Tuesday Treo Prelim
Jun 02 2007, 07:25 EDT [updated Jun 02 2007, 09:48 EDT]
The Suburban Achievers went to a 7-0 point victory over the unnamed Team #12. Points are 2 per game won and 1 for overall pin totals. The victory was especially sweet because it was a straight win even without considering handicap.

Server Downtime
May 29 2007, 13:37 EDT [updated May 30 2007, 20:29 EDT]
The machine that runs the blog went down after 550+ days of uptime. It threw a harddisk which shouldn't have mattered because it had a RAID (redundant array of inexpensive disks). Getting it back up and running was a chore.
No modern linux system would

Cleaning out my wallet

Most of the accumulated business cards in my wallet I can place. Some I can't like a card for "Stephen King" who works at Avon. A hand written note I left myself baffled me at first, it reads:

I didn't copy down the numbers but we went to a 5-2 point victory over the "Church of Strikentology." Good times: Lanna, Sam, and Kyle are nice folks and very good bowlers (Kyle included a 257 which looked like "XXXXX9/XX9/XXX9") but we did much better t

I'm looking forward to this, but also fairly sure they'll screw it up.

Legal YouTube

Local news is always a great example of reporting gone squirrely. Tonight's outrage was a YouTube only advertisement for Legal Seafood. The edited-TV-clip bleeped out every other word. This bland clip was probably thought edgy by some Marketeers at Leg

Suburban Achievers: Tuesday Trio

Bowling in a league continues to be a good time. There may be cut-throat leagues a-la The Big Lebowski (or really any TV show that includes bowling) but ours is not one of them. This week we played the unnamed team of Trudy, Jason, and [absent]; coworke

Tater Mitts
May 12 2007, 17:35 EDT
This is the coolest thing, evar. As seen on TV I give you Tater Mitts (warning, audio). The gloves look like heavy duty kitchen gloves put with a steel wool like palm. You just rub the potato under running water to peel it. I suppose a garbage disposa
