I have had one of the more bizzare weeks in my life this week. I think I should have just stayed home. Each day this week, I had something planned. This is hwo it has turned out so far.

Monday: Appointment to have my har cut and a massage. Forgot to write me in the appointment book. Rescheduled.

Tuesday: Squash game scheduled with a budy. His dog had a seizure, so he had to stay at home to keep an eye on him.

Wednesday: Get together with fellow SCUBA divers to talk about summer diving. Rescheduled for next week due to cancellations, and choice of venue.Read more

Should we then switch our polling section to use the Diebold (ack! now the secret service is going to show up at my door!) software? Or are we already using it?

Well ladies, here is another movie that we must support, as it is based on that wonderful game, Dungeon Siege. Forgive me if I do not link to the actual game in the article, I am behind a firewall which prevents me from browsing to it.

With this stellar cast: Jason Statham, Ray Liotta, John Rhys-Davies, Ron Perlman, Claire Forlani, Burt Reynolds, how could it possibly fail?Read more

I woke up one morning, made myself a bowl of cereal, and shuffled my feet towards my cave where I was going ot indulge myself in a little wakeup surfing, when low and behold, I find a new helper already at my keyboard, waiting for instructions.
