I love science-fiction.

And the word is techno.

My musical tastes are varied and variable.  There is no telling what trend or style will suddenly catch my fancy and become my obsession.  Really.  Of course, my musical tastes are also tragically unhip, I've been told, by more than one of my music loving friends.  And, I'm rarely in step with anything current or any hot trend.  So, believe me when I tell you that I haven't seriously listened to any techno in years.  Honest.

Let's start the year slow.

Have New Year's Resolutions ever worked?  Really?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure no one has ever stuck to a New Year's Resolution, ever in the history of New Year's Resolutions.  Seriously.  I'm sure there are a thousand reasons for that, but, well, doe they matter?  Not really.  So, rather than be serious, why not try something more fun this year and generate your resolution randomly with the Diary of a Network Geek's New Year's Resolution Generator!

Don't have time to read the classics?

Hey, I hear you!  I mean, really, who does?  But, at the same time, I feel like I should read some of the business classics, like Think and Grow Rich or The Book of Five Rings or The Prince.  (Okay, actually, I have read those and in their full print format, but that's just an example.)  Well, for those of us short on time, but long on business ambition, there's Smarter Comics; graphic novels...

No, seriously!

Okay, so as we approach Christmas, I tend to think of gifts for people and I'll no doubt post about them.  Okay, so, mostly, these are things I wouldn't mind getting, but, still, I have good taste, so you'll enjoy them, too.
So, clearly, you can tell that I'm no web designer from the way this site looks, right?  Well, believe it or not, I used to code all the pages for this site in HTML, by hand, using nothing...

I love leftovers.
