A juggling technophile shares personal stories, challenges, humor and perhaps some political commentary.
Had pizza for dinner and considered a run to HomeDepot for planting supplies. They open at 7am. I’ll try to be there right when they open, get the plants in the ground and then get to work.
Watched “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen” with the entire family cuddled up on the couch. The movie was everything I expected it to be…which would be a somewhat waste of talent.
Is it photoshopped? Or is Kerry’s daughter assuming he’s in the White House already and trying to keep up with the naughty Bush girls? (Kerry’s daughter stouting a see through dress, no bra, but she is wearing panties. Note: this appears in The Sun a British tabloid.)

Story is tattoo much
This author has written a story and will have 2095 volunteers each tattoo one word of the story on any part of their body of their choosing. The completed work will never be revealed to the public. Only the participants will know the story. The author wonders if a caste system will evolve around the “the”s, “a”s and “and”s.
Ran over a stump trying to bush hog the hill with the lawn mower. Having already discovered a door hinge, large sticks, a 4×4, and several other foreign objects the blade sighed heavily and bent at a 90 degree angle.
The other lawn mower still won’t run. I think the fuel line is clogged.
Switched to Round Up. Those hand pumps bite.
Still trying to address my wife’s email problem.
Had a meeting with a client to discuss an ecommerce system. Thrilling conversation. Left tired but jazzed.
Updated resume sent to a recruiter that I thought had given up on me.
My cat rolled over in her sleep and fell off the monitor onto the keyboard full-sizing Mozilla. Stood their on the keyboard for a second trying to figure out where she was then hopped right back on the monitor. Her antics are enough that I’d consider not getting a flat panel monitor. It’s nice to have the gargoyle helping me code.
Dropped in on a recruiter I contacted in Dec and visited in Jan then never heard from again. We discussed that I was still in the system and how the rates in Knoxville for certain skills like DBA work have plummeted. So a dba making $85k 3 years ago might only get $55k today.
I don’t completely buy that picture but instead of writing them off I encouraged them to market me in different ways and changed my salary expectations.
Email sent to friend begging referrals.
