Al-Jazeera

Thursday, March 27th, 2003

I find it more than a little odd that Al-Jazeera’s web site has been down and un-reachable for days now… Granted I think that that site is even more of a propaganda machine for the other side as CNN is for ours so I don’t trust what they would say on there.. But even as [...]

Many of us lost a friend today…

Wierdness

Thursday, March 20th, 2003

Roller coaster day…
Alarm clock didn’t go off for some reason (or maybe it went off and I turned it off without bothering to wake up - you’d have to ask kevin)…. So I woke up EXACTLY when I was supposed to BE at the gym… throw on gym clothes and my contacts and flew down [...]

Lost in the translation

Wednesday, March 19th, 2003

I LOVE seeing mis-translations of english phrases when I go to non english speaking countries but this might be my favorite… This was the front page of ‘Der Spiegel’s’ web site (kind of the German version of Time Magazine):

The follow on page with the full article had it right but thats what happens when you [...]

And it begins

Tuesday, March 18th, 2003

I keep starting to write something here about what is going on in the world and wind up getting flustered and sad and stop…
And now, with what the president said last night to the world and the iraqi response this morning (which couldn’t have been a surprise to anyone) it seems the path is set… [...]

Auto Service

Monday, March 17th, 2003

So does ANYONE know how to get estimates on auto work that you can trust when you’re not a mechanic yourself? I always feel like every time I take my car in for work that is more than an oil change I’m getting screwed and it just kills me. To mechanics work on commission?
So a [...]

LOL… So, just as I suspected - I’m still figuring out how I should be using this crazy thing and what kind of things I should be posting here and what kinds of things are going to require another forum… And, at the same time, Ray and Matt are (rightfully) busting my chops about going [...]
