>The world is abuzz (ha, electric, boogie woogie) from this new electric car 0 to 60 in about 3 secconds, top speed 130mph, over 6000 lithium-ion cells. Suck it Trebek.

>IPA is strong. I’m drinking Red Hook. The other night I had 2 and it was too much. I couldn’t focus, and since I tend to keep sipping I experienced drunk-like tendencies even before I finished my 2nd. I also haven’t been drinking every day. Or not as many. I can’t seem to win, too weak, too strong, too expensive… too bad (I like it so much).

>I wonder if I am into Role Playing again. I think I am, and I was back when Bard’s Tale and The Summoning were around, but it was nothing special. Now role playing really involves playing a role, 1st person, with swords. I like the way it’s evolved. I just saw the trailer for Gothic 3 and it looks pretty good. I’m more enamored of the screenshots. The trailer is somewhat long and very drawn out. One pic in particular with the rhinos looks especially good. Each rhino is the same model but is lit depending where they are in…

>I arrived home yesterday from a very long vacation, distance wise. We drive over 800 miles driving up to Newport Maine over to St Johnsbury Vt then back home. It was a long drive, but really nice going over the white mountains. The place in Maine was very cool – basic cabin on a lake. It’s amazing some of the places up there… and most of them seasonal. I would never drive 10 hours weekly to go up to my vacation spot. But it’s certainly the place to take a couple weeks off. The original plan was to go up…

>We went hiking today up at “The Notch” in S Hadley, a bit N from Mt Tom.See it in Google Earth! I’ve been working off this post for the week. Adding thumbnails, pictures, and finally the google earth shortcut. It looks pretty tall. I’m definitely up for hiking from Mt Hitchcock onward to Barre Mt. We ended up going to the top and going down and around the right side of the mountain. It was a good hike, and we saw a very unusual item. Apparently it’s owned by Amherst College, but it screams “Underground Missle Silo”. I’m guessing it’s…

>Anyone play Battlefield 2? Or at least have a copy lying around? I’ve got 2 computers here so anyone is welcome to come play here, or if you’ve got your own copy you should get on XFire so we can play. Justin and I have been playing regularly, just popping on, and joining whatever game the other is playing. You can see what server they’re on, and if not you can at least ask the IP address since the chat tool works even within the game.

>I found some videos that I had long lost.Pearl Jam – EvolutionTori Amos – Raspberry Swirl… and of course Blumchen. I went through this phase in 1998 where I really liked German techno. At the time Blumchen was the vocal equivalent of Happy Hardcore. It was crazy, thumping, happy, wonderful music. I loved it. I even ordered a CD from germany that came with a free (S) shirt! I still have it to this day. Here are the videos I dug up. They were in Real Audio and I converted them to 3GP so there’s some compression issues, but they’re…

> I’ve woken up sick almost every day this week. I think I got a cold from air conditioning, going from hot to cold to hot again shocks the system. In addition I wake up with a sore throat in the morning, and it never quite wears off. It gets lesser as the day wears on, but the next morning it’s back. I haven’t taken a day off this week due to my own sense of responsibility. There’s multiple projects, meetings, and happenings that just can’t happen without me being here, and delaying them isn’t something we can do.It’s friday…

>My Mac died! Just as I’m preaching to people about having a Mac “because it just works — when I want to do something, I can always count on my Mac to just work”. Hard drives don’t always “just work” however. This particular HD was an 80 gig, and apparently has got some nice chunks all accross it. I blame the power. When we had the A/C in the bedroom it was going out all the time. It would be sleeping and the power would go out. Where I’m sure it could recover from such a thing 25, even 50…

> I got the Kyle XY Pilot from iTunes. I watched it on TV, but grab it from iTunes cause it’s free. The first episode is essentially the pilot cut down to half an hour w/ commercials. It was a good show, reminded me of the old days when there was entertainment for the whole family. Fitting that it’s on ABC Family then… check it out, it’s not too corny 😉 -*-*-*-*-*-* I have a large box of old computer parts I rescued from my Dad’s. I threw out the 10bT networking cards, cords, and pieces that had no matching…

>It’s OK! VISTA was not the culprit. I use a 3.5″ floppy 1 time in like 6 months, and I drop my brain. The NTLDR was there, but I forgot to eject the floppy! It wasn’t a normal disk error. It was far more cryptic then usual. So all is well and VISTA is reinstalling. I may have an extra entry on the boot menu, but I’ll figure out how to edit this new one just like the old boot.ini that was so mysterious when it first came about. I was going to indicate why I needed to reinstall VISTA,…

