…in need.

I have a tendency to rant (even a category on this site). I can be elitist. Snobby. A know-it-all. My family and friends already know all of this, and it’s their graciousness (and the grace of God) that they remain my friends (family - you’re stuck with me!).
Over the past year [...]

2.1?!?? 2.1!!! Ye-haw!

Aight, this is totally nerdy, but even Mugs can get into this one.
Just noticed an announcement on my site’s WordPress dashboard that they’ve upgraded to version 2.1, and fittingly named the juicy new joint after the finest Jazz vocalist ever to push air through vocal cords, Ella Fitzgerald.
Peep the link to see the new features, [...]

Heroes Returns!

Tonight marks the return of new episodes of Heroes!
I’m totally stoked to see what happens, and what new heroes are discovered.
Woot!

Peyton Manning, Baby!!!

HUZZAH!!!! HUZZAH!!!! HUZZAH!!!!
The Colts staged the largest AFC championship comeback in the history of the NFL! The boys finally beat the Pats, and Peyton Manning finally has a chance to hit the Super Bowl!

I merely hope that someday I can hone my weekly feature into something close to the caliber of “The Non-Expert.”

Ask Dan #9

Q: Why is tortellini shaped so strange?
A: Food question! And Italian food, no less! Way to go, Chris. Let’s see if I can address this in a coherent manner…
After looking into the matter, I’ve discovered that there are several vaguely similar theories creating a a basic mythological story. Essentially, a peeping-Tom [...]

Facebook

You know, a while back, I created a MySpace profile despite many misgivings in a pitiful attempt to drive more traffic here. I haven’t done anything to the page because I haven’t wanted to mess with that. I just wanted it as a means for people to find me, thereby finding my real [...]

And…WEEEEEEEE!!!!!

My boss sent this clip around the office this morning, and I thought it looked supremely awesome:

Blah?

Okay, so an update on the last post is in order.
My review ran to about an hour, rather than the half hour for which it was scheduled. This was a good thing.
I have a great boss, and with that the ability to be very open with him about my job satisfaction and career. [...]
