This is one of the best short stories I’ve read – it’s called “The Last Question” by Isaac Asimov.

Philip With One L
Why do people take it upon themselves to add an extra L to my name when it only has one? Even when I fill out forms with one L, I often end up seeing resulting documentation with my name mispelled. 95% of the time when I see my name elsewhere it’s only one L so why do people seem to lean towards 2 L’s?

Crow Invasion
My front AND back yards are packed with crows right now and a lot of them are flying around randomly. Two other yards across the street are also filled with them. It’s kind of creepy! What the heck is up with these crows gathering like this?

Valuable Host Sucks
I’ve been blogging for a while now but the reason there’s nothing before November 2003 is because my previous web host, Valuable Host, deleted all of my data before I could retrieve it.

With all the new characters, each episode jumps all over the place and it feels really disjointed. I understand they’re trying to advance the story of each character in parallel but it doesn’t work. Even though it’s all over the place, oddly it still feels like the overall plot is moving pretty slow.

This is an Aside
I’ve created a new category called Asides which is for random thoughts or other things that I feel like mentioning that’ll usually be very short and not worth an entire blog post about. This is the first aside and an example.

ViaTalk is Okay, Not That Good
So a couple months ago, I switched my phone service to ViaTalk from SunRocket. ViaTalk so far has worked okay but their customer support is exceedingly poor. It’s my understanding that they received a huge influx of customers fleeing SunRocket which overloaded their support staff. But even now, support response times take weeks and months. I’m not kidding. I’m a light support user generally, but they took forever answering my support tickets, which were not complicated issues at all.
