Look, this site started out as a very run-of-the-mill blog in 2002 before it evolved into the content powerhouse it is today. The bulk of this stuff is old, and it’s not all great . A lot of it is downright cringe-worthy. But is all here — for what that’s worth.
This archive collects everything from July 31, 2002 through August 31, 2005, when this site ran on MovableType and TypePad.
31 Aug 2005
This is where I live now.

There’s either very little or an infinite amount of humor in this, I can’t decide
1 Mar 2005
I’m back, yet again.
12 Jan 2005
It’s the time of year that I get all depressed because my lowly salary doesn’t allow me to buy whatever new device/software/service Steve Jobs has telepathically commanded me to buy.
16 Dec 2004
TypeKey is everything that Movable Type is not.
14 Dec 2004
I’m working on Danielle’s site for her.
3 Dec 2004
So I picked up at hot Nintendo DS today.

Ken Jennings is about to lose on Jeopardy! Here’s what’s going to happen:

So I tried to get creative and set up Kung-Tunes to list my current iTunes track.

Thanksgiving. What a fun time.
23 Nov 2004

Getting drunk for science benefits everyone.
19 Nov 2004
Comments are now turned on. Let the spam begin!

It will shut a great many of you up to hear that I am working on a design for this site.
9 Nov 2004
Keith Olbermann smells it too.
7 Nov 2004
So the election was very likely a fraud. Big surprise.

I get the feeling that thanks to Karl Rove and his beautiful way of twisting facts, no senator can run for president anytime soon.
28 Oct 2004
This is just lovely.
27 Oct 2004
Note to self: Stick to the issues, Chris!
1 Oct 2004

This is not a joke. This is what I’m surrounded by.
13 Sep 2004
I’m back, yet again.
22 Jun 2004
Ok, so there was this incredibly inane article in The Patriot-News today about this woman who likes the color purple.
10 Jun 2004
I was inspired by a story I read on Yahoo! News about pro-war country songs, so I decided to write something.
24 May 2004
Today was Kaity’s birthday.
21 May 2004
Yeah, so Six Apart is apparently evil now, but I’m giving MT 3 a whirl just the same.
30 Apr 2004
This town smells like feces, and not just cow feces either.
28 Apr 2004
This actually has nothing to do with Erin’s foot.

I wasn’t the only one to get hit by Microsoft’s ineptitude, I mean, that virus this week.
12 Aug 2003
Windows is a giant piece of crap. I hate it more now than I ever have in the past.
12 Aug 2003
Here’s a gripe… there are these great little buttons in TypePad, right above the text area where I type my posts.
12 Aug 2003
I suddenly have next to zero traffic, and nobody has commented since last week.
10 Aug 2003
Well people, tonight is the last new episode of Futurama.
9 Aug 2003
Call me crazy…
9 Aug 2003
The sort of situation we must all work together to ensure never happens.
8 Aug 2003
I got the job at PennLive.com!
7 Aug 2003
I’ve heard people talking about a possible change in the dress code at work
6 Aug 2003
Well I think PennLive has checked all of my references, so I hope to hear back from them soon regarding an offer, a second interview, or a rejection.
5 Aug 2003
Yesterday was the first day of working in the new offices for Comcast Advertising Sales, where I work, so I figure that I’ll talk about it a little bit.
5 Aug 2003
Well I went all out today and decided that TypePad is worth paying for.
5 Aug 2003
I was overcome by the old temptation to bitch about someone else’s article. Here we go…
5 Aug 2003
If every Monday could be like this, I’d be a happy, happy dude.
4 Aug 2003
Well, Old Home Week, er, Days was pretty lame.
31 Jul 2003
Well, well well. It’s that time of year again — Old Home Week.

Apparently I was quoted in a news article, talking about the former Iraqi Information Minister, Mohammed Said al-Sahaf.
29 Jul 2003
Maybe I should have mentioned this yesterday.
29 Jul 2003
Well, I lied about being in bed by 9 last night.
29 Jul 2003
I need more sleep. I’m in bed by 9 tonight. I swear.
