Unbelievably McCain is ahead of Obama in some polls. I have given up arguing this; if I find idiots who support McCain I simply start chanting "8 more years, 8 more years!"

I am trying to log into my frequent flyer account with SAS. I cannot recall what my username is. I use two for the most part; usually one or the other will work. But sometimes they are already taken or for some inane, pathetically stupid reason the site requires numbers, characters, etc. in the username. […]

I came across Conway’s Law on a blog post from Global Nerdy. The law says “any piece of software reflects the organizational structure that produced it. This cracked me up for some obvious reasons.

Update July 23rd: amazingly enough I had Conway’s Law quoted to me in a meeting […]

Like many people I used Google’s search engine and a few other services. Some of the services are wonderful (GMail), some are pretty sad (Froogle). Some are just downright terrible.
I’ve decided to keep track of these moments. Full disclosure that I once interviewed for a job with Google. For reasons I am still trying to […]

Lovely woman driving home on the lake road today. She tailgated me the whole way down the road. At one point she went to pass. Of course this is a double-yellow, no-passing zone. I waved an arm out the window and continued with a one-finger salutation. She then sped up and neared my bumper at […]

Loads to get catch up on. First, exercise: pretty poor week but I expected that. I will basically do last week’s workouts this week although I have already missed Monday due to jet lag.
Second, let me say that I have a deep and abiding hatred for a Swiss Air counter person, last name something like […]

Loads of […]

SI.com - 2006 NFL Playoffs - Cowboys blown FG keeps Seahawks alive - Sunday January 7, 2007 3:18AM
I’m as happy as anyone the Hawks beat Dallas last night. I was at the game and yelling as loudly as anyone. The last playoff game I attended was in 1984, that’s quite a dry spell. But look… […]

One thing is for sure… I need to lose weight. Losing weight would help me ski better. It would improve my running speed. It would allow me to climb better on the bike. Oh yeah, it would also make me a healthier person.
My first New Year’s Resolution then is to lose weight. This morning I […]

SAS Christmas Calendar 2006
Not quite sure where Gdansk is. I would look this up and find interesting facts but due to the storm last week we are still without a decent internet connection. I have my mobile phone hooked up to my laptop and it gets, in theory, a 230.4 kbps connection. Of course it […]
