Okay, so Christmas spirit has been running a little low this year.

Until, that is, I saw that NORAD is tracking Santa.  I always knew that a guy with the kind of technology it would take to circumnavigate the globe in a single night, breaking into houses to deliver presents, then sneaking off to his secret arctic base just had to be a government contractor.

My laptop saved me.

What level is your blog at?

Apparently, my blog is at the Junior High level, which is about right. I try to write simple so folks understand. Besides, I write most of my entries at about the same level as USA Today. Oh, wait...

Just for myself.

Or, fired even.

Okay, so no one wants to get fired. (Well, that's not quite true. I actually had someone ask me to lay him off once, but that's another story.) Still, sometimes, market forces back employers into a corner and they have no choice but to "help employees find other opportunities to excel". So, what do you do when that happens? Well, an article over at TechRepublic has several suggestions:

#1: Get everything the company owes you

The sale over at Threadless has been extended a couple of days.

Well, according to the doctor, I'm still okay.

Actually, when I finally got the results of my PET scan, the results were better than "okay". It seems that the scar tissue on my lung from the lymphoma has actually reduced and there's active, visible healing going on there. So, I'm clean for another three months, when I'll do this again.

Time!

It's that time of year again!

I assess the power of a will by how much resistance, pain, torture it endures and knows how to turn to its advantage.

I love quoting Nietzsche.
