   Engadget a quotable source  (1/14/2009 11:00 am)

Around work Verizon is doing some work, installing FIOS lines, apparently. The trucks all have this on the side of them:

So fast it hurts!
- Engadget

I'm sorry, but they might as well quote some blog for all the credibility Engadget brings to their endeavor. I just think it's funny Verizon is using something that's basically a glorified ad service (one that I like, nevertheless) as a source of marketing material.

Once again I've ended up with an origami calendar. If you want to keep up at home, feel free to go here, the page will update each day as I attempt to follow the calendar and create something new and exciting.

Yeah, I'm working today. Really I am. I'm sure I get paid to build snowmen. =)

I'm just curious: Does anyone know how to disable this useless warning from Visual Studio once and for all?

   Fun couple of days  (12/18/2008 6:22 pm)

After yesterday's impressive prediction of snow that turned out to be almost completely wrong, I decided to carpool in to work today with a coworker.

Well, that was a mistake. After nearly two hours, we finally made it into work, decided it was still snowing way too much to be a good idea to stay, so we turned around (after finding out we were the only two that showed up) and headed back home. Nearly two hours after we left work, we finally made it back home.

Between this and my lovely history with long commutes home in the snow, I don't think I'll try to drive in the snow again anytime soon.

For a week now I've been feeling generically icky, so much so I had to abort my attempt to go to work on Friday.

Now, of course, I start coughing. I sense a fun week coming up. At least the ever present headache has gone away.

Does this mean our Mini has lost its coolness?

Yet again my mom comes over and helps us out getting a Christmas tree, and once again something horrible happens to her car, in this case the battery went kaput.

How is it with my luck for other's cars I don't have a car blow up once a week?
