O'Reilly has really done it this time.

Zell Miller: The Worst of All Political Worlds

September 2, 2004 I really am going to do some personal updates soon--music and family stuff--but Zell Miller's moronic tirade at the Republican National Convention last night just couldn't be passed up. This guy is a dillusioned nitwit. God help Georgia--and trust me, I care--my folks live there. Folks, stop drinking the Kool Aid. I just can't believe reasonable, intelligent, independent thinking people can be honest with themselves and want these folks to continue to run our country...

Bill O'Reilly is Scum

August 10, 2004 No real need to explain. O'Reilly, and most of Fox News, are the worst kind of idiots. Wrap yourself in the flag, shout ignorance and distortion, and claim you're objective--all the while saying any other opinion amounts to treasons.

Rock, Paper, Saddam

July 12, 2004 My buddy Greg passed this along. Definitely good for a chuckle.

Tara

The Peach Pages

January 25, 2004 (Revised March 4, 2004) A fun-filled glance into the life of my sister-in-law, Tara.

Life throws all of us some curves from time to time...take it from someone who caught the ball. A series of thoughts, columns and articles about marriage, parenting and life.

Doug's New Truck

November 8, 2003 Got a new truck today. It's a 2004 Toyota Sequoia SR5.

Here are some pics:

And here's some information from the Toyota site about mine:

  • Main page
  • Options - I have the Alloy Wheel Package #2, the Convenience Package, and most of the Available Options (no moonroof).

Catching Up

April 30, 2003 OK, I'm behind. Way behind. War's pretty much over and the UA got bounced from March Madness a few rounds early.

Still working on finishing up the gear section, the hobbies section, and adding some more up to date family pics.

Also getting ready to dive in to learning Perl, PHP and MySQL on my new server/domain, dougfloyd.com. I'll be building out some ColdFusion-based application work soon in my RD development area. I may even try to get all three servers to work together some how. I'll keep you posted.

I've been working with my buddy, Paul Curtis, on a job hunt. He's been a Strategic Engagements Manager for Merant for several years, but was recently a victim of "right sizing." Paul's currently in Portland, Oregon, but looking to relocate back to Arizona.

March Madness

MARCH 27, 2003 Between basketball craziness and Gulf War 2, I've been distracted from updating with new music, pics or content. Will get back to that soon--swamped with project work at the office too--but until then, feel the joy of the Wildcats thumping the Fighting Irish [Stats]. Next up, Kansas. Here's some info from our game earlier in the year. Recap | Box Score

Gear Online

MARCH 18, 2003 I finally got a chance to put some of my gear online. For you guitar fans, please check it out my guitar collection.

The French

MARCH 17, 2003 A friend passed some funny France jokes my way the other day. Thought I'd drop them here:

"I don't know why people are surprised that France won't help us get Saddam out of Iraq. After all, France wouldn't help us get the Germans out of France!" --Jay Leno

Marriage doesn't make you happy

MARCH 17, 2003 CNN has an interesting piece today that you should give a quick read if you're married.

March Madness is here!

MARCH 16, 2003 The Wildcats got their #1 seed in the West, but have a tough bracket. Go read about it. Or check out the SI coverage.
