We only got 4 trick-or-treaters tonight (and 3 of them actually wished me Happy Kwanzaa when I opened the door). You know what the best part of Halloween is these days (in my opinion)? EGG NOG!!! I made a quick run to the grocery store tonight and they had it out, it wasn’t there when I [ READ MORE ]
I realize this probably isn’t the place I will ever get the answer I am looking for, but just in case… I have a MySQL table with a primary key index on id. I would like to, for example, retrieve items with IDs 1, 7, and 4 in that order. I have tried SELECT * FROM my_table [ READ MORE ]
I just read today about Stanford on iTunes. This could be huge. I think it is great that Stanford has made some of their content available (for free) and even better that iTunes is providing the means of distribution. Sharing is great. [ READ MORE ]
Rachel found this quiz, but isn’t going to post about it… You scored as Capt. Mal Reynolds. The Captain. You are the captain of the ship, so the crew are your responsibility. You just want to do the job, get paid and keep flying. Why is that always so hard?Capt. Mal Reynolds81%Kaylee [ READ MORE ]

Clearly I am no good at picking the teams I want to win. Before the league series I stated that I wanted to see a St. Louis – Los Angeles World Series. Didn’t get it. And I wasn’t too successful in my division picks either. Oh well. Should be a good series. Two teams that [ READ MORE ]
Tonight I ventured into the city (San Francisco) alone to find the Apple Store for my computer needs and Chipotle for my withdrawals. The trip satisfied both. It had been at least six weeks since I was fortunate enough to go to either place (and I missed them both). The cheapest way to get to the [ READ MORE ]
Most of my family was up at Graceland’s Homecoming this past weekend and decided to wish me a happy birthday, or in this case a ‘Birthday Happy’. You can see all the photos from the weekend on my dad’s flickr site. Thanks guys. Oh, and that is Lee (not family), my uncle Orval, and Nicole, [ READ MORE ]
It is my 25th birthday today. We don’t have anything too special planned for the day. We were going to walk downtown to the Saturday Market (our usual Saturday routine), but it has been raining a little and looks like more is on the way. Instead I think we are going to go over to [ READ MORE ]