26 Jul 2003
I wonder if it’s a bad thing that I’ve already got my first paycheck planned out
25 Jul 2003
So I survived my first week of work at Comcast.
23 Jul 2003
Hey everybody, it’s July 23, and that means that Danielle is 23 today!
21 Jul 2003
So I had my first day at Comcast today.
19 Jul 2003
I hate coming up with titles for posts.

Homeland Security, people!
17 Jul 2003
I knew this day would come eventually.
17 Jul 2003
So tomorrow’s the big day with PennLive.com.
16 Jul 2003
Today (well, yesterday) was another one of those days where I kept looking at TypePad, yet never actually posted anything.
15 Jul 2003
You may notice the new picture of me on this site.
14 Jul 2003
I got my free hot dogs, which was the bare minimum I needed for it to be a good time.
12 Jul 2003
Well kids, it’s time for me to hit the road if I ever want to get to Arts Fest.
11 Jul 2003
How long have I been unemployed now?
11 Jul 2003
Well, I didn’t post anything yesterday.
9 Jul 2003
Even after I made some modifications to my templates, my TypePad site is still valid XHTML.
9 Jul 2003
I wish TypePad integrated the MTEntryIfComments plugin functionality.
9 Jul 2003
Well the temp agency called me back today — I got the position with Comcast.
9 Jul 2003
Come on people, let’s all do the right thing.
9 Jul 2003
I think my TypePad weblog is really coming along nicely.
9 Jul 2003
I think you’ll see me making a lot more Photo albums than I would have previously with Movable Type.
8 Jul 2003
Hey kids, ol’ Illtron was selected as a beta tester for TypePad.
8 Jul 2003
OK, so here’s me using TypePad, and not allowed to say much.
8 Jul 2003
If it doesn’t break first, this post is being sent from my phone. Pretty cool.
8 Jul 2003
Well, well, well. Lookie at who got picked to help beta test TypePad.
5 Jul 2003
I saw the new Terminator tonight.
4 Jul 2003
OK, I updated Movable Type to version 2.64.
3 Jul 2003
Looks like it’s working, but I just wanted to be sure…
30 Jun 2003
I hate it when I’m wrong.
28 Jun 2003
I’ll make this quick and painless. This absolutely made my week.
28 Jun 2003
You may already know that I hate spiders.
28 Jun 2003
Good times are not so far away; I can tell.
28 Jun 2003
Yeah, so I haven’t been posting much. I am aware of this.
23 Jun 2003
OK, so this isn’t exactly the newest news, but I still think it’s fascinating.
23 Jun 2003
Danielle pointed a link over to this site, where it tells you about your brain or something.
21 Jun 2003
Apparently, Illtron is too busy screwing up easy mac and cleaning the pool to grace us with his presence.
11 Jun 2003
So I’ve been in Philly for a few weeks now, and I’m still not employed.
3 Jun 2003
So I don’t have the chance to get on here very often right now, nor do I have much to write about anyway.
28 May 2003
In case you didn’t hear it from Danielle, there’s a new member of the family at illtron.com.
25 May 2003
Aah, good ol’ Philly. Things are going well here so far.
22 May 2003
I’m back… again!
22 May 2003
Well today’s the day. I’m going to Philly.
15 May 2003
Well, I liked it.
14 May 2003
You know what day it is, don’t you?
13 May 2003
You might be wondering where the hell I’ve been.
9 May 2003
This one goes out to M3, crayz, cdevroe, and all the other geeks out there reading.
6 May 2003
I expect more from the Times.
4 May 2003
I’m finding it harder and harder to continue going to a job that I’ve already quit.
2 May 2003
I’m trying to make some changes to the site, but I’m coming up with nothing.
1 May 2003
When Steve Jobs speaks, people listen; often against all logic.
1 May 2003
Last night I gave Best Buy my two weeks notice.
30 Apr 2003
In case you haven’t heard by now, Apple introduced a new music service on Monday that lets you buy music on a per-song or per-album basis through the new version of iTunes.
30 Apr 2003
All right, so the redesign is coming along slowly but surely.
