Our first week in Vietnam has come and gone, and it's still great.  We just got back into Saigon from a trip to Nha Trang, which is an ocean-side city about 45 minutes (flying) from Saigon.  It was fantastic.  We spent two whole days sitting in front of the ocean on beach-chairs drinking cheap drinks and eating fresh ...

For those of you playing along at home, that's a reference to a series of blog entries I did in a past life about a trip I took to China.  It has nothing to do with this post. Emmi and I have landed in South Korea, and we're sitting outside of an internet cafe that has apparently forgotten to secure their wireless internet ...

I just watched the new Knight Rider movie (which was essentially the pilot episode for a new series), and wow.  I really enjoyed it.  I just recently spent some time watching the original series, and it was just as disappointing as every other show I really enjoyed as a child.  I wish I could watch those shows with the same amount ...

That's how long I worked for yesterday.  I'm going to sleep.

I just got home. Ok, that's not strictly accurate.  I got home about 20 minutes ago.  Before I sat down at the computer, I took a shower because, well, I needed it.  Without getting into too much detail, I'm the tester for Komponent Y on Feature X, which is the project I work on at (where else?) work.  Over the ...

Forgive the overwhelming geekiness of this post, but - no, I take that back.  If you don't like this, I hate you. Over the last week, I've made some big changes to my computing environment at home.  I figured that I'd record some of my observations while using each of these different operating systems because - well - I ...

People have often told me that I have fairly good people skills, and that I get along well with others. This is amazing in and of itself because I typically detest other members of the so-called Human race, and try to avoid them whenever possible. Especially in conversation. And yet, as unfolded today, sometimes you just have to take the ...

Sometimes, when I know that people or businesses check their website referral logs (which indicate where visitors came from and where they left to), I like to go to really disgusting or strange porn sites, then to their site, and then to another porn site just so they have something interesting in their logs. I like to imagine that someone, ...

It looks like that whole 'sleeping soundly' thing is over and done with. It's 4:00AM and I haven't slept a bit. Tonight my thoughts are occupied by a few different things - problems I'm trying to solve at work, things to do this weekend, ideas that I could/should patent, and the troublesome notion that Garfield is ...

This is a one-sided IM conversation I had with my friend, Lance He has been one of my best friends since I was a freshman in High School... that's like what?  8?  9 years? I really wouldn't be the person that I am today if it weren't for him.  He is a kind, and helpful soul, dispite hating everyone else with a pulse. ...
