Mighty Mouse
Today Apple introduced the first multi-button mouse that I actually WANT to buy and use (yes.. I’m perfectly satisfied with my single button mouse that comes with all the Macs…and I am somewhat of a ‘poweruser’ as far as the OS is concerned) But Damn… this looks cool!
Connery retires
If this article on the dailymail is correct…We won’t be seeing any new Sean Connery movies.. which sucks…lots. According to the article, Sir Connery has become fed up with the idiots running the movie studios:
He told the New Zealand Herald: “I’m fed up with the idiots… the ever-widening gap between people who know how to make movies and the people who greenlight the movies.”
And while I agree, that especially lately, the people giving the go ahead to make movies, have absolutely no idea what makes a good movie..it sucks that we don’t get to see Sir Connery on screen anymore =(
Hacking MT: The review
I finished Hacking Movable Type by Jay Allen, Brad Choate, Ben Hammersley, and Matthew Haughey. I actually finished it a few days ago, this is really the first chance I’ve had to sit down and write a review (I kept trying to write it at work, so I could just copy and paste it into the Blog..but nooooo.. apparently, I’m expected to actually work at work) So… Here’s the review!
Incredible suspense, amazing plot, intelligent characters, hot steamy sex scenes.. these are all things that are NOT in this book.. if you’re looking for those.. try a trashy romance Novel.. or maybe check out something over on Satan’s bookclub. If, however, you’re looking for a book that will teach your inner (or outer) geek the secrets of Movable Type.. this is it.
Baby Names
We’re just starting to look at baby names (and since we don’t know if Vegas is a boy, girl, alien or puppy) we’re not just looking at single gender names. This morning at breakfast, I asked Kael what he wanted to name Vegas when he/she/it was born. His response?
“Yoda” Man… I love the crazy kid! I hadn’t even considered Yoda as a name for Vegas. Janice asked to (hoping for something a little more normal I think). Kael’s response to her?
“Vegas”
So.. Kael wants us to name the baby either Vegas or Yoda… Guess we’ll have to add them to the ‘list’
Future Darwin Awards entrant
She missed it this time, but I’m willing to bet that this lady ends up on the Darwin awards before to much longer.
From the linked article:
Lockhart said the woman was embarrassed about the accident.
Her explanation to officers: “I leaned out to spit and I leaned too far.”
And the quote from Captain Obvious the police officer:
“It’s certainly not prudent to open your car door on a highway, especially when you’re not wearing a seat belt,” said Capt. Rich Lockhart, a police spokesman.
Umm… DUH?
Ok..so to start with.. we have this lady..who feels the need to spit while driving down the highway at highway speeds (which, for states that aren’t constant construction zones like Colorado, is presumably 55 MPH or so) this.. on its own is not bad..lots of people do this… Ms. Doolin however, couldn’t be bothered with the simple task of ROLLING DOWN her window to spit.. she felt she needed to open her door (This would be Mistake #1). Then, as if that wasn’t a dumb enough thing to do.. she decides that instead of just leaning her head over a little to spit, she needs to lean her whole body over (This is mistake #2). And for some reason, apparently, when she decided to lean out of the car, moving along the highway at 55MPH…she didn’t feel the need to hold onto anything in the car (like, I dunno.. the steering wheel maybe?) and to compound this…she wasn’t wearing her seat belt either (Mistakes #3 and #4).
The only thing she managed to get right (or mistake #5 depending on your point of view), is that she managed to avoid getting ran over by the rest of the people moving down the highway….
I think we’ll see her on the Darwin Awards inside of a year…