30 Apr 2003
I took this quiz a few minutes ago. It’s supposed to tell you what religion you are or something.
29 Apr 2003
After five days of sleeping on various air mattresses, floors, and other non-comfortable things that people who are not in their own home tend to sleep on, I’m absolutely exhausted.
27 Apr 2003
This one is at Yahoo! News…
27 Apr 2003
Seriously, I do this because I feel it’s my duty.
26 Apr 2003
Today is the official launch of The uberGeeks, the brainchild of Colin Devroe and Chris Fehnel.
26 Apr 2003
I’m doing an awful lot of this web page stuff today, when I should probably be drinking or getting fat or something.
26 Apr 2003
There’s a great interview with Cindy Cohn of The Electronic Frontier Foundation at Techfocus.
26 Apr 2003
There’s nothing quite as great as banned books. Just the entire concept is amazing to me.
26 Apr 2003
There’s a few things on my mind, but nothing so great as to trouble you, both of my readers.
23 Apr 2003
Wow, if you haven’t read the full text of Rick Santorum’s interview with the AP, you don’t know what you’re missing.
22 Apr 2003
Wow, what a great guy that Rick Santorum is.
22 Apr 2003
It gives absolutely no indication as to what will happen if you steal the sticker, so I stole it.
22 Apr 2003
Hey everybody, Nate has a weblog now too!
20 Apr 2003
This somehow eluded me for the better part of three weeks.
20 Apr 2003
So are all the housewife-blogs abuzz?
19 Apr 2003
This one jumped out at me…
17 Apr 2003
The Washington Post held an online Q&A session with Mo Rocca of The Daily Show today, and I got the first question in.
16 Apr 2003
Enough of that John Cusack stuff…
15 Apr 2003
The Damn Dirty Hippie, Danielle alerted me to this nonsense.
11 Apr 2003
This is kind of cool. It seems that Apple may be buying Vivendi Universal Music for possible inclusion in an upcoming online music service.
11 Apr 2003
Hey, I’ll be damned if it’s not my birthday!
10 Apr 2003
I’m just testing out the new image capabilities in Kung-Log 1.4. I love this app.
10 Apr 2003
There is concern that Saddam Hussein could turn up from time to time, like some sort of evil Elvis.
9 Apr 2003
Read this article.
7 Apr 2003
I have to say that Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf, the Iraqi Information Minister gets the Illtron award for best comedy.
6 Apr 2003
I was looking for pictures of the Brandenburg Gate the other day, and it reminded me that I have a whole bunch of pictures of Germany.
5 Apr 2003
No, not by me, though I’ve met the Flecktones a couple times, and they’re all really cool guys.
4 Apr 2003
Last night, I watched the CNN crew embedded with the 3-7th infantry find and give medical assistance to a wounded Iraqi soldier near Saddam International Airport.
31 Mar 2003
This one’s just creepy.
30 Mar 2003
I should probably mention, though it is belated, that Danielle has branched off, and formed her own cult.
30 Mar 2003
Last night at work I attempted to pick up a really heavy TV stand box. It probably weighed about 100 lb. I am now in pain.
26 Mar 2003
I’ve never really built a dynamic site like this before, and it’s far more complicated and ambitious than anything else that I’ve done in the past.
24 Mar 2003
I just thought the similarities here were striking, and felt the need to share.
21 Mar 2003
The shock and awe has begun.
21 Mar 2003
All right, so this war hasn’t been exactly chock full of the shock and awe that we were promised.
21 Mar 2003
As a journalist who has never been employed as such, I find it hard to watch this war on TV and think about it as an American.
20 Mar 2003
Al Gore appointed to Apple’s board of directors.
20 Mar 2003
This war’s not going to be over until it starts.
17 Mar 2003
It’s time to blow up Iraq!
15 Mar 2003
You never know, Brutus and Cassius might just sneak up behind you and kill you… or you might have to go to work at Best Buy.
14 Mar 2003
I’m definitely not holding my breath for that full-time position, so I think it’s safe to say that I’m quitting.
