New TWACage

June 29, 2008 – 7:58 pm

The Twitter is so March, 2008. Check me out on Friend Feed. Yet another doo-dad that I’ll be blaming for not blogging.
Keep ‘em coming!

Like Kissing Your Sister

June 29, 2008 – 7:30 pm

Not that I’d know, seeing that I don’t have a sister. I hate to see rain-shortened NASCAR races, especially when the eventual winner had zero chance to win if it weren’t for the rain. Such was the case today, as Kurt Busch was crowned the winner of the LENOX Industrial Tools 301 at [...]

RIP, Scott Kalitta

June 22, 2008 – 12:20 pm

Scott Kalitta, two-time NHRA Top Fuel Champion, was killed in a qualifying accident yesterday.
I love racing, and always am sad when someone loses his life in any form of the sport. Scott’s father is the legendary racer Connie Kalitta, who I recollect from pictures in drugstore-bought racing magazines from years ago. Television [...]

Back Home

June 22, 2008 – 11:52 am

I planned to post something yesterday, when I was actually safely ensconced back in tbbs WorldHQ. My last “yum update” session brought down the released version of Firefox 3. Thereafter, my Scribe Fire blog plugin would only post the article’s title, sans content.
I deinstalled/reinstalled Scribe Fire, and now write in SF in the [...]

Safely in Boston

June 18, 2008 – 6:48 am

I arrived in Boston safely and on time yesterday. An evening of wining, dining, and socializing followed. Today, it’s off to the Red Hat Summit, where there are so many good sessions being offered in any one time slot that it is difficult to pick one.
Better feast than famine, though. Knowledge is Good.

Only in the District of Columbia …

June 15, 2008 – 1:20 pm

Could one see a headline like this:
4 teens stabbed in northeast Washington after peace festival
At least they weren’t shot; guns are banned in the District. Looks like the ban is working.

Congratulations, James!

June 15, 2008 – 12:20 pm

Via the Evil Genius Chronicles, an update on James Slusher’s run in the WSOP. By the numbers:

James wound up 230th in a field of 2706.
He was knocked out by Bernard Lee, who now leads the tournament event.
Bernard Lee isn’t a newbie at this.
James netted $3,000 for his efforts, not bad [...]

Not Pokin’ Along

June 15, 2008 – 11:02 am

Frequent tbbs commenter and all-round good egg James Slusher is in Las Vegas this weekend, playing in the World Series of Poker Event #27. Via the Evil Genius Chronicles, an update on how he’s doing:
At the last check-in, the field had shrunk from 2700 to 600 and Jim had about an average stack. Something [...]

Lying with the Dogs

June 14, 2008 – 4:27 pm

I’ve griped and groused here on this old blog, and back in my days with the Twitter, about my need to consolidate all my RSS and Atom feeds under one roof, preferably a web-based one.
I tried Gregarius, as detailed here. And it was cool. I was hosting my own feeds. Problem was, I found [...]
