"Morning Glory Spray" Shower Head?

I guess I'm a little unsure of how I feel about taking a shower with a shower head that advertises "Morning Glory Spray". Maybe it's just the 13 year old boy inside of me. The next line might as well have been "For Golden Showers".

Now if they called it "Hot Bikini Model Shower Rub Down" that would be a nice showerhead!

Where has this been all my life?!?!?

What they're like when they're 5...

Owen: Mommy fell off the turnip truck two times.

Me: Oh really, Mommy fell off the turnip truck?

Owen: Yeah, that means that she knows what I'm up to.

Me: Oh, so that's what that means?

Owen: Yeah.

[Pause]

Owen: I want to help mommy get back in the turnip truck. Then she won't know what I'm up to...

Odd musings of a burnt out floor refinisher

I've started to wonder if Bush is into instant messaging. It might explain some things. I'm picturing the scene circa late 2001, early 2002...

BushWhacker: Yo wuzzup?
SaddamTheMan: Yo dude.
BushWhacker: How's things in Bagdad
SaddamTheMan: You know the usual...mass murder here, oppression there...totally hot chicks throwing themselves at me...to get away from the dogs...
BushWhacker: ROTFL
BushWhacker: Dude, you know how to live! What else you been up to?
SaddamTheMan: Dude, I gotta tell you about this one. It's freakin awesmew
SaddamTheMan:awesome
BushWhacker: what?
SaddamTheMan: I gots some new WMD (editorial note: he meant "White Monkey Donut", his favorite ska band)
SaddamTheMan: That shit's the bomb yo!
BushWhacker: oh shit, Cheney was right...ttyl
SaddamTheMan: ttyl

My fortune today...

What does this mean for me? It doesn't seem that there's much secret about how much I want the big changes in my life to take place ASAP.

Is there something else? I open the floor to comments.

Of course I've tried the "...in bed" and "...with a turkey baster" tricks, and the first has potential...though it sounds a little too much like the cookie is telling me to change teams....which doesn't appeal to me.

Balanced coverage at its best...

I took this screenshot a while back because the juxtaposition of the two stories just struck me as too damn funny. I'm finally getting around to blogging about it.

"Berlin awaits the 'Next JFK'"...a story of Obama's "historic" visit to Berlin.

"McCain visits grocery store"...a story of McCain's "historic" visit to a grocery store.

Visual Studio 2008 middle mouse button autoscrolling

Well this is probably of no interest to any of the frequent readers (haha) of my blog, but I discovered something interesting just now. Apparently the middle mouse button "autoscrolling" does not work in Visual Studio 2008 when you run it as administrator in Vista.

I had set my program files shortcut for VS2008 to always run as administrator (necessary for some IIS stuff). I had also always been disappointed that the autoscroll functions did not seem to work.

Anyway, I finally put two and two together and tried running VS2008 normally, at which point the autoscrolling worked again!

Simon Volunteers

I think Simon Volunteers should make a project out of refinishing the hardwood floors in my new house/duplex.

I hear they have some incredibly intelligent, sensitive, and thoughtful officers.

Think of the community service they could provide with this extreme makeover!

Wanted to try "Blog this" link from Picasa

Wow google...you rock!

Damn its easy to watch other people sweat

Isn't the Olympics great! We get to sit around blogging while people practically kill themselves running marathons and stuff. It's so easy to look on and say "come on, you can keep it going...only 7 miles left...and you'll have a gold medal". Of course I think I would literally die (as opposed to a figurative death, like if Poky killed Gumby) if I tried to run even one mile at the pace they run 26 (and we're talking about the women here btw).

Now I'm confused...

Ok, so now I've seen my second presidential campaign commercial. Apparently "the real Obama" molests children or something like that and I guess that McCain is going to make everything better for everyone. Good for him.

Presidential commercial virginity lost

I just saw my first presidential commercial of the season...guess that comes from being in a non-battleground state and not watching that much tv.

It was for Obama. I guess he's going to fix all the problems in the world or something. Good for him.

No longer getting my blogging ass kicked by Mini Melly

Well, Mini Melly has slowed down in her all-out blog assault. This has allowed me to take the lead with thought provoking, one might say "life changing" blog posts such as this one.

Let's pull it together Mini Melly...your fans are depending on you!

GBA411 useful in real life?

Who would have thought that GBA411 would turn out to be so useful already in real life? I think I may have a lucrative future business in providing spreadsheet models for complicated divorces.

Getting my blogging ass kicked by MiniMelly

I'm clearly behind in my blogging. MiniMelly is MillyMellifying my blog with her sarcastic criticism...

SPOT Cafe has air conditioning...apparently Javas does not. Bad Javas.

Javas gets much higher marks for its wireless though. Bad SPOT.

At least Matthews is next door and offers its wireless to SPOT patrons in what is surely a grand gesture of East End unity.

ROWE

I've been reading some about ROWE recently. It seems like a great idea to me. I do have a certain amount of flexibility in my current position, but I have worked in situations in the past that really sucked. I strongly believe that if you treat people like babies, they'll either act like babies or only stay till something (anything) better comes along.

With modern telecommunications and the cost of gas (and more importantly the effect of commuting on the environment, energy supply, etc.), it makes no sense to force a bunch of adults to drive to the same location every day from 8-5 only to sit in their offices, attend largely useless meetings, and face constant interruptions.

Why should anyone care about anything other than well defined results?

Geek Nirvana

So I've finally acheived (Web 2.0) geek nirvana. I'm sitting in a coffee shop blogging. The fact that this fact is what I'm blogging about and that no one reads my blog (really why would they unless I paid them) makes it all the sweeter.

ah innocence...

at dinner...

My daughter: I love chicken.
Me: (glad because getting her to eat dinner is never easy) Oh, that's great!
My daughter: Daddy, where does chicken come from?
Me: Uh..(thinking hard here)...from chickens.

Then I swear I could see the wheels turning in her head as she pictured chickens coming to our house to deliver chicken (a completely different thing from the animals themselves of course).

Beef and pork are so much easier in this respect.

My first blog ever!

This is my first blog post ever in my first blog ever...kinda momentous given that I'm a computer nerd.
