When I was 20, had you told me the quantity of Liquid Wrench and Astroglide I would use in my life, I would have never believed you.

A sign of growing up
Recognizing that you should own a nice pen.
Dad Fail
Came home early to cook dinner and spend time with my kids. Now everyone is tense and in tears. Should have stayed at the client’s office.

Lawrence O’donnel on MSNBC on NYPD Police Brutality during Occupy Wall
Wow! Main stream media stood up! This is an excellent piece of journalism. Well worth the nine minutes.

Subversion Error Message On Branch/Tag
Today’s tech problem:
I am trying to create a new baseline for my code. I have checked my code out of my repository, updated individual files to the proper version for the baseline, and then when I try to tag or branch the working copy, I get an error.
Error Commit Failed (details follow):
Error File
Error ‘/svn/foo/bar/branches/blah/snafu/path/to/file/file.cfm’
Error already exists
Because of the failure, the branch attempt, or tag attempt, fail leaving the branch/tag empty.
How can the file already exist if the branch/tag starts out completely empty?
Negative Karmic Debt
I’ve been building up bad karma and things are about to go critical. Must seek good karma!
I miss my AA
Most days, and particularly today, I really miss having an administrative assistant. Karla! Where are you?
And then the Tea Party cheered the death of the uninsured
And Ron Paul back-peddles.
Ron Paul Speaks the Truth!
I have to hand it to Ron Paul. Rick Santorum, attacking Ron Paul, gets applause while showing his ignorance of US foreign policy. When Ron Paul explains, Ron Paul gets boo’d. This exemplifies how Republicans govern on fear and how the Republican audience fails to comprehend the more complex issues at hand.
Let me rephrase:
Ron Paul speaks, we have bases on their sacred land, we mistreat the Palestinians, over the past decade we’ve killed thousands of their people. Audience reacts with boos.
Rick Santorum, Republican poster child, speaks, they hate us because of our lifestyle. Audience reacts with cheers.
Are the American people really that full of themselves?
There are no girl Jedi!
While having coffee one morning at Mojoe’s Trailside Coffeehouse, one of the customers mentions her girl will be attending Jedi camp. Oh! I have to get Evan into this and sure enough, he finds a slot just before the camp fills up. Camp is the last week of June 2011 and Evan had a blast!
Fast forward to today, September 8, 2011, and I’m having coffee in Mojoe’s and talking to the wonderful mother who turned me onto Jedi camp. In the grand scheme of Evan’s life, an enormous amount of time has passed between Jedi Camp and today. The mother says, "Your son is Evan right?" The gears start turning in my head as she continues, "Evan and my daughter had a fight." My heart sinks. The mother smiles, "Evan told my daughter that girls cannot be Jedi. And my daughter argued with him and told him about the women in the Clone Wars." After a chuckle, we talk about little minds, the funny things they produce, and amazement at the fact that the two are still talking about and remembering Jedi Camp. Good times!
