Who knew a line of coke was cheaper than beer in the U.K.?

What level of "Butt" do you rank your serving?
By James on 3/24/2008 1:30 PM

In terms of vague measurements we use in daily conversation, I got to wondering what the actual hierarchy should be for the following.  What is bigger in terms of size – a Boatload, a Buttload, an Assload, or a Shitload?

 

Boatload – This signifies a large measurement as in “I had a boatload of fries at lunch”.

&nbs ...

The King of Kong
By James on 3/21/2008 11:15 AM

With movies being so subjective, I tend not to review them on this site but there is a documentary out there that simply is begging for me to spread the word.  I had read very positive reviews about The King of Kong but with my Netflix queue being so full of other movies I want to see, documentaries as of late have gotten the brushoff.   Earlier this week I decided to check it out via the Netflix Viewer (available for a small portion of their catalog) and after 5 minutes I was hooked.

More beer recommendations
By James on 3/18/2008 8:35 PM

A few years ago I ranked my top beers at the time and while I don’t want to bump any of those out of my hall of fame, I wanted to give a shout out to four breweries that have made their products available in Georgia after I wrote that initial blog post.  These four breweries really stand out for reasons I’ll state below and if your state offers these brews, I highly recommend you give them a shot.  During this terrible short ...

Pause

I apologize for the lack of posts this week but we are dealing with a sick infant since Friday.  With her discomfort, all of our lack of sleep, and still having to put in a full workweek, blog entries for the next day or so will be spotty at best.  Please bear with me as we try to figure out what is wrong with our daughter.

Happy Leap Year Day

Does this entry even count since it's written on a day that only comes once every 4 years?

Business casual

It can be argued either way that we have progressed or regressed when it comes to how people dress at work.  Before I delve into this, let’s discuss a key overriding factor to all of this.  Regardless of how one dresses, it’s your work output and quality that counts the most.  Someone can be a snappy dresser and be an utterly inferior worker with a lack of work ethic.  The smartest guys I’ve come across in the I.T. world tend not to be the most formal dressers and it makes no difference since they’re creating software code to make the world an easier place to live and work in.

To Keep or To Let Go?

Note to those not familiar with me – this is written strictly tongue-in-cheek.  I would never sell my daughters to the highest bidder…unless it was a really insane offer that we couldn’t refuse.

Two Buck Chuck and WTF?
By James on 2/6/2008 1:23 PM
I’m about to head to Raleigh for work the remainder of the week so I’ll try to post something Thursday and Friday but no guarantees.  Since I need to leave for the airport soon, today’s post are two random photos.

The first is a bottle of Trader Joe’s wine that I accidentally knocked the cork into the bottle.  Long story short, we got this cool wine opener where it grabs the neck of the bottle and as you pull the lever 180 degrees, the corkscrew goes into the cork and then pulls it out, all with only one motion by the user.  Not being a wine expert, I’m not sure where the Trader Joe’s wine ranks among sophisticated wine drinkers but the general public seems to really like it.  I’m curious if any wine enthusiasts out there will say either “This stuff is very decent for its price” or “Dude, that shite is one step above fortified wine.”  To my untrained palate, the merlot and shiraz taste fine bu ...
