Judah’s Favorite TV Shows/Personalities
Filed under Family
Judah has three things related to TV that he asks for all the time. In no particular order they are:
- Dirty Jobs, and host Mike Rowe; this is often presented as one word, “DirtyJobsMikeRowe”
- Mythbusters, complete with a countdown (3..2..1..) and explosion noises
- Alton Brown
The last one is a bit of a recent phenomenon, but we enjoy Alton as well, so it’s all good.

I Play by My Rules
Filed under General
Actually, they are Jim’s rules:
There will be no rules posted here, nor will I “tag” anyone, but here are a few random facts about me.
I was tagged for a meme, and so I will post 8 random facts/stories about myself. Here goes.
- This is the first meme that I have ever responded to.
- As a kid I wanted to prove that man could live on bread and water alone.
- For all of the Microsoft bashing I do, I consider Excel to be one of the best software titles ever.
- It actually hurt me to type #3.
- I am responsible for Judah’s haircuts in the summer months. I guess I’ll cut Abel’s next summer, too.
- I’ve had five concussions. But get this, for some reason I have a sense that I’m forgetting about one. They are (in chronological order [the ones I remember]):
- toddler in the church nursery
- elementary school age playing in a sprinkle, hello sidewalk
- middle school age playing football at recess
- high school wrestling match
- college Bruin Brawl
- Growing up I tried to avoid yard work. Now it is something I strive to do well at.
- The “formal” announcement is just coming out that I am shifting my responsibilities at work. I will continue to work in Admissions half-time. My other half-time will be in IT, doing software development and system administration.
