Monday – 22 Sep 2008
Another work week begins.
And it’s a grey, wet morning.

Yesterday was a 2/3 good day, in terms of football:

There was a lot of good football yesterday, but I don’t think that anything amused/pleased me as much as seeing “Big Ben” Roethlisberger and the Steelers drop a game to the Eagles. Of course, ANY Steelers loss makes me smile, but the Steelers never found the end zone and were held to two field goals. We’ll see if they’re still playing this “well” next week, when the Ravens make a trip to Steeltown and face them.

SaraRules and I finished The Orphanage last night. Good movie, but not quite what we were expecting. Given the Guillermo Del Toro name, I think that we were expecting a little more “horror.” There were definite horror elements, but I wouldn’t call it a “horror movie.” I’m sure that Tyranist would disagree with me, though.

Stray Toasters

  • Math is hard. Let’s go shopping!
  • Kate Perry != Jill Sobule
  • Sexist pigs earn more than normal men
  • I’ve read some complaints about the “I’m a PC” commercials that MicroSquish is now running. Personally, I find them amusing… and far more palatable than the Bill & Jerry commercials. What I would really love to see would be a new wave of Apple “Mac vs. PC” commercials where they start off:

    PC: I’m a PC.
    Mac: I’m a PC, too… but I’m running Mac OS X.
    PC: *sputter* What?!
    Mac: Yeah, I’m a PC. I just happen to run a different OS. But, when you really look at it, our hardware isn’t really that different.
    PC: But, that’s just going to confuse people. Just say you’re a Mac and be done with it. People don’t want to have to think.
    Mac: *stares at PC* Are you saying to just keep the sheep quiet and happy…?
    PC: *deer in headlights look* No… no! I’m not saying that. I’m saying that you’re just going to… confuse them.
    Mac: So… they’re too slow to understand the difference between hardware and software?
    PC: I…. You…. oh, forget it! *throws hands up in the air* There’s just no talking to you!
    Mac: Actually, there are lots of ways! Wireless networking. Wired. Even good, old-fashioned SneakerNet.
    PC: *rolls eyes and walks off-camera*

Today: Work… work… work…
Tonight: ‘Clix tourney.

Back to it.

Namaste.
