Lately I’ve been watching the original Twilight Zone episodes. They were created by Rod Serling from 1959-1962, in black and white. I don’t think that I’ve seen any of them before. It’s possible that I saw some rerun episodes when I was very young and don’t remember them. The crazy part is that I know…

The new year started off strong with Rize, and I didn’t think I was going to find a better documentary for a while, but I didn’t have to wait long. I don’t know if it was better, but this documentary is well worth watching. It’s called “The World According to Sesame Street,” and it’s three…

As a resident of the Tri-Cities, I am close to the Hanford area and have access to a wide array of nuclear materials… What a great way to start off a story, huh? What really happened was last night I did some ballroom dancing and decided to play around a little. The DJ was doing…

Those who know me know I am an avid and well-rounded dancer (except Tango and line dancing. I’m not a fan of those, but I can honestly say I tried them and they just didn’t agree with me). I like ballroom, swing, latin, hip-hop, break, everything. I like bringing them together, too, and playing around…

The New Year has been treating me well so far. Today I woke up before my alarm clock, showered, had time to make sausage and eggs for breakfast, and got to work before 7. This is in sharp contrast to the past few months, when I was snoozing for an extra hour and a half,…

I stayed in Richland the night of the 23rd, and then left on the 24th to go down to Corvallis to be with other family for Christmas. The night that I arrived was when all the gift-giving took place. We did a Secret Santa thing so that each person would get something they wanted and…

I returned from D.C. on the 19th of December, had my marathon of work on the 20th, and took off on the 21st to go to Great Falls. It was an 8 hour drive, and there were some sketchy parts that go along with winter driving. On the road to Spokane, things started off great,…

On my way back from Tampa, I was fortunate enough to have an overbooked flight and a flexible schedule. I volunteered my seat for a flight 4 hours later, where I was given a first class seat and a free round trip ticket good anywhere in the 48 states and some money for lunch. So…

Back in November I went down to Tampa for work. The project is called InfoStar, and the purpose of the project is to provide information about the Supercomputing 2006 conference to conference attendees. The tricky part, though, is that it’s dynamic data from a variety of sources, it’s available to anyone with an internet-enabled device,…

Way back in April I played Safeway’s buy-one-get-one-free deal by splitting with the lady behind me, saving me a buck in the process (look back at April 27, 2006). This time I played a different hand and still did well. It turned out that I had thinned out my wallet before going to Washington D.C….