>As I sit and wait for Vista B2 to reinstall I was browsing around. I actually found this deal the other day:I think I’m finally ready for XBox 360. It’s like $130 for the Hard Drive, HD cable, another cordless controller, battery charger for the controllers, and 2 games! In addition those “two games” are Burnout and Battlefield 2! I don’t have $530 to spend, nor do I have the $2500 to $3300 it would take to get a TV worth playing it on, but I can drool. My CD came in on Monday: Pendulum: Hold Your Colourand it’s fantastic.…

>I don’t think I have made an official announcement as of yet. It started with wanting to wait until I had told everyone in person, or at least called people where that wasn’t possible. I never actually put up anything official, however. I’ve told everyone already, so it’s no big surprise, but now maybe the Brazilian on Orkut will calm down (just KIDDING Nicole!) *ahem* as I was saying… I am happy to announce that I have found the woman that makes my life easy, a woman that is on my level, whom loves me as I love her: just…

>Best song I’ve ever heard: Pendulum – Hold Your Colour This isn’t it but it was the best I could find. Not on itunes, but there’s a free track available @ Download.com Pendulum – Sounds of Life It’s an import, so it’s hard to find. I guess they’re not that big, but I’ve heard of DogsOnAcid.com before… I bought their CD from Buy.com for $13. It was going to be $23 if FYE ordered it, and it was $22 at Amazon and everywhere else.

>Am I online, and what am I playing? For now you’ll just have to scroll, but this is essentially what iframes let me do.

> I know it always gets crazy this time of year. I’ve got so many projects I can’t do well due to the sheer number and importance of all of them. I know I’m going to look really bad this quarter, but can’t do anything about it. They give me stuff because they dont’ have anyone else who can do it well — and I can’t do much better when I can’t even get to it. It’s always busy… it’s always busy, it’s nothing permanant and stuff will slow down again… but it’s driving me fucking nuts right now. I’m…

>Check out these happenings in Boston, MA and surrounding areas.

> I just got a request for a new distribution list for TDR (ticketing app) Commercial Lines Information Technology Farm Devision. What did he want to call said distribution list?How about: TDRCLIT-FARM??? yep. that led to many a speciulation about how one might actually accomplish such a feat.Comments?

> I’ve got misleading links… see if you can get to where you want by clicking around. They all point to where they’re supposed to, as well as another random page. It adds fun and excitement to fun linking! fun fun fun! However, I believe I will be adding iFrames. I don’t want to, but it’s the only way for me to update sections of the page without integrating blogger all the time. I have several items I want included: my iTunes currently playing updated with links to each item I’m listening tomy links page fully visible in-line on the…

>I’m coding in .NET!

>All pussy, all the time (live streaming! [SFW])

>The catalyst behind all this was Vista. Beta 2 is available, I downloaded it last night, and was hoping to install Vista64 on my AMD64 FX55 computer. I only have one drive, and the AMD is chock full. It’s got a 600W power supply now, so it could probably handle it, but since my DVD Drive is primarily for burning movies, a DVD reader in my main game computer is sufficient. That way I can have one burning away while I’m off killing people. I’m installing Vista now. Since the DVD ISO is an odd file system type I had…

>I can’t believe it, I let a computer fall into disrepair. I’m not sure of the seriousness of the situation, but my 3ghz HT P4 would not start. It turned on, but there were no diagnostic beeps of any kind to indicate what might be wrong, or that it was booting. I opened it and was greeted with one of the sights I chastize for: an entire case coated in grime, dust, and hair. It’s not as bad as someone who smokes (I’ve done a lot of those) but cat hair is right up there. The CPU fan was coated…

>Funky Punk Asian Guy’s Site – it’s got poetry and pictures of people who live in another culture having fun. He doesn’t seem all that different, and I think it’s interesting. Tell me Mr inapictureblackandwhite how does your normal day go? Do you see me as an intersting figure of what’s happening? Maybe you’ll see a link, a referral, and maybe you won’t because you’re using blogspot as your hosting. BTW, someone grabbed bloggspot.com, whatever you attempt to reach for a virtual host ends up reflected back to you on the main page and it looks like you went to…
