This month’s theme is Pluto!

New Horizons will finally zoom by Pluto, get pictures and other data but I’m confident the whole planet debate will continue. As I’ve said before, I am with the ASU’s position of it is not. The loudest voices in the is camp … Continue reading

2005: Somara leaves for Phoenix

A very long and lonely Summer got rolling a decade ago. Technically, Somara headed out West a couple days before May began. I remember already missing her enormously as I tried to quietly weep in my cubicle the first Saturday … Continue reading

What?!?! Yes, we were in the process of scouting out the city ten years ago and around my sixth anniversary as an Apple employee, we flew there to scout prospects for both of us. Why? Somara and I figured there … Continue reading

This month’s header is a tribute to Leonard Nimoy

I decided to go with a header like I’ve done for Superman, Batman, 1989 and William Shatner. Not necessarily as a tribute to his passing but March 26 would’ve been his 84th birthday. It’s nice to see all the outpouring … Continue reading

It’s the one-year anniversary of The Lego Movie

In honor of the Academy snubbing this movie for even a nomination in animation, I decided to go with showing my support. Truthfully, most Oscar® winning movies suck. They tend to be pretentious, boring and were only released within a … Continue reading

A slight change on the site with Comments

My friend Jeremy was an enormous help with the migration but the cause of the past server’s issues were probably driven by spammers and how the site was organized. Thanks to his WP Fu, the posts were organized more logically … Continue reading

Happy New Year?

And so the calendar turns over to another year and I got to be ill physically and mentally again for it. Rather annoying too. I plan to move up my appointment with the doc since there have been some rather … Continue reading

Finally returned and here comes the blitz

Miss me? Probably not because you’re most likely swamped with the “joy” of the season. Christmas in 11 days, Hanukkah in two and Festivus in nine, don’t even get me started about Kwanza. I really, really wanted to write but even … Continue reading

Band Aid 1984 is the header since it’s the anniversary

Bob Geldof has reunited with the other egomaniac Bono to do yet another update to Band Aid. The song remains touching, it does have a touch of sadness but then again, anyone with half a brain knows the reality of … Continue reading
