Well, that’s 32 times now I’ve flown around the Sun. Relatively speaking, I’ve traveled 18,380,173,760 miles, which means I could have flown to Pluto and back, then taken a quick jaunt back to Uranus for souvenirs. I still would have made it back in time to blow out candles this afternoon. Of course, for that to happen, my Mom would … Read more
This video clip is kinda special for my family. Our daughter, Lydia, really likes it. I’m sure you’ll see why. 🙂 [flv:http://web.mac.com/shawnp0wers/lydia.flv 400 300] It probably violates copyright of some sort, but for reference sake, it’s The Muppet Show, Season 1, Episode 2. Enjoy!
Have you ever been looking through a box of pictures, or in my case a pile of hard drives, and found a picture that you don’t remember? Yeah, me too. Here’s proof. I have no idea where this is from, but I found it on an old hard drive in my office. Apparently it was from a time that I … Read more
So, when we left for Florida, I forgot to pause the lawn. It was an interesting afternoon when we returned…
I just recovered from a 16 hour headache. It was a doozy. I feel better now, and I don’t have gas either. Odd thing to mention? I agree. In our medicine cabinet, we have sinus headache medicine. They are green pills, which a person with a hurting melon takes every 6 hours to feel better. The problem is that some … Read more
I never knew this was a real thing! I do it all the time, because I’m a silly guy, but apparently it’s something definable. It showed up on my “word of the day” list, and I thought it was really cool! Spoonerism: the transposition of usually initial sounds in a pair of words. For example: “I tooked the curkey” (I … Read more
With all the different spin offs from Ubuntu Linux, I thought I’d spin my own version, and make it available to everyone. My version is a little different (aren’t they all?) — in that it will only work for me. That’s right, it’s “Not-Your-Buntu.” Since it’s Linux, and since I didn’t think there were enough different Ubuntus out there, it … Read more
What a great 3 days! We’re all pretty tired, but everyone is home safe and sound. Here’s a little video snippet. I have the yellow balloon. (If you watch close, I almost pass out!) [flv:http://trunkboy.googlepages.com/helium_guys.flv 400 300]
OK, I’m waaaay too proud of this ringtone, but I made it from television show clips, and think it is awesome. It’s an MP3 (Razr Compatible) file of the Enterprise computer from TNG saying, “Incoming subspace signal…” I’ve gotten so many comments from people about it, that I wanted to put it here for everyone to download. So here’s for … Read more
John Scalzi recently did a “high priced” commercial for his book, The Android’s Dream. I laughed really hard, and thought I’d do him the favor of producing one for his upcoming book, The Last Colony. [flv:http://trunkboy.googlepages.com/scalzi_last_colony.flv 400 300] UPDATE: For those of you unfamiliar with John’s work, the video will make very little sense…
