Caught With Your Pants Down

Father O’Leary, an elderly priest, invited Father Diaz, a young priest, over for dinner. During the meal, Father Diaz couldn’t help noticing how attractive the houseboy was. Reading the young priest’s thoughts, Father O’Leary said: “I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my houseboy is purely professional.” About […]

Disclosure of Full Service Information

I think for the first time I have just become really pissed at UNCC’s information systems management department. I have had my @uncc.edu email account for over a year now and have been faithfully logging into 49er Express at least once per week. I had never been informed of any way to check that account […]

Trust

Where do I begin with this… I am discovering that I lack the ability to trust. I want to trust certain people in my life so much, but it seems out of my grasp. I have been telling myself that I trust Chris completely, but apparently that is only under certain circumstances. Any time he […]

Glazing Over

I don’t know that I have ever been as nervous in my time with ceramics as I was on Friday. It was finally time to do some glazing, something which sounds as simple as a trip to Krispy Kreme, but in reality for me was much more strenuous. I think I was more nervous for […]

A Bit of Humor

Got this joke via email earlier, I thought it was hysterical. — When Uncle Charlie died of old age, Bill was bequeathed his uncle’s prized Amazon parrot. This parrot was fully grown — with a bad attitude and a worse vocabulary. Every other word was an expletive. Those that weren’t expletives were, to say the […]

How hard is it to search a product catalog?

This is from an Amazon search I was performing while trying to find a replacement clip for my cordless phone. It would appear that A9 is more capable of searching Amazon.com than Amazon.com’s bult-in search utility.

Going Batty

Tonight I was spinning away at the wheel when after completing my 3rd piece I realized something: I don’t have nearly enough bats. Why is it that I have my bats in such short supply? I guess I should find an additional method for temporary storage of wet pieces (or finally give in to what […]

Time to Start a Family?

How old do people think I am? Yesterday one of my aunts asked me when I was going to start dating and have a family. What the fuck is wrong with people in my family? Just being over 20 is not a good reason to get someone pregnant and start that type of thing. Also, […]

Death of Hardware

The inevitable finally happened tonight, about 15 minutes ago I managed to kill my Kensington WebRacer touchpad pointing device (kinda like a mouse, but much cooler). Unforunately I can no longer find decent touchpads anywhere, so thus I am doomed to find a replacement that isn’t a touchpad. Up until a few days ago I […]

Missing the Floppy

Recently I decided to stop adding more individual card readers to my growing collection wired gadgets, and go for an “all in one” reader. As I sit here looking at this thing in my hand, I realize that while it resembles a floppy in its size and shape, there is a large amount of history […]
