Watering
Wednesday, October 24th, 2007It rained today, so I took my avacado tree out for watering... A cold front about 2 weeks ago scared me enough to move all my plants in off the back porch, and my tree looked pretty dusty, so I took it out. The plants are doing well inside, although ...
Gore Shares Nobel Peace Prize
Friday, October 12th, 2007This doesn't even make any sense. Here's to the next person who joins Le Duc Tho in declining the Peace prize.
There’s Something In my Garden
Monday, October 1st, 2007Notice anything? How about here? How did you get there?
Gmail?
Wednesday, September 5th, 2007Am I the only one having trouble sending mail with gmail recently? In Safari and Firefox both, I push send, get a "loading" indicator, and then usually nothing else happens. If I push "stop" and then "send" once more, the message sometimes sends right away... I just hope I'm not sending these ...
Sudden Loss of Hard Drive Space, Mac OS X
Monday, August 13th, 2007If you recently lost about 10GB of hard drive space on your Mac, it may be because the iDisk just increased it's size (up to 10 GB). If you would like to get this space back, turn off "iDisk Syncing" under the iDisk tab in the .Mac preference pane. The ...
Organic Rice
Tuesday, August 7th, 2007I went to a wedding in Avon Connecticut this weekend. The groom was a great guy named Robbie I have known since I was 3. I got to talk to all sorts of interesting people about topics ranging from St. John's College to entomology. Robbie's mom is an entomologist who works ...
Inconvenient Truth for Ethanol:
Wednesday, July 18th, 2007According to Science Daily, 1 unit of energy from ethanol costs 6 units to produce.
Safari 3.0 Beta (Now for XP and Vista!)
Monday, June 11th, 2007I'm trying it out... (Get it here) Nice to see Google's applications working. The one thing that would be nice is "Open all tabs in current window" You can do it (about 99% of the time) with some plugin I picked up somewhere, but I don't like those plugins. The weirdest thing ...
Competition
Sunday, April 29th, 2007Yesterday was the first time in a while that I've been shoved, cursed at, and verbally threatened (albeit in the third person) in a long time. I just came back from SJC last weekend thinking "Well, maybe rainbow soccer is less intense than St. John's was." I guess I was ...
Chick-Fil-a
Tuesday, April 17th, 2007I got a t-shirt the other day from the local Chick-Fil-a that lets me get a free chicken sandwich or 8-piece nuggets every time I go to that store with that shirt on (Until December 31st). I'm gonna be eating me some Chick-Fil-a this year.
Seasons
Thursday, April 12th, 2007A couple of weeks ago, you couldn't go outside without seeing a car buried in yellow stuff the locals like to call pollen. I expected to pretty much die, but I didn't even need to take a generic brand anti-histamine. Now the cars are clean (thanks to a rain storm) ...
Book of Nehemiah Speed Reading
Monday, March 26th, 2007I got two hits from Google from people(a person?) searching for "book of nehemiah speed reading." I'll give you a hint: It's 13 chapters! Just read it!
Anagram
Sunday, January 7th, 2007Interestingly enough, without the vowels "Thomas" provides, there aren't any anagrams for my name. (At least according to the internet anagram server.)
Wha? Huh?
Wednesday, October 18th, 2006The resolution calls for North Korea to abandon its nuclear arms program and demands that its negotiators return to the six-party talks. If not, North Korea will face an embargo on heavy weapons systems... From Washington Times Um... why isn't there already an embargo on heavy weapons systems? I'm assuming, now that ...
Let’s Break It Down, Shall We?
Wednesday, October 11th, 2006I saw this online somewhere: a religion that doesn't preach tolerance for all is evil and immoral themselves... Is it just me or does that sound kind of intolerant towards evil and immorality? If you don't agree with me there, you have to agree that this statement is intolerant towards that "religion that ...
North Carolina hates blind people…
Monday, September 11th, 2006...or else they must not have mockingbirds. (Author's Note: This is a bunch of wild speculation with even wilder conclusions... Don't get on to me, I learned it from reading too much "news".) So, I've been hearing this bird-ish sound occasionally when stopped at stoplights as I go about my daily business. ...
Washed and Dried
Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006Takes a lickin (put through the washer and dryer) and keeps on tickin (still works when I plug it into my iPod)
Toast vs. Finder
Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006I've burned lots of disks with Toast (versions 5-7) and got quite a few media errors, proportionately more in DVD's than CD's. I've burned about 5 DVD's tonight from the Finder and haven't had a problem yet. So... Toast = better at detecting errors & Finder = poor quality control or Toast ...
