Wow! I just won the ass-in-chair marathon. Non-stop work from 8AM yesterday until 7PM today. Nearly 36 straight hours. Only a short sleep the previous night (about 3 hours) and you can repeat today in yesterday’s slot. For those keeping score, draw a smiley with 2 ‘x’-es for eyes. [...]

Something about having to start all over at 4 in the morning just doesn’t seem right.

A matter of time before some joker made some puerile comment about the WWII atomic bomb-drops. What would clownie-boy be saying about the United States’ human rights record had the U.S. invaded Japan to end the war and millions and millions would have lost their lives?

Three nights, five calls, one rebooted PC, two bugs: I work from home, but I don’t set my own hours.

What’s up with all of these super-babies? Unbelievable! What’d you feed ‘em, raw egg milk shakes and slimfast between meals?

AOL/Time Warner reported the single-largest annual loss for a corporation in history, largely due to a $35B write-down of the value of AOL. The total reduction in the value of the company’s assets for the year: $100B. Ted, exit stage left.
Now that’s HUGE, folks.
I’ve read a few articles on this, and [...]

Why The Fuck?
January 30th, 2003 ·
Why the fuck am I still working after midnight?
I screwed myself over at work today by being a dumbass. It could have been exhaustion or starvation, but it was totally my fault. That was fun.
I didn’t drink anything for 14 straight hours in a de-humidified, freezing environment and my lips got so chapped [...]

Tension and Fame’s a Career Korea Korea Korea
January 29th, 2003 ·

January 29th, 2003 · 10 Comments
I just found this web site for Charles Brewer’s (former Mindspring CEO and Mullet-head) new development project, Glenwood Park.
This development is located very near our old house in a disused section of urban Atlanta and, quite frankly, looks really kick ass. One could dis for the “theme park” quality, but hey, it’s better [...]

More Wackiness from the UN

Those UN bureaucrats must have a great sense of irony. This is worse than Libya: Iraq will soon be the chair of the UN Conference on Disarmament.

Two Things Annoying Me Right Now
January 28th, 2003 ·
Books about weblogs—Sorry to anyone who has written one of these or contributed to one. In fact, I respect you for doing so and read many of your weblogs on a regular basis. However, it’s just not… there. I don’t see much reason for a book about weblogs, nor am I [...]
