The mighty Ken Jennings struck out.
Today was the day, as reported everywhere. 74 time champ of Jeopardy, was defeated. That’s not all that bad as he broke zillions of records and won 2.5 million dollars. Ken is a software designer and he seems to be a hell of a nice guy. [...]

At least it wasn’t the version from the crappy movie with Matthew Broderick

Godzilla finally getting the props from Hollywood he deserves!
Actually, don’t you (or someone on your behalf) actually have to purchase your star on the walk of fame?
The blog battle against spam
11/27/2004 – 2:17 pm
I’ve been being hit with comment spam on my blog for a bit. At first it was just one or two comments a week and I’d go in and nuke them from the database. Then it got to be 15 at one time from a dozen IPs. At this point I turned [...]
He likes to “watch himself type”?
11/19/2004 – 9:42 am
Okay, when someone drones on and on in real life we like to say “he likes to hear himself talk.” But what happens when someone drones on and on while on IRC or instant messaging or whatever? I’m suggesting “he likes to watch himself type.”
Back from vacation
11/18/2004 – 4:19 pm
I’ve been back from a conference for work and vacation for a few days now. I’ve finally feel like I’m back on top of stuff after not being home for a week and a half or so. Its all very disorienting.
The conference for work was in Orlando and it went really well for [...]
LOAD “:*”,8,1

I got to take a geeky trip down memory lane last Sunday morning.
I was over at my parents and they were cleaning out the storage room in the basement. One of the things to go was one of those VHS wall storage units. We had moved it to the basement long ago and [...]
WLS less sucky in the morning!
11/16/2004 – 7:53 pm
Okay, this is old news by now, but I was out of town for a week or so. I just have to say, its good to have Don and Roma back on in the morning. Much better than the crap they had on while WLS and D&R were figuring out contract stuff.
Erik Estrada
11/6/2004 – 3:02 pm
Today at work, Erik Estrada walked by me. He signed people’s autographs for 3 hours. The women are nutty about this guy. Sadly, I haven’t gotten a picture of him and me.
But still, aren’t you jealous?
[Update 5:15: Okay, it was actually 4 hours... So, at 5 it was time to [...]
I’m speechless
11/3/2004 – 10:33 am
I just don’t know what to say. I was doing the old “hope for the best, expect the worst” so I’m not as bummed out today as I could be. Its just very amazing to me that it ended up this way. I honestly can’t see why a majority of this country [...]
