Longest URL I've ever seen!

I went to check out a web page for a local Microsoft event that I was interested in. Here’s the actual link (can’t Microsoft figure out a way around something like this?): http://www.microsoft.com/events/EventDetails.aspx?CMTYSvcSource=MSCOMMedia&Params=%7eCMTYDataSvcParams%5e%7earg+Name...

9/11 again...

Traveling tomorrow...

Sitting down for a face-to-face meeting with some TT folks tomorrow, so my availability will be severely limited. If you don’t get a response to something right away, just wait a bit. BTW: I will be meeting the infamous PP tomorrow. He, Paul G and I will be having lunch together.

My shop teacher told me in high school...

Lowell Prater was his name. At the time, I thought he was completely nuts. But, today I just realized how utterly sane he was. He once said to a classroom full of shop students (because, yes, we “chimped” back then, too): “Do you know who the monkey leader in the jungle is?" We looked...

Funny stuff...

It’s amazing to find out the people that read my web blog — particularly when I post something about starting fires. I won’t list names here, but I appreciate the read. Seriously! Folks come out of the wood-work to give me tips and tricks for BURNING things. Must be the whole Cro-Magnon...
