This was a really fun weekend

June 30th, 2008 No Comments

And we didn’t even DO that much! We had our shoot on Friday night and just hung out at home after that. I spent Saturday getting the Focus ready for tomorrow’s drive to Orlando and generally screwing off by sleeping late and grocery shopping. But today, today was fun. I finally [...]

Workin’ for the weekend

June 29th, 2008 No Comments

As iconic as Loverboy’s hit from the 80s is, I’m actually doing some work this week and not simply working towards it! I found a nice tall piece of 1/4″ pressed plywood today — it looks like thick wood paneling — that will go great with the found-in-a-dump wood I’m going to use for [...]

New theme

June 26th, 2008 No Comments

I installed the Cutline 2.1 theme tonight (the author also has one for WP 1.5+ but makes almost no distinction between them until you go to download one). It’s nice and plain and slick, nothing fancy. I like that. I’m looking for a header image right now but I should have one [...]

14 year old girl charged with rape after being raped

June 26th, 2008 2 Comments

This one is just maddeningly stupid.
A 14 year old girl in Kansas is charged with rape because the boy who raped her in under 14 years of age. The state law says sex, consensual or not, with anyone under 14 is rape. Despite the fact that the rapist was under 14, he’s now [...]

Florida buys out US Sugar

June 25th, 2008 1 Comment

Yesterday, it was announced that the state of Florida was buying back a huge portion of the Everglades, the most ecologically diverse wetlands in North America. All I can say is thank you. The state is buying roughly 300 square miles back from US Sugar, the nation’s largest cane sugar company. The [...]

God arrested for selling cocaine

June 23rd, 2008 No Comments

Just found this from CBS12:

God is arrested near a church for selling cocaine - a man named “God”, that is.

I find that quite funny and ironic. So some bad drug dealer named ‘God’ Lucky Howard got tossed in the hoosegow for selling smack to undercover cops. Neither was he God nor very Lucky [...]

Erroneous editorial

June 22nd, 2008 No Comments

I was just reading through my feeds and came across this badly written (and even more poorly copy edited) editorial — source and author unknown — mostly about alternatives to oil-based energy. The writer spends most of the entire editorial lampooning solar energy and talking up natural gas. It’s very light on facts, [...]

New Klean Kanteen in hand

June 20th, 2008 No Comments

I got my new 27oz. Klean Kanteen two days ago from reusablebags.com. I got the blue one so I could differentiate mine from my girlfriend’s, it’s a splendidly nice color. I had to order it from a 3rd party because the team at Klean Kanteen never returned my email about when the kolor [...]

Silly downtime

June 17th, 2008 No Comments

Server was down and out for about 4 hours today due to a faulty kernel configuration not loading the proper RealTek driver for eth0 and eth1. Bryan at LSN had to get over to the DC and console in to get it manually loaded. Got that fixed and got the proper kernel booting [...]

Update on Boca’s green certification

June 15th, 2008 No Comments

I just found an update, or rather more information, about the move to seek certification via Boca Raton News. It seems that for Assistant City Manager Mike Woika grabbing the lowest hanging fruit is OK. The city is applying for ’silver’ status which is the lowest certification available from Florida. I’m amazed [...]
