Warehouse 13
On Tuesday, Syfi (here lie the old Sci-Fi Channel) premiered a new sci-fi series named Warehouse 13. From what I saw, it was a mash-up of Men in Black meets the big warehouse at the end of Raiders of the … Continue reading
A moment of silence for my Atlanta Bread Company
Whether it be a vacation day, or more likely a working from home day, a secret pleasure of mine is to get lunch at our local Atlanta Bread Company. It’s a pretty nice place. Excellent sandwiches and soups, nice clean … Continue reading
Good news – no interruptions of phone, internet, or TV!
I may start one of those counters similar to those on construction sites recording how many days since the last workplace accident, except tracking outages. We’re officially at “2 days since our last Verizon outage.” 🙂 When the service is … Continue reading

Does anyone celebrate July 4th with fireworks ON July 4th?
Yeesh. The blog title asks the right question. Does anyone celebrate July 4th with actual fireworks on the ACTUAL 4th of July? Here we are on July 4, 2009, and we can’t find any fireworks celebrations. They’re on July 2, … Continue reading
There is going to be a Last Airbender movie?
I never really watched the show, but I’ve caught an episode or two. My friends Paul and Doug are into it. I had no idea they were making a live-action film, and directed by M. Night Shyamalan. Oh man, I … Continue reading
