New link to Jake’s Corner

I actually just recently made a post linking to Logan’s blog: It’s Good to be in N.D. (The Firefighters’ Muster Video.) I have now actually linked to his blog directly on my left side links. If you haven’t read his blog before, make sure to do so. Logan is a fairly recent import to ND. [...]

What does the internet do for you?

It’s actually an interesting question to ask yourself. “What does the internet do for me?” News, entertainment, keeping in touch, games, etc. The potential list goes on for a while. The post about abandoning myspace came after sitting down and asking myself that exact question. “What was I really getting out of the time I [...]

New dedication to this site

I will paste below this, my “myspace” post. The gist is however, I would rather upkeep this blog, than the mired mess of other social profiles I have managed to get myself into. In all reality, I have overbooked myself. I tried to upkeep this site, myspace, facebook, firefigher nation, deviantART, work blogs, (play World [...]

Stupidity – No shortage in the news

Ok, so the stupidest thing I have read all week, topped what I thought was going to be the stupidest thing I had read in the news. A 14 year old girl is filing a $30mil suit against myspace.com over being assaulted by a 19 year old guy. We have heard stories like this before… [...]

St. Patricks day.

In case you don’t know why St. Patricks day is celebrated… or you are bored sitting at work… shhh I will not tell… here are a couple of links with a good basic history of the holiday: http://www.historychannel.com/exhibits/stpatricksday/?page=history http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Patrick’s_Day The symbol of shamrocks: An Irish tale tells of how Patrick used the three-leafed shamrock to [...]

A few things to ponder…

So I got a little behind on my things to ponder. I am of the opinion it is because I was thinking too much. Irrision and ThatEdeGuy thought it was because I wasn’t thinking enough… so the super long ponder-post today is all their fault. IM programs. That is something for us to ponder. That [...]

Ahhh Nap Wednesday

Well the downside is I have to cover the Sat shift (10am-2pm), but it did mean I didn’t have to come in till 1pm today.  Heh, so it was a rather nice and lazy day.   I did a little work around the house, but mostly got to catch up on some sleep. So – what [...]

New movie Tues

I have been wondering – why is it movies come out for rent on Tuesday? Why not a Thursday or a Friday night, which usually people rent more movies on? Do they think that then the rush will be less so there is a greater chance that everyone will get to see the movie they [...]

Java is yummy?

Well in its coffee form, yes. Though in the morning I am more of a Mt. Dew drinker. Anywho – my new project has been to attempt to relearn programming. I remember some of the C++ and Visual Basic I learned in college… but not enough to convince myself that I know how to program. [...]

Fargo or Jamestown? Balancing needs with wants

I decided to repost my comments to a story on ThatEdeGuy’s blog. Mostly because he hit on a topic that is hot in North Dakota, but I feel has little useful things done about it in the political realm. He is advocating people moving to places like Jamestown. Now I might be repeating some of [...]
