A juggling technophile shares personal stories, challenges, humor and perhaps some political commentary.
Ramblings, often stream of conscious, journaling the events of my life.
I’m so ticked at myself for sleeping as much as I did last night. I didn’t need that much rest.
My wife and I have very differing philosophies on sleep so on nights that I should not be sleeping but “need” sleep she won’t stir me however last night we was kind enough to try to wake me several times but I was too far gone. I can’t set an alarm clock because it wakes her too and then she can’t get back to sleep.
A New Day!
Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:
This Morning
NOoooo! I only had a few more hours of work to do and I made the mistake of taking a powernap..and 8 hour power nap!
The grifters I have for neighbors just reported that that “two big screen televisions” were stolen..and “you’ll see another rental truck out here today because we can’t live without one.” Before these people moved in we had no crime rate in this neighborhood. This had to be setup by them. When they want a new car they conveniently get rear ended. Everything they own is rented so when they want something different it gets “stolen”. If the televisions were really stolen it was by someone that knows them.
No the part that gets my goat. I watched a truck pull into their driveway or yard as it almost hit my Jeep. I meant to go out and talk to them but I got distracted. I wonder what the outcome would have been.
I came home from work early and made the 8 year old and his 10 year old friend cry by cursing at them at telling the older one to never come over here again. Yup. I’m getting better with age!
Whew! I really wish I had another 20-30 solid hours to put into this project. However, it has shaped up very nicely and I’m uploading the code to the live site for client review. There are two critical missing pieces but hopefully I can wrap those quickly.
Wahoo! I’m kick tail! Much coding done. Unfortunately, much more needs to be done.
25°F (-3°C per onlineconversion.com) right now. This house needs better doors, windows and insulation. I should be under the covers!
I love working late at night! I just wish my body was more up to it. I lack the stamina I had in college (except in some areas..ahem!). It’s so quiet at night and the phone doesn’t ring to distract. I get so much work done! Unfortunately, I’ll probably pay for this allnighter over the next several days.

Virtual Island Sells For $26,500 real US Dollars
The MMORPG Project Entropia has just announced that its first treasure island sale via Auction has gone for a grand total of US$26,500.
Last night in the Asperger’s Support Group a mother recounted a tale of her son’s daredevil activities and I had to chuckle to myself because it sounded so similar to my attempt to touch the sky.
I was probably 5 in Wilmington, NC. It’s a quaint little oceanside town of 60,000. Good people. Our house was a one story house with a nice sized front and backyard. The front yard had a huge Magnolia tree with one branch that had a horizontally split in it. My brother and I could put the handgranade shaped seed pods into the split and move the branch to make it devour the cone. We called it The Alligator.
I have always been a climber. Wouldn’t stay in my crib. Climbed down the side of Grandfather Mountain. No tree could stop me. No precipice could frighten me.
One day between the ages of 3 and 6 I took it upon myself to “touch the sky.” I climbed that magnolia tree until my little head popped out of the top. The branches must have barely been supporting me. Fortunately a sharp tone from my mother brought me back down. The story from the support group told of the child demanding that his mother rent a crane to get him out of his tree! (She talked him down)
We have snow! Well, dandruff in the air and you can barely see it but it’s still snow!
Makes me want to run outside and spend 3 days preping the sled hill (removing roots, stumps and other obsticles).
Wow! I just watched Time fly by. I swear today the Earth is spinning faster than it normally does.
A portrait depicting President Bush from afar turns out to be made up of many smaller pictures of monkeys caused the manager of the Chelsea Market public space to threaten “Get this work down or I’m gonna arrest you.” Read more
All hail the administration! Say nothing bad!
I was watching out the back window and a hawk swooped down and flew about 5 feet off the ground through our trees then whooshed up to light on one of the Oaks. It caused quite a stir in the community. I’m not certain if it scored any small fowl but it was a beauty to watch!
