Ramblings and Travels

Octopus attacks submarine
Ok, so the story isn’t as all exciting as it could be. But the Octopi are coming, and we must all be careful!
And I do want to see the video footage too.

Well, damn. While not an authorized encounter by the Mexican government, I can’t believe that some of their higher ups aren’t aware of this, even as a a possibility.
This will only give more interest and power to those who want the border militarized in some fashion.

Ok, so the whale watching trip is a go for Saturday, February 11th. 10 am, down in Long Beach. 10 dollars a head. I shall do my best to provide the whales and good weather, but no guarantees in life.
If you didn’t get my email, I’m sorry I either forgot your address, or it didn’t [...]

Had a good long phone call yesterday evening with Spencer from Carpenter. He started there before I did, and is still there. He’s actually in my old job, running the bedding department. He’s really feeling it now, and while I feel for him, it can only last as long as he wants it to last. [...]

I broke my photogallery software.
Something to do in permissions.
Here’s hoping I have it fixed soon.
[update]
Screw it. I’m going to have to reupload my photos, and start over.
Nuts.
[update 2]
ok, the gallery is partly back up. Look for it

Who wants to go whale watching this February? I’d like to plan the trip for Saturday, the 11th of February.
You know you want to go. I’ll send out an email tomorrow about it, for those who don’t read this blog. If you read this, I want you there!

I’m off to my good friend Alicia Cooper’s wedding to Aaron Ingold tomorrow down in San Diego.
Why they picked a day it was going to rain, is beyond me. I’ll be up early to drive down there, then back in late tomorrow night. Look for pictures and wacky comments later!
[edit]
I have the photos I took, [...]

It’s amazing how much better iPhoto runs when you go from 512 MB of memory to 2.5 GB of memory. It’s now pulling 636 MB of real memory, and is quite happy and responsive.
Proving once again, the fastest and cheapest upgrade to a computer is memory.
Even the waterproof, golden kind. Which I passed on this [...]

Create an e-annoyance, go to jail
I understand the need to prevent crank calling at 3 in the morning. But there is a difference in sending an email, or even making an anonymous blog posting.
Eh… I want to process this a bit more, but it just seems like a further disconnect between those writing laws [...]

Ok, I haven’t read anything on the Governator’s plans for California. But it seems, from the radio and TV news blurbs, that he’s trying to out democrat the democrats.
Real leadership is knowing when your population is wrong, telling them so, and then making the results prove that. Not having a stand, getting beaten, then [...]
