Here’s another reason that Sony sucks so bad – they’re screwing the artists out of their rightful money. Boycott Sony, people – for the good of the planet!
I really enjoyed consuming the best turnip (Brassica rapa rapa) yesterday. Every once in awhile, you just need a really good turnip, ya know?! Mmmmm. [...]

I have just three trivialities to share this morning. First off, I’m now ranked #21 in Oil Fight, with only a month left. I’d like to break into the top 10, but that should be really hard – we’ll see, though.
Secondly, I’ve been enjoying listening to some great [munk] tunes on the ol’ [...]

I learned a new trick last night: just replace any podcast feed’s “http://” with “itpc://”, and it’ll instantly work in iTunes. Crazy. I’ve read that it wasn’t always so easy. I have to now smirk at the variety of methods I’ve seen people try to figure out a way to get podcasts [...]

I received this email a couple of days ago, in answer to one of my previous posts (from 4 years ago):
“Hi Richard,
I am the son of the owner of Krusteaz (Continental Mills, Inc.) Krusteaz is pronounced Crust (as in pie “crust”) and ease (for easy) – Krusteaz. Hope this helps.

Well, I don’t know [...]

We spent a few hours in Oregon yesterday (just over the line in Ontario). Bizarre little town, with a definite old side and new side. It’s cool that the speed limit is 75 m.p.h. all the way there, though. It looked like the Snake River is flooding in parts, as we saw [...]

It’s been confirmed: Mac’s are not secure. Tom Ferris just revealed 7 highly critical security holes in Mac OS X – for which there are no patches or workarounds yet available. Ouch. Maybe it’s time to run Linux on your Mac!

We’ve spent a wonderful Easter holiday with family, and we’ve also been enjoying some wonderful meals, to boot. These include a great Easter ham dinner on Sunday night by Misti, and also some yummy non-MSG-laden chinese food at Confucius in west Boise.
The kids went and saw “Ice Age 2: The Meltdown” in Nampa. [...]

So, I ended up mowing the lawn (for real this time) with our new Electrolux Rally lawn mower. As it turns out, the weedwhacker is great for what it’s designed for; and between the two, the yard is looking quite nice again.   =)
We watched parts of the 2006 IFBB Masters Pro World [...]

Well, well… Apple has buggy software. I think it’s rather ironic that Mac users are switching to Windows – without even knowing it!   =)
We watched “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe” (2005; Liam Neeson, Rupert Everett, Tilda Swinton) last night on fullscreen DVD. Not bad. [...]

Well, the long-awaited MS patch tuesday has come and gone, and Windows and IE are all safely patched up and secure again for awhile.
In other news, we’ve now surpassed 77,000 miles on the car. In OilFight, I’ve now edged into the #27 spot, while Dave is back up to #34. Good times.
My 2006 [...]

Here’s my video from the 2006 Boise Fitness Expo that I promised:

In other news, we finally found the “Canyon Cache F – Pedestrian” cache yesterday evening. Third time’s a charm… Pretty sneaky, sis.
We had some wonderful grub at Hamburger Connection in Caldwell yesterday as well. [...]

We attended the latter part of the Bodybuilding.com 2006 Boise Fitness Expo last night at The Big Easy Concert House downtown. It was fairly warm and pungent inside, wow! I snagged some video, which I’ll post tomorrow night.
At the expo, we got to see IFBB pros Jay Cutler and Bob Cicherillo in a [...]

I’ve been sampling some Iron Bull Peppered Beef Jerky (“America’s Fitness Jerky”) over the last couple of days. Pretty good stuff. Mmmm.
It was really hailing hard last night outside – it woke us up from a sound slumber in the middle of the night. Hail on a skylight is LOUD!
Apple wants you [...]

This past weekend has seen a few great events. We watched the 176th Annual General Conference on TV, attended Miguel’s birthday party, and had Brad come over for dinner, a little caching, and to jinx our atomic clock.
