The state of Georgia is having a Sales Tax Holiday this weekend, starting today. It seems to be geared towards school necessities, although computer stuff is included. I can see this boosting sales a bit, but not with any sort of long-term effects. But really, it means that I won’t be paying sales tax on [...]

It’s got a title, alright. It is more than an hour long and it has Thomas Jane in it. And it’s apparently about mutants, or something, I guess from the title. How bad can it be? I took two tylenol pm’s and watched it. I don’t know if that affected the review or not. Pretty [...]

One of my 500GB drives was acting wonky and wasn’t working very well, so I removed it from the fstab, and unlisted the partitions in windows. There was a funky HDD light on the front of my PC then, but no worries… until today when it not only didn’t want to work, but it also [...]

I’ve been plugging some random search queries into cuil.com and comparing the results to google’s. I do like cuil’s formatting; instead of a link list, it’s a little more well organized and intuitive, but the actual search results are sometimes lacking.

George Bush and $490 Billion dollar deficit: Sure the $170 Billion Stimulus Package increased the deficit drastically, but only because we Americans aren’t doing our jobs. That Stimulus Plan was supposed to boost our economy, not slow it down next year. The problem is, like a girl from the dirty-Jerse who had too much to [...]

I actually got around to reading some submissions for Hobson’s Choice #5 tonight. There have been a few that made me think I want this, and immediately fire off an acceptance. That being said, go ahead and submit something. Let me get lost in your dream. So once I get my tracking spreadsheets up to [...]

The Sleepy Horses is probably one of the most enthralling alternative country (is that even a fucking genre?) groups I’ve ever heard*. I’ve seen them live two or three times at the Stillwater Taproom, here in Augusta. I purchased this live album from them the first time I saw them and am absolutely in love [...]
