On the weekend I made this Peanut Butter-Chocolate Banana Cream Pie from the Kraft What’s Cooking magazine. It was easy to make and everyone loved it.
Remember that early survivor season where the two girls took their tops off for pb and chocolate? Yeah? Well I would be seriously tempted to do the [...]

… how big of a geek am I if I’m excited to be racking a new Dell ML6000 backup unit this afternoon? (We won’t even talk about the new SAN that’s on order… oh wait… <shudder> … sorry, those were chills going down my back).

Bob Barker’s last show airs June 15th. The guy amazes me.

We had a great week snorkeling, parasailing, tanning, and eating. The resort we stayed at, the Caribe Club Princess, was just breathtaking and a paradise for sure. The grounds were beautiful, our room was perfect, the food was excellent (even for the vegetarian), and [...]
