    • UPS, they did it again! Because I'm paranoid after all the issues I've been having so far, I just logged into UPS's tracking site to check on the current state of my shipment. What. The. Fuck?!? ➡
    • Why ‘UPS’ is pronounced ‘Oops!’ All in all, an incredibly frustrating experience. A mysterious 9:10pm call on Friday to hold the package for pickup that I didn't make, and some twit this morning who didn't tell me what was actually happening. ➡
    • Clutter But...nothing I or my family has ever managed to come up with even comes close to comparing to this house. Amazing...and a little disturbing. ➡

    • NORAD? Um, nope! Looking at another page on the site, a more straightforward timeline of Sept. 11th, imagine my surprise when I saw a picture captioned 'Norad's war room in Cheyenne, Wyoming,' that, rather than being a picture of the Norad control room, is actually a screen shot from the 1983 adventure/suspense film Wargames! ➡
    • Two Dave Winer grumbles I don't have as many issues with Dave Winer as many other people seem to, but he does occasionally come up with something that I'm tempted to comment on. Today, I gave into the temptation… ➡
    • I'm (still) Gambit Through physical contact, Gambit can charge inanimate objects with kinetic energy, which is released on contact with explosive results. Gambit also has slightly enhanced agility and speed. ➡

    • Ugh…now what? Dammit -- no matter how well things are going, something always seems to come along to trip things up. ➡
    • TV time…kinda As always, there have been a couple additions to my movie collection over the past few days. Rather than actual movies, though, I'm catching up on some of the watchable shows that I miss due to the fact that I don't watch television. ➡
    • Told ya I’d get more in here Anyway, so that's it for the past few days. Nothing too earth shattering, but there's very little of that in my life these days anyway. Right now it's mostly a matter of counting the days until I visit Fairbanks in a couple weeks (weekend of May 18th), and until I finally leave this state to see how things are living in the lower 48 (sometime in mid-August). Can't happen soon enough for me. ➡
