New Site is Up!

Friday, May 28th, 2004

The new site has been up now for over a week and things seem to be working fine, so I decided to go ahead and set it up so there would be something to look at. I hope to have a new template and design worked out for the site shortly so that it [...]

Rejection Letters

Thursday, May 27th, 2004

Thanks to Brandon once again for finding Ned Batchelder’s reference to John Kador’s Rejection of Rejection Letter. I think John needs to come up with a second version for all those companies that don’t even send a rejection letter. “Because I have yet to receive a rejection letter from your firm, I am [...]

Professional Athletes with Diabetes

Wednesday, May 26th, 2004

This article from SportzNutz.com talks about several professional athletes with diabetes. I found the section on Jason Johnson was particularly interesting. There are several articles actually on the internet concerning him as well as many articles about Ron Santo.

Diabetes and Baseball Players

Wednesday, May 26th, 2004

In researching diabetes related articles, I was curious to find out if any professional baseball players are or were type 1 diabetics. One article was about a minor league pitcher, David Pember. As an additional plus for him, he’s obviously a believer.

Staying at Scottish Rite

Sunday, May 23rd, 2004

Well, here at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta — Scottish Rite Hospital, I have finally found an internet connection. I get a little wireless signal on an open network while in Grayson’s room but it doesn’t seem to be enough to hold the connection up and the routing wasn’t working to get out to the [...]

Battle of the Biking Politicians

Saturday, May 22nd, 2004

I took a moment to catch up on the world events that have transpired in the last 24 hours since we had headed down to the ER. Reading that President Bush had fallen while mountain biking made me laugh a bit. But really only because I find him once again to be more [...]

Sarin Weapon Ignored?

Wednesday, May 19th, 2004

Apparently, Linda Chavez is wondering the same thing that I am wondering which is why are the news outlets downplaying the discovery of a Sarin based chemical weapon? Foxnews.com is all over it — showing it as their top story — but you can’t even find a direct mention of it on CNN.com. [...]

Goodbye Comcast

Monday, May 17th, 2004

Well, Comcast decided that due to a billing mistake, I was getting too good a deal for my high-speed internet. The two separate mistakes included modem rental feeds and the fact that I was not a cable subscriber. As it turns out, they feel I should have been charged $15 more than [...]

Kerry: Administration’s ‘Laxity’ Led to Iraq Abuse

Thursday, May 13th, 2004

As if we needed more proof that every negative event will be blamed directly on Bush by Democrats — Kerry: Administration’s ‘Laxity’ Led to Iraq Abuse. This is so rediculous it’s almost funny. But mostly I am furious. To think that Kerry could come out and say that the President of the [...]

Yet Again, Proof the Mac’s are for Liberals

Thursday, May 13th, 2004

Burried in this article about various political things is a note about Apple founder, Steve Jobs being a campaign advisor for John Kerry. This once again proves my point that perhaps Macs really are for liberals.
