  You know, when a Facebook add ad (please see comments) is trying to get you to click through by playing on your sensitivity about your smartness… the authors of the add ad (ditto) should really pay attention to their grammar. (Mine isn’t perfect, but I’m not trying to get money out of you either.) [...]

It’s 1 p.m. on Friday. I had trouble deciding on which beer to get so I got two; I know you guys understand. My camera seemed to be malfunctioning and I was starting to get up while saying “Is something wrong.” Naturally, that’s when it snapped. Still… wouldn’t you rather be in an airport, drinking [...]

It occurred to me, after the last post, that letting storage get critically low does not say good things about me. What I failed to mention was I’d recently moved gigs and gigs of non-critical files off the server only to have gigs and gigs of new stuff appear in pretty short order. I’d done [...]

What does the following image tell you about my file and print server? You’ll want to direct your attention to Network Drives. (You can click on it if you want to make it bigger.) You may notice I’ve named the server after Amanda Tapping’s character on Stargate SG1. Simply because she’s a cutie. Then you [...]

For my cycling friends: This isn’t really something I forgot to mention, I just wanted to say I pedaled into work this morning in 36F (2.2C) temps. And it was dark. And all I had on were bibs. (No, I was bundled up.) Oh, and snow flurries are falling as I type. This, I forgot [...]

I was on the bicycle today going down Truman Blvd – it’s two lanes each way with bonus lanes for turning left and right. As I approached a red light I checked traffic behind me and noticed two full-sized pickups in my lane (the curb lane) and far enough back that I had plenty of [...]

There are times when I think I’m a pretty smart guy. And lucky. And a good worker. And a damned delight to be around. Given all of this there are times when the things that go on around me can only be explained as if I’m working off a curse or through some bad Karma. [...]

It was very nice. Dinner was rather informal. The movie was entertaining and since it was at Movie Tavern I was able to have a beer with my chicken nachos (I decided against a salad). Everything went well, I think. Things were very comfortable right up until it seemed like there might be some kissing. [...]

[I seem to have a new love interest. In as much as WADLL is all about helping people I thought I’d demonstrate proper wooing technique. This is my reply to a letter I received from a woman who just can’t seem to get enough of yours truly. Her most recent mail follows at the bottom. [...]

I believe the announcer says this was in St. Clairsville, Ohio. My favorite quote comes from the lady who is afraid Obama might treat whites the same way whites have treated blacks for as long as I’ve been alive.  Technorati Tags: Ohio,Obama,Palin,Racism
