9428 – Wednesday

Back to work. Busy busy, but BHK made an awesome vegetarian shepherd’s pie and I got to snuggle while watching Eureka, so all is right with the world for the moment.

Both myself and Chris a Rita’s cone on the way home – soft serve vanilla chocolate – Chris had straight up vanilla.

Not much else happened today (save for a possible big bang via graypumpkin), but that’s a good thing. Time seems to be flowing front to back, as usual.

Oh! There was some really awesome weather today!

This Afternoon: Partly sunny, with a high near 74. Northeast wind between 11 and 15 mph.

Tonight: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 60. East wind between 8 and 13 mph.

That made it nice to go out and breathe.

The McCain campaign has accused Barack Obama of sexism, saying the Illinois senator was talking about Sarah Palin when he mentioned “putting lipstick on a pig.” Obama responded that the phrase is just a tired old joke, to which McCain shot back, “WHO’S a tired old joke???”

9426 – Monday

I left work a bit late due to meeting, but from there BHK and I went to University of Maryland to hang out a bit before heading home.

Chili with Matt, Adam and BHK at Hard Times – drove around college park, visited his dorm, and BHK put a C**k-block on Adam vs Sarah our server by telling her he had a facebook and liked her, Saw the Kermit  / Jim Henson statue,  lots of squirrels, and tons of college kids going from place to place.

Interesting to revisit that sort of hive after being out of it for so long.

The Chili mac superior to Frito pie.. but I suspect they didn’t put the Frito pie in the properly sized bowl. If it had been in my mac bowl, it’d have been more than sufficient.

Chris passed the PMP exam – we’ll have to take her out to supper for that! (studied for it all week.)

Roller Derby episode of Psych and BHK fell asleep mid-view – good day overall.  Tomorrow is a busy day – g’nite for now, dear journal!

Better Walkies today – cooler weather – lady with cats in a screened in stroller (Abby and Gabby – her name was Merle), spent much of the day at home.

Adam paid a visit, brought Chinese food. Played some Wii / lego star wars, took it easy.

Additionally, we saw the polydactyl cats who were more than friendly and lovable – they flop over and show belly for petting as soon as we get within 10 feet of them. clicks embiggen as always. I think the white belly is pregnant. Are mitten-footed cats just more friendly? I seem to recall the ones in the Keys to be especially lovey, too.

Chewing on a bagel yanked out my filling and root canal. I now have a pretty big hole in my jaw – not painful, but after calling Dr Wolf, I’m to keep food out as best I can, and call him on Monday for an appointment – this was the tooth that was going to ge tthe crown, so I guess I may have more than two appointments ahead of me now (1 for temp crown, one to install perm)

Minor walkies in the heavy rain – got too wet and my back wasn’t into the march, so we headed home a bit early. Found a nice grove to walk down. – Stayed in due to rain most of the day.

Larry and Chris came over – they had cabin fever – brought pizza  – I was pretty kaput, but doing ok.

After that we roamed to Barnes and Noble – looking at books – picked up a scrabble dictionary – too full for a chocolate chip cookie -Sugar Queen for BHK as goodies later, some gifts for Tina

9421 – Thursday

oh, dear U-pop – how we miss you from our element. soon, you’ll be gone due to Christmas music taking your xm car slot… I hope you return after the holidays!

Saw Tropic Thunder tonight – it was better than it might’ve been, but I was fooled by previews, and didn’t get as good a show as expected. Jack Black and Ben Stiller didn’t do much for me, but I was impressed by ol’ Downey and Nolte. We had a nice Thursday night date, anyhow! BHK got her allotment of popcorn and I enjoyed a soft pretzel and some crunch bar bites.



An analysis of the three major types of gravestone motifs used in eastern Massachusetts during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

The earliest of the three is a winged death’s head, with blank eyes and a grinning visage. Earlier versions are quite ornate, but as time passes, they become less elaborate. Sometime during the eighteenth century — the time varies according to location — the grim death’s head designs are replaced, more or less quickly, by winged cherubs. This design also goes through a gradual simplification of form with time. By the late 1700’s or early 1800’s, again depending on where you are observing, the cherubs are replaced by stones decorated with a willow tree overhanging a pedestaled urn.

