There are lots of you out there running 802.11b wireless access points in your homes… and I also know that lots of your are guilty of not running WEP on them… This probably seems pretty harmless – I mean your data is not that important so if people sniff your traffic you don’t really care… […]

My TiVo records the Discovery Channel show ‘Monster Garage’ for me… I’m still not quite sure if I like it or not – mainly becuase it seems that during the one-hour show, 50-mins is spent documenting how all the team members are bitching at each other… but alas, the machines they make are pretty cool… […]

Last time I was in NYC in January, you couldn’t go 10mins without hearing someone bitch about the smoking ban that was about to occur… Quite frankly, I couldn’t see how they could ban smoking in NYC… LA? sure! But NYC? Well they did it – you can read all about it here. What’s really […]

NO MORE DRINKING. I’m done for awhile… Friday night I ended up hanging with some of the boys out in downtown… at which time my comrades proceeded to pick up an entire harem of Miller girls. I swore I wouldn’t drink that night but I ended up being a victim of my strong team-player attitude… […]

Fairly busy week… Started out touring the ArtPace building – pretty neat stuff. It seems that they have a new exhibit every month… I recommend you check it out.

Back in the day, I had a friend explain to me that running into a moose would do more damage to the car than the moose… in fact, she claimed that the moose would just trott off without a scratch… I didn’t believe it until I saw this.

This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen! Every party needs one of these…

This shouldn’t be funny, but it is… hope you enjoy it. Watch the video.

We laughed… We cried… we drank… we danced… and drank some more. What can I say? It was another classic Elmendorf party… Happy Birthdays to Brett and Paul!
