A couple of co-workers and I decided to play a friendly game of darts over our lunch hour today. In the process, we experienced our very own “fail“. We were playing a certain type of dart game that I was unfamiliar with. Basically, you begin with 300 points and you continue to throw the darts, […]
Well, that was a surprise
Clinton narrowly edges out Obama in the New Hampshire primary. The race for the Democratic nomination is obviously far from over. But there are still many more contests on the horizon, and many, many more delegates to win. I wonder if Hillary’s small boost came from her experiment with emotions or from her attack dog, […]
Obama gaining more ground
Looks like my man Barack Obama is doing very well for himself in New Hampshire. Kos is predicting a win. With a resounding victory in Iowa, a follow-up in New Hampshire will put him on very solid footing for the rest of the Democratic nomination campaign cycle. And then, it’s a harsh fight against whoever […]
My first caucus
I don’t usually talk about politics around Nerdflood, but now seems like a good time to start.

For at least a majority of the internet-roving public, this should now officially be nerdflood.com, and no longer a simple redirect to nerdflood.wordpress.com. Some others of you may still be seeing a weird, bright red GoDaddy web parking space, in which case you couldn’t actually read this blog post. Which means this is basically the […]
Dave Kellet hates New Jersey
It’s true. He also hates Mississippi. I saw it on the internet. I’ve always loved how New Jersey is called “The Garden State”. That’s the equivalent of saying “Mississippi: The Education State!”
Happy 2007, all!
Happy New Year to everyone! I’ll be posting my new year’s resolutions sometime later today, in between bouts of work finishing up my big 2006 project. I don’t think I’ll be making any predictions, since I find myself horrendously bad at that sort of thing.
New header graphic
