What an exciting day of work!  I was sitting here minding my own business then *ZAP*, electricity in the hotel was gone.  I figured it was just a circruit breaker, which happens in old hotels.  I sent the head housekeeper to all the floors to check, and nothing was wrong, just no power. I called the [...]

My blogging has hit a wall recently.  When I started this blog I had every intention to post every single day.  A blog means something different to everyone, but to me, a blog is supposed to be personal little stories, ideas, thoughts, things about your day.  Somewhere along the line, I lost that original approach.  I [...]

Now, I would never be confused with an environmentalist, but this is a little crazy. I recently ordered some cabling from Circuit City, and also Sweetwater.  When I saw the massive Circuity City box on my doorstep, I thought someone had made a mistake and sent me the wrong stuff. I decided to open the box [...]

Today, while hopelessly trying to reformat my PC, I was alarmed by the urgent ringing of my doorbell.  It was one of those doorbell rings that only friends and family do, where they push it so rapidly the chime starts to give out under the stress. So I threw on some pants (so I didn’t have [...]

So what is a “tool bag”?  In order to define a tool bag, we must first define a “douche bag”, and from there I will explain the difference between the two. A douche bag is the scientific name for people who show up in public wearing wife-beaters or oversized jeans. They can also be found wearing [...]

While working on one of his inventions, a colleague asked Thomas Edison why most of his inventions failed.  Thomas Edison replied something along the lines of, “None of my inventions have failed, I’ve just proven hundreds of methods that don’t work.”  I love this quote.  If Edison had quit working on his inventions when one [...]
