Liveblogging the return of "Jericho" (Season 2 Episode 1)

9:00pm - Recap time... boom!

Bah... screw it, I want to watch.

Creative?

So, it's getting more and more obvious to me that I long to be creative. More often, I'm finding myself daydreaming about a new career path... one that doesn't involve job responsibilities that can basically be described as putting out people's fires. I'd love to be in a job where I could produce something - where I could create.

As a step in that direction, I'm seriously considering getting a website up and running again. I'd like it to be a semi-personal space where I can hone my atrophying design skills and start to build some things to showcase to potential interviewers and employers.

Here's the question I keep coming back to:
What domain name do I register?

My old ones got taken by lame cybersquatter companies. Here's a list of names I'm considering:

• bishless.com
• foobish.org
• whatthebish.com
• ...

Thoughts?

Lunch-tendo

Odd observation of the day:

Sitting in an Eegee's for lunch, the tables on either side of me are populated by people talking about the Wii on one side and the DS on the other. The conversations are occurring at the same time. Neither table seems to acknowledge the other.

What are the odds?

I was tempted to try and participate in both conversations.

Prayer from children

My wife sent me a link this morning that gave me pause.

Proud Amazement

My wife just called and put my 3 year old son on the phone. He rattled off the sweetest little 'Pledge of Allegiance' I've ever heard.

University of Phoenix' cold heart

So, after arguing w/ my financial 'counselor' and struggling to get in touch via phone w/ my academic counselor, I headed over to uopsucks.com for some therapeutic reading.

Instead, the flames of anger were fanned by this story that I think can still be found in Google's cache. Apparently, a young man attended one day of class before learning that he has stage 5 melanoma and was given a few weeks to live. After calling UoP to request his tuition be waived, he was instead offered a $300 discount on his next semester's tuition.

It took getting the local media involved to get the UoP administrators to alter their action. Ridiculous.

Uh oh...

Just received an email from the HR manager... sudden All Hands meeting scheduled.

That can't be good news.
