Looking for the Spider-man opening credits, I found retromedia tv. (realplayer and a good, speedy net connect is recommended.)

This stuff added folds and wrinkles to my young, malleable mind. Who Needs drugs? Watch about 4 hours of tv from that period and you’ll be tripping harder than Timothy Leary at a Grateful Dead concert. Maybe they’ll add the Maude opening sometime.

Especially notable –

Keep America Beautiful, go bowling, just about everything on this page, and the partridge family. (I’ve *always* wanted that bus).

how I feel about a few lj’s I’ve seen out there… none I read regularly, but some I trip over here and again.

Well, on a nostalgic note, I go nigh nigh. Happy sleeps, dear journal.

Just heading out the door…. a reminder to brush your cat’s teeth! Newtie likes it!

pics of me woking on my brother’s computer last saturday… no biggie.

Slept in this morning… the body asked, and I complied. Left over battery drain from stress on the weekend and early rising otherwise, plus a light rain and purr-monster made me decide that the course of action I was taking was all too sound. No decision at all really… you try fighting those odds.

Kev is contemplating letting the whole computer depatment all take a field trip to see the new Star Wars movie the day it comes out, r at the very least to let folks out early that day. We tried last time, but the then-boss said “No way, Jose”. Now that we’re ruled by a team of six, with Kevin at the tippy-top of the tech-zone, geekdom shall have it’s way if all things balance out (meaning no nasty hardware problems, or client reschedules we cant sneak around).

Digging my feet into php, and it’s connection to MySQL. Pretty snappy stuff, seems more handy than cold fusion.

Well, I’d better hop into mister shower and do some scrubbin’… I’m due at work in an hour. Until later, journal-gator.

Don’t tell me you have nothing to read…and a new monster every day!

Bro went to the doc like a good fellow, and is going to get some physical therapy this and next week as a result, plus ice treatments. I’m glad that the doc has high hopes for his mending. Odds are that some stretching and time will put him back in order, probably no operation will be needed.

New project today was a little pesky, the deployment is being delayed until I can grab a few .dll’s from the net to make it work on the machines without crystal reports… or a lazy workaround might be to just install crystal on all of the systems that use the program… I’ll search for a bit tonight, just to keep things neat and clean… some interesting online gigs coming my way via our parent company.

Not much time to write fiction lately…but I did start mumbling a little ditty about puppyfrog.… giving long distance kisses and fearing the garden statues. I really dig the concept… sweetalyssm‘s so cool!

Sent out may packages today… submitted an old manuscript and the treats…. I’m looking forward to seeing my other story end up in print!

long-ol survey.

going to tend to brother before work… I have to make sure he goes to the doctor today…. (I suspect that if I didn’t dog him, he’d skip it.)

dang, it smells good in here… patchouli, champa, and Newtie-freshness.

until tonight, dear journal…. destiny is honking the horn of “gotta-go”.

Happiest Wishes and Congratulations to misspriss and circlek!!! I am so happy for you both! What a delightful thing!

Fun keywords to my site this week…

I can come up behind Newton as he sleeps, and just hug him. no spaz, no freakout. Just a sleepy awakening and then *nuzznuzznuzz*

and now, a humble request, from textism.com

Time, if you please, for another Google bomb.

My friend and yours, Leslie Harpold, continues to suffer the arrogance and incompetence of Verisign, a company to whom she paid money in exchange for the safekeeping of her domain, Hoopla.com, and who then cheerfully sold it to someone else.

Perhaps Verisign will fix this fiasco some day; nonetheless I see no reason not to share the story. With, say, all the stock analysts, potential investors, journalists and (apparently) lowly domain registrants who type the word Verisign into Google. Your link to:

<a href=”http://www.textism.com/article/494/”>Verisign</a>

will help steer the way.

That’s Verisign.

Thank you.

She’s the one that showed me poemtags.

A real digger mole… appears to be real according to the US Patent office. Here’s a couple related patents:

Tunnelling process and the gizmo itself… I have wanted an underground vehicle for a very

These don’t mention using nuclear power – they use lasers and other heat sources, but not nuclear…that makes it a lot more believable. It would be tough to use nuclear powered borers very extensively in secret because of the tight controls kept on fissionable materials… but anybody can build a laser.

Of course, I’ve also always wanted a supersonic zeppelin, too.

Puppy-Frog!, and a fantastic entry about maps.

Nuts! printroom figured out how I was trimming off the ad. back to hosting from home!

That’s better. freephoto-i.net, until I devise a realtime image clipper, or stop beang cheap with my own bandwidth.

The great pop vs. soda controversy.… after making the link here, I realize that I need to get a copy of the now dead semagic client. anyone have a version that they can point me to?

Spending the day at home today… you’d have to start a fire to get me to leave the house on cinco de mayo. Air and Sea show, Sunfest *plus* Cinco de Mayo? Who was the brainchild that plotted that schedule? Even the temptation of going to see Spider-man is not enough.

Puttering today, gabbing with my sweetheart, and cleaning house. downloading some gamelan and Indonesian music for my brother…it’s pretty neat stuff, especially the purely instrumental pieces. dissonant and still soothing.

Yikes! I’ve been chewing on the new system, Sphere, (formerly big brain) runs like a top! Thanks to tarpo for pointing me to Kazaa light… much nicer sans the spyware. a slight typing lag on the LJ client… I wonder if I have my keystroke settings right.

good news, it found the 7th, 8th and 9th Osbourne episodes…upping my collection by 50% I still don’t know how many have aired thus far.

Well, it’s late, and I’ll be back after I rest some. tomorrow’s project, clean house nice and tidy, and then get the drivers for newt cam… soon, it’ll be a 24/7 thing once again.

nigh night dear journal.

9:00 am- I can see the bus on the horizon, about 10 min away.

got a call from the brother this morning…I’m bringing him some stuff to get him through until monday. meeting him at central term in about 45 minutes

on the bus now – 9:13 am two public transit fashion trends i’ve noticed this week… fat albert t-shirts and people reading Gibran’s “The Prophet”. Both are entertaining to me in different ways. Also a lot of sports caps, and pleasanty calm, happy babies.

Since the terminal started cracking down on solicitors, the JW’s there have adopted a more soft sell… they now sit in strategic places, and if you make eye contact, they offer to hand off a copy of “Awake!” or “Watchtower” without saying a word by just holding it slightly towards you. Since they implemented the solicitation ban and closed tent city, there are far fewer people begging, too… I wonder what venue they use now?

got to dash early this morn… taking care of the little brother. Nothing to worry about.

full details tonight, dear journal.

argh! lost a big fat entry… suffice to say, hot shower good, I neglected to clean house tonight, Newt is cute, I’m in love with a very spiffy woman. I’ll expound on all of those points later

Note to self, write a more clear, less rambling entry on how Newtie came to be adopted into the family.

I can’t believe that the baby boy is over two and a half years old!

I’m overdue for bed… see you when the sun’s out, dear journal.
