I spent yesterday, Monday, in the middle of nowhere, ‘helping’ Ted set up wireless internet infrastructure for a client of his company. Microwave links from from civilization (Fresno), to the boonies, down to a home so remote the driveway is several miles long! Geekiness all day long!

Damn! I’ll be at work at the appointed time.
Oh, wait, no I won’t! Maybe there’s time to plan something! 😉

My Harvey Milk Day commentary was published today in the Visalia Times Delta.
Check it out, here.
The paper will put it behind a paywall in a week, so after then I’ll post the text here. Until then, go read it at on their website, or buy a copy of the paper. Or two or three copies!

I’m expecting something tomorrow. Tomorrow is my last shift before vacation, too. And of course, the big shindig on Saturday. Overall, I’m just on pins and needles!

Space Shuttle Endeavour sits on the launch pad at Kennedy Space Center, an hour before it’s scheduled 25th and final flight. One more flight remains in the Shuttle Program.

Mowing the lawn is not something I enjoy.

I’m an ordained High Priest. (Really, I am. Honest.)
This is one of my Altars of the One True Path.
It dispenses the Elixir of Life.
It is not necessary to bow down before it, it’s only a machine, after all.
All hail the Altar of The One True Path!

My house is down there somewhere.
So I’ve lived in my current residence 14 years now. This evening I took a stroll around the neighborhood. Second time I’ve done that, and the first time was just a couple of weeks ago. This picture is taken about a half a mile from my house, looking back towards it. The fence is around the school where I attended for a short time, back in the 4th or 5th grade.
The total walk was 1.85 miles, as best I can figure it, using Precision Mapping. I can see that I need to buy some walking shoes, if I’m going to do this very often. The shoes I wore are clearly not made for walking.
