I am currently working on a Master's of Education focusing on Technology in Education. Seems only appropriate since I work in IT. I enjoy riding my motorcycle and basically work so I can afford it. If I could get paid to ride around the country sampling fine local cuisine, I'd have to give up my current job.

Road Rage part 2

First off, wow, been a while since I posted anything!  And second, told you there would be another post about road rage (see previous post).
Just for the record, I’m not a perfect driver, sometimes I do *ahem* stupid things.  Having said that, I feel it’s fair to comment on other drives and what stupid things [...]

Press 1 for 1337, press 2 for English

Spelling doesn’t matter, as long as the other person gets what you’re talking about.

Virtual Addiction is REAL!

This really hit me today when I noticed a wall post from someone I know (in the real world).  They stated that they’d be gone for the weekend, but not to worry if anyone saw posts from them because they had asked someone to take care of their farm.  This is s VIRTUAL farm mind [...]

FaceBook, the “new” news channel

There was a plane crash in the area last night.  I found out about it on FaceBook…  Great news and media outlet this FaceBook right?  Well, yes, I guess it is, as a way to keep up with friends and family and find out what’s happening in their lives that you might not normally know.
But [...]

Road Rage part 1

Also known as “how to get yourself on a hit list by not knowing how to drive”
So, I found out something interesting today. Traffic lights, or at least the one I was at, will cycle whether or not someone is over the trigger (you know that space that will activate the light, usually a weight [...]

Political Correctness

This post started from this simple thought “at what point does being Politically Correct infringe on Free Speech”.  That thought has grown considerably and this day before Thanksgiving and I begin to wonder at what point to being Politically Correct, for fear of offending someone, begin to infringe on other rights?  Please feel free to [...]

Server Consolidation

With the looming server consolidation and subsequent reorganization I’ve decided to ramble a bit and share my thoughts and concerns.
I work in an educational environment with a distributed IT model.  Seems years ago (I wasn’t here, so I’m going on hearsay here) the university had a centralized IT model and the level of service the [...]

Horse tits

he pulls up along side and tell me his wife said something fell off the bike. Hmm… I glance over and sure enough, the plastic cover for his tape deck is gone. I point it out and he just stares for a couple of seconds then says.

Horse tits!

meetings

I had a meeting today.
I know, exciting stuff, I can barely contain myself.
The highlight of this meeting was explaining to another “IT” person why a port number was important for a particular product.  After the third time telling him, I finally gave up and said “I really don’t know why it needs it.  It is [...]

Spam! Glorious SPAM!

So, I’m getting comments on posts.
Fantastic right?
Well, not so much when you consider they are bullshit spammers trying to get comment approval so it can link to the latest penis/breast enlargement.  Really, as if I don’t get enough spam as it is.  If I write something and you think it’s great, comment!  By all means, [...]
