“A 55 pound sack of cement fell from the sky through the roof of a Moscow home last week. It was dropped by a Russian air force plane that was seeding clouds for weather control. The cement was supposed to have been pulverized into powder that’s released into clouds along with silver iodide and liquid nitrogen to force rain.” http://www.boingboing.net/2008/06/19/cement-falls-from-sk.html
That’s a nice write up on FF3. I must confess, I’m not sure I understand what the purpose is of tagging my bookmarks, though.
It’s an alternative way of searching/querying your bookmarks. You can hierarchically organize your bookmarks into folders, but sometimes you lose information that way. With tags, you can associate extra information.
Upper level of house now vacuumed. Will have to wait until my Boo gets out of bed before I can do the lower level.
Re: Cement artical – what is moral damages? I understand mental suffering.
Does this mean, while before he wouldn’t have ogled or fondled a naked… anything, now he will because his morals have been damaged?
PS: All hail me 🙂
Just installed FF3. Slightly different tool bar look, but otherwise feels pretty much the same. Will have to try out some of the new features… eventually.

It could be argued that you should wake up and not know where you are at least once in your life.
It’s still on my todo list.
Van: It’s not that fun.
ditto/Van: the waking up part is not that fun, PLUS you don’t remember what you did, so where’s the fun in that?
Actually, it’s happened to me sober. I was traveling a lot at the time, and woke up in a hotel completely confused and a bit panicky about where I was. Waking up that way is not fun at all.
Well memory can come back later.
But I’ve never had the memory blackout with booze, I start feeling like I’m going to puke way before that can happen.
So any humilating actions on my part come back to haunt me the next day.
Not that I’m in the habit of making a fool out myself..but you know.
Well, I have food in my tummy, which is good. My Boo is in the shower so I was able to finish the vacuuming, which is also good. Now to do some work, which is bad.

An acquaintance from my grad school days made CNN today:
What’s the story about EssBee? I can’t play the video on my Eee PC.
She’s a WNBA (women’s US pro basketball) player who is playing on the Russian team for the Olympics. People here are all up in arms “she’s a defector!” about it. Her position is that she’s old for a pro athlete (31) and wasn’t invited to play on the U.S. team. Since it’s been her dream to be an Olympic athlete, and since she has dual Russian citizenship because she plays pro bball there in the summers, she’s playing for Russia.
The link didn’t work for me either. But I think it’s good on her. You go where the dream takes you.

I’ve been working 10-14 hour days for the past month. I really hope I can wrap it up tonight so I can spend tomorrow at my ACS Relay Event.
Ouch to the long hours. Sorry. I just looked at my time and added two hours.
Now, to make you feel better, I’ve pretty much wrapped it up here.
It’s only 4pm here. 🙁
ditto needs a break.
A change is as good as a rest.
Eating a pineapple cake (more of a cookie) from Taiwan.
Not the horror I’d expected. Actually pretty tasty.
(Was that a useless tweet?)
Jack, I for one am fascinated by the Taiwanese cake/cookie.
I am currently drinking a cup of Stash peppermint tea and listening to The Velvet Underground while I summarize a conference call for Evil, Inc. bosses.
I’m having a very unusual tea: Orange Ginger Mint. It’s actually pretty good.
I am not having anything at the moment, but I have a powerful desire to take a nap. ZZZzzzzz…

DUMB ASS MOMENT!
I’ve gone on travel and forgotten my suitcase.
“How can that be?” you might ask.
I’m asking that as well.
It was a last minute sort of thing. I was scrambling to get equipment in the car, get directions (and get them printed), get packed, pack a cooler and get out of town before the impending rush-hour traffic.
Well … I beat the traffic alright. Somewhere in a quite, darkened house … my tooth brush and a neatly folded, fresh change of clothing are mocking me.
I guess I’ll be going shopping today.

Oh, almost forgot. KUDO’s on the episode Mr Mangan.

Jeremy, did you catch this in this week’s Village Voice?
I find the concept of a woman having the head of her murdered lover in a pot in her bedroom a bit of turn off.

*continued misadventures of justaJ0e*
Got out to my car this morning and MY LISCENSE PLATE HAD BEEN STOLEN!

It’s just Karma paying me back for all those good deeds I’ve done.
Now I am off, to let Karma find some other ways to ream me.

Camera pulls wide as a black van comes racing into frame – crashes through the gate, across the front walk and barrels through the doors of the facility. justaJ0e’s liscenes tag is on the back of the van and is clearly visable to the security cameras.
Cut to extreme wide shot of facility as it explodes.

