This weekend I finally got around to doing some housecleaning. You see, I have this one closet that has nothing but mementos and other misc. stuff from over the years. With a critical eye, I set out to thin out the boxes by 6, leaving enough room in the closet for a new file cabinet to get better organized. Well Saturday, I accomplished the thinning…
April 23, 2001Today at Club Josh, I launched the expanded AvantGo channel page. Now you can choose all or part of the PDA site to synch. I have had these URLs sitting around for weeks, but I finally posted them. I will probably organize it better when I get some free time or think about it more. The next site up for revamp is either the Charo…
April 20, 2001I am quite fond of Marie Calender’s cornbread. I think it is my mother’s fault since she used to make it when I was in my formitive years. Now why is it that all of the Marie Calenders in my area all get the B rating? I pretty much try and avoid B places, but sometimes….sometimes I get a hankerin’ for the cornbread and gotta…
April 19, 2001Today is the 95th anniversary of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake. There are not too many survivors left to tell the harrowing tale of the massive 7.5-8.3M quake (no one really knows the actual size and theories vary). It lasted for 60 seconds and ruptured 430km of the San Andreas fault. In some places, fences were offset 20 feet. Quirky note from SFGate: In May…
April 18, 2001I am convinced that the person who decided on the new colors for my apartment building is on crack. We used to have a nice simple building where all the doors were sorta foam green and the exterior walls were a nice yellowish-cream colored. Over the last month or so they have been painting a new scheme: Interior doors to apartments are still foam green,…
April 17, 2001Back from one of the greatest natural wonders in the world. The last time I was in Yosemite was in 1989 or so with my friend Kris. We drove out one day and went for a quick hike up to Vernal and Nevada falls. Upon returning, one thing I noticed was how smaller things looked. Maybe it is one of those perspective things, and the…
April 16, 2001It is amazing, but when you stay up until 3am at work and then have to go back to work the next morning, the feeling is eerily similar to a hangover. This morning I was pleasantly surprised to see my Club Josh T-Shirt in the mail. It came out great so order up! I have been looking into combining stores into one page so I…
April 13, 2001In addition to the self-inflicted chin scrape suffered earlier this week, this morning I added some scraped knuckles on my left hand. I am a creature of habit. When I shower I usually have a pattern I follow. This minimizes how awake I need to be in the morning while getting ready for work. (I have a separate “don’t care how long I take” routine…
April 12, 2001My favorite commercial on television is again for Pacific Bell DSL. A mother comforts her deaf child as he clutches his dog. She tells him she’s sure that the neighbors are friendly. An elderly woman next door peers out the window and determined to be friendly, logs onto her modem connection to view some sign language video. Of course its choppy and slow, but she…
April 11, 2001In my wanderings around the Internet, I have found a couple of relic theme parks that have websites. It is interesting to think that there is not much separating these pages from my Doingworld pages. I guess I should work on an attractions list and then no one will know the difference. Check out: Freedomland USA Pleasure Island
