i found out 2 days ago that i’m going to washington DC for a week to work. honestly, DC doesn’t sound all that enticing to me. i’ve been there a handful of times (never for work) and it was fun for like… a few days. other than that, i…

defcon was freaking amazing. i made a lot of new friends , was wined and dined by goons and geeks, even got handcuffed (and learned how to get out of them). my eyes seriously welled up when i hugged everyone goodbye and got in my cab to…

this sounds like WAY too much fun. tempting . :evil:

i never would’ve thought i’d be going to vegas twice in 7 months. no more after this. my flight leaves tomorrow at 6PM and i should be arriving around 10 or so tomorrow night. which means it’ll be like 1AM for me and i’m going to be wiped…

last thursday i went to the charleston riverdogs game. it had been far too long since i went to a baseball game and it must have been my lucky day because the riverdogs played the hickory crawdads! :blush: i was the idiot screaming for the…

i don’t actually have a cube at work (don’t really want one, either) but i do have my own little area. the other day, one of my co-workers showed me this website–Cubeecraft . soon, i will have my own small army of cube people. :evil:…

a buddy of mine at work was throwing away a bunch of computer parts/gadgets that he no longer wanted and before he gave away the WHOLE BOX on craigslist (i yelled at him for not showing me this treasure chest of SWEET TOYS! before offering…

i can’t believe i forgot to mention this. i booked my plane tickets for las vegas last week. since last semester, i had been planning on doing this trip with AITP, but i found out a whole mess of people from work are going. i can’t wait.…

since living on my own, weird things keep happening. maybe weird isn’t the correct word. scary and/or life-threatening and/or WTF-worthy would be more like it. here is a short re-cap of the past month’s accidents. found and killed…

i was at one of the ALUG LAN parties over 2 years ago when i decided to make a bunch of shirts and stickers and crap on cafe press . i never actually bought any of them. until last week. unfortunately, ALUG (appalachian linux users group)…

i finally broke away from my mom’s cell phone plan. i am a brand spanking new iPhone owner, and i love it. this is the first apple product i’ve ever owned and i could not be happier with my purchase. :happy: first of all, i bought the 3G…

i finally took pictures of my apartment. :) click here to view them .

i made a little extra money today and decided to buy myself an early birthday present. i haven’t bought a new camera in over 3 and a half years and the 2 cameras i own have seen better days. much better. a buddy from work and i went to…

in the last month, i have graduated from college, moved 5 hours away from an apartment in the “high country” with a view of the blue ridge mountains to an apartment in the “low country” where i can drive to the beach in 10 minutes and see…

my apartment looks like a home now. :) i wish my camera wasn’t broken so i could take pictures. i’ll borrow someone’s until i buy a new one. my bedroom is my new favorite room. i must say, i made a hell of a choice on a mattress. it might…

i’m all moved into my new apartment. well, almost. my bedroom set ~~and washer/dryer~~ comes tomorrow and i really hope they come earlier rather than later. update: home depot just called me and said they would be here between 1 and 5…

instead of being productive and packing and getting ready for my move on thursday, i’ve successfully done all of the following: created a Google profile created a Dandy ID profile - …which led to creating about a million other profiles on…

i successfully walked across the stage at my graduation and sat through the entire ceremony without crying. i got back to my apartment with the family and read my dad’s card and it was like the flood gates opened. i was so close, too.…

for the past 3 or 4 hours, i’ve been in my room duct taping boxes and packing up my room. or trying to, anyway. :mad: i was doing alright for a while and i started packing up pictures and just lost it. the last few months have been so…

i responded to your comment earlier but in case you didn’t read it, i’m making it more obvious. HI! :grin: i did not take your remarks as a personal insult. at all. however, if i had not acknowledged the “midgets suck” insert, i feel like…

i did it! i took my project and actually turned it into “something”. it’s 6:30 in the morning and i haven’t gone to bed yet. the birds are chirping. BUT. i have a “final” product, which is probably nothing close to final. i present to you……

i changed a few things on my project management system . there is no form validation yet, so quit trying to freaking break it. it is not complete. i changed some of the layout/design. constructive criticism is good. posting obscenities and…
