>Got iTunes? Bond – Fuego (Caliente Mix) Colourbox – Pump Up the Volume (USA 12″ Mix)
>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…
>I can’t stop… so much input… mind, thinking. Now… tell me what you see. Is it a 19? Look again… yeah? Eh? Eh?!! So 1 = A and 9 = I, AI. Ok that’s cool, but here’s what my brain really went off on: What if Earth is in the G-spot right now (noooooo – as in good spot). As the planets circle the sun, they get further away… like Venus is becoming earth, it’s pre-g-spot. Mars is post-g-spot, it was earth until it got further away from the sun and iced up. Maybe there used to be life on…
>I just watched Blade II — hadn’t seen it yet and was pleasantly surprised. review: Whistler is back – he’s a vampire, but not for long. Blade finds him after 2 years, busts him out and cleans him up. (The movie will go much easier if you don’t ask questions, just sit back and enjoy the action.) Blade II does a good job of distracting you with action, most movies that make you ask questions make the mistake of giving you the time to think about them, not the case with this one. The vampires have come across an anomaly…
>So I’ve been on a quest to quelsh an insatiable hunger… for music. You’d think it was 2000. I’m going all for broke and Limewire is helping me do it. Written all in Java, it’s gotten much less chunky over the past year or so. It can still be finicky, but the only “spyware” is limeshop – a web-shopping portal. It doesn’t collect info unless you actually use that part of it which is easily avoided. The newest version of adaware will detect and remove it, anyhow. Check out the following tracks: Olive – I’m Not In Love (Aurora Remix)…
>Sickness: Day 3 They haven’t asked me anything. The walls… they’re closing in. The cat has sprouted a 2nd head, and the well has run dry. It is only a matter of time before they learn how to open the door… Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuust kidding! Yeah, feeling a bit better. I actually got out of the house today, though I didn’t make it to class. The only reason I left was that H&R Block was right next to the supermarket and I got almost everything I needed to do my taxes. Of course I didn’t find out I was missing a few…
>I’ve been horribly sick the past few days. I’ll stop short of saying it’s the flu, but if it’s not it’s damn close. Aching, cold sweats, coughing and general nastyness — it’s been fairly sucky to say the least. I don’t want to say it’s the flu because I’ve refused to get a flu shot — under the assumption that I’ll end up getting the flu sooner then it’ll prevent it. At any rate I’ve stayed home, no school, no work. At least I’ve caught up on my DVD viewing 😉 I feel very loved too, as I’ve had several…
>The Official String Theory Web Site
>I watched a very interesting thing the other night. It was a NOVA special called The Elegant Universe regarding String Theory. String Theory states that particles such as protons, neutrons, and electrons are actually made up of vibrating strings. Currently unable to be tested, but still rather interesting. Sidenote: fixed the formatting error caused by the “Bootmark” results.
