So, is my new picture OK? Too weird of an angle? I think it is a better likeness than the old one because I look kind of worried and I'm hiding in a hood :P.

I like it. But you look scared.

Steve West | December 7, 2007
I think pensive. It's a beautiful picture. Yes, pensive. Thinking deeply in a sad or serious manner.

Scott Hardie | December 7, 2007
I like it. I think you look surprised. Like, "What? You're taking my pi--"

Amy Austin | December 7, 2007
Ditto. And I have other comments on it -- and have since you posted it -- but knowing your tendencies, I'm afraid to share them! ;-)

Well, I think every picture of you looks so different, it's hard to say which picture is best. I think the hood look is definately cool! I'd stick with it!

Hey thanks for all the feedback people! Funny that people have such different opinions as to the emotion. I liked it better than the fake-confident grin on the last one plus that one made me feel cold to look at it. Must say I'm intrigued at what Amy had to say :-P. I can promise not to freak out if you reveal whatever it was, I just snapped my own photo really quick with a webcam when the pic looked OK on the screen so no hard feelings. I just asked because I really have no judgment on these things, pictures I thought were decent other people thought were terrible before :P

Jesus songs

I wonder what it is with me liking all these songs that mention Jesus. I'm a total atheist :P Actually I think it might be easier for me to like these songs that it would be for anyone who's religious and might have a troubled background with religion. I guess the name has less significance for me. Go »

Annoying

Darrell tells me that people actually care about *my* approval and they think I am rejecting them when in fact I am trying to keep away from them to protect them from my insanity. You guys are all awesome by the way... Wish I wasn't too insane to interact comfortably with anyone... Go »

It's been a while...

So, it is supposed to snow 9 inches today, and I didn't want to drive in that, so I did my grocery shopping yesterday. Then today (a Saturday) I decided to walk in to work with my cell phone to do some computer setup with 2-factor authentication that I wasn't able to do earlier because I never take my cell phone to work. See, I am this weird relic of the past who still wonders why people would have to get in touch with me at all hours, so I mainly treat my cell phone like it was a home phone. Go »

Chair

Over the weekend we went to Mills Fleet Farm to pick up the specific present my dad wanted for his birthday. I doubt you have the Fleet Farm in the more "civilized" parts of the world but it is a bit like a Walmart with the addition of things like calf medicine, saddles, fence posts, and a huge amount of hardware, machinery, building supplies, etc. I mostly stick to the more Walmart-like areas of the store, except for that one time when I built a fence :).

Adventures with food
