Week 29 of NHL 2005-6

Posted on April 28, 2006 by Steve

A very, very belated NHL tirade this week. Other stories were more pressing and I was just reeling over my team’s humiliating 8-2 spanking from Buffalo. My dude in goal Robert Esche had a horrendous game two when he gave … Continue reading →

First AppleCare Excellence Award in years

Posted on April 27, 2006 by Steve

Yesterday I was pleasantly surprised with an AppleCare Excellence Award for doing a really impressive (to the customer) job helping an IT consultant back in February. My evil twin must’ve come to work that day. Seriously though, I don’t really … Continue reading →

Democracy (In)Action or mini C-Span

Posted on April 27, 2006 by Steve

Tuesday night I finally went to my first homeowners’ association meeting after living in Sarah’s Creek (my ‘burb’s name) for five years. I hadn’t attended in the past because they were always scheduled when I was working later shifts or … Continue reading →

Continue with your plans for May

Posted on April 27, 2006 by Steve

I was checking out Dr. Plait’s Bad Astronomy site earlier and saw that he had to debunk another false alarm about a comet hitting the Earth in May. I hadn’t been to his site for a while because his clarification … Continue reading →

Operation Teeth, Part Two

Posted on April 26, 2006 by Steve

Stage two of my dental work was completed yesterday. I would’ve posted the pictures then but Monday was rather crazy due to errands with Somara, my selfishness at the mall and then Tuesday’s fun (see “Democracy Inaction” story in Headlines). At … Continue reading →

Poor stray kitty

Posted on April 23, 2006 by Steve

I’m feeling somewhat better. I probably need to see a doctor for my two weeks of sniffling, hacking and constant nose blowing. At least I am well enough to function at work and around the house.    I did have … Continue reading →

Thunder Storm Fun

Posted on April 21, 2006 by Steve

Picayune went down last night around 2-3 am and I got it back up by 7 am thanks to a thunder storm (or maybe a series of them). I doubt anyone was looking at this site in the middle of the … Continue reading →

Week 28 of NHL 2005-6

Posted on April 19, 2006 by Steve

I decided to wait until the regular season was officially over last night to post my diatribe over hockey, plus I’m still under the weather (can’t seem to shake the coughing part, but I do feel somewhat better today).    … Continue reading →

Freebirds

Posted on April 15, 2006 by Steve

Before Chipotle came along, there was Freebirds, the original burrito restaurant chain for us in Austin. It’s another local chain or place that I really enjoy but it originated in College Station, TX (the anti-Austin), thus it’s not in the Austintatious category.  … Continue reading →
