Settled out of court

Monday, March 29th, 2004

I woke up this morning thinking there was a very good chance I could be spending the next 6 weeks in a jury box hearing a case that I can only assume (based on the jury questionnaire) was some smoking / asbestos cancer related case. Last tuesday I got called in for the first round [...]

Just found this site thanks to The Tin Man

Really interesting to go back and see what the Mac UI and Windows used to look like… I’ve used every one of those Mac OS UIs and worked on ‘em in some way or form since System 6.0.8
Just had to share!

Get There faster!

Thursday, March 18th, 2004

Driving in to work today I was doing my usual surfing of conservative radio stations to see what kind of BS was being shoveled. Funny thing was though that when I hit one of them the hosts were talking about the the same issue in Tennessee that my previous post was about and the [...]

On John Kerry and things that hurt the cause

Thursday, March 18th, 2004

I’ve gotta admit that I’m a little bothered by what I’m seeing in the news lately when it comes to presidential campaign tactics. From the Bush / Cheny camp I would expect dirty games however i’ve been a more than a little concerned about what I’m hearing from John Kerry right now too. Its not [...]

Yes I’m alive

Wednesday, March 17th, 2004

But haven’t had a lot of time to post… Probably because I’ve been reticent to post if I don’t have time to write something long and insightful (not that anything I’ve posted in the past has been insightful - but the thought crosses my mind anyway! :):) )… So I’m thinkin that, rather than post [...]
