Here are some emails that were going around recently. They're pretty funny. Some minor editing has been done to fix spelling and formatting.

Subject: RIP: Dave
In case you haven't heard yet, Dave died yesterday. This marks the end of a brilliant career as a marketer, and entrepreneur. Will this mean that the question that has been bugging us for months will go unanswered? Will it be a Spicy Chicken Sandwich, or a South West Burger (i think it was this, i liked the SCS)? [Ed: this is wrong -- it's the bacon cheddar burger or the double cheddar also available with extra cheddar] I sure hope Mr. Thomas filmed the resolution to this cliffhanger before he passed away of liver cancer at the age of 69 in Florida.
And a reply:

Dave died?? What the hell kind of crap is this?! And I was just talking to him yesterday. Geez, what a way to find out someone so close to you is dead. But thanks for the heads up, Matt, I'll give my parents a call tonight and let them know, I hope that he didn't suffer.

The weather outside's delightful, The traffic is really freightful, Let it snow Let it snow Let it snow
So... I descided to ride my bike home from work. A little bit of chipping ice off of it, it was ready to go. So, i started off into the parking lot, finding it quite difficult to pedal. In fact, i was pedalling like mad

Carrying the Shadow
I just wrote a system to help me write this journal. Let me know what you think about it.
I will not load random versions of kernel modules.

Yes, today i loaded an app that required some new functionality from one of the kernel modules. So, what did i do? Install them too... Sigh. Fortuneately, no data was lost (i think), and recovery took only an hour or so...

So... I descided to ride my bike home from work. A little bit of chipping ice off of it, it was ready to go. So, i started off into the parking lot, finding it quite difficult to pedal. In fact, i was pedalling like mad mad and going nowhere. Looking down, i discovered that my chain was hanging limply around my sprockets. By applying simple knot theory, i quickly determined that one of two things must have happened: a quantum event had caused my chain to pass through a sprocket, or my deraileur had broken. By Occam's razar, the conclusion was obvious...
I just did a presentation on Italian Architecture. Perhaps you'd like to check out some of the photos!
It's been a long time since i wrote a web page... Mostly, because i didn't have anything in particular to write about. However, i now have a few ideas (and lack of other means of publication). I hope to have here some slides of my latest trip, and the occational story, rant, or other interesting tidbit.
