It’s 1:00am and half my family is awake.
On the positive side, I finally got one of my nose hair trimmers working! What a drag it is getting old…

This brings back memories. I have no idea where I learned this but when I was 11 or 12 years old, a friend or my brother and I did this. Cars do slow down! But for the record, eventually an angry man gets out of his car and rips you a new one.

When cracking jokes to the Aspies, be ready with an explanation that 1) it was a joke and 2) why it is funny. Expect "oh" instead of guffaws.
Yesterday a low flying sheriff’s helicopter circled over our house several times. We believe they thought a criminal was in the creek. Roughly 45 minutes later, the police scanner reported apprehending someone at the Weigel’s nearest our house and the helicopters (there were at least 2) went away. When it took the most direct path over our house I had the video camera paused and missed the best shot. This video mostly shows trees.
A couple of things you will hear in this video:
The person they were hunting was caught about 45 minutes later 1/4-1/2 mile from my house
Sort of. I’ve opened an #activecollab channel on IRC’s Efnet (and Freenode) in hopes some real-time community support will develop for people interested in customizing activeCollab‘s project management and collaboration tool. I won’t promise to always be there nor to have useful information, but perhaps if a group of us form we can generate answers faster than the forums.

I’d like to spend all day cleaning out the garage. What’s this chain doing attached from my ankle to my computer?
When trying to have an intimate moment with the wife, romance turns to comedy when the music switches from Led Zeppelin to Meatloaf’s "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" mid-act. I think that’s the first time in my life I’ve actually been able to act that song out…while the song was playing!
A friend, an online friend, whom I have never met in person, was called by someone who now has one of my old cellphone numbers that I quit using about 7 years ago. We know this because my name was still associated with that phone number in his cellphone’s address book and he thought it was me calling. So what exactly are the odds of someone being assigned one of your old, defunct phone numbers accidentally calling a friend of yours in another state? And why can’t I win the lottery?
Mistake [mi-steyk] n.,v. To drink a half a pot of coffee then try to program while listening to a thunderstorm as white noise.
I have a challenge ahead of me that is keeping me on the computer night and day. Last night at midnight I decided to rest a couple of hours then try to work through the night but it would take all night to get those couple of hours:
My sister-in-law turns..um..21 today! Happy birthday Carmen! One day I’m going to write all these dates down. It would appear that every relative (with just a couple of exceptions) was born in May and June.
Swallowing your pride is tough!
Student: That’s a big mountain!
Master: No one climbs a mountain by staring at it.
