From the Editors Desk: Breakout

Gentle Reader;This is a self serving post. That is to say, a self fulling profissey (Yes, that's really my first attempt at the word prophesy. I wonder why the Firefox spell checker just looked at it, blinked twice then blew its own brains out with a cannon. Did I mention I have trouble with spelling?) Anyway. The point of this post is just a quick revelation. This is first month since October of

Apple Woof

I'm feeling sick. Let me start off by stating that. I find that this statement can sometimes forgive a lot of otherwise unusual action. That being said, I probably would have sent the below email had I not been sick. We have a large recycling barrel in our area, which had the words "Apple Woof" printed on the side of it.I have always assumed this to be a typo, and Apple Wood was intended. Either

Geek Encounters

Yesterday my wife and I found ourselves with a night off, thanks to my mother volunteering to babysit. We arrived downtown a bit early for our movie and decided to pop into the local book store to burn up some time. Patricia headed off into one section by I lingered behind in the sci-fi aisle. All this recent talk about science fiction, sort of got me thinking that I might like to try something

E-mail Levity

As a network administrator I find myself sending out lots of e-mails to all staff.Network outages, software updates, warning messages and other tedious stuff like that. Generally these are vastly boring messages. There is only one thing worse than receiving boring all staff email that you just delete. Spending 15 minutes typing up boring all staff e-mails that just get deleted. So... I've decided

Geeking Out

It's not a bad setup... I still thinks there's room for improvement though. For one thing we need to re-install with Linux.

The Return of Sci-Fi

It's funny, but I wasn't sure I could ever live in a world where Star Trek was off the air. I have come to the realization, that it's okay. Star Trek was my sole definition of Sci-Fi through most of my teenage years. I had yet to discover the joys of reading books by Asimov, Bear, Bradbury and the occasional Crichton. By the way, if you have never experienced Asimov's Foundation series, stop

Sci-Fi Addict

Yeah... I'm addicted to Sci-Fi. Here's wishing for another canceled series I can get hooked on. Firefly, The 4400. Eureka? (please don't do it...)

Geeky Things...

...I've Never Done I've never been to LinuxWorld (Not for lack of trying though...next year!) I've never played a traditional, non computer based, RPG. (I'm a little short on geeky friends...okay, a lot short) I've never modded my computer case. (Unless you count the time, I built and ran my computer without a case...) I have no geeky tattoos (I think I'd like a Tux on my shoulder) I've never
