A juggling technophile shares personal stories, challenges, humor and perhaps some political commentary.
I was tickled to see Hurley (Jorge Garcia) on Becker last night! On Becker he played Hector Lopez (2003-2004).
Looks like he’s scored himself a movie for 2006! Sweetzer is a comedy that was in post-production on Sept 7 2005. Jorge gets third billing as the character Sergio.
Wow! Lost has done him well for the talk show scene.
Student: My life is living me.
Master: What’s your plan?
Gets THAT from her mother!
Amy: “Mom! Would you open the gate for me. I don’t know how.”
Clacketty clacketty rattle squeak
Amy: “Oh! I do know how!”
I cleaned the office a bit while my computer was “down” and scanning for viruses.
Amy: “Dad. Where’s this thing that belongs in here?”
Dad: “I cleaned. It’s gone.”
Amy: “But I don’t want it gone.”
Dad: “Doesn’t it look better?”
She then goes and sits on the stairs. Sings:
“And you don’t know what to do with dinner”
“I don’t know what to do so I’m just sitting singing”
“You do know what to do with cat poo” (maybe that was food)
“You don’t know what to do”
oops. Dad interupted. “I’m singing. Don’t talk to me while I’m singing.”
“You don’t know what to do with steps.”
“You do know what to do with cat food.”
New age punishments. Don’t take away their toys, just give them something substandard. This video is an amusing account of a PSP ripoff.
I neglected to report big news in the house. Evan’s two lower front teeth have made their appearance! So added to the bangs, crashes, cries, Wiggles, and other assorted morning noises we add, “slurp slurp OW!” and sometimes some less than muffled cursing that when the kids repeat at church or pre-school I’ll be blamed.
tidbit – That’s a cool word!
It wouldn’t be a day without some reference to Lost. I found what claims to be the transcriptions of the whispers! Pretty cool. This link surfaced in a review on Ray Camden’s site.
I’ve been encouraging people to check out Rocketboom and Wednesday I posted The Right Way To Do A Video Blog. In the process I discovered Amanda Congdon has her own wikipedia entry. I also discovered this amusing post by Alec Muffett who analyzed his server logfiles to people visiting him looking for Amanda Congdon information with 29% of them trying to find her naked.
So that’s 192 people searching for information about Ms Congdon, 29% of whom are searching along with the word “naked”.
Alec offers these words:
Mmm. Grow up, you pitiful nerds.
Learn to appreciate people for what they are and what they do.
And if you are new to Rocketboom, I highly recommend the Sept 27, 2005 show.
We all know that if you need money and go to a bank that you’ll be laughted away. That’s why the working poor can’t get consolidation loans or emergency loans during tough times. Only people with money can get money which isn’t right.
The same thing applies to health care. Poor people can’t get dental care. Poor people can’t get medications when needed. Let’s say a poor person was feeling down because their situation had grown worse and they were concerned that they may not be able to feed their family. They get depressed which affects their job performance and they bring home less money making it more difficult to feed the family. Now, perhaps Prozac or Zoloft or something would help. But the poor person doesn’t have insurance and has to choose between going to the doctor and feeding the family. Of course, then there is the huge outlay of cash for the drugs.
So while the weathly can get Vicodin for “headaches” and recreation, the poor can’t get necessary medicines. I don’t know the fix but something needs to change.
A new way to view news. Of course, I still prefer Google News.
I hate sleep. No that’s not true. I love sleep but I don’t deserve it.
I troubleshoot my computer for 4 hours today trying to figure out what virus, adware or driver problem was screwing up my mouse when all the while my wacom pen had rolled onto my writing tablet!
