Feels Like Home Already

Just arrived in Orlando. Only open eating establishment: Hooters. Damn. I feel like I’m home ( x )( x ) “Suffering the slings & arrows of outrageous misfortune.” Technorati Tags: beer, florida, love, lust, girls, travel

Safely Arrived in Baton Rouge

After an incredible 31-hours on the road straight from Prescott AZ, Matt & I arrived in Baton Rouge this afternoon. You can follow along on our journey at http://twitter.com/jbb where I post little 140-character snippets of what’s going on from my phone and where we are at. You can also view posted photos from the [...]

Bye Bye Long Beach, Bye Bye So Cal…

longbeach-skyline

Friends for the past few weeks have been asking me how I’m doing. And my usual response has been that I’m keeping everything on as even a keel as possible because with as much as I need to do with as little time as I have to do it, I can’t afford to fall apart [...]

No Time for Good-Byes

sissy-stager-moi

A friend I was supposed to see this weekend just cancelled. I hadn’t heard from her and that naturally led me to anticipate some complication. I hate being right. I mean, in “normal times” my friends and I rarely have the time just to visit. Truth be told, it’s usually some conference that brings us [...]

You Picked a Fine Time to Leave Me, Loose Wheel

I don’t know what the hell is going on. About two-weeks ago, just after I decided to not tow my cute burnt-copper-colored Scion behind a U-haul and instead drive the beastie all the way to Florida, it developed a difficult to diagnose slow leak in the rear-passenger-side tire. I had a full-load of Snapples and [...]

Another General “Status” Message

Friends & Family, I’m not really sure where to begin this particular status report, as I sit in my local In-n-Out Burger watching the rain come down outside. First, I want to apologize to those whom I haven’t been able to send a more personal communication with, and that you’re getting this info in another [...]

Breakin’ Up the Family

Back in December, in an effort to Simplify, I reduced my computer set-up to two computers and created two “new” PCs from the remaining parts, one for Juls and one for my son. Well, “remaining” isn’t quite right, ’cause I still had cases, motherboards and various bits for four PCs and one Mac G4. So [...]

Long Goodbyes

adios-juls

One of the more difficult and awkward aspects of my move to Florida is getting together, probably one last time, with friends to say Good-bye. Part of this reminds me of the generally over-hyped “Last Tour” shows put on by 70s & 80s bands that no one really listens to anymore. I can also detect [...]

Tinkering w/ my OLPC, Part II

I decided to bring along the OLPC on this trip and try to use it again after previous connection failures (I still haven’t gotten the WPA upgrade to work… ack). The keyboard is a tad too small for true touch typing and a bit mushy too. If I had a kid with the slightest interest [...]