Pay special attention to the graph of the popularity of each motif and the slideshow of example gravestones. (thx, peterme)

The monetary density of things…or what substances are worth their weight in gold, including $50 bills, LSD, and antimatter.

People have been saying that the new industrial grade swimsuits like the LZR Racer are worth their weight in gold. As you can see, this is clearly inaccurate. But such a suit is worth its weight in marijuana or industrial diamonds.

So… a nice little reprieve from Gustav for New Orleans. I hope everyone (Louisiana, Florida, and everywhere else) continues to dodge Hanna, Ike and Josephine. Note 3 years ago today, below.

The DNC homepage makes no mention of John McCain. The RNC page has a ton of attacks on Obama and Biden. That’s something. Not sure what, but it’s something.

BHK put me on to Disaster Dioramas – I’m partial to the Hindenburg, but I suspect that she’s more into the Titanic.

Tonight we went to Ledos, and got the greasiest white pizza ever. Tummy trouble is likely to follow. we didn’t bother keeping half of it. I hate wasting money and food – I suspect it’ll take a lot for us to return there. Got maggie moo’s as a after yuck treat – I got mint chocolate chip with chocolate sprinkles and brownie bits – BHK got carrot cake ice cream with peanut butter sauce. It was pretty good, if odd. I’ve got a love-creeped out relationship with cake-batter flavored ice cream.

Added bonus was at the photography center next door – we saw an orange kitten (about 3 mos) named Charlie playing with his humans… it was very adorable, and we got to talk to the family a bit. BHK thinks it might be time to get a portrait with the lads… though I’m not sure how well-behaved Newton would be for sit-down pictures. Pye is mellow enough, but it is a strange and new environment.

I forgot to mention that on Saturday we went to Leonardtown – skipped witch rock this time, and instead visited a few nifty bookstores – including one made from an old bar. I can’t remember the name but it was a nifty old-school mass of books just reaching back into the far back – also went back to White rabbit and got BHK a Raven Puppet to go with her Edgar Allan Poe, a yarn store (Crazy for Ewe ) with a hostess who was very nice and kept staring at BHK’s lime-vanilla ice, a model train shop and the do-dah deli… later, we went to Aardvark to pick up Pentago – BHK beat me 5-2… a sound victory indeed.

According to identity management firm Cyber-Ark’s annual ‘Trust, Security & Passwords’ survey, a whopping 88% of IT administrators would steal CEO passwords, customer database, research and development plans, financial reports, M&A plans and the company’s list of privileged passwords if they were suddenly laid off. The survey also found that one third of IT staff admitted to snooping around the network, looking at highly confidential information, such as salary details and people’s personal emails.

Overdone political item of the moment – I really think that it’s already played out, but that the below was pretty comical. Click to enlarge if the text is tricky.

9414 – Friday –

Solid end to the work week – I was fortunate enough to have Chris pick me up at the office door, and take me straight on home.

BHK was there and we had red lentil soup and stuffed eggplant – it was really good, but I was feeling so well… needed a good lie down tonight. The in-laws could tell I wasn’t up to snuff, so they called it a night early.



Dinosaurs I particularly like, but in no particular order – stegosaurus, triceratops, plesiosaur (maybe Chessie ? (and mosasuar ), apatosaurus(or brontosaurus, as I first learned it), ankylosaurus,and utahraptor. If I had a paradox-free time machine, I’d love to visit, or at least view the Late Cretaceous.

I never think about how frickin’ huge the utahraptor was, compared to a human… I always figure it to be one of the tiny dinos… and it is tiny, compared to my other interests.



Well, my thoughts on a woman able to make it to the white house by having to be Republican may be gelling.

