So I’ve neglected to write here for a while, primarily because I’ve been living life instead of blogging it (well, that’s not entirely true) – and partly because I have been experiencing a lot of stuff lately that I don’t want to post publically where just anyone can read it. I would do protected posts,…
The Weekend, Et al.
Things have been going well lately. I know I’ve neglected my blogging in favor of living my life and trying to connect with people again. I realized that if I want to recover my happiness I’m going to have to fight for it. I was caught up in the 2008 United States Presidential Election, like…
Samuel Jackson / Mario Van Peebles 2012!
So, last night Barack Hussein Obama completely pwned John McCain in the United States of America Presidential Election.

I don’t know if you’ve tried Dragon Naturally Speaking before – it’s come a long way since it’s inception. It used to be that you’d have to train it and retrain it and then you’d finally get a semi-working program. But by the time you got it working right, you could have just typed it…
Grandma’s Getting Married!
A lot of posts today, I know, but lots of important news and things to share, thoughts on my mind. An important couple of things: Mom went on a date last Friday night. I was slightly weirded out, but I’m okay. Apparently he was a gentleman and treated her well. My grandma (my deceased father’s…

Macs to Get Netflix Watch Instantly Access via Silverlight
As a Netflix customer, I often enjoyed being able to sign on to Netflix on my lunch break and watch TV shows from their “Watch Instantly” service. Unfortunately, I had to load it up on my virtual machine that runs XP because due to DRM restrictions, Netflix was unable to offer Mac users the service…
