De-ugification

This blog is slightly less ugly now.� � Could still use some work, but it’ll do for now.

Tele-not-communications

As a person responsible for the phones and cellphones of a business, I would like to say that if any telecommunications company can get their act together and provide something vaguely resembling good customer service, they have my business.
I’ve been switching from Sprint to Cingular for our “executive” phone accounts.� It’s been relatively smooth, [...]

Big move

After much consideration, hestitation and general mixed feelings about the idea, I’ve decided to move into a new blog. This is blog is powered by WordPress. I’ve imported all my old content back to when I started blogging in Conversant in early 2000 (I blogged in Manila for a bit before that).
Conversant [...]

RIP: Glenn Mitchell

In Memory: Glenn Mitchell. Glenn Mitchell was the most prominent local voice on KERA, Dallas’s NPR station. He was on daily from 12pm - 2pm, and died suddenly over the weekend. He covered national and global topics as well as local ones, but it was always nice to have a talk show [...]

Downsizing

In general guilt over succumbing to the excesses of Texas, and in an effort to save some money on my bottom line, I have ordered a Scion xB. It’s still possible I won’t get it, since I have to find a buyer for my Tahoe, but I have about 3-4 weeks before it’ll arrive [...]

Girl killed trying to save turtle

So sad. I’ve saved many a turtle from the highway in my day, and you do have to be very, very careful. They didn’t mention how the turtle faired.

Are you winking at me?

I passed two red Volkswagon beetles within about a mile of each other on my way to work this morning. Both had their headlights on, which wasn’t really necessary at the time. The first one had it’s left headlight burnt out. The second one had it’s right headlight burnt out. Hmm.

Pocket Motorcycles

Pocket Motorcycles are the most ridiculous looking things I’ve seen in some time. On weekends, a group of enthusiasts meets at a local parking lot and does obstacle course on them and such. They look very uncomfortable to ride, and just plain odd — especially when the riders are full grown man all [...]

Popcorn warning

Reading this story, I’m not sure if I’m more scared that a 3-yr-old choked on popcorn, or that the parents brought a 3-yr-old to see “Alien vs. Predator”.

These guys

I had a 3 hour drive in a rental car today and ended up listening to talk radio most of the way. Specifically, I listened for a while to the Sean Hannity show, with today's guest host, Oliver North. I haven't had much exposure to crappy right-wing talk radio, so I was a [...]

Tough week to be a turtle

We had significant flooding in the area last week. We also have a significant population of red eared slider turtles, which have now been rudely relocated by the flood waters to places that are far from home, and often now quite far from water since the flooding receded.
Net result? Lots of turtles wandering [...]
