So 2 big things have happened in the past few days regarding the wedding, and if you answered “tuxes” and “limo”, then you were probably with us or I already called you about it (sorry internet - you’re second billing this time).
I picked out the tuxes for the groomsmen & the fathers on Tuesday night. [...]

March 27th, 2007 · No Comments · Photos, life, the kids
Despite everything that happened with Monty two months ago, Eukanuba has impressed me.
I buy Eukanuba food for both Bailey & Monty. A lot of Eukanuba food. $70.00 a month worth of Eukanuba food. In the grand scheme of things my investment is probably nothing to a company that talks of millions of dollars in profits. [...]

March 23rd, 2007 · 2 Comments · How To Annoy Me, the kids
Normally in a rant, I would have plenty of things to say. Right now, it’s probably the shock more than anything that is preventing me from typing as I am absolutely livid about the CNN.com breaking news headline I just received in my email.

Ever wanted to put together a VMware virtual machine host without using windows, but were too intimidated? If you�re like me, you like the idea of using a low overhead OS on your host boxes to maximize the resources available for your virtual machines.

I’m a productive slob. No really!
March 21st, 2007 · 2 Comments · internet, life, random thoughts, whatever
According to a story over at extremetech.com, a new book is out that argues neatness is overrated, costs money, wastes time and quashes creativity.

A not so interesting look at my search habits
March 16th, 2007 · 1 Comment · geekdom, internet, random thoughts, technology, whatever, work
While researching something at work this afternoon with the Google, I happened to pull of a list of my recent searches and was quite amused.

Oh and trogdor.
What the heck [...]
