I've got hoes!

Well, I don't. Now that I think of it, I'm not sure I could ever have hoes. It just doesn't suit my love style. Plus, I can be a jealous kind of guy and would maintain the same amount of fidelity I'd expect of a partner...

But Ludacris has hoes! In different area codes as well. In fact, someone decided it would be a good idea to map out specifically what area codes Ludacris has hoes in.



My favorite finding:

“There is a ‘ho belt‘ phenomenon nearly synonymous with the ‘Bible Belt’.”

LOLs.

Well, I guess pumpkin and blackberry for friday it is! I actually have no problem making two pies as my sister has demanded I conduct a pie workshop for her next week. Funny enough, I just made my first pie on my own! It wasn't too bad either. Well, the filling could have been better...blackberry and plum wine are good when initially bitten. Not so much for the aftertaste. Guess plum wine doesn't bake well. But I'm moving forward. Next up, blackberry and "cherry water"!

Extreme Hair Rock! Dragonforce!

These guitar mofo's are crazy. My fingers look at how fast their fingers are moving and they laugh. Not the best song evar but damn good guitar playing. Jump to 3:20 sec if you really don't want to watch the whole thing to see the crazy back and forth solos with bonus zoomed in handshots to see what they're doing. I've got half their hair, I wish I had half their talent. =D

Blackwater Blocked!

Sorry guys but my first pee-ku will have to wait. I just got an email with great news! Blackwater, you know, the folks who kill people for money and gas our own troops, has been blocked from building a mercenary training facility in California! Way to go Potrero you tiny little town!

Uhh...pee-ku?

Latest pee-ku from the jelly f@cking anti-jelly meatshield-wielder (aka Cyrusse's co-worker)

"but why stop at three?
soon no time for facebook, only
peeing in the sun"
-A.J.M.W

Response to my final facebook post on her wall. I mentioned three was my limit.

I don't know, this whole pee-ku thing could become big...

a nameless son is born
the cup community cheered, for a moment
they all had to pee



*it's sad that I had to look up how to properly spell wield

-----------------------------------------
If there's a pie-tie, does that mean I make a mixed pie? Or a separate pie for each filling? Will we have to make a vote for those that tie? Damn, I hope ratpod chimes in on this one.

Are you an info-addict?

I am.

It would seem some research at USC concludes that the brain releases opioids when acquiring new information. That in effect, our desire to endlessly click on links and read posts about seemingly random topics just makes us feel good.

The article likens this effect to a cat chasing the light of a laser pointer.

And the saddest thing of all?

It felt good reading the article...

Whats an info addict to do?

Focus.

Maybe the Universe is trying to help me focus and get work done. Okay. I'm closing the browser after this.

Hey, how did the light get over there!

---------------------------------------------

And for the record, the next pie I make will be Blackberry with a splash of Kirschwasser (which means cheery water in German, and is alcoholic). So we're voting for the next next pie I make. And you know what? I'll make it for friday. And you know what else, everyone has to try ONE bite, doesn't matter how small...you've got to try one f'ing bite. Everyone. Period.

How about them [blackberries | blueberries | pumpkins | peaches]?

Hehehe... zombies...

Anyone need to stock up on zombie apocalypse survival kits?
Gogogo!

Camila (Storm) Marney

Shes is actually a cool chihuahua. She was born into a household with small children and other puppies so she got used to all sorts of noise, activity, people. Turns out chihuahuas arent really that yappy or shaky unless they are born with that personality, or were raised in puppy farm/pet stores. Shes sweet, shes quiet, she lets me play video games for hours while sleeping at my feet, I like her. The best part for her is that Obi seems to love her. Her name is Camila but I call her Storm like from X-men because her eyes are grey, her hair is white, and she crazy! Not she is crazy. No. She crazy! Biter, she reminds of when Storm had that mohawk and joined the Murlocs. Yall remember that? What was her name than? Points to anyone who figures it out. Not like my mom wants me calling Camila by that name, but whatever, for now Storm will do.

Firefox 3 beta 4 is out!