I search for a quick look at Ms. Palin’s stances, as I really didn’t know much about her before today. Aside from having some abuse of power issues. It seems that she’s very strongly anti-choice, pro big oil and big mining, supports the aerial hunting of wolves and bears, anti-environment, NRA positive, gay marriage unfriendly, favors teaching creationism in schools. Guess which stance I’m in agreement with, dear journal? (Hint: it’s the above the dividing line, and talks about dinosaurs being gigantic. I don’t agree with any of those policies she happens to have. )

I’m not really all that worried about it hitting the election’s results by much one way or the other – I suspect this will help perhaps a little bit for the dems, save for a fringe group of people that absolutely, positively have to see someone in office because her genitals are different than any other veep in history. (that we know of…. I’m talking to you, Elbridge Gerry and John C. Calhoun… I’ve had my suspicions.)

She just asked "What exactly does a vice president do?", on CNBC. A fair enough question I guess… but…

Joe Biden: "Governor Palin, I served with Dan Quayle; Dan Quayle was a friend of mine. Governor, you’re no Dan Quayle."

Neither VP lights my candle. Palin (a self-admitted creationist) nor Biden (a proponent of stronger police powers)

Well, no matter what happens this election, *something* new and unusual is going to happen. However, despite my issues with Obama – he is still the one I’ll vote for, given the available candidates. If it were John McCain of the 2000 election, I’d be more shaky, but given McCain’s recent right-wing pandering actions… AW *hail* NO. Defective Yeti agrees with my feeling there.

Sick right after lunch today – stomach cramps, vomiting and a bit of shakes afterward. I wish the bathroom at work was less centrally located.. I felt like I was broadcasting my problems to the whole office. Ah well… no helping that.

Watched season opener for Eureka last night and the start of Death at a Funeral. (spoilers on page – don’t read, unless you care to know.) Both were pretty standard fare for the genre, but entertaining nonetheless. Product placement in Eureka – interesting… I was surprised that we watched it last night -was rather expecting it to be a "see the whole season prerecorded after it’s ended" sort of thing. As for the movie, it’s always nice to see Peter Dinklage.

BHK made salad and queso for me, and had some left over chik-fil-a strips in hers… it smelled wonderful, and mine was delicious.



The Book of Secrets, Back Home Again

Work continues to grind along.. .it’s “in the thick of it” stuff, but I’m glad it’s finally getting to a point where I can see positive closure points to the project ahead. Later, I’ll get to implement the human contact side of things, which will be interesting. I get along well with others very well, especially for a tech-type guy.

Dinner of an awesome spicy bean soup and open-face veggie meatloaf sammiches! BHK makes the most wonderful food, both health-wise and comfort-wise.

We watched Dan In Real Life, which was pretty good… not nearly the stinker I’d heard it was. Nice to see Steve Carell outside of his normal slapstick / idiot character.

That’s about it, dear journal – running on vapors, and will be off to bedski soon – leaving early for work tomorrow. G’night!

Work is getting back to paces – looks like we’ll have a few very solid weeks of care to deal with up ahead. I’ll take my replacement day off at that point.

Not too many people to socialize with out here, and when they are available I’m pretty busy. After this primary project has been done, I can get back to visitors and whatnot.

BHK made tasty sausage (tofurky italian sausage for me) and veggies on whole wheat spaghetti with garlic bread. Yummitty yum yum! More tomorrow for lunch, and that’s fine by me!

Middleman tonight was fun – I don’t blame the aliens at all for minding our intrusion, and it was nifty seeing inside Ida’s noggin.



Joe Biden’s pro-RIAA, pro-FBI tech voting record

By choosing Joe Biden as their vice presidential candidate, the Democrats have selected a politician with a mixed record on technology who has spent most of his Senate career allied with the FBI and copyright holders, who ranks toward the bottom of CNET’s Technology Voters’ Guide, and whose anti-privacy legislation was actually responsible for the creation of PGP.

That’s probably okay with Barack Obama: Biden likely got the nod because of his foreign policy knowledge. The Delaware politician is the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee who voted for the war in Iraq, and is reasonably well-known nationally after his presidential campaigns in 1988 and 2008.
