INTJ
I've never read something that describes me quite as well as this does. It's a description of the INTJ Myers Briggs personality. Crazy stuff.
Update: I did it. Zazzle.com. I made an "INTJ" shirt. It should arrive later this week. It looks like

Burglars Beware
Finally found another use for my webcam ... ever since it guarded my apartment while I was in Alaska.
Update: Using a demo version of EvoCam, I'm now saving a high-quality 1280x1024 jpeg image from the webcam every minute. Rather annoyingly, each image is ~950K, so I'm
The Colorless Green Ideas Slept Furiously
I've resurrected my Random Sentence Generator project - insofar as I've cracked open the books I bought for the project - which is the first step. I grabbed one book from the pile of sentence structure and diagramming books that I acquired some years ago, started

Heat Stroke
The AC in my house died over the weekend, while I was out of town. I returned late last night to a house that was 81 degrees inside; and even worse upstairs. Right now it's 86 downstairs. I'm not willing to go upstairs. The repair man
Swimming: Day 10
Swam a mile in 40:17 (1.49 mph overall), which is a new best (by thirty-two seconds). However, I'm seeing a bit of a plateau. I need another one of those 9+ minute over-night improvements.
I couldn't find the kick board to practice with after
Let's go Fly a Kite
I got a phone call this evening that went something like this:
Him: Hi. Is this Curtis Jones?
Me: Yes.
Him: Great! I'm so happy to have reached you. I'm [someone] and your friend Mark from The Hyatt (?) referred me to you. Do you know who
Swimming: Day 9
Swam a mile in 41:46 (1.44 mph overall), which is just a bit slower than last time. Instead of searching for the real cause of this decline I'm just going to assume it had something to do with the full chicken I ate a few hours
