Look very closely.

Griffey is a cat we take care of for a friend every now and then. He is quite adept at using psychological warfare to get you to pay attention to him. He is a worthy adversary.


Another shot of Starin Hall at UW-Whitewater.

UW-Whitewater’s new residence hall is coming along quite nicely. Kaela and I will be moving in sometime this summer.

Down for the Count

Let us take a moment and recognize the greatness of a fellow artist named poopbear. In this image Sesame Street’s The Count plants a good one across Twilight’s Edward.

One! One knuckle-sammich! Ha! Ha! Ha!

This post is for personal reference. I always forget how to mount NTFS volumes using Xubuntu Linux at work. Open the terminal and type in the following commands.

sudo fdisk -l
sudo mkdir /media/windows
sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows -t ntfs

hda1 may be different depending on the system

Works with Xubuntu 9.0.4.


A first generation iPod donated to my collection by Kaela’s father. Holds 5gb of music and is Mac compatible only. Reviewers originally panned the iPod claiming that users would not be able to manage that much music, that $500 was too much and the music industry would never offer digital music.

Oh how they were wrong. Apple is now the leading digital music distributor.


Kaela’s famous chicken enchiladas. Contains chicken, red peppers, onions, verde sauce and other secret ingredients. Sides include tortilla chips, beans, rice and guacamole. For an added kick I add two types of habenero sauce and tabasco.
