Just announcing that I'm not dead.

May post more to come...may lay off indefinitely again.

Today is the big Buddhist holiday, so thought I'd check in.

Unlike many people, I wanted to serve on a jury. For 40 years, for one reason or another, I was not selecected: I was a police officer, I was an ex-police officer, I knew too much about the case, the jury was empaneled before they got to me...something ( Read more... )

Manny Roller is by far the most acceptable way to listen to Christmas music, IMNSHO. Miles Davis didn't do many Xmas albums. At least Chip Davis has some imagination.

I never even saw the spam. I have very good filters, and whatever gets past Earthlink is quickly deep-sixed by Thunderbird.

Hi there, sports fans!  The only thing I don't like about these LJ clients is that they're written by geeks.  Now, there's nothing wrong with being a geek.  I spent my college years as one, complete with pocket protector and a big old slide rule in a leather case hanging from my belt.  Looked liks a short sword or something ( Read more... )

I'm not doing a real good job of keeping this blog up-to-date.  Part of that is the fact that I keep a written journal, and the impetus to repeat myself is lacking.  Another problem is that after writing a (sometimes) twice-a-week column for Backwash.com and two newsletters (for ditto) I sometimes don't even get as much sleep as I'd like.  Remember ( Read more... )

(I wonder who thought up the name, though!)

Craaazy week.  Nice to be at home for days off.

Having my days off in the middle of the week  was a bit disorienting at first (I have Sunday off as well, so I get to spend some time with my wife.)  After you get used to it, it's convenient.  It's easy to get business done, the laundry room isn't mobbed with weekend washers, people are in when you ( Read more... )

I don't know if any of you readers are using Mozilla's new Firebird browser.  It's neat, clean, lean and has more cool features than you can count.

One of the coolest is this LiveJournal client, Deepest Sender.  It integrates right into the browser, is only a click away, and allows you to do WYSIWYG html right into the journal (as you can see ( Read more... )
