Not all of them were written by me – many were incorporated from extra-credit assignments in a class I took while still attending Elon.
But some collection of restaurant reviews I and others wrote a couple years ago is available here: http://ngmen.net/mightyoaks/.

I want one.
Don’t know what I’ll use it for yet – but I want a VersaLaser.
moonwinks
Wednesday, August 26, 2009
We’re driving down I-86. Where? Near the town of Cuba New York. Time? About 1945. Date? 25 July.
Due to some unavoidable delays earlier, we got a later start to our trip to Oshkosh for the EAA AirVenture week. As the sun is getting lower in the sky, we realize that we haven’t eaten in several [...]
safari on linux?
Tuesday, August 25, 2009
I’ve been wondering why Apple hasn’t made an edition of its browser available for Linux – any of them.
It’s based on various open-source tools, and while we all know Apple likes very much to control the user experience, it seems odd to me they haven’t released at least a source edition for Lionux.
If you’re interested [...]
want to reduce gas consumption?
Sunday, August 23, 2009
Buy better tires.
I referenced Seth Godin earlier today in regards to investment in developing countries.
Why is it, then, that a marketing blogger would talk about wanting to reduce fuel consumption? I think it’s because it’s easier to relate to than streamlining other processes you may have in your business or development cycles. It’s something we [...]
removing the emergency of poverty
Sunday, August 23, 2009
Seth Godin has a cool write-up on the Acumen Fund, and what they’re doing to help the 40% of the world that ekes-by on $2 a day or less – http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2009/08/patient-capital-markets-that-work-and-ending-the-endless-emergency-of-poverty.html.
what a coincidence
Thursday, August 20, 2009
My cost center code at work is 27244-1321.
The zip code of my old employer (and school) is 27244.
I know, recurring 5-digit numbers isn’t that weird – there’s only 10000 of them, after all. But still. I thought it was interesting.
the national museum of singapore
Saturday, August 15, 2009
Saturday I went to the museum, as planned. It was pretty interesting, but I would not suggest it either for small kids (probably under 10 or 12, unless they’re really really interested in the history of Singapore) or as place to go if you want to talk about what you’re looking at with the folks [...]
opennms on serverfault.com

While I don’t currently use OpenNMS, I do lurk on the mailing lists to learn about it
While on serverfault today, I thought about checking to see what OpenNMS questions there may be, and found several. None I’m qualified to answer, but the results are here: http://serverfault.com/questions/tagged/opennms.
For posts that merely have OpenNMS mentioned: http://serverfault.com/search?q=opennms.
little vietnam
I’ve been enjoying a small restaurant near my apartment in Singapore. It’s a cash-only operation called Little Vietnam. They’re located at 511 Guillemard Road S.
They open at 1700, and close at 0100 Tuesday through Sunday.
I’ve now been there several times, trying different pho options, the spring rolls, and some other specialties that jump off the [...]
