Finished up getting the remaining bits of my costume together last night. So now I have an orange jump suit that says “Death Row” on the front, professional grade leg irons with 15″ chain, bandana, dangly cross earing, fake tattoos.
I also hacked on WoodPusher a bit last night. I’ve now got [...]
After work I went to buy a halloween costume. I’m going to be a deathrow inmate. I’ve got the orange jumpsuit. Just need some handcuffs. On the way out I dropped my cellphone and broke it. Well I can still send and receive calls, but the display doesn’t work at [...]
Now I can drag and drop pieces on the board. When dropped the piece is centered properly in the square. So I can almost play a game of chess with myself:

I went to Mary Ellen’s wedding last night. Never been to Catholic mass before, so it was an interesting experience. At any rate, check out the pics.
Also, we’ve got some previously unpublished pictures from the weekend at the cabin that you’ll want to see.
Adam added topic icons to his blog [...]
Lori stayed at my place last night as she has an interview at SLU today. Good luck, Lori!
Also, Amy now has a blog.
I just got a call from my sister. She’s going to have a baby. Congratulations, Tommy and Lauren!
I took the day off work today. But it was no vacation. This morning I went to Missouri Baptist Hospital where I got some bloodwork and an upper-GI. I nearly passed out while the nurse was drawing blood. I think she took 3 or 4 tubes and had a bit of [...]
