John, a cow-orker of mine, sent me a link to Fantastic Contraption, a physics-based flash game. It looks interesting, but I’m far too busy at work to play with it.
On their Tele-mega-phone! Call the number and broadcast your voice (or something else) all over the mountains.
PS If you’re looking to RickRoll them, it’s already been done, so you can’t be the first to RickRoll an entire country. Sorry.
Last night (a Sunday) I had the misfortune of taking I-90 home at 9:30pm. Right when a road crew was working on the asphalt. For some unholy reason, they were out working during what was probably the busiest part of the day on Sunday—right when everybody’s heading home.
Anyway, right at the on-ramp there was a big sign that said Left Land Closed, so I stayed in the right lane, directly behind a semi-trailer truck. The going was slow, and got slower as more and more people passed us using the left lane to sneak a bit ahead. This pissed me off something fierce.
About four cars back from me was another big semi. The driver finally got as fed up as I was and moved into the middle of the freeway, bless his 18-wheeled little heart, and blocked the lane from further jackholes slowing the rest of us down when they try to merge back into already slow traffic.
I rolled down my window and put a big thumbs up out for him. I hope he saw it and didn’t think I was flipping him off.
First Young Dubliners tickets, and now a new Great Big Sea album! w00t!
PS: If you pre-order Fortune’s Favour you get a free download of three bonus mp3s.
Yes, once again, it’s time to bust it up with the Carts. Hallelujah.
Guess where I’m going to be this September 20-21?
Today is Jackie Chan’s birthday!
By the way, I can’t wait until the 18th, to see The Forbidden Kingdom!
This may be a first, but some hikers on Mt. Hood were rescued when they found a Geocache and were able to report their exact location.
I ordered my new digital camera today, w00t!
I’m really excited to get my hands on the Pentax K10D, from all the many reviews I’ve read, it’s extremely well-liked.
Last night I watched Bender’s Big Score, and it was awesome. I had to physically restrain myself from buying it right when it came out last month because it was Christmas and someone might have bought it for me.
Well, someone didn’t. So I finally went and picked it up. It was chock full of everyone’s favorite robot, Bender, and his lovable antics. They brought back everybody from the series it seemed.
I can’t recommend it highly enough. If you liked Futurama, you must buy it right now.
A few months ago, the creepy vendor that supplied a soda machine for our breakroom pulled his stuff out and said he was leaving, that we didn’t buy enough for him to stay. We have been without a convenient soda source for many months.
But all that changed today. The company bought a refrigerator and will not stock it for us. I was jealous of MattP and his job where they did this, but now I can suckle at the teat of the soda-providing corporate machine too. After 11 years, this job still keeps getting better and better.
Last night we bought our plane tickets for London this July (the 11th through the 29th). We’ll be on the new Carnival ship Splendor on a 12 day Northern European cruise up to St. Petersburg and back (the 13th through the 25th). The next few days we’ll get to poke around ol’ London town. w00t!
Today is our company Christmas party, we’re gonna have some great food, including Alaskan king crab! Woohoo!
I upgraded to dual monitors on my desktop last Friday. I’m extremely happy now, I have a desktop resolution of 2400×1600 (physical size), multiplied by 4 desktops (a simple mouse-wheel roll on an empty part of the desktop switches me between desktops 1-4).
It looks real good when my Matrix screensaver comes on, too 
Today we held a company auction where we got rid of a bunch of things we weren’t going to use anymore. We had about 18 laptops, a bunch of miscellaneous stuff, and lots of donated items employees brought in. We’re donating proceeds to local Holiday charities, so it was all for a good cause, although I didn’t buy anything. It was fun, though, and lots of people bought stuff. I’m glad many got to buy laptops, I don’t think any of them went for more than $300, some for $225. I made a giant gavel since we couldn’t find one anywhere. I’ll have to post a picture of it, it’s pretty cool. My boss wore a bright pink bowtie, too, that was a first I’ve ever seen.
