Oahu Photos Posted

Posted on: 18 February 2009 /
Categories: Travel

32 photos for a 3.5-day trip is probably excessive, especially given how many of them are so badly lit. I swear, one day I’ll figure out where the sun is. (Click on the Photos link on the top of the page if you’re interested.) bkd

Sea World: The Corporate Religion Experience!

Posted on: 17 February 2009 /
Categories: Religion, Travel

It’s either okay to train killer whales to be in shows or it’s not. If it’s okay, it’s because the whales like it, not because they have decided that it’s the right thing to do for the betterment of their kind. And if they like it, then there’s no reason not to have ’em jumping

Long Weekend on Oahu

Posted on: 16 February 2009 /
Categories: Hawaii, Travel

Brief FAQ Didn’t you just go to Hawaii? Yes, but a different island. Isn’t that a long way to fly for just a three-day weekend? Meh. Why did you decide to go? $284 round-trip over a holiday weekend — that seemed like a sign. Day 1 (Friday)   Laie Point Activities: Aiea Loop Trail, Lunch

Scary Hawaiian Bumper Sticker

Posted on: 15 February 2009 /
Categories: Travel

Saw this one yesterday morning driving down Ala Wai trying to get to the H-1 West:   On the off chance you can’t quite read it, it says “How Do I Drive? Please Call 836-0317.” OTOH, maybe this isn’t scary so much as it is an innovative use of The Wisdom of Crowds. You stick

Fallout 3 Is the Reason I Stopped Blogging

Posted on: 15 February 2009 /
Categories: video games

Because who has time to blog when there are mutants to decapitate and robot factories to explore? Probably the best adventure/RPG game ever released on a console. Seriously, I think that’s the reason. Blame Google Bart for telling me how good it was in the first place. bkd

Categories: Self Promotion

Speaking of places I used to live, the place I used to live, from 2000-04, is for sale: http://www.redfin.com/CA/Mission-Viejo/26292-Los-Viveros-92691/unit-166-A/home/18547846 My old kitchen in all its glory (except that it’s yellow now).

A Personal History of Moving, the Post-BYU Years

Posted on: 8 January 2009 /
Categories: Self Promotion

The odd thing about looking at the below list of moves is that it leaves me realizing how many places I *haven’t* lived and makes me feel like I’m probably missing out on a lot of residence-oriented experiences. And that I should maybe try out some more options. 2009 – Moved from Mission Viejo (by

I Moved!

Posted on: 4 January 2009 /
Categories: Self Promotion

And I’m now really tired of carrying stuff. Big thx out to DLF and DDF/DLF-Prime (whatever she’s going by these days). It was, actually, better than being at work for the last three days. Huh. And as a result of the move $1,150 cash will be falling from the ceiling of my new bedroom every

If There Really Is a Santa Claus, Shouldn’t He Be *All*-Knowing?

Posted on: 14 December 2008 /
Categories: Other

How am I — how is *anyone* — supposed to trust this guy to be an objective arbiter of good-bad when he lacks the self-awareness to openly address is inadequacies? Plainly, *plainly*, someone who “knows” whether someone has been bad or good during the course of a given year *should* also know what gifts said
