Catching up with old enemies (Veeday Edition)

Let’s rewind one year.
I wrote an open letter to whoever is responsible for this abomination of a holiday. I am pleased to say that I continue to hold the utmost contempt for a pointless holiday that serves no other purpose than to empty people’s pockets. Commercialism at its best.
So St. Valentine, whoever you are, again, [...]

Cross one off the list

I had my car fixed today. I can once again make a left turn without worrying about whether my car will fall apart!
I’ve also been informed that I have 3,000 to 5,000 miles left on my brakes.

I found it… now what?

So, a couple of entries back I talked about this thing that’s going wrong with my car. I was bored today so I figured I’d jack it up and see what was going on, and I think I’ve traced the problem to its source. The only thing is I have absolutely no clue what to [...]

Open sesame.

I think I should open up more and write a bit more. I mean, it does pass the time. Maybe I can hone my skills and be an actual blogger, that is of some use to this world. I can only hope.

The birthday, the death, ANOTHER migration and upcoming changes

I’m 20 now.
Yep. You know it. And for the third year in a row, I can honestly say my birthday sucked. I had to work… it was just like any other day. At least there’s hope for 21, which as of this writing is 358 days away and is the last one to have any [...]

The migration continues

I apologize for writing so much about this. It seems like it’s so unimportant to other people but right now it’s the only thing going on. It’ll eventually stop.
So to follow up, I looked at how hard it would be to implement virtual email hosting on this server. It’s not easy [...]

Forget the pie

I have deleted my Yuwie account. They really play up the potential to make money there but I don’t have the time or the patience to do it. I would have to be someone I’m not or be an attention whore. I can’t do that. As a result, goodbye Yuwie.

It’s over.

Fletcher’s concession speech is at 10 PM EST. I’ll be watching.

Flickr set of the tornado damage

I managed to get a few shots of the damage left by last week’s EF3 tornado here in Owensboro. Right now it doesn’t look as bad since there has been a lot of cleanup going on, but right after it happened it looked as if a bomb went off downtown.
