Yawn.  Wow, has it really been that long since I’ve last posted?  Wait, wow, is it really 2009?

I want.

The Giambino, Jason Giambi, met with the Tampa Bay Rays.  Giambi makes a ton of sense for the Rays.  Hopefully they sign him, so that we Yankee fans can see him 18-19 times a year.

Derek Jeter’s Taco Hole.

Ladies, if you bring your own tortillas, there’s no cover charge.

Tomorrow is six months since Sunny passed away.

I miss his precious face so incredibly much. Our home isn’t complete without him. I still find myself apologizing to him for what happened. It’s still the only way I know how to cope with him not being around. I’d give anything to have him back.

We’ve been using the fireplace these last few days. Sunny loved the fireplace. He would always sit directly in front of the fire; the light off of the fire would bounce off of his orange fur essentially making him glow. I miss seeing that. I miss the way he enjoyed the fireplace; I miss the way he enjoyed life.

I just got up to get a tissue and decided to check up on Macky. He was laying on the bed with one leg in the air and cleaning his crotch. Looks like we’ll be washing the sheets again. But that’s Macky. And I’m so grateful to have him as a constant reminder of his brother, Sunny. They’re such opposites, but yet so similar. In a way, Sunny is still very much alive through Macky (except when Macky is bad, which is quite often).

We miss you very much, Sunny. There’s not a day that goes by when we’re not thinking about you or talking about one of our many wonderful memories of you. Tell god I said what’s up and tell Santa not go be too hard on Macky this year.

I didn’t know where this entry was going when I started it, and I don’t know how to end it now. I suppose I’ll just end it here.  I leave you with a picture of Sunny.  He’s covered in ash from the fireplace — one of his goofiest moments ever.

Setting up Fedora 9 on my Mac mini as we speak. I can’t get over how much of a breeze it is. The mini is going to be used as a local dev server. I’m pretty excited to be able to work locally on our projects — it’s going to speed up development greatly (oh, and I won’t continually break things on the live servers).

I must admit,  I’m pretty excited to possibly see CC Sabathia in pinstripes. 

Here’s a nice tutorial on how to produce Digg-like editable comments.  SongMeanings?

Here’s 40 Halloween-ish Photoshop effects.  Woot.

I owned my name dot com (for example, johndoe.com) for a few years. It existed as my blog for awhile, and then it just really ceased to exist. I always planned to develop it into my resume and portfolio, but it never really got off the ground.

Awhile back, another individual with my name (gasp! there’s two of me, maybe three) contacted me pertaining to the domain — he had wanted to use it for his professional music career. Well, after a year or so, I wrote back to him again (I first declined his request) and told him it’s all his. I’m sad to see it go, but I’m happy someone will put the name dot com to some good use that it actually deserves.
