Weathermen Are Nuts

So, that light dusting we were supposed to get yesterday? Yeah. Somehow meteorologists (read: liars) somehow they thought that a storm that turned my commute home into a Fifty-Mile-Long-Ribbon-Of-Icy-Death was "just a little sugar" on top of the snow already on the ground, and it "shouldn't even stay on the roads". It's amazing these guys get paid some days. (more…)

State of the Union Address

Saw this great line on wonkette, that I needed to share:

"Oh, great: An ideal of manhood that respects women and rejects violence, brought to you by the president who wants to ban abortion and starts wars for no reason."

Another 4 years of humor. Bring it on.

Young Man, There’s No Need To Feel Down

Another hour spent at the Y. 10 minutes going about 4.5 mph on the treadmill to get my heart rate up. Then I spent 25 minutes doing various weight training. Then I wandered over and found a rowing machine

The Bally's Liferower has this cool little video game associated with how you row:

It really helps keep you going. I about fell over when I got off of it after 12 minutes. I spent the remainder of my workout hour back on treadmill.

Again, water based (or this time, simulated water based) exercises, are kicking my butt. I'll get you water!

One benefit of having to hurry home from work to get to Y in time to put in a good workout is that I end up eating a smaller dinner too. I have a feeling I'll be mighty hungry in the morning, though. I feel tired, but good. I meant to go earlier in the week, but working until almost 7 earlier in the week kinda put a stop to that.

With that, I have a dog that needs some attention, and wife that wants to go to bed.

It’s Funny Cause It’s True!

30 Things You Didn't Know About Your Office Tech Guy A list of facts you should know, like:

He does, in fact, have a girlfriend. And yes, they did meet once.

He cautiously awaits the American TV version of “Red Dwarf.”

He will spend his vacation time playing “Halo 2.”

He regularly sends instant messages to his roommates…even when they’re all sitting on the same couch.

He is, at this very moment, quoting “Office Space.”

Palm Issues Continued, Phone Limitations

So, I've reached the point where I can't even get my palm to hard reset back to some semblance of a working device. I'm pretty sure it is busted. I think sometime this week I'm gonna take it back to Circuit City and see if I purchased an extended warranty. I really can't remember, but I figure it's worth a shot. In the interim, I was going to try this spiffy little SSH client written in J2ME that I found: MIDPSSH. no dice. Turns out that the Sony-Ericcson T610 doesn't support TCP/IP sockets. So full of hate.
