What is your quest?

Another example of what happens when people have too much time on their hands. Geek factor: high.

Pop!

How can you hate Microsoft when they want to do something like this? Ironically, this article generates a pop-up.

Update....

After doing some "exploring," it looks like AmFam's web filter blocks anything that might be considered edgy. I wonder how edgy this blog would have to become before my own site got blocked?

Laugh at yourself....

I love a company that doesn't take itself too seriously and still makes a damn fine product. Read what other people have to say about them here.

The Web Gestapo....

Well, whoever does the web filtering for American Family Insurance has once again turned into the Web Gestapo. Most recently, they've blocked web comics such as Red Meat and Twisted Kaiju Theater. They also seem to be waffling on The Onion- some days it's open, some days it's blocked.

Clichés....

Well, this is interesting.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to Nerzhin and Pauline Santiago on the birth of their new son, Collin Gerald. He was born on Friday, October 31, 2003.

Pauline's water broke around 2 a.m. that morning, and called Maryanne and me. Maryanne met Pauline at the hospital, and waited for Nerzhin to arrive from his Army Reserve duties. Maryanne left the hospital around 6 a.m. and went straight to work.

The two of us picked up Amy and Luke after work Friday, and we went to see them in the hospital. Everyone was doing well, though Pauline was a bit grumpy since she wasn't given an epidural. Afterwards, the four of us had dinner at El Pastor.

The next day Maryanne and I got to drive to Minnesota for a wedding. We missed the ceremony due to detours, but the reception was nice. It was a bit crowded, and the food was fantastic. It could have been much worse, being in the middle of Vikings country, but thankfully the bride's family was from Green Bay. Sunday we were able to see Jenny and Gene, as well as Jenny's brother Zach, who just graduated from Army boot camp.

Speaking of Green Bay... how 'bout them Packers?
