  • Verizon is Almost Gone

    Well, I’ve switched over my home ISP from Verizon to Comcast. While I had to do a little hackery to get it to work, I am happy to say that all has been successful. Along with my new Comcast account, I have also ordered a Vonage account, and once that is up and running, I […]

  • Sin City

    Sarah and I went to see Sin City tonight with my brother and his new wife. I thought the movie was worth a review.

  • Ubuntu Linux

    I’m currently downloading a torrent of the AMD64 version of Ubuntu Linux for my new laptop. I hate Windows XP (especially the “home” edition), but there are still some issues with Linux and laptops, since a lot of laptop hardware is extremely cutting edge and proprietary.

  • Memorial Day Pig Roast 2005

We will commence the festivities around noon and last year’s party went until around 9pm, and we don’t expect this year […]

  • Heritage Presbytery ‘s PresWIC

I am particularly looking forward to seeing Barbara Thompson again. While we were at the leadership training conference in Atlanta, she and Susan Hunt and I spent time […]

  • Beer Brewing

  • Back in the States

    In case you hadn’t noticed, I’m back in the states. The trips were generally productive, but I’m looking foward to a few 40 hour weeks to relax.

  • Atlantic City

    I went to AC last night with my brother for his bachelor’s party. Had a pretty good time. It’s amazing how dead the streets are at 10:30pm when we arrived, but the Trump Plaza and the Tropicana were packed. I spent about three hours playing Limit Texas Hold ‘Em at the $2/$4 tables… and walked […]
