Anarchy / To hang or not to hang?

« on: July 05, 2006, 04:25:11 PM »

That is the question.

I am starting a new job soon and I will be getting an office (finally, I am sick of keeping my office stuff boxed up in the corner of my apt.!). My question is this: I have several diplomas/credentials that I would like to hang in my office. However, it may seem a bit overkill to some of the clients that I will be servicing...seeing that many of them have little or no education.

Does the desire to show that I am qualified outway the desire to make my clients comfortable? Or vice versa?

Anarchy / 69

« on: July 02, 2006, 02:36:06 AM »

I just noticed that the Anarchy subdivision now has 69 pages in total.

Woo hoo!

But seriously...I don't really enjoy the 69 position...I've had lil' Phife rubbed the wrong way with teeth too many times!

~~EDIT~~ Now there are 70 pages...

Anarchy / German

« on: June 21, 2006, 03:08:39 AM »

I am taking German for Graduate Students.

Today was my first class.

Anyone here speak and/or read German well?

Any hints as to learning it in a timely fashion?

And what do you think of the "learn a language by immersion" theory? That is what my professor is going to try and do with us.

New Geeks on the Block / Hola. Como Esta Usted?

« on: February 01, 2006, 05:58:22 AM »

Hi there. I am Phife. I am 26, working on my Ph.D. (geeky enough for you?), in a relationship (yes, with a woman), and tired as hell right now (so hopefully this will make sense!).

Here goes:

I like to read. I read CS Lewis, Tolkien, Palahnuik, Arthur C. Clarke, R.A. Salvatore, King, Elaine Cunningham, Terry Brooks, N.T. Wright, I. Howard Marshall, Raymond Brown, Robert Sawyer, and lots of other stuff too.

I like to write. I write non-fiction (academic religion stuff) mostly, but I have been increasingly interested in fiction. I am working on three projects right now, one of which will be published next year. And no, I will not tell you the title or my real name. I have enough stalkers as it is!

I like music. I play the guitar (acoustic blues mostly) and I try to sing (but I suck). As far as what I listen to...it runs the whole gamut: System of a Down, Dianna Krall, KoRn, Brahms, Metallica, Montgomery Gentry, T.I., John Mayer, Wu Tang, Stevie Ray Vaughan (my all time favourite), amongst many, many more.

I live movies. My favourite is The Princess Bride. Tied for second are the first Matrix, Braveheart, and Hoosiers. Tied for third is anything with hot chicks in it that get naked. Tied for fourth is any movie about sports.

Which leads me to this: I like sports. My teams are the Cowboys and the Cubs...though I follow all the other (US) sports and teams religiously. I am not excited about Super Bowl XL at all if you are curious...but Pittsburgh is going to win.

Hmm...I guess that's about it. I can be a post whore...hope that's okay here...and is anyone else interested in sports around here? If so, we need a thread!