I have of course condemned my self to a special place in hell for Englishman using the word Soccer instead of football.
It’s been nice, EssBee, We had all three of Fox’s grandparents over on Father’s Day, lots of sandbox over the course of the week, a Twins game on Tuesday night (Twins win over hapless Nationals in interleague play). Despite the lovely weather a fair amount of indoor play also, as allergy tends to worsen symptoms for Darcy & Fox. I managed to not catch the cold, and also have not shaven since last Friday.
iPod is not plugged in – but the song currently stuck in my head:
We Know Where You Sleep – The pAper chAse
— OK, outta here.
You know I was just about to post on here that this day couldn’t get any gayer if someone handed me a picture of Kevin Bacon and Patrick Swayze dressed like pirates and having sex with each other.
But then I discovered we’d blown a head gasket on our Samurai. So now I’m stuck with the car where I’ve replaced the drivers side window with a towel, and my wife gets to drive to work with a case of oil in the passenger seat every day.
So now today is more like someone inserted a soccer ball into my anus.
No I take that back.
It’s more like someone has inserted SoccerGirl into my anus.

Happy Saturday, Pan!
Watched Donnie Darko last night. I liked it, but didn’t entirely get it. I wish Netflix sent the bonus material discs with the main movie discs — I think the special features on that one might have been interesting.
I’m headed out of town for a quick overnight drive to see my parents. Hope you all have a good weekend!
Morning Pan. Retrieved the daughter from camp yesterday. She had a great week. This will be a weekend of recovery.
Naturally, I start of by getting caught up on Colbert. This is one of the funniest segments he’s ever done. My fellow 30somethings should greatly enjoy this.
Morning Pan! Finished Mass Effect last night. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
EssBee- Understanding Donnie Darko really requires multiple viewings. And the directors cut.
But mainly just the directors cut. They added this whole chapter thing with short passages from the book and it explained a great deal. Its a lot like what they did with Southland Tales, except it actually worked in Donnie Darko’s case. There’s a lot less going on in that movie.
Dub, since you’re on line… Go to last weeks posts. I have some things to say about you hating us Cdns.
“My philosophy is, if you don’t believe in gay marriage, then don’t marry someone of the same sex. It’s not like it’s mandatory. ”

That doesn’t sound good at all, Trucker. That brain working overdrive on content and phone calls musta pushed it beyond capacity 🙂
The wife and I watched “Jumper” today while doing some chores. Southland Tales was more coherent.
Jumper had such potential, yet was so poorly executed. I’ve never read the book, so I don’t know if the source material is any better…..though it’s hard to imagine it could be worse.
I think I’ve just about decided that Firefox 3 + del.icio.us = web browsing nirvana. Your mileage may vary.
I haven’t got round to playing with del.icio.us
“Get Smart” was actually worth the ticket. Very fun, and you need not have seen the original series to enjoy it. There were really only a few in-jokes with the original…

They’re sharing a pod cast called deadpan but it’s better deadpanning alone.
If they had just nicknamed the Higgs boson ‘slippery sid’ instead of ‘The God Particle’ the world would be a safer place.
Naw, paranoid maniacs would still find some way to tout it as the end of the world. I remember the wingnuts coming out back in 84? claiming the planetary alignment was going to rip the earth to pieces.
“Morons! Your bus is leaving!”

Look away, Van!
Over the weekend, we saw 3 DVDs: Untraceable, National Treasure, and National Treasure 2.
Untraceable was horrific. Really and truly, don’t watch it.
The National Treasure movies were fun — I’d seen them both before.
We’re now watching Eureka on DVD, trying to get caught up.

Rhett – Re: There’s no such thing as “too much metal.â€
I would think that depends on the delivery system.

Is Manowar the exception that proves the rule?
No I really don’t know what that means either.
Congrats, Jack!
That’s a big 10-4, justa J0e, except for the “not worthy” malarkey.
What’s been your 20 lately, over?
Thanks guys. Of all my crap, that one might be my favorite.
So ok ok – if you haven’t heard “Defender” by Manowar, feat. Orson Welles’ vocal talents (yep), then you must. You must devote 6 minutes to this. It is possibly the most perfect of all 80s metal cheese. Complete with unbearably superhokey album cover http://youtube.com/watch?v=QURkOWaivCw
No more, pppllllllleeeeeeeeaaaasssssseeeee…my brain is melting.

