A Little Love on Valentines’ Day

February 14, 2008 By jbb Leave a Comment

While others were making special plans to be with their loved ones, I was lusting after a petite little thing spinning around in a store window.

A Little Celebratory Bloodshed

February 11, 2008 By jbb Leave a Comment

Finally finished the last 16-overdue-yearbook pages and successfully uploaded them to the vendor. That took the whole friggin’ day. After getting several “proxy error” messages, possibly connected with my DSL account changes, I decided to go to the coffee shop in my local Borders and use my OLPC-provided T-mobile account to upload the pages.

For the Love of Gadgets

February 2, 2008 By jbb 1 Comment

Is it a bad sign that one of the reasons I’m “still in the game” is my love of gadgets and my investment in Bible software? That’s probably not a good thing. Church attendance for moi for the past two months has been pretty much non-existent but part of me was encouraged to go back [...]
