Three Years Later...

So, this blog still exists, apparently...

Raspberry Pi: Episode 4 (A New Hobby)

Welcome back, stupid viewers! (That's a quote from Space Ghost Coast to Coast)

So, to finally make good on one of the originally-stated purposes of this blog, I'm going to start posting things about the Raspberry Pi-centric home automation project I've started.

This is a Raspberry Pi:

I'll have much more to say, and links and junk, in an upcoming post which will not be authored from my iPhone like this one is.

Staaaaagnation!

So.  You may have noticed a somewhat marked lack of prolificness on this blog.

How To Tell a TV Series will be Terrible

"A (insert TV network) Original Series!"

even worse:

"A (insert TV network) Original Miniseries!"

The ultimate kiss of sucktasticness:

"A (insert TV network) Original Movie!"

Gig: Urban Ministries of Durham

I play bass in a small jazz combo that occasionally performs at the Urban Ministries of Durham soup kitchen, located at 410 Liberty St. We're playing tonight from about 6:30 to 8, so swing by and listen for a bit!

iPhone

Yesterday I skipped out from work just a tad early to go to the Verizon Store to buy an iPhone 4S and move my service from AT&T to Verizon.

Alas, iPhone 4Ses are on back-order, and I won't get mine till probably next week. But it's paid for now, and soon (oh, so soon!) I will be able to give AT&T the left foot of fellowship RIGHT IN THE KEYSTER.

In other news, I'm buying a house, and closing is next Wednesday. Squee! (A very manly squee, you know...)

Bad Science

I hate when science fiction shows display bad science.

Rant: Triangle Expressway

Trust North Carolina to take an ordinarily decent idea (toll roads) and screw it up just a little.

Restaurant Review: Arby's, Hillsborough Rd

Behold, the first of many reviews of area restaurants.  Today's victim is Arby's, located at 3311 Hillsborough Rd, Durham, NC.  I give it 4 out of 5. Hit "read more" for the full story!

Welcome!

Welcome to My Triangular Life.

I'm a resident of Durham, North Carolina, which forms one of the points of the region known as Research Triangle Park.  The Triangle, as it's affectionately known, hosts a vast array of technological, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, and research-oriented corporations (among others).  The surrounding cities (Durham, Raleigh, and Chapel Hill) host universities, businesses, churches, playgrounds, and—of course—people.

It's my hope to use this blog to talk about things I see around me in the greater Triangle area.  By reading my blog, you'll see rants about things that piss me off, reviews of restaurants and businesses I visit, and whatever other nonsense rattling about in my head that I decide to foist upon you.

So!  Thanks for reading.  Tell your friends about me.  Leave comments.  Also, breathe in and out regularly; I find it to be a rather important habit to form early on.
