“Polar Bears Bite”
Janice took Kael to the zoo, the Polar bear cubs were playing with momma bear.. apparently, one of the cubs bit momma.. followed by Kael attempting to reprimand the bear “Don’t Bite!” and momma bear smacking baby bear into the pool. I was relayed this one, as I didn’t get to go to the zoo, because I had to go to work.
Ok.. so the second DVD showed up today (technically, yesterday I suppose).. and I’ve now watched 2 of the 4 episodes on it..which puts me at 5 episodes of the series..and..
I just need to know..where do I send my application paperwork for the Firefly cult? I’m hooked and ready to join…
Its still a quirky show..but it grows on you… I think I’ll be adding the DVD set to my Christmas/Hannukah list this year…its worth having..
Normally.. Mac users don’t go into the whole case mod thing.. Our computers look cooler then most windoze boxes do, as soon as we open the cardboard box to take them out. But.. every once in awhile.. you see a good Mod… and this is one.
I need one of those..I don’t know what I’d do with it, since I really don’t need another computer right now.. but.. I need one of those! I mean really… How could I pass up on a Mac powered Millennium Falcon? That’d be like passing up on an iPod case that looks like a X-wing (oooohhhh.. has anyone seen one of those? I’d be in geek heaven!)
“It’s Daddy’s Beer”
Sounds pretty good to me..And hopefully, since he realizes it now.. I’ll have to spend less time arguing over who’s beer it is when he gets older..
9 years ago today.. I took Janice on our first date. We went to “The Taste of Colorado” a yearly event where different restaurants and vendors take over 4 or 5 blocks downtown, and you can buy tickets to sample all their different food. There are also a bunch of people down there selling things (they don’t take tickets.. they seem to want real money)
I never would have thought that that date would lead to me spending 9 years with the same person…
A lot of stuff has changed since then.. we’re married, got a kid, one more on the way.. we’ve moved a few times, had our share of ups and downs, we’ve had fights.
And while things haven’t always worked out the way we might have hoped… all in all, its been a good time, and I wouldn’t have done it with anyone else.
I love you Janice!
Since I’ve been having issues with AdSense ads showing up anyway for the last week or so (and since I haven’t had time to figure it out, I just pulled them from the pages). For now, instead of adding the ads back in, I’m putting up a “ad” for the Red Cross. If you haven’t already, please consider making a donation. I’m going to donate everything I make for September from my iTunes Affiliate membership, and try and make a personal donation as well.
The other day, some people at work were talking about Firefly. I mentioned that I hadn’t seen it yet, and was immediately shunned… well. .ok.. maybe not. But I was told to watch it. and since I have Netflix, I went home, and added the complete series to my rental queue (this is not like adding in M*A*S*H, or Stargate, or NYPD Blue) there are only 14 episodes in the whole series, which is 4 DVDs.. I just finished the first disc.. which had the first 3 episodes on it.

Or.. send your name at least. Since I don’t think there’s really room for all of you to squeeze onto the probe.
At this point, you’re probably asking yourself, “Self, what the hell is he talking about?”
NASA is going to be launching a probe early next year that is going to go check out Pluto and the Kuiper Belt (an Asteroid belt just past Pluto).. and the company that is actually building the probe, is letting people sign up to have their names sent to Pluto (presumably on a CD or something like that). And, if you feel like hanging around.. the probe’s orbit will cause it to return to Earth (or, near Earth) in only 50,000 years..
Go, sign up.. what’s the worst that could happen? Plutonians think we’re attacking and come kick the ass of everyone on the list?
Available now via Software update.. an updated version of Safari for both 10.4.x and 10.3.X
Here’s the description of the update:
Safari version 2.0.1 for Mac OS X Tiger improves website compatibility, application stability and support for 3rd party web applications.
Not very descriptive.. and what’s up with needing a restart just for a browser update Apple? you taking lessons from Microsoft?
So.. the super heavy coverage by mainstream media of Katrina has highlighted some of the stupid people in the world.
The day before Kat made landfall.. Fox News showed 5 or 6 people getting ready to go into the ocean..to surf
Today.. I’m reading some of CNN’s coverage on Kat, after her landfall.. and I find this gem:
“Tell someone to come get me please. I want to live,” resident Chris Robinson told The Associated Press via cell phone from his home east of downtown
Uhhh.. hello?!?! if you wanted to live that badly.. how come your dumb ass didn’t evacuate as part of the MANDATORY evacuation??!?!? and how come you called the press, instead of.. oh.. I dunno.. 911 if you wanted to be rescued???????
and then there was this winning quote:
Surging water catches New Orleans residents unaware and boats struggle to the rescue.
Exactly how does anything related to a Category 5 hurricane catch you by surprise? What did it sneak up on you? you didn’t notice the 145mph wind? Maybe you didn’t notice the rain? you didn’t hear about everyone evacuating for 3 days?
Yes.. I realize that makes me sound like an Ass.. but come on! they had like 3 or 4 days warning.. plenty of time to get to a shelter if for some reason you were unable to get the hell out of town…
These are the kind of people that show up as Darwin award winners
