I am sorry, dear readers. I know I haven't been a very good blogger to you. I've been gone for so long, I'd be surprised if there's anyone still looking at this. (Who am I kidding? I was surprised when I first learned that anyone was reading this thing to begin with!) For the 1.25 readers I still have, I humbly and profusely apologize.And now that that is done with, pardon me whilst I blow my

I couldn't help myself.I simply had to see the new Star Trek movie. I know. I heard all the nasty things the most hardcore of Trekkers were saying about it. Yet I could not keep myself away from the theater on opening day.My verdict?For the casual movie-goer, it's a fun little romp through the Alpha Quadrant.

What ever happened to the phrase "My country, right or wrong!"? Or "America: Love It Or Leave It!"?These were always two of the most prominent cries of the modern American Conservative. Yet today, with nary a conservative in power in the Federal government, some of them not only want to leave the country, but take the entire country with them.

Last November, I resolved to never buy any music published, distributed, and/or associated with Sony BMG. With their massive Charlie Foxtrot by installing rootkits onto computers just by playing a music CD, I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw a building. Keeping your intellectual property safe is one thing. Violating customer privacy and security was something quite different.And now,

Over the years, I've learned many things about myself. Most of them negative.I am a loser.I am an idiot, a moron and a fool.I am a screw-up, a flake.I am a geek, a dork, a spaz, and a nerd.I couldn't do something right even if I bribed it in advance.I am the living embodiment of Murphy's Law.And yet...I am loved.So to the man who has supported me through thick and thin and really thin, who

And that, I can tell you, was a serious strain on everyone and everything involved.This time, it looks to be about 5 weeks.I had an interview out at the airport today at 1 in the afternoon.

A piece of wisdom for you. (Even though most of you know this one already.) After becoming unemployed, for any reason, the one thing that is both the most important and the most difficult to do is to stay busy.On my part, I try.
