How To Get Out Of Talking
It happens to all of us. Sooner or later, you will be forced to compose audible grunts into meaningful sequences and transmit them over the slower than snail speed of sound. Additionally, you must block until receiving an ACK over the same medium, often requesting even more transformation of thoughts into similar mutually understood grunts.

Crap. I’m Growing Man Boobs!
McDonalds: its been real, its been fun, but I think we need to see other people. I “lightly” pulled a muscle in my chest today while averting a fall due to not watching where I was going. A little while ago, I was rubbing the sore spot and noticed something I had not noticed before [...]

Today marks the third time in one year that I’ve been bitten by someone else’s mistake. I’ve tried several `accounting as a service’ providers and should have learned my lesson after the first bad experience.
I appreciate dynamic infrastructure as a service as much as the next person. I love using tools like Xen to build [...]
Broken Towels
I try to be tolerant, patient and understanding. I try, very very hard to not let trivial and mundane set backs influence the quality of my over all mood. Today, I have failed.

This caused a spike that produced so much heat that the collider’s fail safes [...]

Salmonella
Tags: ohno, ouch, salmonella, work
I have finally recovered from a really, really bad case of salmonella food poisioning. I can truthfully say, the experience was by far the worst experience of my life.
I had lunch with my wife in what seemed to be a very nice Italian restaraunt. I had a steak with some kind of mushroom cream sauce [...]
On Airplanes And Anti Lock Brakes
Tags: ohno, thinking out loud
I was just reading about some of the speculation into why the Air France Airbus crashed. Investigators are beginning to suspect total and complete malfunction of the on board computers that automatically adjust for things like turbulence.
Apparently, the pilots may have believed that the craft was flying so slowly that it was about to stall, [...]
