I remember when...

Watermelons had seeds
Televisions had dials
Streets had payphones
Computers had floppies
Supermarkets had arcade games
Only doctors or drug dealers had pagers
No one had a cellular phone
People wore tube socks
I made my girlfriend a mix tape
VCRs were amazing
Costco clerks read off the SKU numbers
Stores called the bank when you wrote a check
Macy's used a carbon machine on your credit card

Monday's Passing

I just had a very good Monday. I came in to work today, wondering what I was going to be doing, and ended up spending 8 hours shooting trouble on an elusive issue.

Hopefully that jump start will help me

For the Love of Ants

What could be more noble than an ant? What creature could be a better example of what is right and good in the world? What person can not say that the studious, devoted, hard working ant was anything but the best that the insect world could create?

They aren't slimy like a worm. They aren't poisonous like a millipede. They don't consume their spouses like a preying mantis. They don't sting

The Mayans Were Right

I have been neglecting my blog, not because I have nothing to say, but because I cannot think of anything amusing. The truth is lately I've been rather depressed.

Another Day At The Office

As I sit here in my office staring at quad core computers, large LCD monitors, high end speakers, company laptops and friendly office white boards all I can think is, "I really want to steal something!" Must be September 19th again...

Pirates are a free and happy bunch. Back in a time when men in powdered wigs, breeches, high heels and ruffled collars ruled the land what was a free thinker to do