Installed Firefox 3 last night and I am extremely pleased. Quite an improvement in speed and features from 2.
Same here, Rhett.
I suppose I should get FF3 one of these days.
So I actually had a drink with Evo Terra last night at the Four Peaks brewery. That’s about all there is to this story. I hadn’t seen him since last year.
Interesting. I emailed him a couple of weeks ago and he mentioned the need to share a beer sometime. As it turns out, my kids are visiting the grandparents in Kansas until July 8th and Teresa is flying out to Kansas July 2nd to spend the holiday with them. So I’ll be free for much debauchery over the 4th of July. 🙂 Perhaps I should get a beer with Evo.
I’ve been enjoying my new guitar amp, but it lacks the reverb function of my old digital one. Having done a little research, I’m really digging the sound samples of the Line 6 Verbzilla. Sound clips available here:http://tinyurl.com/4oovjm
Problem is, everyone is out of stock and it’s backordered until July 21st. 🙁
I may try the Scottsdale Guitar Center to on the off chance they have one. Or I could call first. LOL
Okay what are the added features of FF3?
I obviously don’t use a browser to it’s full potential, as apart from the change in the look or of FF3, I’m not noticing any big differences to FF2.
I used FF3 for a grand total of 15 minutes last night, so I’m not familiar with all the new features. LOL But speed comes first to mind. It loads pages a lot faster than FF2 and feels snappier over all. If you type the URL in the address window FF3 will start to guess what address you want and start displaying choices, but beyound just the address, it displays the site name as well. There’s a new tab for most visited sites that is pretty cool. Those are the features I noticed.
Yeah I noticed that, just wasn’t that impressed.
I’ll go and flog myself later for penance.
I guess it’s a case of different keystrokes for different folks.
Well it’s still better than IE7 for most things.
I actually preferred IE7 to FF2, but with the speed improvements in FF3, it’s my top choice now.
FF3 FTW.
I also just downloaded Songbird. Its pretty sweet. I am actually posting from it right now. When you go to a site with music links it shows a list at the bottom of all of them, and download buttons.

It’s amazing that retail DVD rental places are still hanging on. Does anyone still go out to the video store for a movie?
Fly Away (acoustic) – Lenny Kravitz
Jack – I went to my rental place (Showtime Video) to get Southland Tales and it had been so long since I’d been there that they wouldn’t let me take a movie out until I filled out a new membership card. It looked like they were surviving mainly on game rentals.
Killing the Blues – Robert Plant and Alison Kraus
You know it’s weird, come to think of it. Ever since the move to AZ and the switch to Netflix, I haven’t rented a single DVD from Blockbuster etc. I kind of miss it in a way. Browsing DVDs like books in a library gives a sort of viseral connection to the media.
Actually, we have Blockbuster’s online plan and we get to turn in our from-the-mail movies at the store to get free in store rentals. So, we’re stopping buy about once a week or so.
But, Eraserhead remains at the top of my queue and has been there waiting for fulfillment for three months at least.
Hey that’s not cool posting a link to a Goatse without any prior warning.
That link is actually worksafe, just unsafe for our species.

Jack – You’ll be happy to know that, according to my local library, the government has placed the Deadpan “off limits”.
This is the message I got while trying to access the Deadpan from my local public Library today. GITMO here we come!

I have a dumb ass memory that needs to be recorded. But, suffice to say, boobs can be very distracting. 🙂
Speaking of that, I was actually going to call this episode “Gulliver’s Nipples”, but I figured that title might cause weirdness for some people on their work computers, so I went with the much tamer “Greasy Gulliver”.
But the library still calls us Tasteless and Obscene. Bah.
ditto, you have to now come through with that story. My stories do not involve boobs, I don’t think. So much of life does, though, doesn’t it?
Now that I have my life back, more or less, I’ll have to find a way to contribute more to the Deadpan. 🙂
Good Luck, you’ll need it…

It could be argued that you should wake up and not know where you are at least once in your life.
It’s still on my todo list.
Van: It’s not that fun.
ditto/Van: the waking up part is not that fun, PLUS you don’t remember what you did, so where’s the fun in that?
Actually, it’s happened to me sober. I was traveling a lot at the time, and woke up in a hotel completely confused and a bit panicky about where I was. Waking up that way is not fun at all.
Well memory can come back later.
But I’ve never had the memory blackout with booze, I start feeling like I’m going to puke way before that can happen.
So any humilating actions on my part come back to haunt me the next day.
Not that I’m in the habit of making a fool out myself..but you know.
Well, I have food in my tummy, which is good. My Boo is in the shower so I was able to finish the vacuuming, which is also good. Now to do some work, which is bad.

What’s the story about EssBee? I can’t play the video on my Eee PC.
She’s a WNBA (women’s US pro basketball) player who is playing on the Russian team for the Olympics. People here are all up in arms “she’s a defector!” about it. Her position is that she’s old for a pro athlete (31) and wasn’t invited to play on the U.S. team. Since it’s been her dream to be an Olympic athlete, and since she has dual Russian citizenship because she plays pro bball there in the summers, she’s playing for Russia.
The link didn’t work for me either. But I think it’s good on her. You go where the dream takes you.

