Sure, I wish I were smarter and engaged in all kinds of big-brained stuff. But this?
Ten Millionth Fibonacci Number
Dude…my hat is off to you. I still can’t get my head around that.

For those of you who don’t live in Utah and don’t have any idea who Larry H. Miller is, let me clue you in. He owns the Utah Jazz basketball team, about a bazillion car dealerships, shopping malls, movie theater megaplexes, a chain of sports apparel stores, a local sports arena, and tons of […]

more fast food idiocy

Wednesday, January 3rd, 2007

Ok, so I have ranted about Subway before, but this is a little different. I was driving past one the other day and saw a sign out in front. It was one of those signs with the big plastic letters you put on yourself. It said “NOW HIRING DAYZ”
That’s right…”DAYZ”
Fine, maybe they […]

I realize everybody is probably already familiar with this particular product but Jen showed it to me the other day and I am still chuckling.

I fully realize that in a couple of weeks these links will most likely be moved, so get ‘em while you can:
I am no gun nut, believe me, but this is pretty messed up.
Get this…a guy watching his girlfriend’s 5-month-old baby girl leaves the room to go talk to his dad and puts a baggie […]

I remember when I updated this site every day. Hell, I remember when I used to make many entries a day and save some of them as drafts to post later so I wouldn’t burn them all up at the same time. Funny what being a SAHD will to do you. Most […]

this pisses me off

Sunday, February 12th, 2006

According to this story, an elementary school music teacher in Bennett, CO (population 2,400) decided to expose some of her class, 2nd & 3rd graders, to opera by showing them parts of a 1973 series titled “Who’s Afraid of Opera”.
Sounds like a good thing, right?
