My grandmother passed away Tuesday evening 9/23 at 8:25pm. Aged 96 years, 2 months, 16 days. What a full and wonderful life she had. We all should hope for so much for ourselves. Her life stands as a living proof that hard work is rewarded and that love conquers all. Thanks so much to all of you for your kind words. My family and I are truly saddened at our loss, but yet we cannot help but

One of my young friends from karate recently added a video from Animusic to his profile on Facebook. Seeing it again just brought back my memories of enjoying seeing it for the first time, and being absolutely spellbound by the beauty of the music itself, and the mind-bending intricacy of the imaginary instruments that were created to bring it to life. Its a real labor of love with a fascinating

I'm still at work as I write this even now. *sigh* I plan on getting back into the swing of things again soon.

Greetings. I think I have a bit of an exposé for you tonight, friends. So pay attention. Its coming down to that time of the year again when we start to think about taxes. W-2s in the mail, 1099s, etc., etc. Last year, I was a very happy user of Turbo Tax Online (Link) and so I decided to go back again and use the service.

  A game 900 years in the making... Assassin's Creed was one of the top selling games for Xbox 360 and PS3 this past holiday season,  and with good reason. The game is a milestone of innovative game play and story-telling, but an otherwise excellent game is tarnished by a few poor decisions made by the game designers. It tells the story of Altair, a master assassin during the time of the

One of the main reasons I stopped updating my blog on a regular basis last year was due to the absence of a truly good stand-alone application that I could use to craft my posts in. There were several decent tools out there for managing blogs, but any of the ones with full feature sets were shareware tools, and I didn't think I blogged enough to justify spending any money on it. Sounds cheap, I

Season's greetings, everyone! I'm glad to see there's still a few people out there checking up on my well being. I must confess that I've been sadly devoid of a muse for the past few months. I need to rethink what I'm trying to do here so that I have a consistent stream of quality content to offer up.

Ted and I were on our usual Friday sabbatical to Chili's earlier (no, no encounters with INS) and the bartender started talking about her last trip to Las Vegas which got me in a very reminiscent mood of my own adventures in Sin City. :-) Last year, I was treated to a trip to Vegas by my brother, TD3k, when he decided to cash in a butt load of frequent flyer miles for he and his wife, and little

My parents gave it some deep consideration and actually asked me what I wanted to do. We mutually agreed that I would leave public school and begin attending a private school nearby. I remember it was just before the beginning of the last

Before I begin relating what was, to this point, the most pivotal event in my life, I want to take a moment to thank BlackOps over at Sojourner Browny for inspiring me to share these events with anyone who will stop and read them. Sometimes there is value in the sharing, even if only a few receive it.I've always been a big guy. I remember Mom ordering school clothes for me when I was young and

I just wanted to take a few seconds and post a congratulatory note out to my Mom & Dad. Today they are celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary, and with each passing day (as I was always told would be the case) I discover new ways in which the lessons they taught me ring true in the life I now lead on my own.Congrats, Mom & Dad and thank you both for everything you've done to see me through!

Yeah so its almost Thursday as I post this, but I found this link I had stashed away and I knew this was primo blog material. So enjoy...As a rule of thumb, I'm not really big into techno or dance music, but I've heard my fair share and even have a few favorite artists; one of whom is Fatboy Slim.So that being said, you have to check out the link to the music video for one of the songs from an

Been enjoying BlackOps' blog, Sojourner Browny recently. He's got a great 3 part post over there reminiscing about the great New York City Blackout of 1977. Its an epic tale of darkness, insufferable heat, looting, pillaging and other crazed mob activities. My only complaint is that its all one paragraph! :-) DUDE! Hit the Enter key every 1000 words or so! LOLGo check it out and leave BlackOps

Well, I just sent Jef home after a great supper and chance to visit and catch up with him. You can catch up with his blog Thunderfish (formerly known as Quizzicles) to get the latest update on the procedure that he recently had done.

It gnaws at me to watch the footage on television. The people weeping, dazed, covered with blood and debris. How can anyone feel justified in doing this to innocent people? What level of fanaticism must one have to murder scores of people and think that any God would want that to happen?If I could only send one message to those responsible it would be this:The burning resolve to expunge this

So here it is. Another year gone by, and quite a milestone this year will be. The end of the 20s! The predawn of Middle Age. The twilight of Youth. An epoch of time that shall not be seen again.What a bunch of melodramatic crap...But as I sit here at work, deep in the bowels of the mega-evil Insurance Conglomerate, I feel compelled to indulge in a moment of pensive introspection.

The P word. The thought of it makes my eyes water like someone pulling out my nose hairs with an egg beater. Politics, and its older brother, Organized Religion, are the two most lethal subjects on the planet. Without question more people have been killed in this world for what they believe (politically or theologically) than any other reason fathomable. Its a wise man who once said that "there

Only time for a quick post tonight before I lumber off to bed, but I wanted to share this one with everyone. Apparently a "prophet" in Las Vegas has learned the power to conjure up UFOs on command.

Well at long last, myself and a group of co-worker friends got out to see Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, and it was quite a treat. Getting to see a movie like that with friends is really cool, especially when they bring their kids along to share in the experience. I get a kick out of hearing what they think about things.It never ceases to amaze me how rude some people can be, though.