13 Mar 2003
But enough about me.
12 Mar 2003
For the last few days, I’ve been redesigning some pages on the super-secret project, and I’m finally back to where I started.
12 Mar 2003
Yeah, yeah, updates, whatever. I’ve got better things to do.
11 Mar 2003
I feel so special.
6 Mar 2003
Sorry for the lack of updates, kiddies, but I’ve been extremely busy lately.
28 Feb 2003
Danielle alerted me to this gem.
28 Feb 2003
I want to thank everyone who commented on my post about Mike.
26 Feb 2003
One morning in July of 1988, my sisters woke me up and told me that we got a dog.
22 Feb 2003
After that last post, I think we need to update the score.
22 Feb 2003
It’s time to get your game faces on, people.
21 Feb 2003
I was never more correct than when I said that no self-respecting weekend starts any later than Thursday.
20 Feb 2003
Everyone knows that no self-respecting weekend starts any later than Thursday.
20 Feb 2003
I suffered a nasty paper cut. It bled a lot.
19 Feb 2003
I don’t think my current pants will last much longer.
19 Feb 2003
Well, he picked the brunette. I think everyone predicted the rest.
18 Feb 2003
OK, my test was a failure… or a success. It’s hard to say. At any rate, here’s Danielle’s ass.
18 Feb 2003
Now that I think about it, this might be kind of awesome actually.
18 Feb 2003
The story of the recovery of the banner…
18 Feb 2003
I should probably be watching Joe Millionaire, but I’m not.
17 Feb 2003
OK, everybody knows that the guy with the big hair in North Korea is nuts.
15 Feb 2003
If you’re using Movable Type on a Mac, you need Kung-Log.
15 Feb 2003
Just a few minutes ago, I received a call from none other than Douche Bagalow himself, Matt Little.
15 Feb 2003
That God-forsaken CD burner just wouldn’t work.
12 Feb 2003
I realize I’m poor, but even I can afford $10 for a CD-RW drive.
11 Feb 2003
I was seriously misled
11 Feb 2003
Just in case you’ve been living in a cave, I feel obligated to inform everyone that tonight’s the last episode of Joe Millionaire, or as I like to call it, the greatest series finale of all time.
10 Feb 2003
Well, they finally changed the story…
9 Feb 2003
Danielle decided to share the brief, though touching history of her web design experience. I’m left with no choice but to follow suit.
9 Feb 2003
One of the great things about the Internet is that you can fix your mistakes.
8 Feb 2003
How do they allow stuff like this to make it to their web site?
8 Feb 2003
So did you hear the one about Great White killing 96 people?
7 Feb 2003
Hey, remember these freaks?
7 Feb 2003
It’s like the Wayne County Fair, but with more freaks. Well, not more freaks, just more potent freaks.
6 Feb 2003
I drop off the face of the earth for 24 hours or so, and all kinds of crazy stuff happens!
5 Feb 2003
Wish Danielle luck, and don’t try to steal her pile of money.
4 Feb 2003
Actually, February isn’t all that bad.
4 Feb 2003
My latest thought: People who refuse to drink until they turn 21 are god-damn idiots.
31 Jan 2003
Here’s a general rule of thumb: If a web site says “loading” at any point, you should get the hell out of there.
31 Jan 2003
I’m not sure what’s scarier…
31 Jan 2003
I wonder how good my German was in that last post?
31 Jan 2003
Weil ich mich langweile, dachte ich daß ich 'was auf Deutsch shreiben solltest.
30 Jan 2003
Have you seen these people?
29 Jan 2003
I’m too tired right now to post much, but I’ll give a rundown of the last 48 hours or so.
27 Jan 2003
Hey hey! It’s me! No, I’m not dead.
25 Jan 2003
OK, so I’ve only read one entry so far, but it was a good one
25 Jan 2003
Things are looking up.
24 Jan 2003
I don’t know if this has been mentioned in the media at all, but it’s really cold outside.
24 Jan 2003
I returned a movie I wasn’t going to watch today, and I picked up The Bourne Identity instead.
