Sometimes the ads next to a google query are quite humorous as in this example in which I am googling for my first name to see where my website falls in the list.
You’ve been stumbling round
This tumbleweed town
Like a bird with a broken wing
Walking wounded
Head hanging down
Running like a thief
Since she said that endless goodbye
Still ringing loud in your ears
You’ve been riding freight trains
That never arrive
Traveling your own trail of tears
But even when you’re wandering blind
You are still not lost, my friend
You can run
But you never can [...]
Last night I finished up a patch to the gaim-remote plugin so that I can send aim URIs to set myself away, such as:
gaim-remote uri “aim:goaway?message=having a beer at mcgurks”
Added to that a little procmail recipe with some Perl glue and now I can change my gaim away message from my mobile phone. Also [...]
FELLOWSHIP 9/11 is the new best documentary of the year. Linux users: played well for me using firefox and mplayerplug-in.
So I’m sitting on my couch Saturday night, watching the Cardinals lose to the Dodgers. I wasn’t too bummed: we were up two games in the series and I had confidence in Suppan for Sunday’s game. Lima just pitched a helluva game Saturday. As I’m sitting there, half watching the game, half [...]

But Moore is intolerable, and the distortions, outright lies, and FUD that Kerry supporters (or perhaps more accurately Bush haters) spread [...]

I looked at the various phones that T-Mobile offered, read various reviews, and finally decided on the Samsung e715. I had considered a Sidekick II for a while but decided it was too big and bulky for my tastes. And I decided that I didn’t need [...]
There is a line from a rather bad poem I wrote as a teenager which goes like this:
somnolent i gaze
perceiving the chaos.
lassitude: my only elation,
all i feel is enervation.
There is a line from a poem by Anne Bronte which goes like this:
I have gone backward in the work,
The labour has not sped,
Drowsy and dark my [...]
Micah and Pierce were brilliant on Friday. When I have more time I’ll share some lyrics that hit me.
I played in Ray’s holdem tournament Saturday afternoon. Held out for a while, but ultimately didn’t do well. I hate antes. Give me just the blinds any day.
Saturday evening I went [...]
