I just got a hit from the MSN search engine for, “Crafty manipulative people”
Bwahahahahaaa!
UPDATE: I just got one for “cocaine and nail polish remover”
What on earth am I posting to attract such a crowd?!?!
Humor
Me, In the Winter
This is me, with bunny slippers.
The Garfield comic was particularly appropriate today. I tend to have an intimate (not freaky) relationship with our own thermostat. Sorry I’ve been too busy this weekend to do all those things I hoped to do (I’m looking at you, Nathan) — maybe later on this evening. It’s just been a hectic couple days.
Wanted: Calendar With Extra Day
I’m in the market for a calendar that gives me an extra day before tomorrow. I’ll also be willing to barter for a time dilation device.
2 Kinds of People
There are 2 kinds of people in the world, those to love Monty Python humor, and those that despise it. I am in the former, with both feet. I’ve watched The Holy Grail so many times I can almost quote the moose credits…
On a similar vein — have you seen Fawlty Towers? Absolutely hilarious, and definitely some of the best television ever produced. You need to see this show, really. It’s available on DVD, so you have no excuse. (Don’t whine about money — this comedy is more important than food I’ll have you know…)
Did You Get a Geeky Gift? Win a T-Shirt!
Following my review of the Penguin Pooper, Carlie Fairchild, the publisher over at Linux Journal, started a review contest. The first 20 people submitting video reviews of their geeky gifts get free T-Shirts. But even more than that, the bragging rights that go along with such a contest.
Go quickly!
Gifts for Geeks
Here’s what happens when you are a Linux lover that tells his family about Open Source all the time.
Yes, penguin poop tastes good, albeit crunchy.
UPDATE: Make sure to check out the review. 😉
Tacocat
Tacocat is a palindrome. And that is cool enough to have it’s own post. Says I.
My Day, Crud Edition
I didn’t throw up until 1:30PM, so that was good. Things were actually quite nice until the afternoon, in fact. I had a meeting, drank some coffee, ate some lunch; it was pretty nice. Then, for some odd reason, I began violently throwing up. It was truly a vomit fest, and just as gross as it sounds. With chunks. (And later without…)
Anyway, after school, we had to retake our Christmas photo, because in the last sitting, yours truly towered over the family like a middle aged totem pole. It looked silly. So, back to the scenic spot for our photo. It turned out nice, and if I hadn’t told you, you’d never know I’d thrown up shortly before the photo was taken:
After a dozen takes, we ended up with that charming shot you see above. Standing up that 12th time, however, proved to be more than I could handle, and I took a lovely little ride down the riverbank. I managed to catch myself before a full fledged swim was required, but it sure didn’t make my day any better. You’ll notice the snowy scenery? Yeah, that’s real. Real cold.
How was your day?
Public Service Announcement
For future reference:
These types of cups are not designed for mug warmers. Also, fingernail polish remover does remove melted Styrofoam. You’re welcome.
Today’s Funny IM
I was speaking to a programmer friend over IM today:
Him: Hey, I’ve been learning Python
Me: Cool, the hisses are the hard part. Pythons are pretty forgiving with grammar, but Rattlers get TICKED if you mess up their tonal dialect…
Yep, I’m still a geek. I gotta love that he played right along though.
