>All about the Quiznos commercial, the “Sprungmonkies” as they’re referred to on the site rathergood.com are trying to capitalize on the Kitten’s success. One of my favorite clips is The Viking Kittens, to the tune of Led Zeppelin – Immigrant Song. I also found a pretty nifty little comment script that I just may implement.
>Ahahahahaha! SUCKERS!!! …oh wait, I’m the one with stock. .:cries:. update: it’s just one thing after another. 1000 shares: incubating, or rotting? Slate: The death of a font. Encarta: Colleges with great food. We’re getting pizza after class today. Mainly because they didn’t have our books here yesterday. Nothing says “we screwed up” like pizza. Here’s a pretty neat little gift, if you like sticky brains in a petri dish. If anyone would like to buy me parts from Corksport for my birthday, I could use some guages, maybe some carbon fiber for the interior… ask me and I’ll point…
>I just got back from VT – a few days of snowmobiling, snowboarding… but more about that later. I’m currently reading: The DaVinci Code My brother got me hooked. He had a copy sitting around on loan from a friend. I read 200 pages the first night I was there. I was checking out some DaVinci artwork after some particularly enticing observations in the book. If you’ve read it, you know what I mean. Leonardo DaVinci – Artwork Last Supper – Restored Last Supper – Zoom …and this sort of stuff is a hell of a lot more interesting now.…
>I drove up to my brother’s today after stopping for the night at my Mom’s. She’s got a condo up in VT, in Jericho. It’s about 4 hours north up 91/89. My brother is especially far, 20 minutes north-er. 😉 He lives in Fletcher, right down the street from the house where I lived until I was about 3 or so. He’s up on the side of a mountain, built his own house, and it runs on solar power and gas. How’s that for “out of the way”? Take a look at my fotopage for pictures. We settled in, he…
>All About Theft
>Today was a fun day at the mall. It just so happened that everything interesting was in relation to theft. I was working at 5, went in a tad early and grabbed a few sodas at CVS. While I was checking out, the girl at the register was relaying this story to my clerk: “So he just looked all surprised and dumb when it went off. He kind just stood there. I said – could you come here? He said – what? and just looked all dumb. Turns out he stole some condoms, I mean c’mon, it’s got a sensor…
>Valentine’s Day
>Well last night was quite the night — we started about 3 or so, went out to eat at spaghetti Freddy’s. It was a decent dinner, I would give them about 3 out of 5 stars. The atmosphere was nice, and close to everything being located in downtown Springfield. The waitress didn’t know wines at all, but was certainly nice enough. The salad and breadsticks were good, though the food itself was a tad watery. We then jaunted off to Boston Billiards to play a bit of pool and get some more drinks. We played for a few hours then…
>Valentine’s Day
>What’s one to do for Valentines Day? The traditional guy may reply as such: Pick her up with flowers, possibly candy. Go to a nice restaurant, opening the doors and being as gentlemanly as possible. Speak of pleasant relationship conversation, forward in nature. Dance. Get home with the teddy bear / teddy present and… off to the “boudauh”. Is that enough — do you have to find a card, a dozen roses? Are there required commitments, unspoken but expected? I don’t think I’m doing very well thus far. I keep getting caught up in the future, my goals — and…
>Just When You Think You’ve Had It Bad…
>I just heard from my friend today – he had a bit of a run-in last night. He’s been living in Framingham area since he graduated from college. He lives in a nice upscale apartment, a place you wouldn’t expect anything like what happened to happen. Him and his girlfriend were sitting, watching TV when there was a knock on the door. She went to answer it. Two guys of guessable ethnicity pushed their way in the door — my friend charged at them, pushing them out — until they pulled out a gun. Robbed at gunpoint — by someone…
>So I’ve been sucked into the friend-connection sites. I’m not even sure what to call them, the genre needs a name. www.friendster.com ~ one of the first, pretty slow, widest userbase www.myspace.com ~ includes a journal, many pluses, faster www.orkut.com ~ best I’ve come across thus far, fast, looks pretty, no journal but everyone I know is on it =] So give them a shot, it’s a lot of fun, and if you want to find me try josh @ synthetic-x.com as the email.
>I am drawing up plans for 2 cable modems with load balancing. 1 computer with 3 NICS, taking in 2, outputting 1 to the rest of the network which balances the load between the two modems. I’m not even sure if this would work to connect cable modems directly. Any suggestions? I found my baby, but this one is a bit more within my price range. I’ve been looking for a way to attach AC3s (direct DVD audio) to AVI files for playback, forgoing a VBR MP3 for the original multi-channel audio. I finally searched for the right thing. Download…
>Who wouldn’t be drawn in by this title? I think it was the exclamation point, yeah… that’s it. I’m excited by punctuation. Probable Philosophy major… so does that mean that previous Philosophy majors were improbable, or just not marketable? 😉 Not to poke fun, but when was the last time you saw a professional Philosopher? At least now that it’s probable — they ought to let you know what kind of a life you’re in for, eh? I was intrigued by the title — wanted to know if this person was really serious. It turns out she’s not, she’s aware…