23 Jan 2003
Work wasn’t bad tonight. A guy gave me a $10 tip for helping him out. All I had to do was practically break my wrist getting it into his van in the 2º cold.
22 Jan 2003
I just got a call from Rodale, who publishes Men’s Health.
22 Jan 2003
Wired news has an excellent article on the end of Kevin Mitnick’s probation.
22 Jan 2003
This week’s Onion isn’t bad.
22 Jan 2003
I need to get on a normal sleep schedule.
21 Jan 2003
Just another test.
21 Jan 2003
This is just a test, but it’s more than that.
21 Jan 2003
I really think it’s time that Best Buy took the plunge and made me in charge of everything.
20 Jan 2003
Today is MLK Day.
20 Jan 2003
Hey everybody, it’s Beth’s birthday!
20 Jan 2003
Well the Golden Globes are over with
20 Jan 2003
So there it is. Pretty cool, huh?
20 Jan 2003
I didn’t like the idea of staying home while my friends were in State College gettin’ tore up all weekend.
17 Jan 2003
I’m trying to set up this stupid text counter, and the damn thing just won’t work
17 Jan 2003
Someone posted a comment on my post about work from earlier, and I was just going to respond in another comment, but since it was getting long, I figured I’d make a whole post out of it.
16 Jan 2003
The New York Times has a nice article on the last game at The Vet, which will be played this Sunday.
16 Jan 2003
If there’s one thing that pisses me off (and there’s not just one, there are many), it would have to be improperly tagged MP3s.
16 Jan 2003
I’ve run out of things to write about, and therefore I’m closing down the site.
15 Jan 2003
I must say, the Two Towers video game for PS2 is damn near as awesome as the movie.
14 Jan 2003
I’m testing out the auto trackback…
14 Jan 2003
I just realized how random I’ve become.
14 Jan 2003
Upgrade your gray matter… 'cause one day it may matter…
13 Jan 2003
Since I love Movable Type so much, and I had some money from failed hare-brained schemes sitting in my PayPal account, I decided to pay for this fine piece of software.
12 Jan 2003
Right now I’m using Safari on a much faster connection than mine, and I have to say that it is definitely a lot faster than Chimera.
12 Jan 2003
This being a weblog, and weblogs being the the type of place where stuff like this gets written, I should probably mention that Bee Gee Maurice Gibb has died.
12 Jan 2003
It was in the car.
12 Jan 2003
I have no idea where my camera is.
12 Jan 2003
I have to say that I’m really taking a liking to Safari.
12 Jan 2003
So uh, they approved the credit, and I can get the car.
11 Jan 2003
I was going to buy a car.
9 Jan 2003
What kind of Mac weblog type guy would I be if I didn’t talk about Safari?
8 Jan 2003
I’m like fucking Gandalf… the world would just fucking implode without me to set things straight.
7 Jan 2003
Today marks the opening of Mac World San Francisco 2003.
7 Jan 2003
Rather than sleeping, which is what I should be doing, I decided to do some work on the site.

Saddam Hussein needs your help.
5 Jan 2003
You know how I have a shitty job? Yeah, it just got shittier.
4 Jan 2003
The RIAA honestly has no idea what they’re up against.
4 Jan 2003
I was just admiring the picture I took earlier.
4 Jan 2003
Unlike me, you probably spend a lot of time parked in front of the television
4 Jan 2003
I woke up approximately an hour and a half after I went to sleep, and about six hours before I intended to get up.
4 Jan 2003
If you don’t know who David Cross is, then you’re probably like most people.
2 Jan 2003
You know, the fact that I have a shitty job in and of itself doesn’t bother me that much.
2 Jan 2003
Digital photography — it’s like regular photography, only not as good and way more complicated.™
2 Jan 2003
The best part of my trip to Philly had to be the fact that I finally got my new digital camera!
2 Jan 2003
I don’t do the whole resolution thing, but I really need to clean up my desktop
2 Jan 2003
The new year is starting off pretty well.
1 Jan 2003
So I notice your house smells of feces. And not just monkey feces…
31 Dec 2002
I know that plenty of people complain that laws like this one violate their rights, but I really don’t give a damn what they think.
