Earthquake!

Steve — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 21:59:26 +0000

We’re too far north of the epicenter to have experienced anything other than a brief rolling thrill ride. Nonetheless, I think I’m going to stop at Target on the way home from work and pick up a few “in case The Big One ever hits” items.

Merry Christmas

Unto us a Child is born.

I’ve joined the iPhone crowd

I haven’t written much lately, but boy howdy am I enjoying my new iPhone.

I’m not your baby, Sprint/Nextel lady.

A telemarketer from Sprint just called me, very “excited” about how much money we can save by converting our Nextel service to Sprint. Sounds great, I look good when I save the company money. As we were hanging up, she signed off by saying “Thank you, baby.”

I’m sure she just said it out of force of habit since she probably always calls her husband or kids that, but I couldn’t help but snicker after I hung up. Not that I’m any better, I’ve had to stop myself from calling my coworkers “hon” before.

Chick-fil-A = Awesome

My sister-in-law and folks I know around the Internet have been extolling the virtues of Chick-fil-A for some time now, but I was never able to see for myself because the closest location was 50 miles away.

Until now.

A new location opened up yesterday about halfway between home and work, so off we went for dinner last night. I can see why people love it so much, as I am now counted among those people. I don’t know if it’s being pressure cooked in peanut oil or the slight dose of crack cocaine that makes “The Original Chicken Sandwich” so good, but I for one will have no problem complying with the instructions of the Chick-fil-A mascot, which is a cow wearing a sandwich board, its message imploring us to “Eat Mor Chikin” (apparently cows are not very good spellers).

Chick-fil-A is closed on Sundays, due to founder Truett Cathy’s Christian beliefs. As a Christian myself I applaud this, and since I intend to eat Chick-fil-A three meals a day from now on it’s best if I have one day a week off to eat, you know, carrots or something.

Come on spammers, just try it

OK, maybe I shouldn’t be poking the bear like that but after what happened with my previous blog I really want to see my “spam blocked” widget in the side bar show something other than zero. This site is too new to have been discovered by spammers as of yet, but they’ll be here eventually, and I’m ready. I am running the awesome Akismet plugin to filter out comment and trackback spam. Even though I don’t update my old blog anymore I have left it online with Akismet running for testing purposes, and even though the site is still getting hammered it hasn’t let a single spam comment through.

Bring on the spam!
