Blog

I present to you an example of sheer stupidity. I post this picture knowing that the card has to have been cancelled by now as this link is going all over the Internet. He posted the picture for an ebay auction of a Rolex watch. This is the same as walking through the mall with several hundred dollar bills hanging out of your back pocket. 

a) send information to person requesting pricing DONE

b) send pricing to business seeking to pay monthly for a website

c) send pricing to “barter” prospect

d) take Tommy to STAR DONE

e) finish updating dice.com

A New Day!

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

This Morning

Woke this morning with my stomach in knots as my brain rushed through a variety of things done and things that need to be done. This was in that half sleep half wake stage so it took some effort to bring myself around and into some semblance of calm.

I decided to do some stretching and start the day right but got into a conversation in the hello picasa chat program. The day I installed it someone signed up as a friend. The conversation was utterly brief and he disappeared so quickly that I couldn’t help but wonder if I offended the person somehow. Of course, for all I know it was a 12 year old kid looking for porn. The Internet is certainly the last place to take things personally but incidents like that reinforce my belief that manners are disappearing, people’s phone skills (chat is nothing more than phone typed) are declining, and communication is becoming more succinct and impersonal.

Time to brew some coffee and wake Tommy.

This picture was taken by a friend of mine so I know for a fact that it was not photochopped.  The story:

While checking out of Walgreens with her toddler the cashier gives her one of those small flags (presumably since July 4th approaches). The “MADE IN CHINA” sticker just could not be ignored!

I put that adorable picture of Amy up to replace my psycho looking profile picture but in that scaled down version I can’t help but look at it and have it scream “brains! brains!” at me. Time for a new picture.

The new earth is walkable! I should have rolled it out or something and am certain I’ll need to add more dirt but its nice to see things coming together. Our squirrel says “Welcome to the nut house!” (click picture for a larger view)

Grass grows fast in manure! I like this picture of the grass and weed. I say weed instead of weeds because my blog is already attracting the drug culture with references to tetrafluoroethane huffing and canned air. I figure if I mention weed and grass then ‘shrooms from the horse dung (better say mushroom too) that I’ll really pull in the curious person looking to melt their mind. Of course, after reading my blog they have have the effect they wanted without the expense! Hope your day is as trippin’ as mine! 

Got client’s networking issue resolved over the phone! I had set a gateway on the nics and once removed they worked again. Win2000 has a problem with losing the USB devices and I may need to update some files later but hopefully they will be up and trouble free for awhile.
