The inspiring thought of summer vacation…

Tuesday, July 30th, 2002

Ah, bear with me, I’ve got some random unrelated issues to discuss, while I emotionally prepare for my departure in a week for some much needed time off…
Almost a year later and where are we? The question everyone wants to be an expert on, and unfortunately feels compelled to try out. That was a self-defeating [...]

Sweatshop Stress

Thursday, July 25th, 2002

This sweatshop issue really stresses me out. Along with international coffee worker exploitation, it is an example of how multi-national corporations spare no expense whatsoever to exploit ANYTHING and EVERYTHING in the name of maximizing profits, to absurd and unecessary margins. The profit margin on clothing produced in sweatshops is already near 99.5%. So they [...]

Get your freak on

Wednesday, July 24th, 2002

After working 12+ hours a day for the last week I’m starting to think of priorities in life…at least long term priorites.
I figure that at its very simplest there are things to see and things to do. 100 things to do before you die will give you some good starting points, and enable you [...]

Burnt Out

Tuesday, July 23rd, 2002

Always it’s burning in the back of my mind…update the website, update the website. And then I have nothing to say so I fill the space with challenges to Ted Nugent and the like. Well, sorry, that’s life eh? Lot of dead time and you don’t know what to do or how to kill it. [...]

The Nuge has been invited to Magnum night

Wednesday, July 17th, 2002

And so it continues, my quest to box the Nuge. I haven’t heard from him yet so I sent him another email…maybe he’ll come to Magnum night next Tuesday? Stranger things have happened.
Ted,
Hey, yeah, it’s Cdub. Remember? I’m the guy that wants to box you. Yeah. I
live in Georgia, you know, the dirty south. What [...]

EXTRA! EXTRA! Man Under Stress to box Ted Nugent

Sunday, July 14th, 2002

The following is a transcript of THE email that I sent to Ted Nugent today.
Thus begins my campaign to box the Nuge in 1 year…
Ted,
How’s about a boxing match, little guy? Hey, it’s my right to request one, as just another obnoxious American like yourself, wanting to kick some ass for the hell of [...]

Gigathlon

Monday, July 8th, 2002

Gearing up for a half or full marathon this fall? Wuss. Triatholon. Pffff.
REAL atheletes choose the Gigathlon.
I dunno, 900 miles is ok, but can’t we somehow get the polar ice caps or the moon involved? I’ve always wanted to mountain bike in near zero gravity…
Then again what about merging one of these olympian events with [...]

new server echolima

Monday, July 8th, 2002

Sorry for the downtime. If anyone noticed that is… If a website goes down in the forest and no one is there to miss it was it really down?
I have changed hosting companies and what was supposed to be a transparent transition got a little mucked up. It’s actually quite interesting.
I’m hosting now with Echolima [...]
