When did Brian get robbed??

You guys were telling stories about the scariest things that happened to you on an old show. Larry’s was being stuck in Detroit on the corner of Rosa Parks and MLK with the Soprano brothers, or something. Kevin mentioned Brian getting robbed in Chicago, but Brian didn’t regard that moment as very scary. He’s hardcore.

Well, in Brian's world, he finds supernatural things more "scary" than real life.  I think the robbery happened so fast it didn't make that much of an impact on him.  He was in Chicago, I believe, and a guy asked him and his friend for help with his car.  They followed him down an alleyway, he pulled a gun.  Brian didn't have any money, but his friend had $20 and the guy took that and left.  This was while he was in the Navy.

I believe my Aunt was robbed at gun point and her purse was taken.  That was in Los Angeles somewhere.  When my Mom lived in Inglewood, she had a guy trying to break into her apartment a couple times.  One dude climbed up to her balcony and tried to get in that way.  She was looking right at him as she called the police.  Another guy tried to get in the front door.  Also when she lived in Westchester, someone came to her door and asked her to open it and let him in.  Which she didn't.  Single woman...  Problems.

Cancer Update for 05/20/2013

  On Friday when I wrote the last update, she was very much out of it and I didn't think she'd make it to Saturday.  However, by Saturday morning she was a bit more alert.  She knew who I was and responded when I said, "Good Morning" by repeating that and saying, "Kevin" as well.  So that is a good sign in terms of where she should be mentally and where she actually is.Things are confusing because she has "any minute death" symptoms like muscle wasting (Her arms and legs are loose skin and…See More

Cancer Update for 05/18/2013

  We're at the end of the line.  She's not expected to make it past the weekend at this rate.  Her decline from semi-alert but confused, to completely out of it was rapid.   She can still eat and drink but no longer has any conversation and does not really know much else about what is happening. Though she is generally comfortable when on medication and continues to breath normally.  At this point, I'm waiting for "labored breathing" which is apparently what is the last stage of this.  When…See More

Raspberry Pi

I bought a Raspberry Pi today.  Primarily to use it as the mining computer for my ASIC rigs.  I had a temptation to get a netbook and use that, since the interface would be more open ended running Windows and everything.  But the Raspberry Pi is "neat" and it only runs on 1.5watts to 3watts.  Which is ridiculous.  In order to get maximum ROI the wattage needs to be low.  Hopefully doesn't turn into a nightmare to get up and working.  Though there are many straight forward examples.  I'm not new…See More

Cancer Update for 05/08/2013

  So, after coming home from work on Tuesday, Mom was laying flat resting and they had installed the catheter.  While this relieved a lot of the stomach pain she was having (Most pain, unless she moved around and then got shots of back pain.) she appeared very much lethargic and tired.Since then, she's been unable to eat and drink on her own.  I have to give her one pill at a time, and feed her, but she doesn't eat much.  I believe this is because she has to concentrate to swallow, and that is…See More

How’s the computer programming field coming along?

A blog post I just read, published back in 2007, about the field of computer programming expressed several traits of irritation that I had previously heard Kevin voice on the podcast.Some of the members on this forum are in the programming field, I think; is the typical job as arduous and unromantic as this blogger depicted the profession six years ago? He describes the knowledge decay unique to this field, along with its low degree of prestige and high susceptibility to “foreignization”. The…See More
