At the end of May, I finally got off my duff and recorded a couple of podcasts. I have submitted them to T.W.A.T. Radio,which is best described as a community-host daily hardcore techpodcast. This podcast has covered a lot of different topics, fromhacking payphones to using obscure software on Windows or Linux. Thisis people sharing…

How much more evidence do we need that marijuana as bad for you as a lot of people think?

Readers of my blog will know that there’s a road going in outside my house, which necessitates a fence for our backyard. The primary reason: keeping my kids from bolting to the street. The covenants for the property pretty much restrict us from putting up our own fence without getting approval from a certain committee.…

This morning I was awoken to the lovely sounds of smoke detectors “chirping.” Or was it my wife waking me up telling me they were chirping? Either way, it sucks to have to walk around the house to try and figure out which one(s) were going off, but at least it was about 7am instead…

Possible violations of Major League Baseball rights here. Yeah right, like you can barely see anything in these pictures.

Otherwise known as “Safeco Field” where the Seattle Mariners play. Jaden and his friend were going to tonight’s Mariners game. I decided it go along (don’t worry, his friend’s parent was originally going to take him). Not really a baseball fan, but it’s nice to hang out at the ball bark, talk, drink beer, and…

Maybe I should submit this as a Question of the Day: Pick a random song lyric from the next 10 non-instrumental songs in your musical playlist. “Why must we grow up so fast?” — The Eagles, “Pretty Maids All In A Row” “I don’t want to walk around with you.” — The Ramones “I’ve got…

What TV show(s) will you be watching this season? Why? Submitted by ducnly.vox.com”>class=”enclosure-inline-user”>ducnly.vox.com. Grey’s Anatomy and Desperate Housewives. They are both well-writen comedy/dramas that, at least for the moment, haven’t gotten old. I’m tired of every iteration of Law and Order, CSI, Survivor, etc. I might watch Invasion if it shows up on the air…

This evening I am taking a red-eye to the Washington DC area. I’m only going to be there a day or so, which is good. I can get by with a single carry-on. However, because it’s a long flight, I have a lot of videos to catch up on, and my MacBook won’t last the…
