Hoystory has been upgraded to WordPress v2.5.1. As I was searching my archives for a particular post, I discovered that someone had managed to hack into some of my posts and place links to various Bob Dole-type drugs. You know the ones I'm talking about. I don't know how it was done, though I recall […]
The end of March Madness also marks the time that my cell phone contract is up. My cell phone -- which is more often used as a PDA and for its Internet browsing capabilities -- is a pretty nice HTC 6700 that has worked well. I've experienced none of the horror stories others have with […]
Several years ago I was at a weekend church retreat for 20something singles up in the Big Bear area. One of the church's pastors gave a talk that I've long forgotten the details of, but not the larger point: He encouraged the women in the group "not to settle" when it came to choosing a […]
It's in a newspaper, so it must be true. He's had many an unkind comment about his looks when set against the radiant beauty of girlfriend Sienna Miller. But Rhys Ifans seems likely to have the last laugh because psychologists reckon that happier marriages result from attractive women who wed uglier men. And women who […]
There's no different between the two right now, and I've still got some work to do on the logos, but you can see the beginnings of the alternate stylesheet at the top of the sidebar.

Visitors the last few days may have noticed that the blog changed between how it looked now and how it looked months ago periodically without rhyme or reason. I've tried to track down what was causing the switching (it wasn't me) and I can't figure it out for the life of me, so I've removed […]
I found this one-panel webcomic, better-drawn than I could accomplish, that sorta just says it all.
For some strange reason, the calendar, category list and blogroll normally on the sidebar have disappeared (from the Redoable template). I wasn't futzing with the template, so I don't know how this happened. If you want to access the blogroll or any of the other things that are missing, for the time being I suggest […]
I'd apologize for the lack of blogging, especially with the debates over the weekend and yesterday's New Hampshire primary, but I've been crazy-busy with the work that currently pays real cash money. If I continue to work overtime at the current clip, then I might be able to buy this in 2040. That's Panasonic's 150-inch […]
I got my new car payment today after a lot of research and errand running, which should explain the recent blogging slowdown. For those who are interested, I got a used 2006 Hyundai Sonata GLS V6. That last bit may or may not turn out to be the thing I regret. Gas mileage is a […]
