Toad Flu Blues

Toad Flu Blues (12/20/05)
As the flu that I had clears through, guess who’s back
The lyrical stylings of this kid with a knack
But nothing has stacked up and I’m feeling damn empty
I need to get mad, come on, won’t you tempt me?
Cause I know you detest me in the way you address me
Money and power and [...]

Random Rants

I haven’t posted anything lately and I want to bitch….looks like I’m killing two pigs at one Mexican baseball game with this one…
Fast Food Gift Cards:
Have you people seen these commercials? McDonalds and Dunkin Donuts, among others, suggesting we should give their gift cards to people as a Christmas gift! (It’s Christmas! Fuck you and [...]

When Life Gives You Lemons…

This is the Dilbert comic strip from December 9th. It’s one of the funniest things I’ve read in a while. Thought you all may enjoy it, also.

My Drug

My Drug (12/11/2005)
It’s been twenty days or perhaps a few more
I lost count the moment that my head hit the floor
I feel so absorbed by the call of the affliction
How can one ignore and not fall to this addiction?

And battle off the hunger while quenching my [...]

Wall of Nothings

Wall of Nothings (12/8/2005)
It’s like every time that I see her I get myself tongue tied
Like a Dad with no words the first time that his son lied
And suddenly the fun times just no longer matter
The strength in my knees retreats and I’m shattered
My heart races and patters as the words stumble and stammer
Millions of [...]

Review of AIM Triton

Over the years, AOL’s Instant Messenger has become their flagship product, a representation of the entire company in the eyes of many. However, the last major update was over 2 years ago and the only real changes made to the application revolved around which bundled software came with it. With such an outdated code base [...]

Deaf Exasperation

Deaf Exasperation (12/5/2005)
I’m staring out a window screaming
Can anybody out there hear me?
I’m freeing my demons
Please just listen…
And I’m on your rooftop crying
To the world from which I’m hiding
Do you see me? Can you hear this?
No one listens, be alone now
I thought I was done with crying
Was everybody out here lying?
I hate this, embrace this
You [...]

Wizards of Winter

You guys have to check this one out. These guys synchronized their Christmas lights to the trans Siberian Orchestra’s “Wizards of Winter”. It’s so amazingly cool.

What Time Is It?!

“What time is it?!”
“Game time, woo!”
And that’s how it started. Because the league changed our team name to the Timberwolves, I couldn’t do my usual pre-game cheer with the basketball team I coach, so I fell back to the old Bull’s classic from the 90’s. New name, new cheer, and a new and improved basketball [...]

NexPad is a multi-document viewing solution originating from my needs for an application with the simplicity of Notepad, but also with some extra polish to increase my own efficiency when working with many documents at once (multiple text files, multiple html files, etc.).
This is simply a pet project of mine. I found [...]
