What a day. I write this with just a glimmer of a tear in my eye. I’ve gone through most of the day just as normal, not really thinking about anything other than work and trying to make sure that my level of patience stays at a decent level. After my meeting tonight I was…Read more

Youtube mobile upload
This is kind of cool. Maybe it’s not a new feature, but I just discovered it. Youtube allows you to send videos from your cell phone and post them. Very cool for stealthily blogging nasty shit you don’t have time to write about. It also allows you to post to certain blogs, unfortunately movabletype is…Read more
Useless?
Not completely, but I am pretty much in a non-posting mood this morning. I stayed up too late last night. We watched the season premier for one of the few shows that I watch on TV, 24. For some reason, even though 90% of the stuff is just incredulous, I still enjoy it. Last night…Read more
Back to a semblance of normality…
…is where we are at this week. The holidays are over and it’s back to work for the wife today. The smallest one went back to the daycare yesterday, and the two oldest start school tomorrow, just in time for my two days off. I am still a little congested, but I feel much better…Read more
Christmas Eve?
It is in my house. Tomorrow is my only day off until after Christmas. I am working at least 15 hours on Christmas Day, and Chris has to work as well, 7am-9pm. Since my children are Santa’s “favorites” he comes to visit us a week early most years, coinciding with whatever my days off might…Read more
Way too Early
Chris has an all day wrestling tournament to attend, so I will be leaving shortly to drop him off at the school. I have stuff that has to be done at work anyway, so will just go in a bit early. As long as I don’t end up working a double today I may finally…Read more
Amazon
Amazon is doing this thing where users can vote on what is going to be on sale, and then on Thursdays they offer 1000 of them at a pretty decent discount. Last week it was for the Xbox 360 Core System. I was a pretty good deal at $100. Christopher is dying for one, so…Read more
Sleeping In
I managed to sleep through the kids getting ready for school today. I vaguely remember at least one of them waking me up, but went right back to sleep. Managed to nap until about 8:30 or so. Very nice. Since Divx converter does not work in Windows Vista, I am experimenting with Xvid and AutoGK…Read more
Pain in the Ass Children
Around eight months ago, my oldest child got a job. Originally it was to pay for auto insurance, as I think that he needs to pay his portion if he wants the responsibility of driving (that and it doubles my freaking rates to put him on the policy). Needless to say, I have yet to…Read more
Thanksgiving Dinner
Originally I had not planned to join my family in Atlanta this year for Thanksgiving. I was able to change plans this afternoon and we drove to Roswell and had supper with my family. My Grandmother and Great Aunt were there, as well as my Mom and Dad, and a couple of Aunts. It was…Read more
