I’ll be stopping in Vegas again tomorrow night, and staying at…The Hooters Casino Hotel. Hilarity will doubtlessly ensue.

Achtung: Flying Fish

I went fishing with my dad today, and he did really well. He caught five fish: two HUGE cutthroat trout, two good-sized rainbows, and a pretty decent-sized brook trout. I, on the other hand…I hooked one fish myself. Well, hooked might not be the right word. I had a little rainbow that was maybe five ...

Horsing Around

I went horseback riding today with my camera, the pictures that were not completely blurry are now up on Flickr. Western-style riding is ideal for this, since you only need to keep one hand on the reins at all times, instead of both (as you do when you ride English-style). However, it is not ideal ...

This is a test to see if my signature from my Mobile Posting Unit shows up as part of the post or if WordPress automatically strips it. Let’s find out! The preceding message was (mis)typed on a Crackberry. Update: Hm, that’ll make things a bit obvious, won’t it? Updated Update: Aha! This is why I ...

Went for a little ride with the Old Fart Bike Brigade: Atlanta Edition today. And when I say “a little ride”, I mean this nice 28 mile loop. I’m a little tired now. While I did manage to do better than my dad (in his defense, he’s almost 72 and I’m 27), I was slightly ...

Vacation, All I Ever Wanted 2

Vegas was a good news, bad news situation. The bad news was that I lost $15 playing Roulette, because I never fucking remember that you have to have at least $100 to win squat at Roulette until I drop at least $10 in the frame of three minutes. The good news was that I turned ...

On The Road Again

I’m unemployed and gas costs $4.60 a gallon, so what better time is there to take a road trip to Idaho to see my dad? Actually, I’m road-tripping for three reasons: Changeable plane tickets are expensive, even more so than the gas to get the 861 miles between here and Sun Valley. You could not ...

Meet The New Blog, (Sort Of) The Same As The Old Blog

2008

This whole WordPress bit is largely up and running now, so I’m going to start posting over here. A few minor housekeeping bits: Here are links to the Main RSS Feed and the Comments RSS Feed. You’ll see a few comments from my brief (failed) attempt at using Blogger comments, but I’m still trying to ...

Well, all the posts that imported seem to have reverted to GMT. I’ve got to figure out how to fix that. Update: Yeah, I have to go through and hand-update all 1885 posts. At least it’ll kill some Unemployment Time.

Technology Will Be The End Of Me 4

Oh, Blogger. You make me crazy with your refusals to publish and your half-assed FTP impementation. But oh, WordPress, trying to switch to you is making me EVEN FUCKING CRAZIER. Why didn’t I learn something useful in school, like PHP programming? Then I could figure out what the fucking problem is. More to come, possibly ...
