Gerhard Weinberg & The Secret Dialogue Of Footnotes

October 19, 2004

I’m one of those geeks who reads books with two bookmarks. Not always, but I’ll decide whether I need two bookmarks when I start a new non-fiction book by scanning the footnotes section. I read footnotes. There, I said it. I have one bookmark to mark the page I’m currently reading and the other to…

Cast–Open Source

October 12, 2004

Open Source is called that because of her enthusiasm for often arcane open source technology. Linux, ogg, bit torrent, whatever. If it’s free technology and difficult to use, she’s probably all for it. Open Source plays on our co-ed league football teams. She’s a tall and very athletic woman and that’s great for us because…

Chef is The Veteran‘s cousin and is indeed a chef. He’s an ordinary, down-to-earth kind of guy who is usually the focal point of any room in which he happens to find himself. He is at ease with himself and, as a reult, is at ease with others. He likes to have a good time…

Vikings Vs. Texans — In Pictures

October 10, 2004

I do like the Star Tribune‘s online game photo gallery feature. I have only one complaint: They need to get a new person to write the captions for the photos because whoever is currently doing it, really has no clue. I wouldn’t make a big deal of it if it was a one-time thing, but…

Cast–Fearful Flyer

October 10, 2004

Fearful Flier is The Veteran‘s cousin and sister to Chef. She is not a librarian though she went to school to become one and as a result, is the first person to turn to when you need to track down an elusive fact or piece of knowledge. The fact that she has a command of…
