Barbara and the piercing ignorant column

September 27th, 2005 · No Comments

Today, my gut […]

I can thank John Scalzi’s Whatever post about a book by his friend.
I read Peeps over the weekend and must say it is a thoroughly enjoyable book. It was written in a very conversational style that lent itself to a being a very very fast read. The book was particularly interesting in the […]

The Sudoku Craze!

September 23rd, 2005 · No Comments

The Trib has a little write-up on the sudoku phenomenon. The Trib mentioned the pay site sudoku.com, but personally I prefer to play at websudoku.com, as it is free. It also has a timer and can show you how you rank against other people on the same difficulty level puzzle. uber addicting!

No Kissing!

September 22nd, 2005 · No Comments

The glimmer and glint of the young professional

September 19th, 2005 · No Comments

When I ride the train I thoroughly enjoy people-watching. Its actually a favorite pastime of mine. I like to just sit there and observe, or in this mornings case, stand there, and observe. I like to see peoples body language, where their eyes are looking, comparing their actual voice, to the voice […]

Some post-trip analysis

September 15th, 2005 · No Comments

Justin has a pretty good roundup of the Baton Rouge trip. Its pretty detailed, and with the exception of the River Center, I was with him about the whole time.
I also got some pictures from Dale and Company in my email this morning. I’ll hopefully find some time today to get them posted.
