my fractured soul

I guess that title was a little bit dramatic. I don’t actually have a fractured soul. Instead I have something that hurts far worse (I think). I think I have a fractured elbow. Think because I am too lame to go to the doctor to have it x-rayed. How did this happen to my typically […]

netscape geckos

Years and years ago, 13 years to be exact, I bought a leopard gecko. I was 17 and into weird animals at that point. I suppose that hasn’t really changed that much if you look at Roland who is partially reptilian. Anyways, back to the story at hand. First off there was Jerry (named after […]

crackberry hand

When I was in the States visiting I noticed something when I was taking the tram at SFO.

no kool aid for me today, mr jobs

Everyone is up in a tizzy about the announcement of the new iPhone from Apple. Everyone but me, it seems… Apple claims that this is a “breakthrough Internet device”. I’m finding it hard to believe this and I’ll state my reasons why in a minute. Now don’t get me wrong, I do like Apple. I […]

egypt recap

or more aptly titled: The Crucifixion of Jesus in 20 Minutes or Less * We’ve been back from our annual (non lesbo romantic) holiday in Egypt now for a few days, but things have been hectic and I haven’t been up to writing the recap of our week long holiday. Until now that is. I […]
