Happy Mother's Day 2009

In days of yore
Before men were bores
Women were wisest
Across the land

I think its strange
How things have changed,
Were still guided
By womens hand.

From our very first walk
To when we could talk
Your soft nurturing voice
Always said we can

So even in youth
We knew the truth
That women also
Make the (wo)man

We...

Verizon FiOS Woes

Like a Firefox user is stuck with the browser, I'm trapped with FiOS. Sure, people can say I can use another browser and Internet service provider (ISP), but that shows me how stupid they are. The key for me is making my life easier, not harder.

Let's use browsers as an example. I love Opera and do use it occasionally. However, I...

Tea Time

I was having 10 o'clock problems last week, so I decided to steep and drink Lipton's regular green tea because it always made things move. The only thing I knew about tea up to that point was to put a tea bag in really hot water until the water changes color. The tea was horrendous that day but I pushed through and finished...

Bond, Slash & Drood

I dont know what it is that gets me reading. Whether its movies, books, or lyrics, I really dont care about characters in a story, the underlying meaning (although its fun to discuss with other people), or the size of the book. What I do know is that paint will dry faster than I can read a book.

Its also not...

I pulled out some charcoal pencils to work with shadows while trying to maintain my art trend. Hidden underneath the tools was a graphite sketch of a person floating in a horizontal slam dunk position. I took a break from it because I wasnt too happy with how it was going, so I pulled out some charcoal pencils and just started shading. The chair wasnt...

In addition to my overly analytical and incessant thinking, I also have unending streams of ideas. I'm not that guy that has 4 ideas that he harbors his entire life and becomes jaded because he feels the world isn't giving him his due respect. My ideas are spontaneous and fleeting life-rafts that ebb and flow in my forever changing ocean of thoughts. They're spontaneous because...

I've had this idea in the back of my mind all week, so I finally stopped procrastinating and did something about it. What followed was roughly sketching the idea on paper, and finally painting it on a 15x22 watercolor board.

I'm happy with it because I finally did something past the sketching phase, and I stuck with my main goals - forgoing detail, and working...

I read an article on <a href="http://www.macnewsworld.com/">MacNewsWorld</a>'s site titled "<a href="http://www.macnewsworld.com/story/How-to-Build-a-Mac-Home-Network-65622.html">How to Build a Mac Home Network</a>." The first thing I thought after reading the article is, "The title is completely misleading." It doesn't really tell you how to build a network; it's more of an equipment reference, with a <a href="http://awurl.com/NEgwnsIFb">quick mention</a> to refer to Apple's PDF:

"Fortunately, Apple provides a PDF-based guide, "Designing...
