SAP and the Defamation of π

I smell a conspiracy.  I’m not talking about the recent mysterious disappearance of a Malaysian airliner.  The conspiracy I have discovered is something far more insidious.  It’s an attack on the very fabric of geekdom.   I’m talking about the defamation of π.

Zakly what I needed

I guess it’s time to dust off this long-neglected blog, since I have some horsey news that’s longer than a 2-line Facebook status. It will probably fall back into neglect after this, but here’s the scoop.

As a slave to technology, I just wasted spent an afternoon acquiring and activating a new (almost) iPhone 4. It turned out to be a much more arduous task than I anticipated, but I think it was worth it.

(I still haven’t gotten around to cleaning the mud off my boots from that last… Continue reading Hunt Season Summary

Miscellaneous Update

This blog is still being sorely neglected, with only 2 entries so far this year.

Housecleaning… Continue reading Miscellaneous Update

And since I’ve had another extended spell of blogger’s block, I might as well break the silence with an account of some of the minor adventures created by the snowfall.
