I don’t know what the heck this is but half the time when I type the word “for” on my Windows XP computer it beeps at me. Does anyone have ANY idea what could be causing this? Anyone? Please? It’s driving me crazy!

Since I started my new job, I now have a 35-40 minute commute to work so I started listening to audiobooks again. I found a free audiobook called Singularity by Bill DeSmedt at podiobooks.com. From the site:
What if the cataclysmic Tunguska explosion of 1908 was caused, not by a meteor or a comet, but by a microscopic black hole?
What if that fantastic object – smaller than an atom, older than the stars, heavier than a mountain – is still down there, orbiting deep inside the earth, slowly consuming the planet?
What if only a rookie government agent and an uncannily-insightful consultant stand between a renegade Russian billionaire and his plans to use the black hole to change history – or end it?
What if it’s all true?
I thoroughly enjoyed Singularity – in fact, there were times I didn’t want to leave the car because I was so involved in the story. The author does a great job narrating and really keeps you involved. It does gets a bit technical at times with things like quantum theory, the time-space continuum, etc. but it was action-packed and quite entertaining.
If you’re looking for an action-thriller with a scientific bent to it, you can’t go wrong with Singularity.
I freakin love Hell’s Kitchen. I guess it’s my restaurant experience with Golden Corral and Outback Steakhouse that makes that show unbelievably entertaining. I worked on both side – out front as a waiter, bartender, and FOH manager and I did all positions in the back (meatcutter, line, dish, grill, saute, salad, fry, etc. etc.). Good times, but I don’t miss it a bit.

As if you needed further proof that I’m a geek…..
My new car’s stereo allows you to customize the welcome message it displays. I thought about “Sir Pipalot” and “BrianScion”, but those weren’t good enough. Here is what I decided on for now:
