People from here sure do know a lot about mobile technology… oh wait…

Actually, they just know that there’s a thing called 3G and they don’t have it, WHY WHY WHY YOU HAVE IT EVERYWHERE ELSE AND NO ONE HAS 3G HERE.* EVER. I’m about sick of people from Owensboro bitching about their lack of 3G on the death star. It’s reached a fever pitch lately as the [...]

Travels, sort of

Look for Chez BachelorPad Express steaming eastbound on US 60 today as I travel to Louisville for a cookout at Nick‘s new apartment. “But Drew! Why don’t you take I-64?!” Simple. If you go slower, you save gas. For example, when I drive to Henderson as I do rather frequently, if I take US 60 [...]

Whirlwinds and whirling winds: TriStateAlerts so far

The pace my life has taken, even after tax season has pretty much ended, is enough to bring Chuck Norris to his knees. I keed. However, I’m managing to stay busy. Check this out: During last year’s ice storm, Nathan and I started a little Twitter account we called TriStateAlerts. We mainly just used it [...]

Some time for a breather

Work in the accounting world is a hell of a ride this time of year. Of course, that’s not to say that work in the accounting world isn’t a completely different ballgame anyway. We’re slammed to the max from January to mid-April, stress runs high and you tend to spend some late nights in the [...]

Headaches suck

I was up at 8:30 this morning, believe it or not. I also had a splitting headache. In this sort of situation you are presented with quite a harsh dilemma. When all you have in your medicine cabinet is a bottle of Lonelyt (spell it backwards) PM, and you have the choice of taking it [...]

Geeks, look away. I am about to show everyone our worst nightmare: a horribly disgusting measure of slowness that will readily drive any of us to near suicide. This stumped me for months and I eventually arrived at the point where I just didn’t care anymore. I blamed it on my computer’s NIC, and then [...]

Longest week EVAR

So much has happened this week and I am surprised I made it out alive. Check it out. Monday I was working on billing stuff with Boss #2 in Henderson when his wife left to take one of the kids to grandma’s and grab food at Arby’s, if I remember correctly. She backs out of [...]

Hey, check out that date.

Jobs I’d like to have before I’m 30

Work can be a wonderful thing. I have my interests and I would like for those interests to be put to good use at one point or another. I don’t want to be a jack of all trades and I don’t want to be an ace of just one. As such, here is a short [...]

Large and in charge, but mainly in charge

I remember having a dream that I had 11 globes in my room. It started off at six, but in a matter of minutes it ballooned to 11. Here’s what DreamMoods has to say on the subject: To see a globe in your dream, suggests that you need to step back and look at the [...]
