I just clipped my toenails. All ten of them. By myself. This is an accomplishment.

stop. go.
I’n currently on Earhart, not moving. Why? Stupid fucking rush hour. For a long time, I’ve said that traffic congestion is worse than genocide. You can really only fully kill a group of people off once, and traffic is everywhere. When was the last time you banged your fists in anger and aggravation over Darfur?… Continue reading stop. go.
One month after The Fall
Well, one month ago tonight, I busted my knee open. When sitting, I can bring it to an almost 90° angle, and when walking, I’d say I’m down to a smaller limp. Stairs, however, make me feel like I should have been cast in Freaks. Usually throughout the day, I gradually stretch the ligament instead… Continue reading One month after The Fall
The First Day of the Rest of Your Life
Mike and Andee, I hope that all goes well today, and look forward to seeing ten new fingers and toes tomorrow. You two will be wonderful parents.
The Kool-Aid is a Lie.
Well, I beat Portal in a little over 5 hours, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Looking at my stats, I see there are 14 different achievements, of which I have completed 4. These look to be some fun additional challenges. As for the NOMMUG meeting, well, I think they should change their name… Continue reading The Kool-Aid is a Lie.
The Cake is a Lie.
I know I have written about Portal (watch the trailer (again) dammit) before. Well, I just bought it and am itching to play it, except before I do that I have work here, some side work, and then some web nerd meeting before I start dreaming in portals. Since I actually have Half-Life 2 (the… Continue reading The Cake is a Lie.
HDR Photography
I don’t remember where I got the original link, but this picture really got me interested in HDR Photography: Not that I’m a photographer, or have a tripod, or anything really other than a point and shoot camera, but it really intrigued me. That photo, and many others (Flickr HDR pool) show the stunning… Continue reading HDR Photography
Goodnight Moon
The last lunar eclipse for two years is tonight! Shades of turquoise and red will pour over the moon’s surface as it moves into the Earth’s shadow around 7:43pm. As NASA reports: Transiting the shadow’s core takes about an hour. The first hints of red appear around 10 pm EST (7 pm PST), heralding a… Continue reading Goodnight Moon
Y2K38
I was reminded of this XKCD comic by a friends blog post the other day. I won’t go into UNIX Time and bore the crap out of y’all, I just wanted to show you my shirt: Ahh, 32-bit time. And a fun little fact for those of you who read this via RSS feeds /… Continue reading Y2K38

Hi. My name is Will, and I’m lost. Over the past few weeks, I’ve had a fair amount of “I’m awake, but can’t really move or think all that clearly” days. Much time was filled re-watching seasons 1 and 2 of The West Wing. After Season 2, I was introduced to a new crack, administered… Continue reading 4 8 15 16 23 42