What does it all mean? Well, it seems development has gone far enough that people who have been testing the betas have started using it over Firefox 2. I must say, I'm impressed. They've done a lot as far as the interface graphics are concerned there's a much more noticeable difference in terms of how the browser runs! For example. I've got a bazillion tabs open right now, normally, firfox 2 would break by this point. But nope, 3 is trucking along very nicely. From what I've read, they've done a LOT under the hood. So I invite everyone to check it out!

Here's a screenshot I took of my desktop with firefox 3 running.

Here's a page describing how to run the beta release on Ubuntu, this is mainly for you Mac peeps with a POSIX system running underneath. The commands should work the same and you should only worry about backing up your firefox profiles. Then you should just be able to run it. Assuming your download doesn't just let you install the freaking thing with no hassle. Cause you know I had to jump trough a hoop or two to get it going on my linux distribution. LOLs.

And on a completely unrelated note, please, enjoy the latest White Ninja comic!

UPDATE

I've verified that the windows installer is as easy as pie, well, easier. So for any windows fans, check it out. It looks better than the one in my screenshot, what can I say, KDE (my desktop environment) isn't known for it's uber-looks...just it's overall uber-ness.

Quote of yesterday...

I think it's a tie...


"Even Republican economists think so."

- reminiscence at the pie meeting of Larry (my supervisor guy) at a huge conference trying to make some point about energy policy, cricket chirping silence followed, people started agreeing so they wouldn't seem more out of the loop than Republicans... hehe

I have no pen15...

Dear "Quy Morgenstern," "mansour Hennis," "shao sabapathi," and about five million other randomly generated spam machines who send out emails titled "Pick up more chicks now" that begin "I was always embarrassed by my undersized manhood, but now there is a python in my pants..."

1) I have no manhood, not even undersized
2) I prefer it that way
3) where the crap did you get my email address from?
4) why can't I get rid of you?
5) is this really an effective advertisement scheme / method of spreading computer viruses?
(seriously, I think most people with penises get less of these emails than I do, waste of valuable kilobytes guys)
6) does anyone really need a 16 inch schlong?

/sigh

ps - "briana," I'm sure you're a pretty, lonely Russian girl who is waiting just for me, but yeah... don't really care... and I don't really want to see your pictures... probably bears in them or something scary...


Can anyone tell I'm tired of spam?

Our blessings

ZenHabits has a nice little article up on remembering our blessings.

I like this blog a lot. I've linked to it before but something about this particular post really hit me deep. When I stop and consider all the wonderful things I'm blessed with...I feel overwhelmed. Honestly. I feel like I lead a charmed life. When I consider my family, friends (especially all of you guys), co-workers, where I'm at in life, well...I just get all teary eyed.

It wasn't until December that for the first time in a long time I had to fall back on people. If you've ever done that trust exercise where you stand on a plank and fall backwards with your arms crossed...it was kind of like that.

Anyways, I made a little list and posted it on my workstation...

My Blessings:

1. I am alive.

2. I am the healthiest I've ever been.

3. I have a wonderful job and a wonderful boss.

4. I live in a beautiful city.

5. I have a powerful mind.

6. I have loving family and friends.

7. I have the ability to love my family and friends with the same amount of genuineness they love me.

8. I feel protected by the Universe regardless of how bad things seem.

9. I strive to be the best person I can be, on a daily basis.

The feeling just kind of hit and I thought I would share. =)

And by all means, if any of you guys have a list, let em rip!

----------------------------------------------------------

Def and Cyrusse,
What kind of fruit do you guys like? I need practice with my pie making and you will try some at one point!

You may have averted my first attempt to stuff you with pie...but not again...unless you refuse to tell me what kind of fruit you guys like...then I guess my plan has a flaw. But you wouldn't NOT tell me what kind of fruit you like? Would you?

Yay for Google homepage stuff

My google homepage is about as fancy as my myspace page (which means it has a bare minimum of almost nothing), but one of the few things I do have is NASA's picture of the day. Here's today's picture of melting sand/ice dunes near the north pole of Mars.

I also got a great screenshot of the sea monster theme guy looking embarrassed that helicopters are watching him hang his boxers on a clothesline. I guess I hadn't tried to use google early enough to see that one before. I'll add that when I get home, assuming I remember and have a few braincells left.


edit: yay for braincells. Here's the little sea monster guy and his underpants.
