Here’s the nitty gritty, the grimy…the gutter. I am back on my engineering grind, living the glamourless life in Hearne, TX. As has become expected of me the last few months, I’ve been a bit AWOL from this site. I’m sure you folks out there have become accustomed to it. Like I always vow and [...]
Franklin, TX. Pop. 1470. Here I am writing to you cats from the city of College Station, TX (home to Texas A&M University). Every morning and afternoon, I drive an hour to and from my Homehood Suites in College Station to the power plant in Franklin, TX. Word on the street was that I was [...]
So, I’m gonna shoot you cats a heads up on my imminent (but temporary) absence from blogging on this site. I’m gonna try to teach myself enough about web design as I can for the next two weeks or so. Hopefully, after I’m done stumbling around intoxicated with a haphazard knowledge of CSS, PHP, and [...]
Por fin. I am tantalizingly close to finishing up my PVR (Personal Video Recorder) project. It’s taken two fortnights to get to this point (3 weeks longer than expected), but I am nearly done. All that’s left to be done are a few minor tweaks. I will post an informational write-up sometime in the next [...]
Alimony is a bitch! I’m like a deadbeat daddy infrequently visiting his offspring. This site has become my bastard child. I’m increasingly neglecting this bad boy each passing month. I’m raising my hand and accepting full responsibility for my negligence. To be frank and honest, another “project” has swallowed up my free time. That project, [...]
3 words. Ay. Yi. Yi. A-Rod…A-Fraud…(shaking my head)…A-Roid… What in the Blue Moon were you thinking? The Juice Bar (aka Major League Baseball) unfortunately failed to disappoint…again. So, the one hope we had of a “clean” player that “did things right” erasing Barry Bonds hold on the all-time home-run record is grimy too? Cheating like [...]
Now that I’ve had a week to reflect on the Super Bowl and the euphoric aftermath, I’ve been able to gain legitimately relevant perspective on it’s place in history. The greatest Super Bowl? That is a tough sell, mon frere. It is still too early to say that. But…what I can say…is that it was [...]
What a chill ass weekend I’ve had. It’s funny how a weekend of monotony and inactivity can rejuvenate you. Laziness was feeding me grapes in a bikini while I relaxed on my couch noshing on faux-beef fajitas and sippin’ on soda pop. After catching an episode of Entourage on HBO this past Friday, I figured [...]
For the time being, I’ve retired the title “The Beast” and have officially dubbed Adam Richman of the Travel Channel’s gluttonous show “Man v. Food” as “The Beast”. They should rename the show to The BEAST v. Food – because that is exactly what it is. The show is about a normal guy who travels [...]
Yo yo yo…just when you thought that I went permanently AWOL….I’M BACK!!! I was able to miraculously avoid posting a unsavory squadoosh in the post department last month (I somehow ended up writing 1 post). December was quite a hectic couple of fortnights. I broke my pledge of allegiance to this blog. I neglected it…but [...]
