Back to Work

Filed under: Cubicle CultureJeremy @ 2:50:31 PM

After being away from the Cubicle Jungle for a little over a week, I return to the frey to do my usual battle with Marketing and Product Development.

Nothing changed, has it?

Filed under: Cubicle Culture,PersonalJeremy @ 9:48:21 PM

Today was an interesting day in the Cubicle Jungle.

To cover our service levels in the call center, I was volunteered to handle 2nd Tier Support question and don the headset one more time.

Gravity

Filed under: ScienceJeremy @ 2:05:51 PM Tags:

If there is one thing that really sticks its thumb out to the Scientific realm, that would be Gravity.

Even before Isaac Newton analysis of a falling apple, Science has not been able to figure out how Gravity Works. Even today, in all out Greek philosophy of (We know everything), Gravity still rears its ugly head and says, “HAH! You still haven’t figured me out.”

The sad thing is, we have based so much of our Astronomical Models on a Theory we don’t really understand.

It’s the playoffs!

Filed under: FootballJeremy @ 9:49:23 PM

As I’m writing this, the Philadelphia Eagles just beat the “Hot”lanta Falcons 20-6 in the first divisional playoff for the Eagles as they had a first round bye last week.

It’s now official. The Road to San Diego goes through Veteran’s Stadium in Philadelphia, as the winner of the Buccaneer/49ers game has to march to Philadelphia to play the Eagles next week.

Celebration

Filed under: FootballJeremy @ 8:51:10 PM

I decided to show off one of my Christmas Presents early.

For Christmas my parents got me some Eagles Gear. I really wanted some, seeing how good my favorite team was doing.

So today, after the Eagles Win over the Atlanta Falcons, I decided to don the Donovan McNabb Jersey.

Palm IIIxe

Filed under: Geek-FuJeremy @ 8:29:08 PM

At long last, I now know where I’m supposed to be again.

Tis a sad state of affairs when a 6 oz gadget tells a human being where to be and what to do, on an hourly basis.

Today, I replaced my malfunctioning Palm IIIxe, which went kaput several months ago.

Now I know when I’m missing an important meeting again.

The End of an Era

Filed under: PersonalJeremy @ 8:37:30 PM

Tonight is the last night Matt Hancock will live in the house I call the GeekBrigade.

He is moving into his new apartment, in preparation for his wedding in February, and will begin living there tommorow.

Matt is the first of the original five members of the house to leave the nest.

I’m still trying to get a grasp of it.

Spring Cleaning

Filed under: PersonalJeremy @ 3:27:27 PM

While I’m waiting for word from my family members driving to Tucson, I took this opportunity to overhaul my room in the GeekBrigade.

Since Matt moved out, we decided to reorganize some sleeping arangements, and in that we elected to clean some of the carpets.

I’ve pulled out some of my furniture and cleaned up a LOT of paperwork in my room.

And some of these surfaces in my command centre have not seen the light of day since I moved in here.

Oh yeah, and the Eagles lost the NFC Championship.

Separation of Church and State

Filed under: RantsJeremy @ 1:33:20 PM

The above five words are some of the most frustrating for me to read, probably because it is one of the most misquoted mantras in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Today, it seems, anytime someone even HINTS about some relationship between the Religion and the Government, some uneducated pundit screams, “That is a violation of the Separation of Church and State!”

Usually I just shake my head ruefully.

Super Bowl XXXVII

Filed under: FootballJeremy @ 9:35:44 PM

Call me a guy who got on the bandwagon, but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (The Good Pirates) won the Spanish Main Super Bowl.

I liked Tampa Bay for a few reasons:

  • They have the better defense
  • They were the NFC Representative (I always go with the NFC)
  • They beat the Philadelphia Eagles (and that makes me feel better for them loosing.)
