Lunging two horses at one time

Yesterday I did an experiment: I lunged Isis and Prize together in their paddock (which is also a backup ring). A few nights ago, I did a similar experiment except I lunged one horse at a time and swapped between them with both of them loose in...

.NET, Windows XP woes

I’m having to use the Winddow XP virtual machine on the Mac to do character updates for gaming tonight. Stupid fucking Windows keeps asking if I want to reboot. It’s downloading updates in the background even though that was turned off. I get so aggravated with Windows....

Nokia N900 controls full-size helicopter

Once the Nokia N900 was shown to be able to control a miniature helicopter, it was only a matter of time before one success to was extrapolated to a larger scale. The video, originally released by Tweakker and featured on Nokia’s blog today, is a hoax. Wouldn’t...

Ambush’s ashes

I picked up Ambush’s ashes today: a little white box in a purple velvet bag that says “Until we meet again at the rainbow bridge.” My poor little buddy. I held it together until the person at the clinic handed me the bag with Ambush’s ashes. I’ve...

Birthday week

This past Tuesday was my birthday. I had a ball: dinner with my friend and an evening playing Dragon Age. My friends and I went to a nice (if somewhat pricy) restaurant at the local mall. I even managed to find something that was (theoretically) within my...

New theme

Seems like any time something major happens, I have to choose a new theme for this site. This theme is called “Vina.” Unfortunately, the theme displays all of the categories in the menu bar. I’m going to turn that off, but not tonight. I have stayed up...

Ambush Tale: Great Escape

One of the things I loved about Ambush were his antics. He had to explore every where: not to necessarily get out but to just see what was on the other side. In August 2009, Ambush decided that he was going to go on a walkabout. I...
