Thursday
Another good day at work.

After work, it was a quiet evening at home. With the exception of me bitching at my Linux rig. Okay, that wasn’t loud externally. Inside my head, I was back to calling it “Bastard Ass,” among other things… and rather loudly, at that. Thanks to for pointing out something that I had overlooked in the configuration.

Song of the Day

  • Only You
  • In My Room
  • Midnight

…all by Yaz from “Upstairs at Eric’s”

Stray Toasters

  • “An Army of One?” According to this article, that may be true very soon. Reading this reminded me (somewhat) of the powered armor from Starship Troopers, the book and the TV series (Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles). Without the power… but getting there.
  • As I noted in a post from a few months back, “Blah” is the perfect lyric. It is apparently the perfect word, too. I less than a week, I’ve heard it used twice… almost exactly as I described it in that post: Sunday in Finding Nemo and tonight in a MasterCard ad.
  • Martha Stewart. Charged with nine (9) counts of fraud.
  • I watched CSI: Crime Scene Investigation tonight. There were a few interesting and somewhat unexpected twists in the plot.
  • freshmeat: “…the world’s largest index of Unix and cross-platform software, themes and related “eye-candy”, and Palm OS software.”
  • “Singapore plans rating system for toilets” No, you did not misread that.
  • Are you a writer? Take a look at this. They have a rather cool classifieds section, too.
  • As anti-American Idol as I am, this made me laugh.
  • Spike Lee. Love him or hate him, he is a rather outspoken man and, in my opinion, (usually) a great filmmaker. This morning, I read that he is suing Viacom because they are changing the name of TNN (“The National Network” formerly known as “The Nashville Network”) to “Spike TV.” Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?!?
  • 90-year old lottery winner
  • Are you a fan of The Simpsons? Here is a link to “a compilation of all the lyrics to every single song ever heard on [the show].”

Quote of the Day
Tonight’s QotD comes from tonight’s episode of 7Days. After it’s discovered that NNL Chief of Security Ramsey’s brother was responsible for a series of Unibomber-like attacks, the FBI attempts to arrest Ramsey outside the gates of NNL. After a brief scuffle, NNL Director Talmadge arrives to assess the situation.

Talmadge: You’d better believe that Director Shane and I will be having a little talk before I let you take my Chief of Security anywhere.
FBI Agent: Sir… You’re making a big mistake.
Talmadge: I’m a big man. ::: walks off :::

And with that… Good night.

Namaste.
