“Finished” Drill Dozer today. For whatever reason, this game was not on any of the top 10/25/50/100 lists. It’s definitely in my top five. The top five are as follows: Street Fighter Alpha 3u, Ninja Five-0, Advance Guardian Heroes, Drill Dozer, and Mario Tennis. I was impressed by the number of puzzles they managed to [...]
Nora and I had a chance to spend some extra time together yesterday since Lisa stayed out later than expected. Some thoughts: She’s really latched onto Dora. That’s probably because it’s the only show we let her watch. She likes Sesame Street but I have no desire to let her watch more than 30 minutes [...]
I wrote the last entry, depressed the hell out of Lisa, re-read it, depressed the hell out of myself and didn’t feel like updating. That, and I got sick. Nora got sick, then Lisa, then me. Presumably the cats will be fine. – The cherry tree outside kicked the bucket. It looked like it was [...]
With any luck, that gorgeous place will be our new office. Eep. It’s a rehab project to end all projects. The basement isn’t finished, there are no walls on the first floor and there is no second floor – though, with the high ceiling, there’s enough space for two additional floors. The problem is as [...]
There’s no doubt in my mind that Palin will run for office in 2012. She’s going to do it, but not as a Republican. She doesn’t have the support of the moderate Republicans (does such a thing exist?) nor will the more embedded Republicans accept her, since there’s deference to lineage within the party. Romney [...]
You learn something new every day. This seems like it’d be common knowledge, but I wasn’t aware of this. So, I needed to reformat my laptop because the xp installation was broken (my fault, experimented a bit too much). I had misplaced my copy of XP, so I downloaded one from the internet, with the [...]
Nora loves Ikea. She loves the carts that go in all sorts of directions. She loves the furniture layouts – she liked a certain room layout, found a book, sat on the rug and started reading to herself. She absolutely loves the designs for rooms for kids her size. She didn’t see Smalland of course, [...]
Huh #1 That’s it, my new phone. It’s my first Palm device. That’s a stock photo – mine looks exactly like it, except it says Verizon. After five minutes of using it, I realized that as a smartphone, it makes Windows mobile smartphones look pretty stupid. It’s intuitive to use, and incredibly fast. Battery life [...]
Nora most definitely shares my taste in music. She likes pop, she likes punk, she likes some hip-hop (she rocked out to Common’s “Be” in the womb). She enjoys dancing to big band and swing on the Urge music channel (but, she doesn’t like listening to it in the car). Most recently, as I was [...]
Forgive the rambling post. Especially the stuff about cats. No one likes blogs about cats, including me. They are cats, damn it, not engineers. That being said, here we go: 1. The cat peeing on stuff, I’ve determined, has little to do with Nora and a lot to do with me. It seems that every [...]
