ESPN has an interesting little article by Bill Walton telling LeBron James to stand up and get serious about winning. James isn’t acting like the superstar he’s supposed to be — he’s too interested in playing nice and being respectful to the league and his teammates. Walton argues — quite correctly — that real superstars […]

Who knew that Ludwig Wittgenstein was a composer? I’d love to hear this piece, even though it’s only 30 seconds long. I’d venture to say that Wittgenstein was one of the brightest people of the 20th century. Certainly there were specialists who achieved greatness in their fields, but examine the variety of things that he […]

Perhaps I’ve watched one too many X-Files, but I know I saw a black helicopter circling East Liberty tonight. I was riding home in the dark (since I went to the gym) along Penn Avenue when I heard the familiar whump whump whump of a helicopter overhead. I craned my neck to look at it, […]

so move along. This space has been pretty quiet lately, due to the combination of doing more construction than programming at work (we’re still at least 3-4 days away from starting to power up servers or even the network) and my involvement in the local gym’s bouldering competition. But I will pass along some news […]

Sorry about the lack of activity here lately — we’re moving into new offices at work (which also entails me becoming a laborer for company, doing painting and other remodeling work) , and my workstation hasn’t been up for about four days, and we’re busy helping the local gym get ready for a climbing comp. […]

I haven’t really written much about sports in general here, but a couple of things caught my eye this weekend…. First, Kobe Bryant and Shaquile O’Neal’s relationship has turned icy again. It’s been no secret that Shaq and Bryant have had problems sharing the spotlight in Los Angeles over the years, and that feud is […]

We finally got around to watching the Matrix Reloaded last night. It’s funny. Before Seb was born (right around the time the movie was released), we were very excited to see it. We had nearly worn out our copy of The Matrix. But then the boy was born and at least I suddenly didn’t care […]

One more week til we go to Bishop. WooHoo! It’s been about a month since we’ve bouldered out of doors, so we’re more than ready to climb on the fine granite on the east side of the Sierras. In other climbing news, The Climbing Wall, Inc. officially opened their new swanky bouldering area this weekend. […]
