Note to self, do father/self thing when there’s more time.

Went for walkies up by Riverwalk, got a call from Mel and she asked to come along and hang out. Of course, I said yes. We watched the yachts come in, hung out at the singing fountain and gabbed about our families/holidays and such. I’ll be visiting with her later today, too. I see a strong friendship forming there.

The friendy-meme. (revised a mite)

In the comments section of this post:

1. Tell me one thing you like about me.

2. Tell me two things you like about yourself.

Then…

3. Look through the comments. When you see someone you know, tell them three things you like about them.

4. Do this in your journal so I can tell you what I like about YOU. (or just ask, and I’ll tell you here.)

TV-B-Gone [is] a new universal remote that turns off almost any television. The device, which looks like an automobile remote, has just one button. When activated, it spends over a minute flashing out 209 different codes to turn off televisions, the most popular brands first.”


The flash multi-user magnetic refrigerator letters app is fascinating. I’ve noticed that I can set off a wave of behaviors, just by grouping certain letters or colors together. people will flock to assist in the grouping, as well as “spoilers” who try to mess up patterns. (not to mention the dueling curse words, name spellers, at times, too.) it can be fun just to watch the flock behavior and not even fool with it. An oracle might even see words of the future unfold, if there was a lot of “LOL” and “FAP” in it. and who could ask for more than that?


Saw Episode 3 of Lost… (The boar hunt… or the first one after the pilot.) It looks pretty dang good so far. I’m looking forward to tonights episode, and seeing the downloaded pilot and episode four, as well.

6941 – handwriting analysis.

Another meme that’s goin’ around.

from here – http://www.handwritingwizard.com/info.phtml

though it seems to collect a lot of info. use a disposable email addy.

Like those that memed before me, I have bolded the findings that I think are accurate.

The test seems to have been written by someone with English as a second or third language. Beware… some is brain-bendingly hard to read.

6940 – The Ides of October.

One of the guys at Kiwanis is a low-grade conspiracy theorist… be seems very earnest about his beliefs regarding fluoride in the water and coca-cola being a state-run control drugs. I wanted to toy with him… ask him a few choice things, but that’s dangerous ground to tread. Best to smile and nod when the chief is just a few people over. Save the discussions of his urge to buy Catcher in the Rye for a safer time.


I really like the deep heartbeat sound of windshield wipers in a steady rain. The weather outside is so nice… I want to crawl back into bed and sleep to it.

5. Do you have a completely irrational fear? Not currently…but I am extra nervous around ledges with poor support / short guardrails.

6. What is the little physical habit that gives away your insecure moment?
I have a high blush response, and I’ll drop my gaze… breaking eye contact.

7. Are you a pyromaniac?
No, but fire is hypnotic.

Newt is *five* years old today! He’s still a little babyhead to me. Here’s to my favorite red-fuzzed libran quadruped.

Aww! Regal-Noot

American Date formatting is a pet peeve of mine… I think that “Month-Day-Year” makes the very least sense possible. I think that “Year-Month-Day” or “Day-Month-Year” is a bit more rational. Ah well… I like the metric system, too.

6901 – Flash can really optimize gifs!

I’m not too worried about Hurricane Jeanne… but I am concerned about Jewish folks (Florida has something like 600k of ’em) not listening to TV or radio, and might not be as up to date on the weather as they should be. Jewish law says you put Jewish requirements aside if there is any danger. I also worry about Pensacola. So much debris is very dangerous…and folks are still trying to recover from the last hubbub.

On a lighter note, I’m amused by so many people referring to Jeanne’s loopy path as a “Dipsy-doodle”.

Fellow Americans, if you haven’t yet registered to vote, or need to re-register due to a change of address or legal name, please go here:

http://moveonpac.org/vote/

Online form. Takes all of two minutes, if that. Seriously.

Print it, sign it, slap a stamp on it (and maybe a piece of tape) and you’re good to go. You don’t even need an envelope.

