With July 4th falling on a Wednesday, SWMBO and I are taking off Thursday and Friday as well. We’ll head over to West Virginia on the 4th, and visit one of SWMBO’s retired co-workers and her husband. We’ll eat their barbeque, drink their beer, and spend the night. Then we’ll roll homeward [...]

I write from time to time about our son Ryan, who died long before his time as far as SWMBO and I are concerned. We always called him Buddy. Our church had a long-standing custom where congregants could purchase an Easter lily, fill out an “In Memory of ..” form, and have it [...]
In my unabashed geek glee in seeing my first post from my new laptop appear on the interweb, I neglected to provide linkage to all the items that make up this cool little laptop. So, here goes:
The hardware: Toshiba Satellite A135-S4527.
The OS: Fedora 7. 1
The wireless drivers for the on-board Atheros wireless: MadWiFi. [...]
June 26, 2006 was the day I learned of the death of the legendary blogger Rob Smith, the Acidman. I read his blog always, commented a few times, and grew quite fond of the crusty old guy, even though we never met. His blog is still up; it was his wish that it [...]
Strangely, it looks like my old Razr. And it will look exactly like my old Razr until Verizon’s “New after Two” plan kicks in on 1/7/2008. Then the Razr will look like something else altogether. And I won’t have to camp out to effect the transformation.

If you see this, you’re reading my first post from my new Fedora-powered Toshiba Laptop. My old Sony Vaio, at age 8, was getting pretty long of tooth, and short on memory, disk, and everything else that makes a computer a computer.
I got the wireless card working, thanks to the MadWifi folks, and am [...]
The car/driver/channel matchups for today’s running of the Toyota/Save Mart 350 from Infineon Raceway in Sonoma CA look like this:
#2-Kurt Busch, 795
#60-Boris Said, 796
#20-Tony Stewart, 797
#7-Robby Gordon, 798
#42-Juan Pablo Montoya, 799
Since this race is on a road course, it’s fitting that Boris Said and Robby Gordon are in the driver lineup. They can both [...]
I was a college math major, specifically a statistics major. I’ve pored over books, wrote on reams of paper, and consumed gallons of coffee in pursuit of mathematical enlightenment. Yet, I never came across something as brilliantly insightful as this, forwarded by my Brown City Michigan interweb jokester buddy:
If I’d grasped this simple [...]
I haven’t been to a rodeo in years; I used to watch rodeo on TNN, in its pre-Spike TV days, or whatever it is now. I guess my casual rodeo-watching, along with my love of classic country music, made me aware of the name Jim Shoulders. Every time his name was mentioned on [...]
