I’ve been developing a fascination with Rubik’s cubes, ever since I was able to learn how to solve them (I think it was only last year). It all started with the Rubik’s calendar cube (you solve one side to show the date), but I had no idea how to solve an entire cube until [...]

I haven’t been posting much here, at least not in formal blog posts. I have jumped on the Twitter bandwagon. Well, I’m sitting on the side of the bandwagon, at least. Nobody is completely sure what Twitter is for, but it basically asks the question, “What are you doing?” It’s a [...]

In keeping with my last post’s title, I got the duplex I’ve been looking at (among several others in the Waco area). It’s a nice 3br/2ba duplex on the corner, right across from the Y, and it has a covered car port. I looked for places with a garage, but they all were either [...]

Today is my ten thousandth day on this little planet. Since the powers of ten are so fundamental to us, why not celebrate my 104 day? It all started around my last birthday, when out of curiosity I figured out that I was 9861 days old, which is really close to D10K. [...]

The Infiniti finally told me it was time to replace the tires (minor air leak on one, almost bald on the back tires). I researched the stock Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires, and the 25,000 miles that were on my tires was near the normal life expectancy. The handy tirerack.com site was [...]

Just returned from a wonderful cruise to southeast Alaska. It was so nice to be in a place where long sleeves and jackets are still worn in June. Tons of pictures are uploading to Flickr as I type, and it will probably take most of the day. I have them all going [...]

Well, I wasn’t planning on upgrading my system quite yet, but I lost all trust in my previous motherboard. It was probably damaged somehow by heat. So above you can see the basic specs that Ubuntu Linux sees. Once I assembled the hardware parts, the system booted up just fine, and apart [...]

I found out that I have somewhat of a newfound skill, useless though it may be. Maybe it’s just sheer patience and a mostly steady hand. I was dismayed to find out that the unofficial world record (Sadly, Guiness BoWR has no entry for golf-ball stacking.) is nine golf balls. Maybe someday [...]

This article sounds too absurd to be true, but if it is, it makes me really appreciate my job.

I’ve taken an unplanned vacation from my website, immediately after my actual vacation. I don’t know why, but I just didn’t feel inspired to write, but it’s about time to get back into the swing of things. The cruise was fun. It was crowded – like living in a decent-sized shopping mall for a [...]
