  Star Trek — Can’t wait!

  Although I think Hollywood is dying a slow, painful (and well deserved) death, I love seeing all these modernized versions of older movies coming out, i.e., James Bond, Batman, and now Star Trek. Coincidentally, my daughter (11) has been showing more and more interest in the Star Trek franchise. She’s even been watching all the [...]

  The ultimate gift for a geek in training!
  P.S. I secretly installed Python on it when no one was looking; just in case she gets bored with Webkinz.

  Good times on Father’s Day

  Oh well, back to reality. Gotta love New England.

  And I’m really looking forward to it! Get this, I’ve been sick now for exactly 3 weeks and 1 day. Yeah! I finally got off my stubborn ass and went to the doctor today. To top it off, life has been extra hectic the last couple of weeks. A nice relaxing weekend of watching TV [...]
