I’ve been relatively quiet online regarding my political stance and since tomorrow’s the election, I figured I’m safe to blog a bit now without having to worry about fielding too many questions from people that 1) disagree with me, or 2) think they agree with me, but aren’t sure. Here’s my take. I am a…

THIRTY ONE!!
Another year and another birthday! 31 isn’t really a milestone, so it wasn’t quite the event of the big three-oh. However, I recently purchased a new laptop so I could seel my older one to my sister who was in need of a capable computer. Plus I bought a car, so all told it was…
I’m 30. Yikes.
Well, on 9/9 I turned 3/0. I really didn’t think much about it, other than my prediction not coming to pass. Prediction? Well, I told Jaime soon after we were married that I had this feeling that I wouldn’t make it to 30. I didn’t know why, but I think it had something to do…
Thank You! Come Again!
Wellity, Wellity, Wellity… It appears that one of the neatest marketing gimmicks that has ever befallen mankind has befallen mankind in Burbank, CA (among other places). Turns out, this Kwik-E-Mart is about 2 minutes from my place of work in sunny Burbank, so I stopped by after work today. I’ve been a long-time Simpsons nut,…

That’s MY 128-bit key. If someone distributes that around the internet, I have the very same legal right that the AACS-LA group has to prosecute. See http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/?p=1155 for the info, but basically, that number was used to encrypt a copyrighted work (A haiku) and I was given explicit rights to decrypt the work my the…

That’s the AACS code that can apparently be used to crack HDDVD discs released up till now. The AACSLA group is trying to strong arm the whole internet into removing those numbers from existence. I align with Kevin Rose, founder of Digg, in this plight. The DMCA is getting a bit to big for its…
World tour!
Well, I’ve been lax at blogging due to my band’s upcoming World Tour. Here’s a song from one of our recent shows. I play the drums, fyi. WHITESNAKE ROCKS. See you on the tour! -Chris
I strongly dislike traveling.
I started to say “hate”, but hate is such a strong word, and as much as I dislike traveling, I don’t hate it. I’m in Beaverton, OR this week for business. The plane that brought us up here was some dinky thing that I had to duck to get into, and stay ducked to move…
Death by Diet Pepsi
Well, not exactly death, but I did choke. Here’s the deal… We ordered pizza from Pizza Hut a few nights back. The deal we chose came with a 2 liter of Diet Pepsi. As we had other drinks prior to the delivery of the pie, I just put the Diet Pepsi in the fridge for…
Merry Everyone!
Look who found his blog!! It’s me! Wow, it was been a LONG time since I blogged, and needless to say, much has happened.. Where to begin…hmmm…. Emma’s first Christmas went VERY well. We had a blast with some extended family who were super nice to let us come and hang out with them in…
Friggin’ groundhog…
My goodness, it seems like we’ve had 10 months of winter… It’s March, for Pete’s sake, and it was 30 degrees today on my way into work. I’m definitely ready for some warmer weather. I know that Emma’s itching to get outside and play, even though she’s only 9 weeks… 🙂 Seriously though, she has…
Time keeps on slippin’
Well, I cannot believe that it is February already. January was simply a blur. With a kid being born on New Year’s day, you really don’t get that “Here comes 2006!” mentality. It’s all about the baby and when you finally poke your head up to see what’s happened in the world, it’s February! shish…
