Weighing In

I am overweight. Of all the members of my household, my bathroom scale is the most aware of this fact. It is aware of it, because I frequently hoist my girth upon it and ask it a simple question."Have I lost some of me?""No. You seem to have found more of you.""Crap."Apparently over the years it has begun to see a pattern. If I go up. I get on it again, just to be sure."Are you positive?""

A Marketing Tale

I've been working in IT for over 15 years now and in the corporate environment since 1998. In that time, most places I've been at have not wanted for much in the way of computers. All in all the computers were always up to date and reasonably fast. Certainly adequate for whatever task was needed of them. Irregardless of this effort, nothing was ever good enough for the sheer vanity that was the

Intimidating Servers

When I first got into computers I was 14 or so. The man who helped us get it all plugged in said something interesting to me."After doing this for as many years as I have" David Smith mused, "I've come to the conclusion that all computers have personalities."As he was 40 and I was 14 I did what all folks my age do.

Death by Whiteboard

Dear Diary:Apparently Bothans are like sheep people. It's kinda hard to feel bad about sheep people dying...

Secret Diary of Luke Skywalker Pt.2

Dear Diary:That crazy snow monster came out of nowhere. He completely blindsided me. What's the freaking point of having Jedi reflexes if a giant tusked, snarling snow monster can catch me unaware. I should have been able to smell him at least two hundred yards away. I'm wondering if I'm ever going to become a Jedi. It's really hard to write hanging upside down...Dear Diary:I'm freezing! Looking

Secret Diary of Luke Skywalker Pt.1

Dear Diary:Uncle Owen is a Correllian piss ant! Seriously, this is the last straw! If he pulls that "one more season" crap on me again I'm going to flip out. Big help Anut Beru is... Biggs and the other guys all have power converters for their landspeeders. I'm sick and tired of moisture vaporators. Oh diary...I wish Uncle Owen would just drop over dead. Dear Diary:So I'm stuck talking to the
