Tuesday
Work, for the most part, was good. One of the things that I had to… deal with, so to speak… was a customer email. Under normal circumstances, they aren’t bad and are handled fairly easily. This one, however, made me just stare in wide-eyed wonder – and not in a good way, either. When I finally composed myself, I decided to submit my thoughts on the matter to an email discussion group of which I’m a member; you can read what I wrote here.

*stretch*

Otherwise, I had a great day. And it was nicely capped off with dinner at the Outback in the company of and .

Song of the Day

  • Black and White by Three Dog Night
  • Black or White by Michael Jackson

Stray Toasters

  • Micro Jesus. (Yes, and I have e-tickets to Hell waiting for us when we get to the banks of the River Styx.)
  • Utah drivers. Once again. Although, there was one person who amused me: It was a woman driving a Suburban (or some other GM large truck/SUV) whom I saw on the way to dinner. I think that she was listening to the same radio station as me… but she was completely rocking out at a red light.
  • Academy Awards of Halo Videos
  • Hey, !!! Look! It’s Writing with Elvish Fonts!
  • “Dracucell” That’s right. “A device that produces power from the glucose in human blood.” Maybe they could market this under “Blood, Sweat and Gears.”
  • It’s about time for my laptop to get a lobotomy. Or at least a fresh reinstallation of its OS. Hmm. If I’m feeling really adventurous, I might see if I can make it a dual boot (Linux/Win) system.
  • From the BBC comes a story about “The Effect of Pirated CDs”
  • The construction (widening Redwood Road) outside our complex has hit the “Annoying” phase. Again. However, it was rather amusing to see that whomever was responsible for preparing the “Business Entrance” sign was a little… “fuzzy” on how to spell “Apartments.” On the sign, it’s spelled “Appartments.” I just hope that this person doesn’t have access to the keys of the heavy machinery out there, too.
  • “Beer. It’s what’s for dinner.” No, that was “beef.” Oh, well. “Is Beer Food?” The folks at BeerAdvocate.com think that it is.

Namaste.