Do it right now, if you can. Many states have early October deadlines to register. That’s just two weeks away.

If you’re not sure whether or not you’re registered, you’re probably not. Register again.

I don’t care whether we’re voting for the same guy or not.

Just register and vote, k?

It ain’t a right, it’s a responsibility.

Thanks.

Also, For people without printers: 7-11 stores are carrying piles of voter registration forms.

American citizens overseas who need to request absentee ballots can get information on how to do that (including the standard federal form to request them) at http://www.fvap.gov/ – that site will point you to state election sites for voters in the US.

6861 – the saga continues

from yesterday afternoon – phones were out – I can see that my writing style changes a little bit, depending on how comfortable my sitting position is.

Getting tired of waiting out the storm here… looking forward to going back home and putting my house in order. Ivan is coming up right behind, and if Frances doesn’t get moving, I may never get back home.

Dan and I went into the back room to read “Lord of the Rings” and “Reaper Man” respectively, while J watched a video in the living room about how Harry Potter books, violent video games and other media trends toward the supernatural promotes a lifestyle set on the path to damnation. Sort of a “gateway drug” kind of thing.

I’m feeling a little worn thin, and wonder how my other pals are hanging in there.

6857 – update

I’m going to stay with Danny and Janet’s place if things continue to be bad. Poor Danny’s allergic to Newt, but he’s willing to sacrifice for me and the little orange guy. Newtie-boy will be banned from the bedrooms, is all. I’m sure he’ll be more than happy to spend time in the living room with me. I’ll bring some Heroclix with me to play to while away the time in a more analog style.

Janet’s rather allergic to me, too, in a different sense. Our beliefs and ideals are fairly different, but she has been nothing but very gracious to me in times of need. I’m thankful for that.

My mother is going to be fine where she is, and if bro needs a place to stay, he can go be with her and Wilt.

To be on the safe side, I’ll be unpacking my PC later tonight, so I’ll be on and off-line as things happen. Danny’s only got dial-up, so I won’t have my DSL perma-connect that I do here. I’m tempted to lave my pc covered in plastic, and have the cam pointed inside for a Hurricane-view. I figure I’ll point it at the windows without wood on ’em to scan for alien invaders or flying coconuts.

Speaking of the cam, here’s the Newt pic of the day:

Current Cam pic – (will change over time)

What do you see?

Currently, you should be able to see my front door, South and East Windows, and bike. I’ll be taking the headlight with me as my personal flashlight when I go. You may also catch me running back and forth to the oven in order to retrieve lunchtime veggie taquitos.

Wilt’s coming by with a lovely bit of 5 x 6 wood to protect my most vulnerable window… the others should be fairly safe, and wood is very rare right now, as could be expected. My landlord claims there’s none to be found… I think that there probably could’ve been some if he was better prepared. I’m also happy to uproot the broad wooden fence outside, and use it as a side-barricade if need be.


current meme – (nicked from bubbles3563)

Leave a comment with your name if you want to know what I really think of you, and I’ll reply and tell you. No lies, all honesty. [I think most people already have a good idea of how I feel about ’em, but I’m happy to reinforce / surprise them.]

Post it in your journal after I do yours so I can see the reverse. (it may take a while, as checking email might get spotty.)

6848 – Saturday

Just sitting tight with my ol’ book by the phone, doing the ol’ on-call thing this weekend.


A few of the cases so far –

A child was hit by a car, unconscious, and I launched some notifications looking for his guardians in the area. I hope to hear good news on that follow-up.

A bad news kid from Apache, this was the last time he can take off… next time he’ll be considered habitual, and alerts won’t go out.

Autistic in Michigan… got to wake up the neighborhood at 2am to go look for him. I’m glad it was a Friday, rather than a work-week night. That’ll keep grumpies to a minimum.


MTV Video Music awards in Miami this weekend… I confess to a little curiosity, and some disappointment that I can’t go on photo safari… the upside is that I don’t have to worry about traffic, or bumping into Paris Hilton or Pauly Shore.
