I’m Handi-capable

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? How [...]

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 of [...]

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 to [...]

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 single-player game), [...]

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 results achieved [...]

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 [...]

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 / LiveJournal, the [...]

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 to me [...]
