Being the Master of the Universe

March 31, 2008

Long long ago, back before the earth’s crust cooled and when wheels were square, I was a Ksh Master of the Universe.

March 27, 2008

Morning, Yesterday there was a mega phone network outage where my servers reside…so I had to do local work instead of online. Wah. Today is major catchup day.

March 26, 2008

Morning! March is almost over, can you believe that! Soon I’ll have to start planning for Camp Ling.

Workwise, I was a tornado. First [...]

Holiday stress, pushups, Twitter rants, Ikea and more

Breaking your boundaries, Twitter rants and more

March 22, 2008

Yesterday’s martial arts was truly an eyeopener. I’ll write more about it over at AskOwlbert, but in a nutshell, I got pummeled to the point where choosing to stop was more attractive than 39 candy bars to a toddler…but I kept on going. I’m feeling much better this morning (I’m aching so much my body [...]
