Isis visits us

We have a gray kitty that visits us occasionally and begs for food.  We have decided to call her isis and more or less consider ourselves her adopted family.  I’m pretty sure she used to be someone’s companion animal because she is fairly friendly around people.  She seems very skiddish around doors though and shows [...]

VMWare I hate you

***UPDATE***
Chris made a very reasonable suggestion to use virtual box instead of VMware.  This actually would have been my preference originally since its dead simple to set up.  Unfortunately after doing some reading online it appears that in the area of disk performance VMware stomps on virtual box.  Since the application for this particular situation [...]

I love synergy

At work I have a Mac laptop and a linux desktop. Sometimes I wind up wanting to do things on the mac laptop but the vast majority of the time I use my linux machine. The problem is I can’t stand using the stupid mouse on the mac laptop and I’d rather use [...]

Fail blog gets it right

Every once and a while I go and check out fail blog because they have some humorous pictures.  I showed it to Lisa today and we both had a good laugh about the first entry for today.  Since its related to veganism I thought I would share it with all of you.
So to all you [...]

Finally a real employee

Leaving albany, a very vegan goodbye

Today was my last day at my job at University at Albany. We had a party, like we usually do when someone leaves.  Generally everyone meets in the conference room and everyone (except me and someone at my job with celiacs) eats pizza, cake, coldcuts or some other non-vegan food.  I always enjoy them but [...]

Fun filled weekend

Lisa and I decided to take my friend Chris to the woodstock farm animal sanctuary this weekend.  Chris is an omni but he generally has a pretty open mind.  Last time we went to the farm animal sanctuary with my father it was pretty much the experience I would expect when you went to a [...]

The blissful eating of ignorance

This past weekend I went out to a very good mostly vegan restaurant.  I won’t go into to much about the restaurant since that is not the point of this post… maybe I’ll make another post about the restaurant later.  I found myself in a situation that is all to uncommon in my experience with [...]
