7430 – Humpty-hump

Leave a comment

So, now I have 100 user pictures available now. I’ll just repopulate with all my old saved ones. The only one I can’t seem to find is Papa Smurf from the old days, which is easily recreated. I also tossed a couple of stock one found in my travels that struck my fancy. (Zombie Robin, Zim and the pig, Ewok Love, and the meow cats.) I made a couple of others too, that I’d been meaning to resize.

I currently use about five with regularity, depending on the primary topic of what I’m writing about and the remaining are all silly-filler. Maybe I should make a theme out of a few, like 20 or so?

Got a lovely phone call from MP yesterday.. that took the edge off nicely.

1. Copy and paste this into your journal:
< *font color="yourusername"> < *b>yourusername< */b>< */font>
2. Eliminate the asterisks.
3. Replace “yourusername” with your user name.
4. See what color you are.

For posterity, a current picture of me, that makes me look a bit like Rocket Red 4 out of uniform. My widow’s peak seems quite amplified, too.

Moment of Lyric – mp3

I heard you on the wireless back in ’52
Lying awake intent on tuning in on you
If I was young it didn’t stop you coming through

Oh-a oh

They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine and new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see

7427 – Only Tuesday? A whole week before payday?

Leave a comment

I would like one of these.

Where all your dreams are realized (as long as you dream of rolling down a hill inside a giant plastic ball).

Got sort of hot in the morning meeting yesterday. BK went off sort of half-cocked, and burned RI’s biscuits. A lot of angry folks afterwards, and the meeting was a pressure cooker for the gang from 8:30-noon. I’m glad I bug out early. If BK’s not careful, she’s going to burn the wrong bridges just by not following a proper path of communications.

Many of them are security cameras in companies or semi-public places. If you hover over the picture you’ll see what location information is available. If you click on it, a window will open and you can see a live video feed, plus comments and ratings and other information.

Early one Sunday morning, Jesus came into my room.
Woke me up and said, we’re gonna have a run!
I jumped, out of my bed,
Put on my Jogging shoes,
My wife, she woke up,
Said, What are we gonna do?

And I told her (told her)
Jogging (jogging)
for Jesus (for Jesus)

Oh, yes I am now.

Great & funky.

Florida judges are tossing out DUI cases when defendants ask to see the source code for the breathalysers that busted them — the manufacturers won’t turn over the source, and since the machine’s correct operation is critical to establishing the case against the DUIers, the case is dismissed when it can’t be produced.

All four of Seminole County’s criminal judges have been using a standard that if a DUI defendant asks for a key piece of information about how the machine works – its software source code, for instance – and the state cannot provide it, the breath test is rejected, the Orlando Sentinel reported Wednesday…

Seminole judges have been following the lead of county Judge Donald Marblestone, who in January ruled that although the information may be a trade secret and controlled by a private contractor, defendants are entitled to it.

7425 – Moment of Flintstones Nostalgia.

The Way Outs are an English rock group that are mistaken for aliens. Although it was a radio prank, The Way Outs may actually be aliens. They have bodies consisting of four rings that can completely disconnect with nothing in between to hold them together. From the episode “Masquerade Party”.

And a-one and a-two!

There’s a place where I can go
And that’s where I wanna be
I’m sayin’ good-bye to you, good people,
For I’ve found a place for me!
(Yeah yeah yeaaaaaaah…)

Gonna go way out…WAY OUT!
That’s where the fun is, way out…WAY OUT!
That’s where the sun is, way out…
WAY OUT!

Where I wanna be,
For there’s a place for me-e-EEE!

Organization of American States – 35th meeting taking place right up the street from work. It’s going to play heck with traffic, and a lot of security hubbub as a result.  More info here.

I wonder if anything of significance will take place there? Some interesting milestones in the past. Lots of protesters out and about… Bush’ll be there about 11am today.

I’ve been learning a lot more of my South American history, with a focus on Colombia lately, for obvious reasons.  Previously, I knew more about Brazil, mostly due to Wilton, Sabrina and the dense Brazilian community down here.

Some Web logs in my neighborhood. This one is about 7 blocks from my place.

Another list of locals.

Monday morning meeting in a couple of hours. I try to find something positive in it, and it’s usually such a drag! Lots to do this week. – Quarterly hubbub again, already.

I’m glad to see a trend of burlesque making a comeback.

Yesterday’s wet dried up about 9am, and became a beautiful day! I hope that the run for the bus is dry this morning.

I forgot until just now that I look more like Silent Bob than Jesus when I have a full beard.

Comparison:

Truth be told, I usually wear a ball cap brim-front.

7416 – Friday. Club after work!

Self-Note re: Bro – nmha – info? 800-969-6642 xt 4312 9-5 m-f

Club tonight, at least for a little bit, barring call emergencies. Hopefully tomorrow with Danny, too.

Darth’s Daily Tragedies.

Celine Dion as Michael Jackson. Why do I like this?

quote [ …began as a normal traffic stop but took an ominous turn when the driver refused to get out of her SUV. It ended with a Boynton Beach Police officer hitting the 22-year-old woman twice with his Taser during her arrest. ]

disturbing video. I suspect she had a panic attack, because a taser doesn’t normally cause someone to flip out like that.. it hurts, for sure, but that stops right away.

She was warned four times, but preferred to hang out on the cell phone. Look at the other videos to see how the encounter started; he actually spoke to the woman a bit before taking her license and registration. When he returned and asked her to get out of the car, it was because she was driving with a suspended license and he intended to arrest her.

Old News, but I hadn’t seen the video. I used to work for the City of Boynton Beach (library), way back when.

Sunset was gorgeous last night. The rainclouds parted the sun came out, and turned the sky all sorts of beautiful warm colors before fading to purple.

Free doughnut day at Krispy Kreme. I’ll stop in if one crosses my path, but won’t make a special trip for one. Free ice cream, that’s I’d make a plan for.

Had the exceptionally pleasant experience of meeting firpo (quite an accomplished writer and artist out of California) on my journal yesterday in my comments section. It’s lovely when anonymous comment-folk pop in and say hello! Sometimes I think LJ is rather insular regarding non-lj types. I had the pleasure of seeing some of firpo’s work, and I quite liked what I saw — I may have to buy the book, too.

mzk called from New Mexico… has a UTI, and Mr. Tiggs nearly escaped on her, but aside from that, all is well. Will be in Cali by the weekend, I imagine.

Researchers from Stanford and Cornell have designed a camera sees behind objects. I remember that scene in Bladerunner when decker manipulated the photo to see one of the replicants around the corner of the apartment and I was cool but no way is that possible, well now it is.”

Oh, dear. Now this is a bit of ugly advertising for LJ:
