apartment hunting sucks. please help.

I can find a place. That's easy. There are hundreds of open apartments near my work that I can afford. And, maybe the answer is… just rent one and stop caring. But, I'd like to make one last attempt at finding something better than… average. I'm going to use a different kind of search engine: [...]

three cheers for TransUnion

After all of these credit issues, I thought it might be wise to look at my credit report from all three agencies in order to make sure there is no other incorrect or unknown information on them. Each of the agencies make the credit reports available to you online. This is a good thing. Unfortunately, [...]

credit agencies: why can't I report information too?

It seems rather unfair that an agency in the United States can hold, duplicate, and distribute possibily fraudulent or misrepresented information about an individual. Especially since this information is never distributed to the person it describes unless a formal request is made. Additionally, since the contesting process takes so long consumers should have a method [...]

credit clear… I hope

Yesterday, Jess and I drove to Mesquite for lunch in order to pay off the last of the apartment bills. Now everything is taken care of (and we're $1101.30 poorer). Next, we need to drive to the new apartment and show them that everything has been taken care of. Then I'll make copies of all [...]

June 26th is National Sodomy Day

In a 6-3 decision, the United States Supreme Court declared a Texas State law banning private consensual sodomy between same-sexed individuals to be unconstitutional. There are currently five states that prohibit such activities. There are an additional nine states that prohibit sodomy between heterosexuals and homosexuals alike. This decision renders those laws unconstitutional as well. [...]

bBlog wish list

Just so that this is documented somewhere, below is my wishlist for bBlog. Some of these things are so trivial a monkey could implement them. Some of them are so specific to my needs that no one else would ever use them. Others would require so much recoding it might not be worth it. A [...]

revjim.net: powered by bBlog

I'm sure you're wondering, so I'll tell you. The new engine behind revjim.net is bBlog. My setup isn't stock, but it's close. Let me go over some of my changes.
Of course I'm not using the default templates — I've rewritten them all to my liking. It's fairly easy to do given the flexible nature of [...]

country living

Jess and I are house-sitting for my parents in Keller while they go on a short vacation to New Mexico. They should be back Sunday night.
It's very odd to live in this house again. My bed isn't here anymore, so we're sleeping in my parents bed (with clean sheets, thank you very much). Everything here [...]

Movable Type sucks

Movable Type sucks. So… bye bye.
Some stuff is broke. I just don't care.

Across the Street Bar

I really need to just shut off the left side of my brain for a while. So I'm considering going out to the Across the Street Bar for the Wednesday night Drum Circle. Are there any other drum owners that would be interested in going?
