At least one thing I'm about 8 weeks and 100 posts overdue talking about
I don't really post much anymore, but I wouldn't say I'm entirely absent either. I've been long past the time when I should be updating about things that have been going on in life. Work's not so crazy anymore, but neither is it necessarily going great. That's not really news, though ( Read more... ) -
Fantasy Football Week 2
I'm 2-0 in both of the leagues I'm in - 2nd place in the "big" money league and 1st place in the superfun 8-team league. Something I've learned these last two years is that playing in a highly competitive league with 8 teams and tons of roster spots should be mandatory for all fantasy football fans. Last year I put in (I'm the dictatorial commish ( Read more... ) -
Fantasy Football begins again - 2010
I think last year I said I was going to crosspost things I put up on the Yahoo! board with fantasy football, and then I never did it. Mostly that was because I didn't want to take the time to explain inside jokes or explain who the 11 other people I was playing against were in livejournal. Actually, that's not even the whole story, I think mostly ( Read more... ) -
Girls go to college to get more knowledge...
A recent conversation in the house of W:
Emily: I sent an email to Daddy.
Rob: An email? What does it say?
Emily: It says he can’t go to Atlanta.
Lissa: Why can’t Daddy go to Atlanta?
Emily: Because he’s a boy. He has to go to Jupiter.
Ouch.

Any news is good news
Good news! I got promoted. Technically, this is a move back to my original position with the company - and to make a long story short, when the company started to go down with the economy two years ago, I moved to operations...in effect, a demotion... to help keep the local office afloat (and myself employed). A few things have changed since I ( Read more... ) -
Splitting the Atom - The Nukes Post
I think if fusion power comes in our near future, perhaps even my lifetime, it would be one of the greatest world-changing events to ever happen. Unfortunately, tokamak has been in existence for more than fifty years with no appreciable success in solving our energy problems. There is a push to construct a larger fusion reactor, called the ITER, ( Read more... ) -
Fantasy Football League 2 - Fear My Hamster
On Thursday, my company held our annual office football draft. Due to some workplace defections and selective attrition, we've cut the league down to 8 teams. Since you have so many fewer people playing, it makes more sense to have more starters and more spaces on each team. In this case, the league requires starting 2 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 WR/RB, 1 TE ( Read more... ) -
Fantasy Football League 1 - The Paper Tigers
For those that love to obsess over fantasy football, it's that time of year again. The time to make inappropriate offensive comments about your friends and for grown men to play a complicated game of "Gotta Catch 'Em All!" The first week of September is the final week of millions of people claming that "OMFSM, I really did draft the best group of ( Read more... ) -
Well that's odd
Out of curiosity, am I the only person that's getting an icon of two guys on a beach when I click "Friends Page" at the top of my page, or select http://wyrrlen.livejournal.com/friends ? I tried other user names to see if I could see their friend lists, and I could, so I'm somewhat perplexed as to what is happening.
EDIT TO UPDATE: And then ( Read more... ) -
Health Care (prompted by The Ferrett)
I made the following comment to theferrett earlier today:
I think your premise is right, but I'd rather you went with a different conclusion to your argument. Namely, we already have bureaucrats now, so Let's work to remove bureaucrats from our health care! I often have said that I'm a supporter of single-payer insurance, but the more I look at it, the more I ( Read more... )
