Wow, I was listening to some Bowling for Soup, and the guy started singing in spanish in the middle of a song. It really messed me up because he didn’t change his tone of voice, or rythm, or anything- just fluidly went into spanish. Took me a couple of seconds to realize something was different, and a few more seconds to realize that it was no longer in english. Wow, you should have seen my face!

Hey! All you science geeks! Neodymium magnets, fifty cents each!!

What can you do with such strong magnets? I wanna hear about it.

I just received a spam text message on my cell phone. If this happens again, there would be hell to pay… except I am still feeling some really bad karma from that time I spammed Chris Rees’s prototype wrist watch.

Today I am posting something that’s neat and silver:

I was out shopping, and someone dressed like a robot. I’ve seen this before in Chicago and New York train stations. I don’t think you could get away with that one around an airport.

Now, here’s something silver that’s not so neat:

You can call me a snob, call me spoiled, whatever. These things have no highs, no lows, and mess up the middle. I could build something way better sounding for a lot less than $100. Probably less than $50- even for a pair, not just one. This is the entertainment center that came with the apartment, so i guess I can’t complain too much. If I had to say one nice thing, it’s that it has a DVD player. It just has really crappy speakers, and I can’t hear the cymbals in the drums. Also, when I say it has no bass- it really does have bass.. but it’s only one note.

If I had to post just one link in my blog today, it would be this-

Fold for your holiday gifts!

Hey, who is going to go watch the Leonid Meteor Showers??

I doubt I could see anything here in SF- but it would be a short drive to the desert, and there would be an amazing view out there.

Today was really nice. I slept until 10, and then walked around fisherman’s wharf. I took a lot of photos, but it was too foggy for the ones of distant sights to turn out.

This is a boat I saw.

Also, a cat next to a primitive engine:

There is no funny story to go with this photos.. but I will say that the ooga-booga guy got me. There’s a guy who hides in some bushes on fisherman’s wharf, and he surprises tourists by jumping out and making a noise. I knew he was around, but I’d never seen him before. He definitely got me. That sucked.

I ask my readers (whats up readers?)- is it really OK to USE A TASER ON A SIX YEAR OLD?????

I was going to post about something, but now I just won’t. You know what’s up.

Hey everybody! I finally turned comments back on. This blog is slowly changing- and lately it’s been very slow. My apologies to everyone who’s posted in the past- I messed up the comments from before, and now it’s just the blogger system. Odds are good that I’ll transition to an independent blogging program that I have more control over (all files and administration happens on my own server)-but not until I can figure out how to save all of my old posts. That could be tough!

I’ve been busy lately. VERY busy! I’ve been working a lot, and it looks like there’s going to be a lot to show for it very soon. Also, I cleaned my room today.

Pat pointed out to me that I’m now a yuppie- the definition of yuppie is “Young urban professional”. I didn’t think I got paid enough to count as a yuppie yet, but I guess that by the definition he gave I surely am.
