So I'm posting the video for posterity. If you don't already have it, you'll need Quicktime to watch the video. Get it here.http://www.thisisdrew.com/2006_08_01_archives.shtml#115466423701228961Chuck Norrishttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/1526688/posts/summary/115198690717383217Tue, 04 Jul 2006 03:55:00 +00002006-07-03T23:23:36.380-05:00Part of it has to do with living an hour away from all the people I used to hang out with, and part of it involves being cooped up in a residential neighborhood, but lately I've been very bored. With a baby on the way, now is probably as good a time as ever to be bored. So I guess it's ok. Totally changing subjects, DeAnja finally agrees with me that milk from these cows tastes better. It'shttp://www.thisisdrew.com/2006_07_01_archives.shtml#115198690717383217Chuck Norrishttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/1526688/posts/summary/114974146211538074Thu, 08 Jun 2006 04:29:00 +00002006-06-07T23:37:42.126-05:009:30 at night: "Let's go get some ice cream." ..and so it begins. In other news, weiner dogs currently sneak around eating food off coffee tables when no one is looking, and also enjoy spending time in front yard, toying with fallen baby birds and giant insects.http://www.thisisdrew.com/2006_06_01_archives.shtml#114974146211538074Chuck Norrishttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/1526688/posts/summary/114954945039190915Mon, 05 Jun 2006 22:14:00 +00002006-06-05T23:52:39.196-05:00We pay our bills. Most of the time. In spite of the fact that both of us work full time, there isn't a pile of money in savings that gets bigger with each passing month. A house payment, one car payment, and we're lucky in that we both have health insurance. We're getting by, barely. Yet apparently, I live in a very affluent society. And there are probably 3 billion people who would gladly http://www.thisisdrew.com/2006_06_01_archives.shtml#114954945039190915Chuck Norrishttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/1526688/posts/summary/114925847705664348Fri, 02 Jun 2006 14:11:00 +00002006-06-02T09:27:57.146-05:00I know I know, tech guru nerd internet junk is my thing. It's what I do. ..For fun and for a sub-standard living. But where else should I ask, where else can you download 27 Neil Young albums at one time, or watch all Itchy and Scratchy episodes ever created, or find out how every internal combustion engine known to man works by watching neat animations. Of course it is very true that the http://www.thisisdrew.com/2006_06_01_archives.shtml#114925847705664348Chuck Norrishttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/1526688/posts/summary/114767285871130635Mon, 15 May 2006 05:22:00 +00002006-05-15T01:06:06.566-05:00If all goes well and my wife doesn't give birth to an iguana, I fear that having children will ensure payback for all my childhood sins, as well as for all those of my wife. If you are reading this and you know me, and you don't know that we are having a girl, well, you know now. And this girl I'm sure, will emerge into the world and roll her eyes at us before she takes her first breath.

The big ones. At work, I put everything, into my work. ..into design and web nerdiness ..and in many ways suffer for my craft, because I'm generally my own worst critic. It has to be good. It has to be good, or its nothing. etc.. The problem I face, well, is that money doesn't grow on trees. Great web work, great design work, doesn't necessarily sell itself.

Alot to catch up on. I'll keep it short. DeAnja (my wife) is cooking fajitas tonight. I will eat them, preferably in a chair. I will go to sleep, wake up tommorow and drive to the new place of employment where I've been for the past 3 or 4 weeks. Things are good there.http://www.thisisdrew.com/2006_04_01_archives.shtml#114549252178238504Chuck Norrishttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/1526688/posts/summary/113761263536917913Wed, 18 Jan 2006 19:10:00 +00002006-01-30T21:54:37.893-06:00My brother Corey got married this past weekend down in Louisiana, and it was nice to go somewhere and just hang out for an extended weekend, even if I was hauling around all kinds of gear and heavily involved in trying to setup an imovie slideshow. I brought my Imac G5, and rented a projector from Online Technologies out of Maumelle. It wasn't cheap, but they were good to deal with and helped http://www.thisisdrew.com/2006_01_01_archives.shtml#113761263536917913Chuck Norrishttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/1526688/posts/summary/113463104660505277Thu, 15 Dec 2005 07:06:00 +00002005-12-15T01:20:33.233-06:00More quick notes. Places I've been lately on job interviews: Seattle. Seattle sucks. Traffic. Depressing drizzle. And more traffic. End of story. San Francisco. San Francisco is a real city. Where people walk. I've been to several turisty mountain town kind of places where I've said, "yeah, I could definately live here", but San Francisco left me with that same inviting feeling, while http://www.thisisdrew.com/2005_12_01_archives.shtml#113463104660505277Chuck Norrishttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/1526688/posts/summary/113408304390901348Thu, 08 Dec 2005 23:03:00 +00002005-12-08T17:04:03.920-06:00A story from the first Arkansas Legislature from 1833 http://www.thisisdrew.com/2005_12_01_archives.shtml#113408304390901348Chuck Norrishttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/1526688/posts/summary/113341538140252316Thu, 01 Dec 2005 05:15:00 +00002005-12-01T00:47:25.176-06:00Notes for the Day: 1. My wife was in a bad mood when she got home from work today. Work does that, even on uneventfull days. Today for me was cold, and dirty, and I almost got shocked to death. But come 5 o'clock I was in a better mood than I usually am coming home from sitting in a chair all day. 2. DeAnja worships at the church of the Crackerbarrel biscuits with butter and strawberry http://www.thisisdrew.com/2005_11_01_archives.shtml#113341538140252316Chuck Norrishttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/1526688/posts/summary/112982109122433038Thu, 20 Oct 2005 14:46:00 +00002005-10-20T10:17:03.153-05:00Evidently, if you're a loaded retiree living in Chicago and watching late night infomercials, Officer Ponch Poncherello will entice you to buy land in Hot Springs Village. Watch the video here. This answers so many questions. All the old people moving in down here and driving those big old Pontiacs and Towncars - all the Yankees with the northern accent who you notice ahead of you in line http://www.thisisdrew.com/2005_10_01_archives.shtml#112982109122433038Chuck Norrishttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/1526688/posts/summary/112923448201952829Thu, 13 Oct 2005 20:05:00 +00002005-10-13T15:17:09.706-05:00I've been hearing much talk lately over this whole web 2.0 thing. Let me tell you, upcoming web technology is much more exciting to me than it should be. And I won't bore you any with details. I'm a nerd. I'll go do my nerd thing while you guys do real work that doesn't involve sitting in a chair for 8 hours every day. However, things around this site are going to change a bit over the next http://www.thisisdrew.com/2005_10_01_archives.shtml#112923448201952829Chuck Norrishttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/1526688/posts/summary/112870564556225712Fri, 07 Oct 2005 17:04:00 +00002005-10-07T12:24:08.590-05:00Boy, have I been neglecting this site. She's in bad need of repair as well. All this old table structure, the bland look and feel. Projects I spend an hour on at work are alot better. Several times I've had the notion of putting her down; to sleep; out of her misery and neglect. Who knows. Still some good archives. Hard to believe I've had a weblog since December of 2000. Lately though,http://www.thisisdrew.com/2005_10_01_archives.shtml#112870564556225712Chuck Norris