30 Dec 2002
I really like my web site.
29 Dec 2002
In addition to the new way of posting comments, I also added permalinks for each entry.
29 Dec 2002
I made a nice change to the site.
29 Dec 2002
This is just a test™.
28 Dec 2002
Working and earning money, no matter how little money, is all well and good.
27 Dec 2002
That’s right, a rich white guy with a cowboy hat has won the Powerball jackpot.
25 Dec 2002
I’d have to say that this is definitely a first.
24 Dec 2002
One day until Christmas, not too bad.
23 Dec 2002
Do you really pat yourself on the back when people buy the quality stuff?
23 Dec 2002
All right, so I sell stupid crap at Best Buy all day long.
22 Dec 2002
Man, that Sony Wega is sweet, sweet lovin’.
19 Dec 2002
I had a good trip to State College. It’s always a good trip to State College.
19 Dec 2002
I thought I just forgot to update yesterday, but that’s not really it.
18 Dec 2002
I have a big day ahead of me today.
18 Dec 2002
So I’m really making some progress with the site.
17 Dec 2002
Yeah… I kick so much ass.
17 Dec 2002
I’ve nearly got this figured out! So close!
15 Dec 2002
Man, for an editor I sure do write pretty damn sloppy.
15 Dec 2002
I’d just like to take this time to ask everyone out there reading to please, please encode your MP3s at no less than 128 kbps.
14 Dec 2002
I’m still working on getting these problems fixed.
13 Dec 2002
OK, I don’t know exactly what I did, but my new favorites icon is working.
13 Dec 2002
I’m making progress, but some stuff just refuses to work.
12 Dec 2002
All right, so here’s where I stand with this redesign.
12 Dec 2002
This is not an emergency.
12 Dec 2002
OK, so yeah, I’m still making changes. It’s actually coming along quicker than I thought it would.
12 Dec 2002
I’ve been overcome by ambition and some strange effects of the f’d up weather
11 Dec 2002
Man, I swear, if I were one of those weirdos who gets all obsessed with weather, today would be the greatest day of my life.
11 Dec 2002
Yeah, I made a change to the site. Can you tell?
10 Dec 2002
I have to say that the only thing that sucks more than Bil Keane’s sense of humor is paying bills.
8 Dec 2002
Not too long ago I was complaining that I wasn’t working enough.
7 Dec 2002
You may experience some technical difficulties with illtron.com in the near future.
5 Dec 2002
It’s snowing. It’s been snowing since 7 a.m.
5 Dec 2002
I should probably post something before the day is over.
3 Dec 2002
No, I’m not talking about all the holiday crap.
3 Dec 2002
Here’s the view from the top.
3 Dec 2002
My new favorite word, for use exclusively online, and even then, only on AIM and IRC, is “fuxor.”
1 Dec 2002
Well it’s December 1. And as you know, that means that people start being nice to each other “because it’s the holidays.”
28 Nov 2002
Holy shit I worked a long day today.
27 Nov 2002
I was just playing around in Photoshop earlier, and I came up with this…
27 Nov 2002
So did you hear the one about the stupid people?
26 Nov 2002
OK, I’ve decided to go to Walmart today so that I can pick up some sort of solution to my problem.
26 Nov 2002
Is that great news or what?
26 Nov 2002
Please, don’t be afraid when I tell you this.
25 Nov 2002
But why is it growing?
25 Nov 2002
I spent the better part of tonight doing some fall cleaning of my other computer, where I keep all of my MP3s.
25 Nov 2002
I’ve decided to pay AT&T, begrudgingly.
24 Nov 2002
I’m trying to think up a list of corporate “hip” words.
24 Nov 2002
"Better to keep your mouth closed and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."
24 Nov 2002
There are some fucking nutty people out there.
24 Nov 2002
Being the shill that I am, I have plenty of time to ponder the motivations of my corporate overlords.
23 Nov 2002
I’ve actually got some money this year, so I’m going to do some Christmas shopping today after work.
