Lately on the radio, I’ve been hearing what are probably 60-second ad spots for NBC’s fall prime time lineup. It consists of one femaile and two male voices that somehow just sound young and hip. The voices spend 60 seconds just jabbering about what’s on tonight on NBC in an exceptionally casual way. They comment [...]

On my vacation, I’ve come up with more stuff to do than I’ve actually finished, so I think I’m technically more behind on the stuff that I’m staying home to get caught up on. But I’m having fun falling doing it.

[Yes, the asterisk in the title for this blog is really really stupid. Apparently, MSN Spaces considers the word "cockpit" a prohibited word, but only in the title. Sigh.] Yesterday, Jennifer and I took our friend Arthur on a flight around the area. At one point, we decided to do some landings and takeoffs at [...]

I’m a little behind on blogging. For example, I really want to finish writing up the Mooncurser’s Handbook Game, but I’ve been swamped at work for the last couple of weeks trying to get the MSN Search feature that I work on out for an internal alpha test. I finally finished that up on Friday, [...]

The other day, I saw what I believe was a cop pulling a somewhat dirty trick. There’s an intersection (NE 51st St. and 148th Ave., for those familiar with the area) with a dedicated right turn lane that gets a right turn arrow when the cross traffic has a left turn arrow. This trains drivers [...]

Some of them are hard! (Use comments to point out particularly good/fun/difficult/whatever puzzles from this collection or any others–I’ve gotten us started.)

Y’know, even more than being able to assign a particular ring tone to each caller, I wish I could have my cell phone play a random ring tone from its library for each call. That way, I’d get a wider range of ring tone experiences, and the distribution would no longer be at the mercy [...]

I recently replaced my Samsung i700 with a Samsung i730. Verizon’s network continues to treat me well, except at work and at home. Oh, wait. Their reception is crap in the places that I spend 95% of my time. But at least when I’m hiking up to Melakwa Lake on Mt. Denny, I can phone [...]
