Going For The Duece

If you don’t have the time or desire to read a fair­ly long post from me, let me give you the short & sweet: don’t try and run two marathons in two weeks time. More impor­tant­ly, the next time you hear me talk­ing about doing some­thing like that, slap me and then make me read… Con­tin­ue read­ing Going For The Duece

Election Day 2006

Yeah, saw this on Kot­tke and jumped right on the band­wag­on. Okay, so we actu­al­ly had some pri­maries and such ear­li­er in the year, but today is the day that real­ly decides who rep­re­sents and leads us. I’m such a nerd when it comes to vot­ing and I nev­er miss an elec­tion any­more. I got… Con­tin­ue read­ing Elec­tion Day 2006

Marine Corps Marathon

Well, the big day kind of snuck-up on us. Angela had been get­ting over a ham­string injury pret­ty much all of Octo­ber and we had gone on vaca­tion ear­li­er last month. There­fore, when the end of the month came out of no where, we almost felt sur­prised that an entire month had gone by with­out… Con­tin­ue read­ing Marine Corps Marathon

Stephen Simmons Show

The Coal Men were sup­posed to be play­ing in Ash­land tomor­row night (the fourth), but as things hap­pened, that show fell through. How­ev­er, Tues­day before last, Dave called me up to let me know he’d be in town with Stephen Sim­mons to play a show on the 27th. I real­ly enjoyed Stephen’s show last time… Con­tin­ue read­ing Stephen Sim­mons Show

Our Alaska Trip

I fin­ished a nar­ra­tive of our trip to Alas­ka with more details than any­one would ever care about. How­ev­er, if you feel that the rest of the inter­ent is a lit­tle too excit­ing, then you might want to give it a read here. You can also read about many of our oth­er trips on my… Con­tin­ue read­ing Our Alas­ka Trip

My Google Shift

I’ve been slow­ly adopt­ing using Google’s office-like tools more and more. I know, G‑Mail is so last year, and it’s a bit sil­ly to just now be talk­ing about me get­ting into it. I have no real inten­tion of just giv­ing up my POP e‑mail account or stop­ping my use of Out­look to man­age e‑mails… Con­tin­ue read­ing My Google Shift

Mt. McKinley South Summit

Mt McKin­ley Sum­mit by Jason Cole­man — The view of the sum­mit from about 9,000 feet in a small air­plane. The wind was about 65mph at the peak to blow the snow off like that accord­ing to our pilot.

Aksimet Is Awesome

I know I’ve had a few short posts before about com­ment spam here before, and occa­sion­al­ly I still get some to come through. How­ev­er, Akismet has done a remark­ably good job of catch­ing almost all of them, and with only a sin­gle false pos­i­tive I’ve ever found (and that was because the com­menter had placed… Con­tin­ue read­ing Aksimet Is Awesome

A Chilly Twenty

Today was the final twen­ty mile run of this sea­son for me. I was sched­uled to run it yes­ter­day, but we had rain all day and the tem­per­a­ture stayed around 50°F. The run got can­celled to pre­vent any­one from get­ting hypother­mia (four hours in that weath­er wear­ing noth­ing but a t‑shirt and shorts can eas­i­ly… Con­tin­ue read­ing A Chilly Twenty

Battlestar Great-showica

The main cast of Bat­tlestar Galac­ti­ca on the set of the Galac­ti­ca’s hang­er. I just fin­ished watch­ing the Sea­son Three pre­miere of Sci­Fi Chan­nel’s Bat­tlestar Galac­ti­ca. I just want to go on the offi­cial record to say that BG is the great­est show ever on tele­vi­sion. That’s right, bet­ter than The West Wing.