22 Nov 2002
My friend Danielle’s site sucked so hard that I made a weblog for her, right here at the mighty illtron.com.
22 Nov 2002
I’d just like to take this time to give a shout out to the good people at Staples, who make a fine 9"x12" clasp envelope.
22 Nov 2002
I decided to take a break from the norm with my resumes.
21 Nov 2002
You know, it’s never good to hear about someone getting killed. But here’s an easy way to avoid it.
21 Nov 2002
CNN posted a link with the story about idiots, I mean people who are idiots, I mean you. The story about you, that’s it.
20 Nov 2002
I like to use my site as a way of bitching about other people and how stupid they are.
15 Nov 2002
Man, I’m on a messed up sleep schedule.
14 Nov 2002
OK, now yesterday I said that I had more to say about the Attack of the Clones DVD.
14 Nov 2002
You know, it’s staggering how easy it is to find information on people online.
13 Nov 2002
Here’s some stuff for today. And yesterday too, I guess.
11 Nov 2002
I hate it when I forget to sleep.
9 Nov 2002
So last night I tried to go see 8 Mile. That didn’t pan out, for various reasons. Let’s say it was poor planning.
8 Nov 2002
"If getting ahead in life is your aim … then simply showing up is the main part of the game!!"
7 Nov 2002
I felt the need to beat a dead horse, just a little bit more. I promise I’m probably done after this.
6 Nov 2002
I should probably be saving the A material for the new project I’m working on, but I just couldn’t resist this.
5 Nov 2002
Yeah, so I haven’t posted anything in like a month. Sue me. I’m lazy and I’ve had nothing to write about.
10 Oct 2002
I don’t think I need preferential treatment.
8 Oct 2002
Shouldn’t I be asleep? Well, yeah, I guess I should.
8 Oct 2002
There’s nothing wrong with talking up some good stuff, is there? Excellent.
8 Oct 2002
OK, so I went to the orthodontist and he didn’t take the retainer off.
7 Oct 2002
Today represents a major milestone in my life.
7 Oct 2002
Wow, I managed to go another week without updating. What a great way to run a daily weblog. I rule.
1 Oct 2002
I picked up a couple of CDs yesterday, and I highly recommend them.
1 Oct 2002
Jeebus, September went by hella fast.
30 Sep 2002
So I have my second interview tomorrow for the Apple Store.
28 Sep 2002
Today was pay day.
26 Sep 2002
So last night at around 10:15, I got word from Larry that I had an interview today at the place he works at.
26 Sep 2002
Just to brag, I figured I’d post a list of places that I’ve been to.
25 Sep 2002
Either I’m just tired from not getting enough sleep, or I just really, really don’t want to go to work today.
24 Sep 2002
So I had today off, and I actually needed it.
24 Sep 2002
A recap of the weekend…
20 Sep 2002
It wasn’t a bad day by any means.
19 Sep 2002
Just in case nobody knows what the hell I’m talking about with all this Mr. Show stuff, I figure I’ll explain it.
19 Sep 2002
Go download Get ur freak on by Eels. It’s by far the superior version.
18 Sep 2002
So today I plan to send out my résumé for that associate editor job, and I also have a phone interview with Apple for its forthcoming King of Prussia store.
17 Sep 2002
I decided that I need theme music.
17 Sep 2002
In an effort to get on the good side with the higher-ups at Best Buy, I’m staying late whenever they need me, and picking up shifts from other people.
17 Sep 2002
When I got home from work, there was a message for me that someone from Apple called me about the Apple Store that’s going to be built in King of Prussia.
17 Sep 2002
Work was great today.
16 Sep 2002
I finally broke down last week and decided to move in
16 Sep 2002
Now that I’m rich and influential, I need to catch up on my music.
16 Sep 2002
Today was cool.
16 Sep 2002
Normally, I have something bad to say about pretty much everything and everyone.
14 Sep 2002
Today was an average day.
14 Sep 2002
I got paid today. $132 of pure profit.
14 Sep 2002
Best Buy is not a yard sale.
