Got baggage? Sell it on eBay!

Thursday, April 29th, 2004

This guy has guts to put on a wedding dress. But what’s even better is the hilarious description he provides. Here’s just a taste:
“I found my ex-wife’s wedding dress in the attic when I moved.  She took the $4000 engagement ring but left the dress.  I was actually going to have a dress burning party [...]

Yes, I rock.

Apparently, I surprise Kim everyday with my fountain of wonderous knowledge.
Sports news:
A moment of silence for Jenna Cooper, a soccer player with U of Nebraska. Jenna was killed when shot in the neck at a party she was having at her apartment. Apparently, two men had an altercation over a shot glass. One pulled [...]

My Husband is a freakin' genius!

Wednesday, April 28th, 2004

Let’s call him the hacker to be safe. Hacker showed me how to decompile swf files to view the actionscript so (if I knew actionscript) I could do the same cool thing I see on other flash websites. I was oogling, thanks to Judson, over Vodafone’s website. That is the sweetest piece of [...]

Snooze Button Blues

Tuesday, April 27th, 2004

I swear my snooze button on my alarm clock is on it’s last leg. I actually have to wake up to hit the thing several times as hard as I can before it stops beeping at me. I would rather have a punching bag to hit so at least I’d get some toning in before [...]

PAGE 23

StopDesign told me to:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
My excerpt: (The only book that was close to me was Peter’s Using JAVA programming book – how boring)
This provides a level of anonymity that [...]

Weekend in Review

Monday, April 26th, 2004

Friday night…we took rotisserie chicken to my friend Leann who just had a baby boy named Josh. He has jaundice right now and has to be under some lamps – it’s sort of like a mini tanning bed. But he can only come out to eat. All other times, he has to stay under the [...]

Save your car!

Thursday, April 22nd, 2004

Wow, 9am and already a news story has caught my eye. This one’s from the Christian Science Monitor too, so maybe that’ll make up for my “satan” story the other day.
As it turns out, it’s becoming cheaper to total cars that have been in even minor accidents. Airbag costs seem to be the main [...]

Ode to cereal

Thursday, April 22nd, 2004

O cereal, cereal,
Wherefore art thou cereal?
How I long to eat thee
And drench thee with milk.
Cocoa puffs, Cheerios,
Fruity Pebbles galore,
Frosted mini wheats, frosted flakes,
And Corn pops I adore.
O cereal, cereal,
Wilt thou be mine?
I cannot wait any longer
Until we again shall dine.
– Kim
Other cereal freaks:
Milk and Cereal Song [...]

Welcome to H4X0r heaven.

Wednesday, April 21st, 2004

Yeah, Kim’ll probably call me a geek for the rest of the week, but I found some pretty cool interviews today of five of the most famous hackers around. Check it out at ZDNet Australia. There’s only two up as of now: Raven Alder, the first chick to give a presentation at DefCon (yes, there’s [...]

It's a bird, it's a plane! No it's a giant rubberband ball!

Tuesday, April 20th, 2004

This article is very intersting. First of all, it starts off with “What would you do with a 2,600-pound giant rubber ball?” I don’t know – give it to my pet Fluffy? Their answer – “Why, throw it off the back of a plane, of course.” And then it continues to say how the stunt [...]
