Just great… I went in to pick up something at Sharper Image this evening with some gift cards I got from the American Express points program. Right after the guy tried to sell me the extended warranty, I pulled out the gift cards was told I couldn’t use them because the company is in bankruptcy… I was [...]

I just got some in today that I ordered, they appear to be great quality and actually even came with the bags to throw them in the washer so they don’t get damaged. I was impressed since I got 5 at $19.99 a piece.
Go to www.feelingpampered.com to get some for yourself if you like. [...]

What do you get when you mix not wanting to do what you should be doing and not being able to do what you want to do coupled with a headache from hell and the threat of 12 more inches of snow over night?
Well with me you get me throwing little fake mouse toys at [...]

I found this to be a humourous article…

Does saltpeter suppress male ardor?
16-Jun-1989

Dear Cecil:As a lad I went to the same repressive boarding school that made George Bush what he is today. As a student I believed, as did we all, that the school authorities were mixing potassium nitrate, or saltpeter, into our food to [...]

I have been downloading music through Rhapsody lately and tried to get The Very Best Of The Beach Boys this morning and I’ll be darned if the darn thing wouldn’t let me pay for it…
So I took it as a sign from the gods of music downloads to look else where. I have Amazon [...]

I have been pinged by someone in the US Army asking if the joeware utilities are DOD approved. I have no clue. I do know I get a lot of email from military and US Government folks about using the tools and how to do various things. I unfortunately though, don’t keep all of those [...]

…to the first official Moonshine run of 2008???
Daytona 500 baby… Hillbilly Superbowl.
Get your bottle of EverClear, think of Uncle Jesse, Bo, Luke, or Daisy and park it in front of the big screen, don’t forget to crank up the subwoofer for the engine growl.
Did I mention I like hot rods? Go NASCAR!

Well doesn’t little miss Trouble looking entirely thrilled and relaxed? I tell you she loves that bed and knows it is all hers. I sometimes think that I’m lucky to be allowed near it sometimes. She is either stretched all out across the middle of it or wrapping herself around the posts meowing like she [...]

I recenty wrote this paragraph below. The context is a discussion on mismanagement of Active Directory in Enterprise companies.
“In my dreams, one day, people will not consider AD a commodity or utility service. They will look at it as the integral piece of their corporate security and stability it truly is. AD often gets bumped [...]

I watched a Mythbusters this evening and this episode was about an airplane on a conveyer belt… The plane is going one direction, the conveyer belt is going the other direction at the same speed. What happens?
Well the myth is that the plane will sit there… Hello??? Why did this even have to be tested? I [...]

Nuff said.

You either understand or you don’t. If you don’t, just forget you saw it.

Here are some cool techie propeller head things I have found recently. I am not endorsing them or saying I have used them, just found the links and they made me think hmmm, I need to check these out when I am not so busy and decided to share with all of you.

Got a special request for some more pics and so here you go. Excuse the poor formatting, I am trying to work with Trouble on my lap, when I am in the office on the computer she won’t stay off my lap, don’t understand it, very fickle, any other time she will only sit within [...]

Here is a quick pic of what my home theatre is looking like. You will note the distinct lack of living room furniture except for my previously mentioned giant lovesac bean bag. Yes, no living room furniture yet. The set I wanted was discontinued when I ordered everything else and still haven’t found anything else I [...]

This link is for the blog for Dr. Wheek’s Vet. Excellent Vet and a good part of why Wheeker is still alive. Last year I would have bet he would have been pushing up daisies at this point. I have to think he is one of only a handful of Guinea Pigs diagnosed and treated for [...]

How about those Giants eh?
 
P.S. Who didn’t love the screaming grasshopped in the Bridgestone commercial? And that eTrade baby…

This is brilliant….

Yeah I know I have been doing this since like last summer but apologies to everyone who is sending emails and posting messages in my forums and posting to the newsgroups or activedir.org or sending me smoke signals and anything else that I haven’t responded to.
I am completely swamped with things. No one is [...]
