Oh those crazy goons.

Friday, April 14th, 2006

Some people can’t find a joke. Over on SA, a poster named Martin Random created a thread about Secrets of the White House. Rumsfield wears iced underwear, Condi Rice wears secret perfume that everyone loves, etc.
It’s been picked up by the Democratic Underground, The Daily Kos, and Wonkette.
Well played internet…. true or not, it is [...]

Vernon becomes more confusing

Thursday, April 13th, 2006

NBC 4 - News - Ballots In Vernon Election Remain Sealed
My favorite part? Two Albert Robles are mentioned, with no apparent family relationship between the two. Just when you think stories can’t get weirder, they do….

Google Talk

Thursday, April 13th, 2006

Wow…. 4 people I know or have met are all on Google Talk at one time.
That’s a first for me. Usually I max out at 2, and often just 1.

Truck

Wednesday, April 12th, 2006

I have my truck back, and ready to go. Rebuilt torque converter on the transmission, two new fuel injectors, and a smog check.
I still need to do the engine mounts, but hopefully, the worst is behind me.

Dodger Commentary

Sunday, April 9th, 2006

The Dodgers are playing a double header in Philadelphia today. 3 to 0, Dodgers leading in the 3rd. But the commentary on channel 9! Charlie Stiener and Steve Lyons commentary is painful. I want my Vin Scully back. I know, he doesn’t like to travel any more. But with all of our computer technology, can’t [...]

Windows on a Mac

Friday, April 7th, 2006
