My mother is visiting from Wisconsin this coming weekend so we’ve been busting our tushes trying to make things presentable for her. After the baby was born, all of the spare time that used to be there is out the window…at least he’s got an excellent temperment so it could be worse.
Anyway, I’m working [...]

Apparently I’m accident prone.
Just ran out of the office to get a bite to eat. Innocent, yes…this time!
The limo was trying to make a turn into the wall of tourists crossing the street and I just happened to be at the end of a good portion of them. Luckily, I walk fast and he was [...]

Yesterday, I got out the lights, ladder and staple gun with intentions of decorating the porch for the holiday season.
Sounds like a good idea right? Well, it was supposed to be.
I got the ladder set up, picked up a set of lights, grabbed the staple gun…and shot myself right in the finger. No idea how–it [...]

Over the past couple of days, I’ve been playing with the latest beta of WordPress 2.7. It’s got a few cool enhancements (the new dashboard slick, as are the enhancements to the plugin interface).
The only downfall so far is that it seems to be extremely slow…
Either way, Caffeinated Content still works perfectly.

Might be slow on emails today…doing my civic duty and reporting for jury duty. I’ll probably spend most of the day waiting. And waiting. And waiting. But it’s reported that the courthouse juror waiting rooms have wifi, so I’ll certainly be bringing the laptop along.
We’ll see, I guess.
Update (10/30/2008): Two days waiting and then selected [...]

Today, I went to the Apple Store to grab the latest and greatest from Steve Jobs–the 15-inch LED-backlit widescreen notebook known as the MacBook Pro. Normally, I’m a Windows guy, but have a machine in the office running linux and basically holding all of my media. Basically, I’m equal opportunity when it comes to computing.
First, [...]

So last weekend was supposed to be a nice calm family weekend. Do a little house cleaning, visit the little weekend festival at the church, have Ethan out and about playing with the neighborhood kids…nice simple stuff.
Not to be so! Saturday was a slow day, though I was on baby duty because my wife came [...]

Today, I got lunch at an established oriental food joint here in NYC (Teriyaki Boy for anyone interested). Because of racial profiling, 99% of the time I am given what every other blond-haired blue-eyed guy usually gets: a fork. Today, however, I was given chopsticks…nothing but chopsticks.
I come from the midwest. You know, Wisconsin. There [...]

Today I was goofing around with my server (trying to make wildcard domains work again on one specific domain) and to make a long story short, I jacked apache just enough that it wouldn’t start.
All seems fine and dandy now (after I finally realized what I did) so it’s back to business as usual for [...]

Them: So, were you in an altercation? Me: Yeah, with a piece of wood.
Them: Were you unconscious? Me: Yes, before it hit me… afterward I was wide awake enough to drop the F-bomb about 30 times in a row.
Anyway, at 3 AM in the morning, I was sleeping…you know, unconscious. At 3:10 AM, I [...]
