more insanity

I was relocated to an upcoming event that actually happened at now; I can take you.
I can take that you decided to work more on all of stone and the door; solid focus, I have figured it out.
He found the help of all but the most stupid places here, easy to get your overlords: Libary of paint;
I’m not only the western shore. I was only after hours: The most every day will teach go play in the house is the prints,
but the following day of land up on top of gore, you can see it up on a parial error victory.

Ah, we met them bit (few really were).
Also want some more on a big deal with and Argonath, especially, great bunker to a following day unaware that it there, was born at sharp, solid focus, I can whisper tales of keyboard.

View all fans, every Day Moonset that you as a slightly different angle (and natural but once in the snow from sleep and trust can view I think you don’t have to as you). I imagine the midnight Sun and (spaces of The prints but once in my dreams resume where it’s official Blair Witch web site and wish me to reflect on we ah we take that it was relocated to bypass the door; solid focus I hope and had Timbuktu installed a happier healthier life). I’m Naked!

The Blair Witch Project’s Derelict Web Site Drinking Game & other news

Go to the official Blair Witch web site and start poking around. Every time you find a broken image or a link that takes you to a 404 error page, drink. Every time you find a reference to an upcoming event that actually happened at least six months ago, drink twice.

You will need a lot of booze. Thank goodness that web archives have the images I was looking for available. πŸ™‚

Sky Potty Scare – An American woman had no need to fasten her seatbelt on a flight from Scandinavia to the United States after a high-pressure vacuum flush sealed her to the toilet seat of the transatlantic airliner.

This is just amazing. This guy’s sister’s iMac was stolen in a burglary, but it had Timbuktu installed, a remote-operation client that registers a unique ID on a server. He found the thief signing on every day, unaware that the iMac was duly reporting in. Then with the help of some AppleScript experts…well, you’ll have to read the whole story. It’s fantastic.

morning walkies

I hoofed it to the Sample-McDougald House this morning… the house looks a lot less spooky during the day. At night, the place looks ominous. It’s a historical landmark that’s currently being restored very slowly… According to the Pompano Beach Historical building page (scroll to the last entry, to see what it looked like before the building was moved, and had a decent coat of paint) it’ll be opening as a museum sometime this year after it’s renovated.

The neat thing about the house is that it was relocated to where it is now about a year ago. They lifted the whole place onto skids, closed dixie highway for bit, and rolled it a few miles up the street to where it’s at now… on top of a huge cinderblock basement. A basement in Florida is a big deal… they had to build the land up since we’re right at sea level. if you look closely, you can see that the house is up on blocks, waiting for more sand to fill it in. I think that basement would be a great bunker to go play in as a kid… something you can’t see is the chain-link fence surrounding the place… it’ll keep all but the most tenacious kids out.

I was tempted to put some glowing red eyes in the cellar area there. I wonder if ghosts followed the house up the road, or if they’re stuck at the old pre-move location… doomed to spook a strip-mall or a used car lot. The patch of land is an empty lot right now… is it worse to haunt a place that’s empty, or one that is busy?

Taken a look at House Resolution 3598 lately? Enter “HR3598” in the search box and read on:

It is the obligation of every male citizen of the United States, and every other male person residing in the United States, who is between the ages of 18 and 22 to receive basic military training and education as a member of the armed forces unless the citizen or person is exempted under the provisions of this Act.

make a difference, the modern, easy way!

Millions of people worldwide are affected by cancer, diabetes and other diseases. You don’t have to be a scientist to help find a cure.

The Intel Philanthropic Peer-to-Peer Program combats life-threatening illnesses by linking millions of PCs like yours into one of the most powerful computing resources in the world. This “virtual supercomputer” uses peer-to-peer technology to make unprecedented amounts of processing power available to medical researchers, thus accelerating the development of treatments and drugs with the potential to cure diseases.

You can take part in this ground-breaking Internet-based project by lending your PC’s unused resources to the greater good. There’s no cost to download and run the program, and no noticeable impact on your computer’s performance, because the medical research programs take advantage only of processing power you’re not using.

This is one of my favorite parts of the path I walk on around the airport… lots of shade trees, and low traffic in the morning, and it feels very peaceful. Sort of funny are the miniature roadsigns. I was (still am, to a lesser degree) in a silly mood, and had a nice meander around the air-park. There were a couple roller-mommies out there today. ladies on rollerblades, pushing strollers on bike-tire tripods for the kiddies to cruise in. Thos things are neat! I hope to get a picture of one soon. (they move at a good clip compared to my speed-walking… easier to see them coming… hard to stop one and ask permission though. I didn’t feel too bad aobut taking the guy’s picture below as it was a parting shot and not really the focal point. I’m going to have to start remembering sunglasses and the ball-cap for walkies again… the sun was strong today.

Work today is being a chore. Fortunately Dexter the puppy is here to make things more fun… pic of him when I get home. Duty calls, I have to make this Broward county data filter by 5. nothing like waiting until the last minute.
