I'm just waiting for the day where the phrase "pull a Diebold" comes into common usage to mean "produce a product of laughable quality and pretend not to know it". Their electronic voting machines have been the target of nothing but criticism for their inaccuracy, hackability and lack of a paper trail. Now comes a […]

Remember how I ranted and raved about how UTOPIA was a Good Thing(TM) and me not having it was a Bad Thing(TM)? Well… I up and decided to start something over it. Yep, I registered and setup FreeUTOPIA.org to try and get the law changed so I can enjoy that sweet broadband goodness. Right […]

When you're LDS and live outside of Utah, you always hear about "Utah Mormons". Most of what you hear isn't very flattering either. Based on their descriptions, Utah Mormons are exclusionary gossiping backstabbers who wouldn't give you the time of day. This doesn't sound like the kind of people you'd want to hang around or […]

Turkey Tetrazzini is something my mom used to make all the time. It's a Southern spaghetti casserole with turkey (duh), mushrooms, and lots of cheese. It's a good comfort food and not a bad way to get rid of Thanksgiving leftovers. (In case you were wondering, yes, I did use turkey from last Thanksgiving in […]

Due to some odd server glitch on our side, e-mail notifications of updates were not going out like they were supposed to. Those of you who are subscribed have probably already figured out that it's fixed now. Kudos to the wonderful wpPHPMailer plugin for Wordpress that allowed me to use Comcast's server while […]

So on Sunday at the end of Sunday School, Jesse got up to leave (I get to stay because it's in the Relief Society room). The positioning of the chairs doesn't leave a whole lot of room so as he's scooting by me, he's nearly sitting on my lap. I may or may not have […]

We went to a ward luau last night (yes, with a whole roasted pig), and this was the only thing I could think of.
WPvideo 1.10
Luau!
Download!
By the way, it took about 20 minutes to figure out how to make the video show up, so I expect some "ooohs" and "ahhhs".

There's a few rules about pranks. One, don't give the prankee plenty of unfettered access to your cubicle by leaving early on a slow Friday. Two, make sure the prankee can't think of pranks to play. And third, make sure the prankee isn't all about upping the stakes to the point where you can't do […]

Looks like the Goshute nuclear dump isn't gonna happen. In the famous words of Nelson Muntz, "HA ha!" This is a big win for Utah specifically and the West in general.
Having lived in Nevada for 14 years under the looming spectre of Yucca Mountain, I'm pretty familiar with how the federal government in conjunction […]

You know he had it coming. BYU cites concern about "the increasingly speculative and accusatory nature of these statements by Dr. Jones." Well yeah. If I were BYU, I'd be very concerned about a publicity hound like that bringing all of this negative attention to the school. It's one thing to come up with some […]
