Just before my mother died, she asked me to save her. It was the last thing she said to me; I am almost certain it was the morphine talking. Still, it’s killed me for the last three years. I’ve been living with a ton of guilt since then.
The Wind through the Keyhole spends a lot of time talking about the relationship of a son and his mother. The last line of the book is part of a...

Astaro RED and AT&T 3g or 4g aircards
I just wanted to post this here for anyone else that may need to use an AT&T aircard with an Astaro RED device. I tried several Verizon LTE aircards, and none worked, but the first AT&T aircard that I tried, a USBConnect Force 4g, worked immediately.
It was pretty simple. Turn on the 3G/UMTS failover on the RED, and then set the username to ifp@cingular.gprs.com, with a password of...

Judge: Apologize on Facebook or Go to Jail →
David Coursey, forbes.com
In a remarkable take on Freedom of Speech, an Ohio judge threatened a man with 60 days in jail if he didn’t apologize to his estranged wife for a rant he posted to his Facebook page. Even better: The judge penned the forced Facebook…
I’m pretty sure this judge is in the wrong.
This is a quick note to my stalker. Hello, stalker.
Me: So, how do you explain intra-plate earthquakes?
Caitlin: Things happen under the earth, where we cannot see.
Me: Like?
Caitlin: feelings, emotions, struggles.
Me: •blink•

If a tree falls on a woman, and no one is around to hear it, why was there a tree in the kitchen?

This is an orgy of Americana, and I love it.
Office 365 allows seamless coexistence with on site exchange. Cool feature. Now, how is it useful to me as a MSP?

Caitlin: it wasn’t an asteroid.
Me:?
Caitlin: It was the white people.

I don’t often tell people what to do when it comes to politics, but I’ve got one for you today. The senate’s military appropriations bill this year includes provisions requiring the military to detain American citizens suspected of assisting Al Qaeda. Thats fine. But it also allows them to hold American citizens indefinitely without trial. That is a travesty, and a direct...

Wife: I want a shark. Or maybe some glass fish.
Me: The cichlids will eat the glass fish. They are territorial.
Wife: No. I don't think so.
Wife, a few minutes later: OH! Glass fish are REAL? I meant fake fish made out of glass.
Me: °sigh°
Last night, my wife asked me to clean the fish tank. We had three cichlids, Casper, Taxi, and… I don’t remember the last one’s name. We inherited the fish from the last tenants in our apartment. We cleaned the tank for the first time in four months. The water was like pea soup, green with months of algae. I took out the rocks, and drained the tank four times to clear the water....

“Cut the Monte Cristo in 1/2, transfer it to a place, and garnish with the...”
– A recipe. What place, exactly, should I transfer it to?
You know how you can fall asleep, wake up, and not remember your dream, but still feel the emotion? Well, that just happened to me. I woke up, and was so sad, because I was a piece of toast.

I just asked my wife, jokingly, how many gigga-bytes her phone had. Her answer was, without blinking an eye, “Five.”
(sidenote: she has a 16 gig iPhone.)
“What came first, the chicken or the egg?”
“The platypus…”
– My wife.
Overheard at dinner
“Today, at work, I was punched in the uterus.”
Someone called the police on my wife today. The reason? We apparently have a malnourished dog. He is a greyhound. He looks malnourished, but he is perfectly healthy. I suppose, on the one hand, I appreciate that they are looking out. On the other hand, it’s a greyhound. They aren’t big dogs. They don’t exactly get fat.

So, I got a touchpad...
Interesting thing about the touchpad: now that it is priced to move, it’s so popular that people are lining up outside of stores to get one. It is now, without a doubt, the second most popular tablet in the world, and if HP had released it for $300 to start with, we wouldn’t be where we are now. Unfortunately, Leo Apotheker wants HP to be a software company, and couldn’t be...
On resentment.
I was thinking about a candidate that I interviewed for one of our job openings, and I was having a hard time pinpointing what it was about the individual that put me off. It dawned on me after a little while that although his technical skills were probably sufficient for the job, he was harboring significant resentment. His ex-wife, his old bosses, his family. Everything in his life has done him...
I woke up early this morning, and grabbed my iPhone to do some reading. I saw my $35 dollar invisashield screen protector, and how bad it looked, and started to take it off. I decided not to at the last minute, put my phone beside my head, and fell back to sleep. As I was sinking into my bed, I heard a ‘crack’. And then a thump. I realized that my phone was no longer next to me. I...
