The things you realize after half a case of beer…

Posted by TFG on 23rd July 2008

…and a random walk thru your music library. I think that Teenage Riot song has been the soundtrack to my life since I first heard it. All I can say is that I’m bone-weary of slow-moving, excuse-laden, lackadaisical bullshit.

Yeah, I’m probably the asshole here. Fine, so be it.

Yet another thing to spend your life fretting about

Posted by TFG on 23rd July 2008

If you’re of that bent, of course:

Pittsburgh cancer center warns of cell phone risks - Yahoo! News

The head of a prominent cancer research institute issued an unprecedented warning to his faculty and staff Wednesday: Limit cell phone use because of the possible risk of cancer.

Whatever. Bacon, grilled beef, Marlboros, jalapenos, cell phones, flouridated water, drunk drivers, loaded guns, lightening, smoked meats, solvents, Hurricane Dolly, Copenhagen, Washington apples, aluminum in your deodorant, lead paint, nuclear energy, nuclear missiles, gasoline, greenhouse gases — just frikkin’ whatever.

I guess I could just stay in bed under the covers, but that’s the day the Gulfstream V, owned by a high-flying entrepreneur coked to the gills on the way to Cabo San Lucas with his juggy 20yo Estonian “personal assistant” intern, develops a leak in the potty bulkhead, and I’ll be killed by a falling iceball of Ketel One, Opus One, and Veuve Cliquot piss. Who wins that one?

Gimme the keys, gimme a beer, and gimme the phone…let’s go get some enchiladas, and then we can go bowling.

This might seem supremely trivial to you…

Posted by TFG on 23rd July 2008

…but I made my first ethernet patch cable today. I’ve sold everything from bus & tag to ESCON to HIPPI to token ring to FDDI to Fibre Channel, and every flavor of ethernet ever to exist, but I’d never pieced one together from cable and jacks with crimpers. Feeling a little accomplished right now.

Yes, it’s supremely trivial, but I gots ideas and no one to make the little buggers I need.
