I am, for all intents and purposes, monolingual. That is to say, I am only fluent in one language- English.
I know bits and pieces of many other languages. I took two years of Spanish in high school and three semesters in college. That was enough for me to (minimally) translate for my team when I [...]
I encourage you to read part 1 before reading this post.
Today, he announced that he has disabled anonymous commenting in response to my comment.
If he really wants to disallow anonymous comments, fine. But I honestly think this is kind of an immature way to handle the situation, particularly when the comment is clearly not spam [...]
It’s crazy what people can do on computers nowadays. Both good and bad. I mean, a person could install a key logger on a computer, and then use the information derived for either positive or negative purposes. It’s basically digital surveillance, and like all other forms of surveillance, there are both good and bad aspects. [...]
Awhile back, when we were dogsitting for Sadie (see December 2009 archives), I wrote a post joking about how I would dog-nap her and take her away to the oceanfront myrtle beach resorts. She is an awfully cute little schnoodle, and she makes me want a dog awfully badly.
Today I was looking through some of [...]
I don’t do it much.
I mean, come on, if you want to say it then you should have the guts to stand behind your words, right?
Anyway, tonight I was sorting through my rss reader, and reading some old blogs. I came across a blog that was set up by a family that used to go [...]
Awhile back I saw a really fascinating rerun of Bones where Dr. Brennan’s curiosity led to discovering an underground human organ trafficking program. It all started when Bones was introduced to a teenager who was dying of mesothelioma. Since mesothelioma virtually always appears in people who have been exposed to asbestos, and virtually always people [...]
All I can say is, this is low…
A West Highland White Terrier who was tied up momentarily outside a supermarket was mugged for his green wool coat.
Seriously, if you are literally stealing the coat off the back of a dog, you have reached a new low!
I have never ridden a motorcycle, and I don’t really have any desire to ride a motorcycle. It looks mildly interesting, but to me it is just too risky. I know lots of people ride motorcycles without a problem, but it’s just too risky for me. I don’t want to wind up in an accident. [...]
Lately I’ve become much more of a cook, and that’s why I noticed the counter and sink at my pastor’s house. They have a really neat stone sink and counter that is just really rugged. It’s not granite and it’s not formica- the most common types of counters. But it’s so solid. They can chop [...]
Last Christmas, I gave my father a Linksys WAP so that he could have wireless internet in his home. Our router and modem are both D Link, but we also bought them from our ISP. This WAP was so easy to set up, and has been so outstanding (no problems at all!), that I almost [...]
