So for the last few years, I’ve noticed a trend: I’m no longer cool. I wasn’t all that cool to begin with – I preferred to be cool in a different way, by being a geek. Last night I was online trying to finish up an eBay transaction with a customer over the phone, and…
My First eBay Sale!
Congratulations go to big_man_69, who recently purchased one of the Sony PSPs I’m selling on eBay. There are still 9 left of the old 3.52 version, and I have 20 of the new Slim & Lite version of the PSP in Rose and Lavender colors. These are, of course, the Japanese models, because you can’t…
An Open Letter to Thermostat Managers
Alright, this should be pretty simple, but a lot of people just aren’t getting it. I know it’s starting to get cold, but you need to realize, some of us larger folks get warm and stay warm pretty easily. So when all you skinny folks go “but it’s freezing” and your building maintenance manager turns…
Grandma has Cancer
Anyone, everyone who reads this: My grandmother has breast cancer. She just found out yesterday. It hasn’t metastasized to anywhere else in her body, so she should be okay. She has opted to have the breast removed rather than go through chemotherapy. The doctors say that removing it entirely should eliminate the cancer completely. I…
On TVs
So, I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, but I have a pretty big TV. Fifty-five inches of Hitachi HDTV goodness. I had been eyeing it online at Circuit City for a few months when all of the sudden, it drops $500 in price over Memorial Day weekend, so I snatched it up on…
Back in Black
You know you missed me! I’ve been busy lately, what with playing my used copies of Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II on my Playstation 2, going to Halloween parties, trying to get my self-employment gig started back up again, and evil diabolical plans and all. My new business is called “The Raging Tech,” –…
Peace in the Media Services
Finally — it’s October, almost 8 months since we started having serious issues with Mediacom at our new place. For the uninitiated — we had problems with our cable company, Mediacom, where we couldn’t watch our TV and use the internet at the same time. We were finally told the only way to obtain the…
The Return of the Innernets!
That’s right, someone finally turned the wheel and opened the floodgates on the series of tubes that is the innernets to my house. Mediacom came out last week and re-installed our cable modem so we could be back online. Boy, the Nintendo Wii sure is a lot more fun when you have internet access. Strangely,…
Five Months Off: Too Long?
So it’s been five months since I’ve written *anything* just for the joy of writing. I think maybe life’s been too crazy for me to feel motivated to blog. My blog isn’t a catharsis for me, really. I don’t miss it when I’m not blogging. And I doubt anyone else does, either. What I really…
I Cut My Hair
So… I got the first haircut I’ve had in the 9 months I’ve been back up in the mountains. It feels good.
