So last Friday I finally jumped on the bandwagon and saw Garden State with Ashley (it was her third time seeing it). I must say, it lived up to the hype for me. Except for the whole “they get together” part… because we all know that never happens, right? Yes, I am a bit of…
Thoughts on the Eleventh of September
Today being the three year anniversary of the WTC attacks, I feel that perhaps I should share my perspective on the event. I’m sure millions in the blogosphere are doing so, or have already done. I think, though, I can offer a somewhat different perspective from most (americans, at least). Nothing spectacular happened to me…
If you really like me..
You can get me one of these BOSS Whiskey Chimp T-Shirts. I’ll take a large, thank you. I’ve also decided to start using the word BOSS more. Wow. I need to sleep…
Hey! Free Hard Drive!
As I noted several weeks ago, one of my FireWire 800 (1394B) hard drive enclosures died. So, I sent it back to the manufacturer, and last week I received an invoice to inform me they were sending me a replacement enclosure. Awesome… now I just had to wait for FedEx ground shipping. The package arrived…
I love translation
Just a quick thought today–My name is Greg Bowers (as you no doubt have noticed), or more specifically, Gregory Brett Bowers. So I’m G.B. Bowers, and thus the “gb” notification in the title of each post I make. I use gb simply because it’s easy, but I’ve found something rather funny when I translate my…
Amazon wants me to buy kitchenwares
So, the other day, I discovered I had to purchase another textbook for my “Computers and Society” class I’m taking at the U. I jumped on Amazon.com, because I: Hate buying books from the overpriced university bookstore Wanted to get the new version of the CSS Pocket Reference Thought that this time, maybe, they might…
Blast from the past
Today found me de-junking my office. I guess it’s the absolutely gorgeous day we’re having in Salt Lake… it’s tricked my mind into thinking it’s spring again. I blame my mother’s genes… she’s a chronic organizational freak. She’s a devoted viewer of Clean Sweep on TLC. She constantly pulls everything out of a room, re-organizes…
Truly Awful Movies are Great
This is actually just a post to test out NetNewsWire‘s built-in weblog editor. But, yeah, I just finished watching the amazingly inane “Escape from L.A.” on the television. It’s my last day before classes start up for the autumn semester, so I’m just being lazy. But watching Kurt Russell run around a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles,…
It runs in the family
In today’s mail delivery, alongside a CD I had shipped from Australia (the Australian Tour Edition of Sumday by Grandaddy), a renewal notice for my MacWorld subscription, and a copy of O Magazine (I swear, it’s not mine), I received something of a proof that I am not the only “different” one in my family:…
Pardon the dust
GregoryBowers.com is undergoing some remodeling in preparation for V.2. So if something doesn’t work… check the site. I’ll try and keep you fine folks updated. This should be cool when it’s all done. –GB
