Job-hunting nowadays really sucks. With so many people out of work and not too many IT jobs out there to choose from, the salaries of IT professionals are going down the drain. I saw an ad on a local Pitt website looking for a senior level programmer that’s offering a whopping sum of $36,000/year. Man, […]

I just received my latest IRA statement in the mail today and the best way to describe it is depressing. Stocks have really taken a plunge in the past few months, and even more so these past few weeks. Although we don’t really have a lot at stake there (at least compared to other people), […]

If I thought that the interval between my last 2 blog entries was long, then this one was even worse. Exactly 2 weeks after my last one. A lot of things have certainly happened since then. I apologize for the lack of entries, especially during the 2 weeks that we’ve gone from being renters to […]

Wow, it’s been almost a week since I last blogged! Blogging just isn’t the same if you’re using a dial-up connection. I really need to get broadband soon. Maybe when we move into our new place… Anyway, things are all right here in Elf & Whale-land (all things considered). I’m still working on getting a […]

Movies to look forward to: Tomb Raider 2! Unlike the 98% of the movie-going public that were horrified by it, I actually liked the first one. And huh-ho, what’s this? It looks like somebody’s found the cheat code to get Lara to remove her clothes. According to the report, Angelina Jolie’s gonna be showin’ more […]

What I learned this past week: – There are TONS of suckers in the world. Did you know that horse racing is a $15 billion a year business in the US alone? – “Teabagging” sometimes does NOT refer to a type of drink. – I am more in the mood to do work when I’m […]
