Searching for Mexican Food... on CodePlex?
14 August 08 04:11 PM
Tagging is all fun and games until somebody gets hurt, right? Actually, like so-called Google-bombing, it can be pretty funny. Have you ever been guilty of surfing while hungry? It appears that somebody was pretty hungry while they were wandering around

It's hard to tell.

Are we supposed to take them seriously? "There's a limited supply of hadrons in the universe. Do we just want to go around destroying them? What if we run out? What if the hadrons can feel pain? Will we look back at this hundreds of years from now

Nearly 7 billion witnesses, and nobody saw nuthin'...
05 August 08 02:46 PM
Wow. We all need to look UP once in a while, people. "Anyone who went outside that night and looked towards the constellation of Puppis would have seen it," Saxton says. The Exploding Star That Everyone Missed (SPACE.com) Maybe everybody saw

Another example of life imitating video games... at the zoo?
15 July 08 04:04 PM
You know, this might be funnier if my youngest son (who's 8) wasn't currently playing Madagascar like a hyperactive, caffeine-addicted monkey. (He has autism, so the similarity between his hyperactivity and caffeine addiction is entirely superficial.

Gender neutral code? Srsly?
30 June 08 04:18 PM
Admittedly being from Mars, my reaction to the this little piece is predictable... I won't bore you with my witty repartee (yes, that's a redundant phrase) involving Emma, my code and a kitchen. (Yes, I'm pretty much overdue for sensitivity training,

Can your IT guy do this? Can you?
26 June 08 11:58 AM
Ah, this brings back memories. The 30 skills every IT person should have (infoworld.com) It's probably funnier to me since over the course of history, I've been: The nerd guy The pizza guy The delivery guy The police guy The computer guy The network guy

Excuse me, I believe you have my stapler...
23 June 08 09:56 AM
Being the sweet, considerate guy that he is, Steve Jones sent me an email to remind me of a couple of important things last Friday when he found out that my office was being moved into the basement (of Building 35). Not necessarily in order of importance,

Got milk? How many gallons will it take?
19 May 08 07:06 AM
It's almost like something you'd read about in The Onion: Mahoney says no charges have been filed but both lanes of traffic remain closed while authorities remove the cookies. 14 tons of spilled Oreo cookies snarl Ill. traffic (breitbart.com) In

A day in the life...
14 May 08 11:04 AM
In another demonstration of the fact that I don't live on the same planet as most people, my first reaction to this was, "Doesn't everybody do this all the time?" The Lighter Side - Life is like an analogy (SQLServerCentral.com) We're currently

Breaking News! AdventureWorks abandoned for Katmai in favor of Northwind, pubs and...
01 April 08 03:01 PM
In a striking change of direction, I'm happy to announce that AdventureWorks is being deprecated and abandoned for SQL Server 2008 samples in favor of long-time favorite databases of simple-minded data modelers: Northwind and pubs. Also, I can gleefully

The synchronicity is frightening...
03 March 08 07:44 AM
The synchronicity is frightening, especially considering that I just made time last night to finish all 45 achievements in Mass Effect for another 1,000 points... It almost like Randall's always there: just watching me. <insert_scary_ghost_noise />

I'm sorry. I laughed. It was funny.
20 February 08 03:39 PM
I'm sorry. I laughed. It was funny. Now I know why I was told to always keep a large, black duffel bag on-hand. And what the "no skateboarding" signs all over Redmond are for. Life At Microsoft - The Truth Revealed (Tina Wood | Channel 10) It's

Charging toward CTP6 on Longhorn...
11 February 08 02:57 PM
This weekend was going to be the one to setup Windows Home Server, but I got distracted by Windows Server 2008 when I just happened to see the x86 bits hit MSDN... which reminded me that I should covert my development VPC images over to 2008. (I've been

If it's stupid and it works...?
06 February 08 07:44 AM
In the immortal words of my favorite drill instructor, "If it's stupid, but it works, it ain't stupid." Scientists may one day be able to destroy viruses in the same way that opera singers presumably shatter wine glasses. New research mathematically

Now playing in my Zune podcasts... Escape Pod
04 February 08 10:59 AM
After finally making time to explore the 'cast inventory in the new Zune client*, I've found a few that I'm catching up on (my politically-oriented, paid-for 'casts notwithstanding). Escape Pod is first (Ask a Ninja will be second) and I just listened

Assimilation is complete. I have been beamed aboard the mothership. I finally moved to Redmond. If you're ever in the vicinity of Building 34, come say howdy!!
I'm one of the dozens of David Reed clones aboard the mothership, but I'm the only David Reed who is a SQL Ranger and MCA:Database. Go me!
