Tastes like burning…

I burned my tongue on steamed soy milk this morning that I was frothing for my caffeine injection. I’m now eating a salad with vinegar on it. Yes, Ralph, it does taste like burning.

FreeSSL and ChainedSSL with Yahoo! Store

Just in case anyone out there is wondering, Yahoo! Store Real Time Delivery and Real Time Inventory don’t work with FreeSSL or ChainedSSL certificates. Oh, and four o’clock in the morning is not the appropriate time to figure that out.

I can finally talk about the Pepper Pad!

OK, so I’ve been living under a rock for the past two weeks. Or, more specifically, basking in the ambient radiation of multiple monitors during 70- to 90-hour work weeks. We hit code freeze, started bug squashing, unveiled the Web site, launched the Pepper Keeper, and announced the Pepper Pad, a Linux-based mobile Wi-Fi device […]

Breakfast and lunch…

Today’s lunch consisted of a few slices of turkey, a salad with bleu cheese dressing, shredded cheddar, and a small wedge of smoked Gouda. Breakfast was a few nibbles of the aforementioned this morning while I was packing it up.

You know the scene from Office Space where Peter walks up to the front door of the facility, gingerly reaches out to the door handle, then gets a massive shock? Yeah…just like that. But worse. I actually got shocked […]

Highway flaming death…

It took me half an hour to drive three miles this morning. 495, 125, and 97 are all parking lots. There are traffic jams on residential side streets! The dusting of snow we received has caused chaos and mayhem across the state. Multiple accidents SmarTraveler is reporting that there are multiple accidents on 495. Multiple […]
