L.A. L.A. Land
We’re off to Lost Angeles today. Going back for my high school reunion. It should be interesting to say the least. I was permanently expelled from high school about three months into 9th grade. They sent me to a “continuation” school. A place for burned out kids to keep them off the street until they’re 18. [...]

Doesn’t Anyone Remember?
From today’s New York Times online:
“More than one-third — 36 percent — of New York City men who have sex with other men and have had five or more sex partners within the past year do not consistently use condoms.”

We had a solar pool heating system installed. The pool people came and built this low profile rack on the ground next to the house. They connected these long panels vertically side by side to it. Each panel consisted of several long black tubes about the width of a soda straw. The water just trickles [...]

This Is Why I Hate Apple
Nine years ago, I bought the top of the line Apple Macintosh. I was going to school for design and everyone used Macs so I figured I had to get the best one on the market. I assumed it would last a long time since I was buying the Grand Poo-bah of computers.
CPU…………..$6000.00
Monitor……..$2000.00
Video Card…..$900.00
Audio Card…..$700.00
Total………….$9600.00

120 Miles
Went on a 120 mile bike ride today. I’ve only had the thing for a little over a week and it’s already got about 500 miles on it.
I love my bike and I promise not to have a photo of me on it every other post. Maybe every third post?
After a long ride, two hard [...]
