Sunday – 13 July 2008
And on the first day, Rob worked.
Amen.

That’s right: I made like Kool Moe Dee and went to work. loonybin88 and I did a server upgrade today – we had to unrack, swap memory and hard drives and re-rack 18 servers. And like Big Daddy Kane, we got the job done.

After that, we headed to Olive Garden to have dinner.

And, when it’s all said and done, my work week is officially 20% done already.

Booyah.

  • I found the following as the signature line to someone’s forum post:

    In Ulthar, no man may kill a cat. In Utah, no man may marry a cat. These rules were made because of the ramifications of them happening before.

    It amused me greatly.

  • Steampunk Wallpaper. ‘Nuff said.
  • By way of Wired: Is Sunday Morning the Best Wake-Up Tune Ever?
  • By way of YouTube: Sunday Morning

  • I need a steampunk icon.
    I don’t really need one, but I think that I want one.
  • Microsoft cuts XBox price by $50, plans 60GB model
  • David Bowie: Underground

    I don’t know how much Aha’s Take On Me influenced Mr. Bowie’s decision to take the video for Underground in this direction, but take a look at the similarities:

  • I’m a little… weirded out by the fact that I JUST noticed how similar Cool World and Take On Me are.
  • The Cosby Show can still make me laugh.
  • The classic Jonny Quest is on (not the 80s or 90s remakes). I think that if done properly (operative words: “if done properly”), it could make an interesting live-action TV show and/or movie. It could be done in the vein of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. Or, it could even be told from the point of view of an older man recounting his globe-trotting adventures to his kids, grandkids or protege.