13 Sep 2002
Man, this working thing is giving me a serious yeast infection.
13 Sep 2002
I just go around to looking at this week’s edition of The Onion, and it doesn’t seem to be nearly as awful as the last few weeks.
13 Sep 2002
I’m never going to make any money working at Best Buy.
13 Sep 2002
Nothing ever just works.
12 Sep 2002
Wow, I didn’t realize it had been a week
12 Sep 2002
Wow, I’ve been slacking off. Too much work and not enough weblog make Chris a productive member of society.
5 Sep 2002
For all intents and purposes, I start work at 9 a.m. today.
5 Sep 2002
Gushers would have to be the biggest scam in the history of man.
3 Sep 2002
Aside from that thing about needing to impose our will on the rest of the world, we Americans have few obsessions. Food and television are two of them. Sports is another.
3 Sep 2002
I had my first day at Best Buy yesterday
1 Sep 2002
Jesus, I can’t believe it’s September already.
1 Sep 2002
I’d say I’m an avid drinker, but that’s not entirely true.
29 Aug 2002
I guess this is noteworthy to post on here because this is supposed to be my record of what happens after a person graduates.
28 Aug 2002
OK, this is going to be long. And while it isn’t going to be pretty, it needs to be done.
25 Aug 2002
I hate it when I forget that I have this.
25 Aug 2002
Which colossal death robot am I?
25 Aug 2002
If you’re not reading Wil Wheaton’s weblog at www.wilwheaton.net, you’re missing out.
24 Aug 2002
I think it’s finally happening. The rest of my life, that is.
23 Aug 2002
My best friend in the whole wide world, CNN.com, tells me that the oldest living American died at age 114.
23 Aug 2002
Most people assume, incorrectly, that it takes a shotgun or chainsaw to quickly and effectively kill the undead.
20 Aug 2002
I just thought that this was such a cool site that I had to show it to everyone. It’s backwards-Google.
20 Aug 2002
I just saw on Headline News that Penn State was ranked the #4 party school in the country.
19 Aug 2002
MTV really is crap.
17 Aug 2002
I hear a lot of people say how “scary” movies scare them.
16 Aug 2002
I hate to have to do this, but it’s come to it.
16 Aug 2002
I know I’d take some shit for this if anybody ever read my site, but here’s another thing that’s been bugging me for a few weeks now.
15 Aug 2002
I have nothing to write about.
14 Aug 2002
Summer’s all well and good, but personally I prefer cold weather.
14 Aug 2002
Well, I had a good weekend.
13 Aug 2002
Software piracy will cost the computer industry at least $129 this year.
13 Aug 2002
I promised I’d give a shout out to Missy.
9 Aug 2002
Man, if all those companies with jobs for me could just see how many times I check the AP Stylebook while writing this crap.
9 Aug 2002
Everyone knows Saddam Hussein is a nut. But have you ever heard the rumors that the guy’s got like a 180 IQ?
9 Aug 2002
Ok, so every year at Old Home Week, the center of all the action is the beer tent.
7 Aug 2002
I don’t even know why they bothered with this. From what I hear, it was a pretty sad event. And by sad, I mean pathetically sad.
6 Aug 2002
It’s not supposed to be funny, it just is. Right. It’s not supposed to be an awful ripoff of The Osbornes, except totally lacking in any entertainment value, it just is, is more like it.
6 Aug 2002
The Wayne County Fair. What a piece of shit.
5 Aug 2002
Well, I graduated. It wasn’t a terribly exciting thing. The realization of what happened didn’t really even set in until the next day, when I was the only one left.
1 Aug 2002
Every year, at a time picked to precisely coincide with the only day it will rain in three months, Forest City has its annual Old Home Week.
1 Aug 2002
Did you ever get a cut or something, and think, "Hey, I had better put a Band-Aid or something on this so I don’t get gangrene or some other similarly bad thing and die?"
1 Aug 2002
If there’s one thing I love, it’s drinking. And that’s one thing that Old Home Week is great for.
31 Jul 2002
Well this is the first entry in my new weblog. I refuse to call it a “blog.”
