There comes a time in the course of a computer geek's computing that he (or she) realizes that upgrading has been put off for WAY too long. That time came the other night as the desktop started choking on HD episodes of Lost, sputtering to a halt as it struggled to find enough CPU power […]

An article recently published in the Salt Lake Tribune comes as further evidence that Millcreek is playing a game of "look out for number one" at the expense of other townships. It seems that the township considers incorporation or annexation as an eventuality rather than something that can be stayed with either scenario resulting […]

When the vast majority of your co-workers think you're "Most Likely to Go Postal", it's a bad idea to joke about bringing in an AK-47. Just sayin'.

We're not done yet. It's taking forever and we still don't have the ability to use the stove/oven or sink. But we just dropped the sink in tonight and doesn't it look so pretty with the counter top? My neighbor, Rick, was over tonight helping and described the sink as "hot". I'm not sure I've […]

Stallman, a founding figure of the free software movement, decided to end a short article about the recent earthquake in Peru with a bizarre nonsequitur paragraph attacking religious belief. With no warning whatsoever, he launches into the following:
I read that […]

A voice mail is not the place to start monologuing. Leaving me a 2-minute message to say what could be said in 20 seconds means it'll take that much longer for me to call you back (plus the time to ridicule you on my blog).

The trip to Home Despot is often enough to make me drag my heels for weeks on basic home improvement tasks. It's usually too crowded, nobody useful works there, nothing is labeled. I suppose if you're a elbow-throwing contractor that knows what he's looking for, that might not be so bad. For a neophyte like […]

So… many more pieces of counter just spontaneously fell off . And then the counter turned into the giant scab on your arm that you just can't leave alone. I picked at it and picked at it… until this happened:

Last night, Jesse and I checked out a restaurant we've heard some good things about: Royal India . It's in Sandy in the same shopping center as Smith's. I was a little reluctant at first because it's one of those strip mall restaurants. And from the outside, there's nothing remotely remarkable about it.
