Bedside conversations III (formerly known as Bedside talk)
– Sorry, baby, I’m just exhausted from work – That’s alright – Some effin’ mum brought her baby for show-and-tell and completely ruined my lunch – Awwww – I hate it when they do that! Do I bring my hardware to work to show around? NO! I don’t get it why they have to do […]
Happy Thurs Day!
Roy Scheider dies from infection, age 75
November 10, 1932 February 10, 2008 I remember him as Dr. Heywood in 2010: The Year we make Contact, which has always been an inspiration to me. Other movies that stand out are The French Connection, Jaws and Naked Lunch. Apparently he was also supposed to star as Rambo in First Blood and Michael […]
Four pictures from the weekend
There was a 5th picture that did not make it through the filter. The camel was a sleeping friend of mine. Sleeping in a hallway. More like passed out, really. With his mp3 player on maximum volume. Alas, I found it too disturbing for his counter-factual, hypothetical grandchildren to find out. Bad craziness. So here […]

HOWTO open the Western Digital 500GB MyBook Premium Edition chassis
Model: WD5000D032-000 (Dual-interface, FW & USB 2.0) Many thanks to Don Insalata and Rich Andrews for their wonderful tutorials. I thought I’d supplement with my own pictures from the process, and I think you’ll find most of them self-explanatory. As usual you should never play with electronics without the proper care. Remove the power adapter […]
Truckin Zine February 2008 – Siggfree until April
I didn’t make this month’s issue and next month Pauly’s planning an LA-only issue. If I can’t make it to LA by that time, my first Truckin’ story this year will probably appear sometime in April. If you still need your Sigg3 fix head over to my online notepad that has a lot of stuff […]
