Six Months of Silence

Wow. Six months of silence. I’ve been busy, damn it! Let’s see, first, Phoenix Networks (my ISP) was bought out by Telocity (Boo! Hiss!), then NorthPoint Communications went under, leaving me with an ISP, but no lines to connect with. So that, combined with moving once again, left me pretty much unable to update this damned thing. Okay, that and my general laziness. What else? I decided I wasn’t managerial material, and gave up my office for a cube (excellent move, I believe), and then arranged to work remotely, so I barely ever see my cube. Next step: Get paid for just thinking about working.

Nothing new yet, since I still haven’t hooked up the scanner, and am not ready to go through the effort of copying all of my random scribblings onto the computer. Just wanted to let the world (both of you) know that I’m still alive. I will bow to pressure and put up pictures of the kids soon, I promise.

  • Stop CCFR by Nathan

    Every day, millions of lights across this country are needlessly left on, the result of CCFR. Every day, millions of watts of energy are wasted. Every day, dishes are left scattered across the table and counter, muddy footprints are tracked through houses, and family pets go without water. All the [...]


  • Why I Will Not Be Shopping At Sears by Nathan

    Sears is an interesting company. They delivered a brand new dryer on Friday, complete with rusted gouges on the body. Most companies would send undamaged merchandise, or offer to repair the damage. Sears, bold pioneers that they are, have chosen instead to offer to send me a bottle of touch-up [...]


  • The Glass by Nathan

    It’s said to be a metaphor for how you see the world how is your life?- full of joy? or is it full of sorrow? A simple glass, half full or half empty determines who you are. If you treat it as a simile your life (or are we talking [...]


  • The Dark Side by Nathan

    My conversion to the Dark Side is complete. I watched my wife go over and scoffed at her, how easily-led she was, how willing to lock herself in to a predetermined path. Then came Vally, showing me the power and ease of using the dark side. I liked my freedom, [...]


  • Vally Took The Summer With Her by Nathan

    I went to sleep last night with the warmth of August and awoke to a cold house and a day of bright skies and bitter winds. That, and the piles of freshly-fallen redwood leaves tells me that summer left with Vally and fall is upon us. Goodbye, summer. Goodbye, Vally. [...]

  • Big Questions by Nathan

    Saturday is my day for quiet reflection and self-aggrandizing pomposity. Saturday is the day I ask the Big Questions. Why am I here?* Have I led a good life?** Where the hell did I leave my book? Seriously, where is my book?


  • Freaky by Nathan

    This is but one of several heads mounted along the walls of my grandfather’s house. They used to scare the hell out of me when I was younger.


  • Busted by Mutton by Nathan

    Poor Aaron has a love/hate relationship with sheep: He loves the way they taste, but hates the way they always want to trample him into dust. So with that in mind, here is his exciting 2006 Mutton Bustin’ ride. All 5 seconds or so of it.
