So, we started off the week watching the Saints play the dirtiest game they could possibly muster against the Vikings. Literally, Gregg Williams admitted that his game plan was to have his guys ignore penalties and try to injure a 40 year old future Hall of Famer. I’d say that’s going to come [...]
Okay, so my old, exceptionally expensive laptop’s graphic cards blew up. Don’t work. Then my desktop died. Thankfully, in a pinch of spend craziness, I bought a sub-400 dollar netbook last year (MSi Wind, great netbook by the way)…and I used that to get myself a job. Had two offers on [...]
Allow me to provide a perspective for you from the perspective of someone who came dangerously close to the point of no return. This will most likely offend your sensibilities, so be warned.
Yes, it’s about society. More importantly, it’s about your society, and your social mores, and whether or not you participated in [...]
Okay, maybe that headline does real gamer nerds a disservice, as I only play one computer game anymore…when I have mental blocks and just don’t want to go outside for a bit.
So I play Fallout 3. It’s the last game I’ve paid for (almost a year ago). When you only play like one game, it’s [...]
So since the election, I’ve been hearing the same pseudo-racist whine from a lot of people that usually goes along with the tune “it ain’t easy being white”. Or some variation on that. People who say that make me want to slap the shit out of them. “Ain’t easy”? Just because a black guy is [...]
Given a couple days of thought after that last job, it became kind of apparent to me (and I knew this all along, but didn’t quite put two and two together about it), the previous place I worked, while I really liked the team and management, really didn’t know what the hell they were doing with Agile. They knew that it would help them with estimates, but if all your focus on is estimates, you’re just adding bureaucracy without adding the teamwork element that makes Agile a better development philosophy for many teams.
This is going to be a little bit of self-therapy, so bare with it…if you like.
It’s kind of always been the same…the places I love to work, rarely, if ever, love me back enough to really give me a chance to belong and stay, be a part of something. On the other hand, the places [...]
I start walking behind this asshole who is smoking while walking through the crowd. I try to get around him because my fucking eyes are burning from the low quality tobacco that he’s spewing out his nostrils. Then this little jackass prances up to me and says “We don’t allow pets down at the market anymore”. What the hell? I’m just trying to get through that mess.
