The Lost Blog poses an interesting question, “Why is Locke so interested in Sawyer’s name??” with a possible connection to Locke’s father.

Lost Fans! The sweat stains tell all!
Shannon’s shirt is for sale on eBay. Since auctions come and go so quickly, I’ve saved a copy. I guess we can say “Shannon Lost the shirt off her back.”

The Happiest Place in the World is a Riot!
An angry mob of parents tried to force their way into Disneyland after the gates were shut because the theme park had sold out for the day.The decision was made to stop entries to the Hong Kong park when it reached its capacity of visitors.But the disappointment swiftly turned to anger for around 100 of the people left standing outside and the scene descended into chaos for a second day.
So, next time you go to Disney, get there early to “avoid the mobs.”
Programming is such fun!
I have to say, when I can concentrate and program for a lengthy period of time, I really enjoy myself!
T-shirt Folding Machine
Boing Boing brings us video of a homemade t-shirt folding machine. I have to make one of these and show the kids!
A break would be nice
I’m so tired of being tired.
I wonder what it’s like to be the rainmaker
I wonder what it’s like to know that I make the rain
I’d store it in boxes with little yellow tags on everyone
And you can come see them when I’m… done, when I’m doneI wonder what it’s like to be a super hero
I wonder where I’d go if I could fly around downtown
From some other planet, I get this funky high on yellow sunBoy I bet my friends will all be… stunned, they’re stunned
Chorus:
Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here
If I were someone else, would this all fall apart
Strange, where were you, when we started this gig,
I wish the real world, would just stop hassling meI wonder what it’s like to be the head honcho
I wonder what I’d do if they all did just what I said
I’d shout out an order, I think we’re out of this man get
me some
Boy don’t make me wanna change my… tone, my toneChorus…
Please don’t change, please don’t break
The only thing that seems to work at all is you
Please don’t change, at all from me
To you, and you to meRepeat chorus…

“Real World” by Matchbox 20
Today we think
Today, as you raise your hand to the driver that just cut you off, think
Choose to raise that middle finger, or give a friendly wave
Today, when the children learn that a whole roll of toilet paper won’t flush, think
Yell at them, or give them a hug and tell them it is ok to make mistakes
Today, when you miss the deadline again, think
Self-flaggelate to no end, or focus and get it done
Today, when your loved one snaps at you in stress, think
Sulk away and be hurt, or smile and give a hug
Today, think
Because sometimes tomorrow never comes.
Car woes
The car has a problem that requires a $66 part…and $400 in labor because FORD designs their cars so that the common person can’t possibly work on them! In this case, the whole dash board needs to be removed so that a heater core can be replaced.
At least I don’t have to generate my own power for my computers.
Shape your reading material
Dean and Jeni have asked for reader input on their blog. I’ve toyed with this thought myself. “What do you like? dislike? Want to see more of? less of? etc.” I always stop myself because I assume if you are reading this post then you come because you either like the style or the content as is. I have several things I want to do but cannot because time and money haven’t permited. But fear not! I’m certain that I will knock Dooce off her throne and become the envy of all daddy bloggers! The wealth from the sponsorships pouring in will allow me to staff some writers and research assistants and get us the endless pot of coffee that we have forever sought!
Special thanks to each of the 4 of you who read this.
Oh Deer! One more video.
Both James of Puerilis and Busymom have posted separate links to two different archives of a practical joke by the Man Show. The video requires sound to be funny and has some potentially offensive words in it.
Today’s 8 minute video
Bah! Women drivers and their vans. Warning! Steve’s blog has some pictures that aren’t safe for work. This one however is relatively safe and absolutely hilarious!
OH! Memememme! I want want want!
Good clean fun
The girls at one of the lads will listen to your commands at The Carwash. This has an element of Zork along with an element of Playboy. Work questionable. And here is a list of commands (these words might offend) for when you get bored trying your own.
YIKES! Pasted that list without reading it!
I tried a couple of words and saw nothing any less tasteful than a trip to your local Hooters but viewer beware! “Herbie” was funny btw.
Thanks for the giggles
Every morning I get a giggle because my wife instant messages me “swing?” To which I reply, “Ok. Will we find the other couple through match.com or adultfriendfinder.com?”
Satellite Technology Is Amazing!
If google and other services can provide such detailed satellite imagery, can you imagine what the government can do? I bet the NSA can read your newspaper at the breakfast table! From Google Maps you can see the transformer that blew out yesterday giving us a few hours of no electricity. That white line running over the road and over the blue car is the powerline. Yes! A satellite took a photograph that picked up a cable that must be no larger in diameter than a roll of film. That white dot in the trees just left of the blue car is one transformer (it’s blown out twice in 8 years) and if you continue to follow the line left (West) to the end of the street you can find the transformer that blew yesterday. Granted, it had the aid of a tree. What is remarkable is this photo has to be several years old because we have since had a new roof put on the house.
I wonder what kind of lists you get put on when the NSA sees your website in their referral logs.
UPDATE: I’ve had it explained to me that this level of photography is done by plane not satellite. Btw, apparently the link doesn’t bring you in at the maximum zoom level. So zoom in as much as you can.
