>Has anyone heard of Chavs? Apparently Burberry is the new black… it looks as though they’ve mixed “HipHop”-style with “White” which I think Burberry is the epitome of. Fashion designers are shying away from it, upscale stores are no longer selling it as older people now have an aversion to it with the surge of youth donning the fashionable pattern. Also, apparently they’re at war with the Goths.

> Wow, I just got back from WCCC here in Hartford.I was on the radio last night winning tickets. I had to sing U2 — I was the first, and only caller they needed =)“You know, I don’t think we need any more callers — this guy’s a star!”They told me what I’d won — tickets to Six Flags to see Monsters of Moc, a festival of sorts, all Metal cover bands. Metallica, U2, and some other ones. =]Not a huge deal, but considering Six Flags costs like $40 now a days, it’s a cool thang. I was really surprised…

>Weekend’s over, time to go back to the grind. I’ve got some professional invoices now, finally got Quicken going.I bought it last year to keep track of all the contractor jobs I was doing in order to make it easy for taxes. It didn’t end up that way, I still walked in there with a shoebox full of receipts and walked out with a $550 bill. Granted, I got $1200 total — not bad for being on unemployment, but I want to make sure everything’s in order for this year, in addition to just knowing what I’ve got. I’ve started…

> I know there’s people out there who read this, I’ve seen the traffic logs.I’d like to hear from some of you. Add a comment, even anonymous.Where’d you hear about this site, and what state/country are you from? or just tell me to shut up… really, it’s interactive — boogie woogie woogie!

> Wow. I’m not so sure about CorkSport anymore. I loved them, and they really did move on it to get things out to me on time so that when I got back everything was ready. Money makes it all possible. Unforunately I noticed an additional $275 on my Discover Card. I called today to find out what happened, did they charge me for the new routers thinking they’d credit me when they got the incorrect rotors back? Turns out no. $150 for shipping, plus an additional difference in price on the pads. I did say overnight them, do whatever…

>Grrr… So as of 2007 we’re changing daylight savings time. I knew they were thinking about it, but they just passed the bill.Canada is all up in arms because in order to be as least confusing as possible (flight/train times, etc), they’ve got to go along with it… and for them that means kids going to school in the dark and they’ve got some other complaints too. I just don’t think it’s really going to save anything. How about conserving some money so we don’t have to go and change our daylight savings. I know I am objecting to change…

>Got Google Earth yet? Get it, then check out these links from my vacation (Google Earth format). Green River Reservoir State Park – VT Our Campsite – #24 Smugglers Notch and Brigham Falls The gray areas are where they took the satellite data in the winter (less cloud cover) but they’ve pieced together all available info so it’s a patchwork of sorts. MA did all their own, so it’s really detailed (down to 3 meters!) VT is not so… but if you turn up the antriscopic filtering it’ll at least blur it where it gets pixelated.
