We got our Arcade PC up and running again. Apparently the joystick controller’s PS2 encoder board died, but Hanaho was quick to send us a replacement and that did the job! Now everybody’s Super Puzzle Fighting it up again! I just got word that my new car rolled off the assembly line and should be…

I drive north on the freeway to get to work in the morning. Above me, airplanes fly east to west as they descend toward LAX. The planes are usually low enough in the air to cast a plane-shaped shadow over the freeway for a split second. Sometimes I find myself smack dab in the center…
This totally pisses me off, and it takes quite a bit to do that nowadays!
I had to make my IRA contribution for 2002 today. Let me just tell you, it hurt like hell. It doesn’t help that they just raised the maximum allowable yearly contribution by $1000 either! I wonder if it’s possible to have IRA contributions deducted directly from your paycheck instead of having to write a huge…
We got one of these for the office about a month ago. Having thousands of playable arcade games in a real arcade cabinet was just too cool to pass up. Super Puzzle Fighter is the current company favorite. Unfortunately the control panel died this morning…The good news is that it’s still under warranty, so we’ll…

You know what? Call waiting, caller ID, and 3-way calling should be standard features on all landline phone service. It’s retarded that you have to pay extra for any of them. Well, I guess I could understand if they wanted to make 3-way calling cost more, but still. Caller ID should be a given.
Saturday night Tammy and I went with Dallas and Vida (friends from work) to see Cheval, an equestrian extravaganza created by one of Cirque du Soleil’s founders. Tammy and Vida are horse girls, so they loved it. Wait, I don’t mean that they are centaurs. They ride horses. Tammy has a horse. (Horses are not…
