Still eating a shit ton of bacon and enjoying every bit of it.

Fathers Day 2011

My son made me the best card ever, it says:

I Love you dad.
I like cooking with you.
I like to ride on motorcycle with you.
I like to play video games with you.
You are the best Dad in the world.

Love <3

And he bought me a cupcake cooking tray cause he loves to help me make egg cupcakes for the days I have to pack breakfast and lunch for work.

Thanks, buddy.. I love you too

SB hits 8 year mark

8 years, same shit, another year of useless information on here.
Only reason I keep this site up is for the old posts. Especially the Bacon Post, because everything’s better with Bacon.

Facebook selling you out

rip — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 19:30:48 +0000

Good article from InfoWorld about Facebook selling you out: http://www.infoworld.com/d/the-industry-standard/why-facebook-selling-you-out-and-wont-stop-322

I know I always get the, “I only use it for keeping up with friends and family”, well they are already online so whats wrong with email?, does everyone need to know who your friends are and what you are doing, If you care that much make it more personable and email those people directly?

Call me the conspiracy theorist on this, but it is what it is… Facebook’s making so much money and their just passing your information along to 3rd parties and developers can get this same information as well.

If you want to delete your account you can do it here: https://ssl.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=delete_account

I’ll step off my soapbox, I made my point!!

Pass this along to whoever you want.

For those of you that listen, “Your Welcome”

Today you turn 7,
It only seemed like yesterday you where a gift from heaven
As you continue to grow,
You never stop to amaze me, the emotions you show
So enjoy your day with your family and friends
And remember I will always be here for you until the end
Continue to be the person you are, be yourself and be a Simple Man
I LOVE YOU, Love Dad

Stop bothering me

I am NOT your personal tech support.
I am NOT the person to vent to because I don’t give a fuck.
Keep ALL your problems to yourself.

Well another year has past, sad to say its basically just me running the show.
Can I even call it a show, its just a blog.
For the people that do follow along, I have added lyrics, quotes and beer categories to the site. My ventures in homebrewing are still there, just haven’t been moving to fast on creating a new batch, guess I can blame the economy like everyone else does…
Honestly I think its all a bunch of fucking BULLSHIT.. This just gives companies an excuse to trim the fat from their over bloated, over paid jobs that seemed to be needed before. Can’t you just say, I was lazy and hired someone else to do my job.

2 words I already hate hearing are: Recession and Depression, I guess just saying a bunch of people in charge fucked up is not politically correct.

Office Complainers

rip — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 12:40:11 +0000

A couple weeks ago we moved from our suburb office back to our previous downtown office.
The move itself I didn’t mind, the only drawback is paying for parking… other than that I have no problems working downtown as it has some perks like actually walking to lunch, seeing the waterfront, watching bums in the park, whatever… but there are some stubborn coworkers that refuse to accept the fact this is where they will be working for a long time.
These few people honestly have nothing better to do than to find the smallest things to complain about, like:

how they actually have to walk an entire block from the parking ramp to the office
my umbrella turned inside out, like it never happened before
It took me 10 minutes to park my car
I miss going to the mall to go shopping during lunch
the printer is too far away

My answers are:

most of you need the exercise
buy a real umbrella, not the tiny one that fits in your purse
learn to park better,faster
shop online as the mall downtown doesn’t have much to offer
don’t use the printer, write it out by hand and the exercise won’t hurt

My complaints to them:

you talk to loud and the cigarettes make your voice even more annoying
who cares about your boyfriend/girlfriend/transient
where some quiet shoes, I swear you can strike oil wearing them
do you job and shut up
DO NOT USE THE SPEAKER PHONE TO CHECK VOICEMAIL

This topic has been slightly mentioned in one of my previous posts, but it needed some more attention.

Pimp My Drobo!!

SB is 5 years old

rip — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 19:43:09 +0000

As of 4/18/2008 Snowbrain is officially been running for 5 years.
Not much to say, we started with 3 members and got up to and still have 5 members but with everyones lives changing (jobs/kids/hobbies) there is not as much time for blogging for everyone. So I would foresee most the activity this year being mostly from me. Which is fine as I know my other members still check in from time to time and leave comments as needed.
Heres to another year!!

Below are the previous links to celebrate this day:
