Let me start this by saying up front that I have used an iPhone for about 10 minutes, and that was to send someone’s pictures to a website for them. So, I’m not going to get into how great it is. I do own an iPod Touch, and I will state for the record that [...]
(This is a reposting of an article I wrote for a podcast I co-hosted, once upon a time.)
Let me preface this entry by saying that I like to wear jeans and t-shirts as much as the next guy. Generally speaking, my wardrobe consists of more dark color than a black hole. And we all know [...]
So, it appears that the company I work for, which is otherwise a fairly sane and sensible collection of folks, has decided to “go green”. Now, don’t get me wrong. I think we should all have some sense of stewardship for the planet, some sense of ecological responsibility.
I must confess though, this news from my [...]

28 years ago today, John Lennon was killed. I was nine years old.
My father is a HUGE Beatle’s fan, and consequently, I was raised listening to them. I remember being devastated and confused when I heard it on the radio. I couldn’t understand why someone would want [...]
Reading my morning updates on Digg, I ran across this gem from XKCD (a web comic I generally love like any other card carrying geek):
May I humbly suggest taking advantage of the legal alternatives to piracy like eMusic or Amazon’s MP3 Store?
Specifically, my cat pisses me off.
This is comfortable cat position number 3. It’s the one where the cat stops walking and falls down into what looks like an insanely comfortable position.
Lots of people hate cats. I don’t hate them per se, I’m just really annoyed that no matter what position a cat is in, it’s [...]
Bill (you’ll know if you’re the Bill Stallings I’m tallking to),
