El Duderino

While on the subject – have you checked out this other Dude’s site lately? I’ve been told more than once that I am most definitley NOT The Dude – that in fact, this Dude is THE ONE TRUE DUDE. Don’t tell my shrink, but I’m inclined to agree. The Big Lebowski is one definitely one…

Another Dude with a Great Blog

PhotoDude.com: All The News That Fits My Whim Thanks, Friskodude for leading me to this cool site. Today’s post is of particular interest to bloggers like myself who use MovableType.

Ten Bucks Says You Can’t Do It

As we say good riddance to one of my favorite people – John Asscroft – I challenge you to listen to this little gem IN ITS ENTIRETY. I’ll bet you can’t. I couldn’t – and I REALLY tried – hard.

Oopsie!

Extra Man Illusion

I can’t seem to figure his one out. Count the men, then count them again.

Safer in Wisconsin?

If I am ever asked to film a parody of a presidential visit to a rural town in middle America, I am well prepared – I saw George Bush come through towm in his bus. George’s bus clearly proclaims, “A Safer World”. See it? Right there – above the talking gee-dubya look-alike holding Mr. Microphone…

Boy, Was He Pissed…

Our dear friends Andrew and Barbara returned from a three week trip to the UK yesterday. While there, he received a copy of a curse cast on the Johnstone clan 500 years ago… In the sixteenth century, the border riding clan of Johnstone, having reverted to a pagan and warlike tribe, caused so much trouble…

Busted!

Happy Birthday, Dude!!

Thanks so much to all who came to thedude’s party. Jim and Kelly are blessed to have the best friends (and neighbors!) in the world. We love you all!

Bocce Ball and Warm Beer

So, I had a really good time yesterday with my fellow sysadmins from work. We took the afternoon off for a “team building event”. I know – sounds horrible, but our new manager Karl came up with an excellent idea! He suggested we try our hand at bocce ball. Turns out the game suited us…

That Other Dude Bowls in Tennis Shoes

Kelly and I LOVE the Big Lebowski. Jeff Bridges’ portrayal of the Dude is an all-time classic, and made us Jeff Bridges/Coen Brothers fans for life. Some of you will have noticed my link to a great Jeff Lebowski web site created by a fan in Germany. Other Lebowski fans should also check out Jeff…

Wanna Blog?

I am beginning to get a lot of requests for assistance with blogs, mainly because I’m hosting quite a few of ’em. I’ve gotten to be quite good at it – I can set up a blog for a new user in about 2 minutes. If you’re interested in having your own blog, have a…

Beautiful Photo Blog

Just a quick post to introduce you to a very cool blog with teriffic photography. Makes me think I need to change everything about my blog. I really like the way the author crops the thumbnail images. I wish I’d thought of that! Hunkabutta: Tokyo photos, a stranger’s life in pictures

Internet Movie Archive

My friend Cindy just sent a link to a very cool site. Check it out. I guarnatee that there is something that will interest you at the Moving Image Archive.

Sites on My Server

I have the pleasure of hosting some pretty cool sites on my server. Please take a moment to look at one of them by an amazing illustrator – Charlie Powell.

Todd’s a Bit Odd…

Oh my gawd, I wish I had seen this before Valentine’s Day! While you’re at it, check out every single one of the excellent cartoons (they’re more like funny comic strips with motion) at Odd Todd’s. After the first two, I was completely hooked.

Feelin’ Lazy

OK, so I don’t post to my blog every day. Especially when I have to re-number our network again and move the servers again. Add to that tonight’s H.O.A. meeting and I’m just un-motivated as hell. I did find this gem, though.

Follow-up to Bad Day Below

Tthis story is just too amazing to miss. Unbelievable!!! Climber who amputated own arm describes ordeal

T.G.I.F.

Whew, do I look forward to my weekends! They have never been quite as important as they are now. Damn! I think I work too hard. Today I had to rebuild a Windows workstation. It took the better part of the whole day. Ugh! This weekend will be a busy one, though. Feels like we…
