    A New Day!

    Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:

    This Morning

    Slept deep last night. Needed it badly. At one point a character on television screamed and I bolted from the bed with intent to check on the girls and the wife reeled me back in. I wonder if my first heartattack will be because of someone on television.

    My throat is giving me warning signs that a sickness is coming. Ages ago I would have rushed off for some echinacea, vitamin c, a multivitamin and probably another supplement or two. Today I think I’ll drink a little extra water and take the stairs intead of the elevator.

    I really would like a day off.

  • Political – Splash

    Here is the latest splash (spoof flash movie): Political Bohemian Rhapsody (WARNING! I don’t know if it was a coincidence or not but my popup blocker went nuts around the time I closed that window) This one is average. I watched the whole thing and enjoyed it. Was never tempted to end it.

  • Progress!

    Programming on this beautiful day has been really slow going. I would have loved to have limited myself to 2 hours then worked on the yard or the garage. So frustrating!

    About to switch to chef mode. After getting the kids down I will return to programming.

    Student: I need more time!

    Master: Use the time you have more wisely.

    According to my stats, people are wanting to search for Blow Jobs (work safe) again. Original post

    How to Catch a Fly (no chopsticks required (amz))

    A fly will tend to steer away from something approaching it in the exact opposite direction. In other words, it runs instead of dogging. So the best way to catch a fly is not to grab for it since it will just fly away from your hand. Instead uses these steps:

    1. reach over and beyond the fly.
    2. Next form your hand like a claw with fingers toward the floor and fingertips curled slightly toward your body.
    3. Your arm at this point will probably be fully extended and the fly between your body and hand. Rapidly draw your claw toward your body.
    4. The fly will instictively steer the opposite direction of the hand and fly toward you. Seeing the obsticle of the body it goes for height but the arm is there to block it. By the time it decides to go to the side you are closing your hand around it.
    5. Final step, dispose of the fly. This can be releasing it to the outside (or inside if you want to catch it again) or putting it out of your misery. You can throw a fly to the floor with enough force to render it unconscious. Warning! It will revive to annoy you with much ferocity.

    Go forth great fly hunter and leave your chopsticks at home!

    Since I’ve mentioned flies (amz), I suppose it is appropriate to remind you that Jeff Goldblum is watching you poop

    [Note: No actual flies were harmed in the making of this post.]

    Everyone should read about Boris!

      

  • In Coolness

    Boing Boing points out this cool and eerie silent crash test video. I think the coolest thing is that NASA tunred a 747 (I think that’s a 747) into a remote controlled airplane! I want one!

  • Terror fears don’t trump Constitution

    What great news! Protesters can’t be forced through metal detectors

    Fears of a terrorist attack are not sufficient reason for authorities to search people at a protest, a federal appeals court has ruled, saying September 11, 2001, “cannot be the day liberty perished.”
    “We cannot simply suspend or restrict civil liberties until the War of Terror is over, because the War on Terror is unlikely ever to be truly over,” Judge Gerald Tjoflat wrote for the three-member court. “September 11, 2001, already a day of immeasurable tragedy, cannot be the day liberty perished in this country.”
    there are steps the government can take to protect people from terrorism, “that doesn’t mean we just dispense with the Bill of Rights as a consequence of 9/11.”
    Finally some semblance of the America I grew up in! Thanks to My Likes and Dislikes for the link!

    This Morning

    I went to bed depressed last night. I thought I was going to get some programming done yesterday and had I not opened a single piece of mail I probably would have put in a few hours.

    To bring myself up this morning I tried a little self-indulgence then immediately felt guilty over it. Reward before effort is like giving the dog a treat then saying “sit.” I still want to lean toward doing selfish things today.

    I have about 3 days of work to get done today and today is shorter than normal since I agreed to take Tommy to D&D this evening.

  • Political

    This has merit purely on the fact that they went with Bollywood another splash (I hereby declare splash to be a Spoof Flash movie). If it were any longer than it is I would not have watched the whole thing.

  • Patriotic

    As the election nears, I think it is important to be reminded of our history, the reasons our country was formed, what freedom means and symbolism such as the American Flag.

    I Am The Flag by Ruth Apperson Rous is exceptionally written.

    This Morning

    I had the pleasure of sleeping in today (got up at 8am). It was incredible! Thank you wife!

    Today my mind wants me to do 12 different things. I’m focusing on cleaning for the moment.
