  • Expense This

    I decided it was time for a little hardware upgrade for my current setup. 19″ LCD Flat Panel Monitor with 8ms response time Netgear GS108 8-port Gigabit Switch Seagate 200GB Harddrive with 8MB of cache and 7200 RPM You may say, these seem fairly superficial. I may say yes, but here’s why. The monitor I…

  • Siete De Mayo

    We had a Siete de Mayo party on Saturday. We rented a hall and invited everyone we knew. It was $20 to get in and a complimentary raffle ticket. I bought another $20 worth of tickets. (5 more tickets) The raffle was crazy. Prizes included a signed Tom Brady Patriots football jersey, a tivoli desk…

  • Convention Season!

    Its that time of the year again. AnimeBoston2005 is this weekend. I registered last night. The lines were a little long, but because I didn’t pre-register my line was much shorter (oh the irony).

  • Recovering from the sickness

    Went to work on Thursday and Friday. Thursday started off with me getting shampoo in my eye…yeah, I’m pretty sure that was the highlight of my day. Friday was slow but I felt a bit better.

  • Weekend Recap

    Sam was up this weekend. We (Peggy and I) took Sam around the city and other typical new england sites. I never knew the candlepin bowling was only a new england thing. Newbury comics was a wicked good time. And Sam bore witness to the hate train. Yesterday was Sam’s last day, but I got…

  • Firefox Death Pool extension

    There’s a new firefox extension in town. The Terri Schiavo Status Bar extension. This should be easily modified for anyone participating in an office death pool. If I were in one, I’d totally have dibs on the pope.
