One more certification from Apple
Today I passed the certification exam for Apple’s xSAN solution, software, whatever. I did better than I expected too, a 72.6% so I easily passed (the passing grade on this is 62%, still a D- back in school). I thought … Continue reading

Belated Halloween Picture
Well, if Fox got away with showing The Simpsons and their infamous “Treehouse of Horror” episode after Halloween, why can’t I show my quickly whipped together costume. Actually, I only received the photo from my co-workers with the Quality of … Continue reading
Week Four of NHL 2005-06
I can only hope that the officials will grow tired of enforcing all their obstruction/interference penalties. Offense is definitely up thanks to the ridiculous amount of time special teams are getting. Even though the Flyers won against the Senators and … Continue reading

Serenity: If You’ve Got Nothing Better to Do
Let’s face it. All the major science-fiction franchises of the last 30 years are wounded. Star Wars was ruined by three stilted movies directed by its creator. Star Trek is on life support thanks to two mediocre movies and Enterprise … Continue reading

Week Three of NHL 2005-06
Thankfully the week-long break on the Flyers didn’t make them soft when they returned to the ice and face the Leafs in Toronto. At first, it looked like they were going to dilly dally around, give up goals on special … Continue reading

Leisure Suit Larry Returns
Way back in 1987, the original Leisure Suit Larry appeared for personal computers in all its 320 x 240, 256-color glory. I remember it was the first R-rated game that emulated the gross-out/sex comedies of the Eighties. There had been … Continue reading

iTunes 6.0.1
The latest upgrade to Apple’s easiest music playing/ripping/online buying software came out last week but there was a tweaking this week. What the tweaking covered isn’t a big deal, mainly fine tuning is what I could make out from the … Continue reading

Bullseye Dispenser!
Several weeks ago, my friend José and I were counting or spotting how many bullseyes we saw in Las Vegas. For a couple weeks now, I’ve noticied this dispenser at HEB alongside the other trendy junk and candy. You definitely … Continue reading

Week Two of NHL 2005-06
Philly was off to an ugly start with their loss to Toronto that shouldn’t have happened, yet they blew it like their loss to the Rangers. Then they repeated the mistakes against the winless Penguins by surrendering a fantastic lead … Continue reading

It’s official after all the rumors, hearsay and half truths, a decision has been made and a sign posted. The landlord believes that the property is worth more rent despite the highway construction being scheduled for another two years. I … Continue reading

Brett Hull retires
I was rather shocked to catch the news during the Flyers thrashing of the Islanders (finally and is it should be with the line-up) about Brett retiring just five games into the season. He still had another year with his … Continue reading
UT Hockey cancelled, for now
Last night I was all stoked to see the UT Hockey Team play Baylor. It’s a great, cheap entertaining evening. The game is only $5 to see, the rink allows you to bring in your Whataburger food and UT has … Continue reading
