I’m a Photographer Now?

Tweet

Notice the capital “P.” Seems one of my photos (see below) was used in a Yahoo Spark article about The Language of the New Economy. It won’t make me rich (it won’t make me any money) but this is my third Flickr image used in someone else’s work. I’m up to two websites and one book! [...]

Did I Have A Stroke?

Tweet

It was scary! Couldn’t see much at all from right eye, left eye was frozen on same scene no matter what I did, I could not move or blink it. I was disoriented, almost paralyzed and was really getting into a fully scale panic! I might have even cried a bit wondering what I was going [...]

From Rome to Charlotte

Tweet

I’m at the Flying Hook in Rock Hill, SC, waiting for Monday to roll around. Up to now it had been a fairly busy week for me. Now that all my loads are done, I wasn’t left with one that would get me through the weekend. I’ll have to wait until Monday and maybe I’ll get [...]

Rejoice, rejoice!

Tweet

Yeah, the laptop is back in operation! Looks like the power supply brick crapped out on me (it was a replacement for the original which also crapped out) and I ordered one from Ebay. There were some third party one available in the stores but they cost 10 time more than what I paid. It came [...]

My First Car

Tweet

In early 1981, I just got out of bootcamp and went to Millington, TN to continue my education as an electronic technician in the US Navy. I knew I was only going to be there for nine months or so, but my young mind got the idea of owning a car stuck in it. I didn’t [...]

My Top Music Picks

Tweet

Rebuilding my fauxPod and loading more music from Windows Media Player and thought I’d share a few of my five starred tunes. When I get some real internet access I’ll add some links.

- Baby I Love You (Just Leave Me The Fuck Alone): The Yayhoos. Heard it on the end credits to an otherwise horror movie [...]

Ubuntu Project on Hold

Tweet

Hit a snag with my Ubuntu laptop testing program. I’ve really booogered up the installation by trying to convert it to Kubuntu (using the KDE window manager instead of Gnome). Somehow I got parts of version 4.0 and 3.51 running together and the whole thing is hosed. Thought I knew what I was doing, “A little [...]

Off To Work Tomorrow

Tweet

Hopefully, I’ll be running my truck tomorrow. I’m definitely heading up to the truck in the AM and will be there for the next three weeks. I’m certainly wanting lots of truck loads but I’ll settle for a few.  Just get me moving and making some money.  I can’t do this for another week!

I’ve heard that [...]