Watched Donnie Darko last night. I liked it, but didn’t entirely get it. I wish Netflix sent the bonus material discs with the main movie discs — I think the special features on that one might have been interesting.
I’m headed out of town for a quick overnight drive to see my parents. Hope you all have a good weekend!
Morning Pan. Retrieved the daughter from camp yesterday. She had a great week. This will be a weekend of recovery.

Morning Pan! Finished Mass Effect last night. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
EssBee- Understanding Donnie Darko really requires multiple viewings. And the directors cut.
But mainly just the directors cut. They added this whole chapter thing with short passages from the book and it explained a great deal. Its a lot like what they did with Southland Tales, except it actually worked in Donnie Darko’s case. There’s a lot less going on in that movie.

I suppose I should get FF3 one of these days.
So I actually had a drink with Evo Terra last night at the Four Peaks brewery. That’s about all there is to this story. I hadn’t seen him since last year.
Interesting. I emailed him a couple of weeks ago and he mentioned the need to share a beer sometime. As it turns out, my kids are visiting the grandparents in Kansas until July 8th and Teresa is flying out to Kansas July 2nd to spend the holiday with them. So I’ll be free for much debauchery over the 4th of July. 🙂 Perhaps I should get a beer with Evo.
I’ve been enjoying my new guitar amp, but it lacks the reverb function of my old digital one. Having done a little research, I’m really digging the sound samples of the Line 6 Verbzilla. Sound clips available here:http://tinyurl.com/4oovjm
Problem is, everyone is out of stock and it’s backordered until July 21st. 🙁
I may try the Scottsdale Guitar Center to on the off chance they have one. Or I could call first. LOL
Okay what are the added features of FF3?
I obviously don’t use a browser to it’s full potential, as apart from the change in the look or of FF3, I’m not noticing any big differences to FF2.
I used FF3 for a grand total of 15 minutes last night, so I’m not familiar with all the new features. LOL But speed comes first to mind. It loads pages a lot faster than FF2 and feels snappier over all. If you type the URL in the address window FF3 will start to guess what address you want and start displaying choices, but beyound just the address, it displays the site name as well. There’s a new tab for most visited sites that is pretty cool. Those are the features I noticed.
Yeah I noticed that, just wasn’t that impressed.
I’ll go and flog myself later for penance.
I guess it’s a case of different keystrokes for different folks.
Well it’s still better than IE7 for most things.
I actually preferred IE7 to FF2, but with the speed improvements in FF3, it’s my top choice now.
FF3 FTW.
I also just downloaded Songbird. Its pretty sweet. I am actually posting from it right now. When you go to a site with music links it shows a list at the bottom of all of them, and download buttons.

Fly Away (acoustic) – Lenny Kravitz
Jack – I went to my rental place (Showtime Video) to get Southland Tales and it had been so long since I’d been there that they wouldn’t let me take a movie out until I filled out a new membership card. It looked like they were surviving mainly on game rentals.
Killing the Blues – Robert Plant and Alison Kraus
You know it’s weird, come to think of it. Ever since the move to AZ and the switch to Netflix, I haven’t rented a single DVD from Blockbuster etc. I kind of miss it in a way. Browsing DVDs like books in a library gives a sort of viseral connection to the media.
Speaking of browsing, this is really cool for books:
http://zoomii.com/#
Actually, we have Blockbuster’s online plan and we get to turn in our from-the-mail movies at the store to get free in store rentals. So, we’re stopping buy about once a week or so.

Will probably check out Wanted on Sunday. I flicked through the graphic novel the movie is based on at Borders on Tuesday, not my cup of tea.
There’s a hole in my bucket, Dear Liza, a hole.

I just thought of 2 dumbass memories!
Write them down quick so you don’t forget them.

I have a dumb ass memory that needs to be recorded. But, suffice to say, boobs can be very distracting. 🙂
Speaking of that, I was actually going to call this episode “Gulliver’s Nipples”, but I figured that title might cause weirdness for some people on their work computers, so I went with the much tamer “Greasy Gulliver”.
But the library still calls us Tasteless and Obscene. Bah.
ditto, you have to now come through with that story. My stories do not involve boobs, I don’t think. So much of life does, though, doesn’t it?
Now that I have my life back, more or less, I’ll have to find a way to contribute more to the Deadpan. 🙂

my contribution seems to have not made the joust/frogger reel.
too much production value, I guess.
That’ll teach me.

Bewbs.
I rest my case. 🙂
