So the Pope did not appear at his window today—Does that mean we’re in for six more weeks of winter?
The devil movies always get me.
by Pete on March 25, 2005
I don’t know—maybe it’s my Catholic upbringing, but despite the fact that I don’t believe in god and find most religion to be, at best, silly, movies about the Devil are not too far behind zombie films on my list (…)
IM Annoyances

Can no one produce a decent instant messaging client? I’ve been a big fan of Trillian for the last 5 years or so, but have been vaguely dissatisfied with it since the release of version 3.0. Chief among my problems: (…)

Well, not really, but I thought it made for a catchy title… Okay, so here’s what I can’t figure out about this Terry Schiavo business. According to pretty much every poll that has been conducted since the case so rudely (…)

I, for one, say “Woohoo!”
by Pete on March 21, 2005
Despite the fact that it is cold, windy, and raining where I live, I’m pretty excited that today is the first full day of Spring. I believe that makes today (or maybe it’s yesterday or tomorrow…) the vernal equinox. Not (…)
