I am so upset right now!
So, today was the USA vs. Italy World Cup Game. Huge game for the USA. HUUGE. Biggest of my lifetime. Really big. I invited some friends over. I went to pick up some food to grill and waited for them to arrive. My friends were late showing up due to horrendous LA traffic, but I had […]

This Never Happens
My brother-in-law and his old friend from New York were running some errands in town when my brother-in-law saw a car just like his friend used to drive. “Wayne, that looks like your old car.” “Dude! That is my old license plate. That IS my car!” They tailed the person a few miles to some […]

Only Idiots Will Buy a PS3
Excuse me if I offend anyone, but you would seriously have to be some kind of moron to buy a PS3 for twice the price of a much better Xbox 360: Sony has flat out lied to its fans that they were going to launch this March, when everyone in the industry knew it wasn't going […]

6/6/6
I just realized that it is VERY possible that my son could be born on 6/6/6! How cool is that? Being a huge Iron Maiden fan half of my life, I have grown up with the song “The Number of the Beast”. My son could have such a number as his birthday. Wow. Every time […]

Trade Your iPod
I would like to trade my iPod for a day with different people I know. It would be great way to get exposed to knew music, flirt (if you are trading with a potential hottie) and spice up your day. Maybe there should be a “Trade Your iPod Day”?

Find and Delete Duplicates in SQL
We all know we shouldn’t have duplicates in the database. And despite my best efforts, somehow they sneak in from some legacy code, or from the hyper-active-compulsory-submit-the-form-fifty-times-in-five-seconds-bloke. So now and then I find myself writing the same SQL to track them down. Most solutions online say that you have to use a temporary table or […]

Jury Duty Thoughts
I am not about to complain about having to serve Jury Duty. I am a citizen of this country, and that is a duty of citizenship. And things are nicer now then when I first served. Now it is “one day-one trial”. I don’t know if that is a California guideline, but it means I […]

Sopranos, March 12
Wow, how many years has it been? Like 12? Well now a new generation can learn cuss words from my favorite Italian family (except for the Micelli’s from Who's the Boss? ). New season starts next week. Thank goodness; with Project Runway ending I didn't know what I was going to do with myself.
