Offroading in Uwharrie Again
I went with Andy and Bryan Garland to Uwharrie yesterday. This time I rode along in Andy’s Jeep so we could check out some of the trails marked “difficult” and “extremely difficult” We couldn’t make one of the difficult trails, nor the extremely difficult trail. We made everything else no problem. Here is the hill…

DC Heather Visits Again! (Finally)
I’ve been sending DC Heather (from here on out known simply as Heather) reminders to come visit me. More accurately, I setup a cron job to send her emails periodically. It was a quick little bit of shell scripting that I enjoyed. Woo scripting things. I decided to make the messages more insistent, and hilarious…

Jeeping in Uwharrie
I went Jeeping in Uwharrie with Andy, Bryan Shapess, and Bryan Garland. It was a pretty awesome time, even though it was very wet. There was a lot of slipping and sliding. The downhill sections were treacherous. Have you ever tried to guide 5000 lbs of sliding steel down a 50 foot slope when the…

What to read?
I finished the Dune series, and the Sword of Truth series. I have a kindle and I was looking for something to read. I downloaded the Sword of Shannarra series. I am extremely disappointed. Not that it is a bad series, but it just doesn’t live up to Sword of Truth or Dune at all…

Rabbit, Run – Saying the wrong thing
I’m reading John Updike’s Rabbit Run. It makes me think of a subject I’ve wanted to write about for a while now: Saying the wrong thing. Have you ever had a moment in a conversation where you knew exactly what the wrong thing to say was? The thing that would bring complete silence to the…

Time – Growing Up
Lately people from my high school have been finding me and adding me via myspace or facebook. If I remember having a conversation with the person I’ll usually accept their friend request. I get some requests though that are from people I can’t remember ever even meeting. This makes me wonder, do they remember me?…
