As a present, I have arranged for the Yankees to get to the playoffs this year! Happy birthday, buddy!
When I got home from work this evening, I saw a science fiction magazine in my pile of mail and got excited because I thought perhaps it was the December 2006 ANALOG. I am very anxious to read Part III of Robert J. Sawyers, “Rollback”. It turned out to be the December 2006 ASIMOV’S. It’s…
One thing I did over the weekend was to re-reun my financial modeling software (this is software I developed over a period of 10 years that projects every single financial transaction I will make into the future based on a given starting point, and that I use in place of things like Quicken) which is…
Why I don’t believe in karma: One would think that because I turned in the $100 bill I found on Saturday that I had a little karma coming to me. So today, one of my co-workers asked if I had a DVD that they could borrow to test the DVD functionality of a laptop. I…
I finally got to the Gap on a break today and picked up 2 new pair of jeans to replace the 2 that are wearing away. And you know what, they aren’t those nasty faded looking kind. Still they are not Levi’s. (Do they still make Levi jeans?) Can anyone tell me why Gap jeans…

Today has been one of those slow Sunday afternoons typical of early fall. I don’t feel like reading, I don’t feel like writing. I would otherwise be pretty bored, except that last night I picked up the first three seasons of Scrubs on DVD so I’ll probably spend the afternoon watching an episode or two.…
I did a video iChat with Jim this morning. We used to do these more frequently but today was the first Sunday in quite a while that we’ve done it. You know what, it hasn’t lost it’s novelty yet. Jim lives in Ventura County, north of L.A. and it’s pretty cool to be able to…
