Isabella 2007-2008
She was a very good puppy with very bad genes. I am a cat person, I have always been a cat person. She touched my heart more than any dog ever could and I will miss her. Some people say that she was lucky to have us in her life, but we were the lucky…

My first attempt at video
For some reason uploading the video to an online service strips out the credits and one of the audio tracks. Here is the un-messedup version: Download

Update on Patti
Patti went to the hospital and was told that she has pancreatitis. The doctor prescribed Nexium (the little purple pill) and a painkiller for the pain. She was also told to quit smoking, change her diet and quit drinking pop. Thanks to all my friends for their well wishes and support. I appreciate it more…

"Oh well, It can’t get any worse"
A few weeks ago, there was an “incident” with my Skype account that resulted in me being out $130, dropping Paypal and for the first time in my life, doubting doing anything involving money online. Skype reversed the charges and now I have over $100 in Skype Credit which is not very useful to me…

Something a little depressing
I just realized that my termination day with the company I used to work for is August 15, 2008. That is also the 3 year anniversary of Deliberate Noise. At first I could feel the cold tendrils of depression trying to take hold of my mind, but I realized that when I posted the first…

Why my unemployment is good for the nation.
Ever since I was downsized, it appears as though gas prices have dropped nation wide. I got a tankful of gas at lunchtime at $4.19, got downsized and as I drove by the same gas station, the price was $4.15. Not nice. The last time my car was out of commission, I hitched a ride…

I had to send an email to a customer at work asking about some new types of data that I am supposed to receive. Here is what I wrote: "Do you know when it is supposed to start? Right now the data looks the same as it ever was." I’m not a huge Talking Heads…

What I would rather be doing today
Over the holiday weekend, I spent a lot of time listening to my old cassette tapes and mp3s that I have made from my old LPs. A lot of that stuff was from the early 80s and got me to thinking about my early high school days. I’m not one of those people who get…

Is it just me or is this just sad?
Two of the top headlines today are ‘Clinton wins by a landslide in West Virginia‘ and ‘Hope fading for tens of thousands still trapped in rubble in China‘. Usually things like this don’t bother me because I understand the awesome power of hyperbole, but for some reason, reading the comparison of a failed US Presidential…

My Jack Skellington is just a head
A long time ago, I got a keychain. It was Jack Skellington, but dressed up like a pirate. I’m pretty sure it was James and The Giant Peach and not Nightmare Before Christmas, but I have never been able to stay awake through James, so I’m not sure. Anyway, it was Jack holding a sword.…
