I did not have the day off from work today… but I took one anyone, probably because I was feeling black. And perhaps by some unexplained phenomena I donned sporting attire and drove my car aimlessly. At least it seemed aimless… but my hands knew where to steer despite me. I pulled into a place [...]

In the last 8 days I’ve tossed out quotes from the movie Airplane twice. British Transformers have more groove. It may be true that some people in this world are so hungry that they can only see God in the form of bread. When I purchase a new hard drive, the capacity almost religiously increases [...]

Okay, for my non-blogging, non-IT-savvy readers… you may want to only skim this. I just upgraded to WordPress 2.0 and it was painless and fun. I’m still getting used to writing from the new interface. I do lament the loss of a couple plugins I enjoyed… including my spel chekker and my image handler. Update: [...]

Today I attended grammar refresher training put on by The Grammar Group (catchy title, huh?). As I would have predicted, I came out of the class appalled at my mutilation of the English language… only to find solace in the fact that I violate our tongue less than most others, but this is of limited [...]

I recently whipped up a batch of my homemade salsa and I have been asked for the recipe. Having a convenient venue for broadcasts such as this, I will now post the recipe here for any who care. I always appreciate comments and feedback. Steve’s Homemade Salsa Ingredients: Four to five beefsteak tomatoes Four to [...]

I have created a page on this site of recommended dystopias. What is a dystopia you ask? Well… you can either go to the page and find out… or read on. A dystopia can be thought of as the polar opposite of a utopia. A dystopian society is usually depicted as having an authoritarian or [...]

Where to begin… The Patriots won, and that makes me happy. I was able to enjoy the game over Buffalo wings and Corona, and that makes me happy, too. — spontaneous author thought stream incoming — wouldn’t Corona and hot wings be a great name for a blog post? — why does the Corona website [...]

Of course I saw The Chronicles of Narnia and I really enjoyed it. I only read a smattering of the tales as a youngling… and I don’t remember much. Someone told me to read the book before I go see the movie but that violates a very tried and true principle I hold dear: Never [...]

Happy New Year! In lieu of publicly announcing my New Year’s resolutions I think I’ll just wait until the end of the year to report on the ones that I kept… and if I haven’t kept any by then you’ll have forgotten I mentioned this anyway, so I’m set for another Year of the Derelict. [...]

2005 is coming to a close… my relatively new blog (what you’re reading right now) just topped 100,000 hits this month alone… and I’m thinkin’ that any year in the United States is a good year. Sure, to some experiencing tragedy it may not feel fair or seem joyous all of the time… but this [...]
