Driving home tonight after a delicious meal, my daughter, spontaneous as ever, looks up at me and in her best pirate expression growls; “Arghh! I’m a pirate!”.
What followed was a conversation between a three-year-old pirate, her parrot Steve and me, her “Pirate Daddy”.
Zoe: Arggh! I’m a pirate. You are a pirate too.
Me: Avast, ye scurvy sea dog! Y’best walk the plank.
Zoe: Okay. Daddy, this plank is heavy. I can’t carry it.
Me: (laughing) I said walk the plank, not carry it.
Zoe: I put it down here. That was so heavy, Pirate Daddy.

There are a few things I’d like to accomplish in my life before my time comes. Many of these will probably never happen while others have a greater chance of actually being fulfilled.
It’s not matter of when but how and using what for most, but for the sake of posterity and for fun here they are:
Jamaican Bobsledding
I’m not sure who to thank, Cool Runnings or John Candy, but I’d love to represent and make Jamaica proud by sliding down an icy slope with other strangers as crazy as me.

After much deliberation and temporary insanity I’ve moved this site to its new home at MediaTemple.
The neighbors here are pretty great. No cookies yet, but lawns are mowed, my mailbox is still standing and I’ve since removed the RamboLux security system. I kept the guard dog however so intruders beware!
My mail carrier is some friendly chap named Google. He’s helpful but the guard dog keeps a watchful eye in his direction.
For the time being the grid is stable and all my stuff is in order, save for a broken Mint. That’s okay though, I’ll just fix that later because I’ve got other fish to fry.

For those who aren’t aware Dreamhost experienced a security breach. According to Dreamhost, approximately 3,500 accounts were compromised, the hackers taking note of FTP user accounts, user names and passwords.
With this data the hackers, using an automated script of some sort, added SEO links/inframes to every instance of index.html or php.
This is the last straw. I’ve been with Dreamhost since mid-2004 and recommended them on more than one occasion and even went so far as defending them when others complained about slow service or half-baked customer support, the latter being something I never experienced.
