This is not version 6. This is simply some tweaks and changes that I’m looking into incorporating into version 6, so try avoid feeling so disappointed. I honestly have no idea what version 6 is going to look like. I know what I want in it, but the guts are going to be more difficult [...]

Spring is Brasilia is right around the corner. I haven’t noticed a significant change though. It’s starting to rain a bit more. The weather is beginning to pick up. It’s really only a hint of what’s to come. I’m looking forward to the storms and the wind and the rain. I miss real weather, not [...]

Site streamlining continues. All my photo galleries are finally up and running again. Tweaking with them on a sub level is progressing. Web advice I’ve recently taken: un-justify text to improve readability, remove frivolous junk from home page (i.e. counter and CSS validator logo). I press on. As Dale was kind enough to point out, [...]
The outing that never was

Somewhere along the line we got lost. Long story short: Coleman and I ending up camping by ourselves, took some pictures of the waterfall we were at, got chewed on by bugs I’ve never heard of, built our fire with one match and parts of the Amazon rain forest, got stared at by the locals [...]

I came off mids this morning at 0615. I slept from 0623 until 0802. I know because I looked. The rest of the day has been spent prepping for the function here at the Marine house tonight at 1800. We’re selling pizza, draft beer, and even threw in a wine tasting event to determine the [...]

The experiment

I’m making banana bread. This is my first venture in baking since the Great Chocolate Chip Cookie Incident of 1995. It wasn’t a pretty sight. I got the recipe from dear old Dawn, my oldest sister. It is as follows: 2 eggs 1 cup white sugar 1/2 cup butter or margarine 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/4 [...]

More money. More sleep. Less work. More free time. I, I, I. Me, me, me. That’s what this post is all about. Come to think of it, that’s pretty much what every post is all about. This entire site included. I’m not talking about more money for myself necessarily, although that would be nice, but [...]

Somehow my weekly updates turned into biweekly. This was not my intention but it looks like it may be a necessary evil in the future. Classes officially began 5 June and, until I settle back into the time management portion of college “life,” I’m going to be swamped. I still haven’t received two books and [...]
Never any time

Eleven days isn’t all that bad when you consider the workload I’ve been under this past week and an update of this magnitude. Don’t give me grief. The SAI is finally over! Now I can concentrate on my time off, which just happens to get filled continuously with junk from every direction that I can’t [...]

Born in the year of the Dragon, the author grudgingly accepts the fact he has too many interests and not enough time. A cyclist as long as he can remember, an avid yet inconsistent writer since age eleven, and a U.S. Marine since age twenty-one, the author also adds computers, snowboarding, and motorcycles to his list of interests. Incidentally, he is aware of his inability to make a living from any but the Corps. The author accepts this as fact and remains optimistic. Feel free to drop him a line.
