Scattershooting while making frantic preparations to defend the Gazette against the inevitable attack by WikiLeaks sympathizers who are targeting high profile websites. While most people probably look for novels to read during summer vacations, the year-end holiday season is also a good excuse to look for some light reading, especially when curled up by a… Continue reading Random Thursday

Random Thursday
Rob, this post’s for you. Or because of you. You saw the movie Take The Lead, didn’t you, the one starring Antonio Banderas as a dance instructor who volunteers to teach ballroom dancing to some at-risk high school students and ends up making a big difference in their lives? That could never actually happen, could… Continue reading Random Thursday

A few observations while marveling at the fact that a “Random Thursday” post is actually getting posted on a Thursday. I was reading the fifth chapter of Lamentations this morning (when’s the last time you read the most depressing book of the Bible?) and a particular verse caught my attention. Now, keep in mind that… Continue reading Random Thursday
Random Thursday – The Friday Edition
Because I spent all day yesterday in a hospital waiting room without reliable WiFi and was too cheap to spring for a 30-day 3G data plan on my iPad just to write a blog post, and because vacuuming and dusting the house and doing the laundry are not tasks to be done without interruption, here’s… Continue reading Random Thursday – The Friday Edition
Random Thursday
Some random bloggage while contemplating the inherent unfairness of yesterday evening’s storm that flooded many parts of Midland and yet gave our neighborhood just enough rain to mess up our newly-washed truck. It is, after all, all about me. Solid State Drives (SSDs) are all the rage nowadays. Their manufacturers claim the drives are nearly… Continue reading Random Thursday

The theme of today’s post could be “Around the Web,” as I don’t have anything noteworthy to write about, not that that’s ever stopped me. Ever wonder how a sewing machine works? How about a rotary engine or a Maltese Cross mechanism? If you’re a visual learner, this website has some very simple animated examples… Continue reading Random Thursday
Random Thursday – The Friday the 13th Edition
Can’t believe it’s already Friday. Seems like yesterday it was only, well, Thursday. Anyway, before we get too cocky, don’t forget that it’s only three days until Monday. I’m sorry, but if you’re intentionally running your sprinkler system on an established lawn in the middle of a West Texas August afternoon, you’re either ignorant or… Continue reading Random Thursday – The Friday the 13th Edition

Did you notice that I posted three times yesterday? It’s almost like I’m a real blogger. It wore me out, though, so don’t get used to it. This Random Thursday post is going to be a little different than most, because I’m going to freestyle it, sort of like Kid Rock on the CMT Awards… Continue reading Random Thursday

Scattershooting while contemplating a four day weekend… It’s been a while since I wrote anything remotely Apple-fanboyish, so indulge me for pointing out that yesterday was a red letter day in that company’s history, as its market capitalization at the close of trading exceeded that of arch-rival Microsoft. Market cap is for all practical purposes… Continue reading Random Thursday
Random Thursday – The 1st Day of Spring on a Saturday Edition
Is this really the first day of Spring? I get confused about the date, and not just because the temperature is 50 degrees colder today than yesterday. I could Google it, but, you know…spring fever and all. Anyway, now that The Gate is hung, I’m between projects (I’m contemplating trying my hand at building a… Continue reading Random Thursday – The 1st Day of Spring on a Saturday Edition
