No guy in his right mind is going to stick this in his pants! You aren’t getting anything near Mr. Dangly that has blades and says "3 speeds!"

Yes

I’m not entirely sure what it means but I know I’m getting some micro fiber!

Thank you Victor! We had a great time.

When I posted Good Hoax? referring to Christopher Walken for President 2008 I jaunted over to my favorite place to verify information before I haphazardly forward it on or publish it, Snopes. Yesterday Snopes had nothing which totally surprised me and gave some potential validity to the possibility; today Snopes reports Walken for President a hoax.

So, these guys that tracked down the bogus trail of information in the domain registrations deserve a kudos for calling it as it was. Kind of a shame. He would have been a fun president.

Cheat Notes blog has turned us onto the Internet Slang Dictionary and Translator helping me to feel old and broken today by pointing out that I didn’t know PAW stood for "parents are watching." I guess the kids as they get older will learn about RLO and KSTDA, "router logs on" and "keystroke tracking device attached."

My Zipfizz arrived yesterday! Thank you Shae!

Over the years I’ve tried a variety of stimulants to get a false second wind. In high school it was Cokes, Mellow Yellow and Mountain Dew. In college, I discovered coffee since it was free and the Coke machine at my night job was eatting my paycheck. I became a caffeine junkie. In addition to coffee, ephidrine, white cross and jolt cola occasionally came into the mix but often would over-stimulate me into being completely unable to focus on the studying or cramming.

Post-college was a diet of coffee and cokes and I mean gallons! At my peek, I was drinking two pots of coffee a day – one in the morning and one about 8pm at night. The world constantly shook until one day I cut cold turkey. Zero caffeine! Even my herbal teas were decaf. After experiencing the pleasures of a caffeine free world I allowed myself to return to a maximum of 400mg of caffeine a day but typically staying around 150mg.

I intentionally stayed away from energy drinks because the enourmous amounts of caffeine and sugar brought back sickening memories of chugging jolt cola after jolt cola. Then Zipfizz came. It has a minor amount of caffeine in it from the guarana seed and a couple of sweetners I haven’t checked out yet but everything else looks very healthy! The taste has some acridity to it but not as bad as other health drinks I’ve sampled. I personally find it pleasant and easy to drink; my wife didn’t like her first taste of the berry flavor; the 3 year old demanded a sip and said, "it tastes pink." I did feel good, energized and focused after each drink of Zipfizz and it was long lasting. Physiological or psychological? I don’t know.

I give Zipfizz a high recommendation.

I just upgraded AIM to version 5.9.3861 and received the following option:

AOL Explorer – The next generation in Internet browsing helps stop spyware, block pop-ups, save time with tabbed browsing and thumbnail navigation so that you can enjoy a more secure and convenient web surfing and AIM Today experience.

I did not install it on this machine so I cannot evaluate AOL Explorer yet but you can bet it will be on my development workstation!

PCMag covers the review.

…you may find yourself tempted to adopt AOL Explorer. It’s prettier than Microsoft Internet Explorer, easier to use than Firefox, and cheaper than Opera.

On the negative side of things it looks like us web developer types are going to have yet another brower to support and test for compliance. Or not!

…it requires Internet Explorer 6, the core beneath the glam front end…

The Library of Congress Copyright office wants to make Internet Explorer specific websites and seeks information:

…as to whether persons filing the electronic-only preregistration form prescribed by the Copyright Office will experience difficulties if it is necessary to use Microsoft’s Internet Explorer web browser in order to preregister a work.

The are accepting comments, paper not email, until August 22.

Comments are due no later than August 22, 2005. Reply comments are due no later than September 7, 2005. … an original and five copies of any comment should be …

To me it reads like the developers have fallen behind schedule. It seems they want to support all browsers.

To comply with this time frame and to facilitate efficient processing of preregistration claims, inter alia, the proposed rule calls for filing such claims by electronic means only. At this point in the process of developing the Copyright Office’s system for online preregistration, it is not entirely clear whether the system will be compatible with web browsers other than Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 5.1 and higher. Filers of preregistration applications will be able to employ these Internet Explorer browsers successfully. Support for Netscape 7.2, Firefox 1.0.3, and Mozilla 1.7.7 is planned but will not be available when preregistration goes into effect. Present users of these browsers may experience problems when filing claims.

So, is Christopher Walken really running for president? (see also)

“IF…I..I might say…say that if, someone, someone like Bush could scare you into, you know, giving up your freedoms. Just imagine, what I, Christopher Walken, could do…”

These guys call hoax.
