WoW Beta Bugs
Last night I finally took Blizzard up on their offer to have a look at the World of Warcraft “Cataclysm” beta for a few minutes… I think it’ll be fun as it’s…

Thoughts…
“Do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am — a relunctant enthusiast . . . a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half for yourselves and your…

Missed E3 this year…
Over the weekend I developed a bit of debilitating tooth issue and needed to get an upper-right molar pulled, so I’m on liquids and vicodin for a few days while…

And now for something completely different…
How many surrealists does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Two… One to hold the giraffe and one to fill the bathtub with brightly colored power tools.

Near death experience…
Well, last night I went into the ER, again. The stress from work plays merry hell with my immune system and I keep getting odd cellulitis issues… This time it’s my right ear. So…

Bunker…
Well, today I proceeded with intent to purchase a 1960’s AT&T communications site out near Kutch Colorado. Being as this is a cold-war era communications facility it was built to withstand…

Signs…
“Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave in a well preserved body – but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit! What a ride!’”

Camera Gear…
The camera I’ll be using for a bit arrived yesterday. I’ve had a rather large collection of cameras over the years that I’ve used for these sorts of off-road photo-shoots.…

E3
Just got back from E3 2009 in L.A. It was pretty amazing. I took today off to make it a long weekend… I’m pooped and will write more later.

New digs
This post is coming to you from the empty livingroom of my new place. Cable gets installed Tuesday, new washer and dryer Wednesday, and the upstairs window gets replaced Thursday.…

A path forward…
Yesterday I mentioned to my CFO, who moonlights as a realestate mogul, that due to events beyond my control I was going to be moving back closer to work –…

Not sure how I feel about it…
The guy I’m renting Ravenwood from just let us know he’s selling the place and is cancelling the lease. I don’t have to pay rent this month, but I also…

Odin…
Ravenwood’s animal quotient increased by one this morning. The new addition is “Odin”. He was born some time around 10am this morning and is a healthy 50-ish pounds. When Erin…

… Snow …
It’s still snowing up here and the power is still out. No worries though, I’m simply enjoying the fire and boiling water for some tea.

It’s dark
It’s snowing here… A lot. There is snow up to the windows, everything but the warwagon is stuck in various places in the driveway, and the power has been out…

Dark Future…
This will be another one of those entries where I essentially ponder out loud, so you’ve been warned… So, “Dark Future”… I was going through my movies this afternoon, looking…

Weekend…
Here I am at the top of day 133… Today promises to be fairly laid back: I don’t have to work on the WarWagon and the PT finally has plates…
-
Coffee…
Well, my drives into work are a little brighter now. Over in Aspen Park someone opened a little drive-through kaffeehaus that serves Dazbog. Dazbog (with an ‘s’, not a ‘z’) is…

Holidays…
Have I mentioned I dislike holidays? There’s just too much stress involved for me to have any sort of enjoyment during this season. Now, granted, a lot of the stress…

Of WarWagons and Winter…
Yesterday I purchased the new intake and carburetor for the WarWagon… An Edelbrock Performer intake and 1405 600cfm carb. The big-box-o-stuff should be here tomorrow, but I don’t see the weather…
