The Dyson Telescope Game. Very cool puzzle game.
Homemade Mortar. I must have one of these. If for no other reason than it would let me briefly take my bowling ball out of retirement.
The Ergonomic Keyboard for Pirates. Damn. Wish I'd seen this before Talk Like a Pirate Day. Arrrr!

A new contest has opened and there are already a few entries. Go look. Vote by linking to an entry on your own blog. I'm reading 'em but will wait to vote until Thursday or Friday.
It's wierd. I think this is the first week since I've been blogging that I'm not in the contest. The end of an era.

8,000+ visits this week and only 4 people voted for my entry in the New Weblog Showcase? Come on people! I know it has become a sort of tradition for me to enter the Showcase but the last two entries were allowed only because of technicalities. Unless NZ Bear lets everybody back in again because of Isabel interference or something like that this is my very last shot at the coveted trophy.
Don't make me beg. You wouldn't like me when I beg.
Okay, I'm begging. Please, oh please! Please put a link to my entry on your site.
Still no? Well you should just think about something. I know things, you know. Things that could make things rather unpleasant for you. A wise person would probably put a link to my entry on their weblog.
I didn't mean it! It's the pressure. It's just getting to me.
So what will it take then? Money? How much? Does $5 a link sound fair? Okay, it's a deal. Go forth and link me.
Ah, who am I kidding. You know I'm a cheap bastard and would never pay up. How about this, then. You link my entry and I will personally drink a beer in your honor at the barbeque tomorrow. That's fair, isn't it? You get a real world effect for just making a post on your blog. That's a something for nothing deal there, that is. I'll throw in a bonus, too. If I get lots of links that means I'll be lots of drunk. If I win the contest I'll get G to guestblog any stupid stuff that I do.
And go ahead and vote for any of the other contestants at the Showcase. Just don't vote for anybody with more votes than me.

One question: When performing an upper decker you can't flush. What do you do with the toilet paper?

You would think, since there is no more than 6 degrees of separation between each of us and Kevin Bacon that a virus trolling thru one after another address book, would eventually find kevin bacon, or pam anderson and send me a virus mail using their address as sender.
Now if I actually got one, I don't know yet what I would do with it, but if it was Pam's (or Jolene's!) I might be inclined to write and suggest I can help her with her virus problems and offer to go visit. Kevin's I would probably chuck. ;-)
But I wonder what it means that we don't have any celebrity virus mail. Are there more than 6 degrees of separation? Do they have better virus protection in Hollywood than the rest of us? Maybe they don't use e-mail at all? Maybe they use pseudonyms or their original names to hide their identity. Like Tony Curtis using Bernie Schwartz. So perhaps I have gotten virus mail from Madonna, but didn't realize that Louise Veronica Ciccone was her. It's possible that if I got one from Jacko@neverneverland.com, I wouldn't believe it really was from the gloved one.
Well pseudonyms are plausible as an excuse for the biggest celebrities, but I suspect there are large numbers of celebrities (sports, authors, etc.) that wouldn't use a pseudonym. I can't see Johnny Cochrane for example, hiding his identity. Probably a virus from him would rhyme:
We like our mails to have some charm,
but sometimes they contain a virus,
so if in fact this mail does harm,
let's sue the hacker, please hire us.
How come I don't see viruses coming ostensibly from politicians or well-known government officials or at least their offices? They send out enough mail...
Instead people get viruses from weird names like i18nguy, and bluedscrewedandtattooed31. Something is funny here, but I can not yet put my finger on it. Maybe there is a first class network,and we are all riding (or writing) coach...
Viruses would be more tolerable if they were coming from celebrities. I would love to get a mail from Gore Vidal, or Buzz Aldrin. Heck, if I got one, I might even forward it to friends to show them! ;-)

"B" is for Bystander, like the people who watched as Anna Lindh was chased up an escalator and stabbed to death.

- Likes:
- The people - I work with a fantastic team. Every person is skilled, has a professional work ethic, is friendly with a good sense of humor, and everybody works well together.
- The location - Georgia, Sweet Georgia. I owe my status as a voluntary southerner to this job.
- Psycho-nerd friendly - Not only do I get to work on a computer all day long, my primary job goal is to break stuff on it!
- Dislikes:
- Medicharade - Lowsy health coverage just added insult to injury by increasing in cost by almost 500%.
- Purchases - Getting programs, equipment, office supplies is just slightly more difficult than pulling teeth here. I've had an order for steno pads held for almost 4 months now. Steno pads. 4 months. I could buy them myself and expense them but I'd rather bend over and take it up the rectum with a nail gun first. It's the principle of the thing.
- HVAC - The heating and air conditioning blow (no pun intended). Heat is on G's side of the prairie, a/c is on mine. I freeze and he broils.
2. What do you wish you could do on your weekends?
Nothing. I would love to have a weekend where I did absolutely nothing. Wake up whenever, do whatever, sleep whenever. That would be so cool.
3. What architectural style appeals to you the most and why?
Post modern antedeluvian. I have no idea what that is but it sure sounds fancy, eh?
4. If your house was on fire and your family and pets were safe but you could only grab three things, what would they be?
First off I'd be leaving the birds and the fish in order to grab more than 3 things. Sheesh, get the priorities straight. Forget the dogs and cats, too. If they don't know to get out when the house is on fire then they can say hello to Darwin for me. Natural selection, baby. That's where it's at.
After keys, wallet and cell phone would come strongbox, box of albums and many CD's with our lives recorded upon them.
5. What was the last premonition you had come true?
With three kids they come on a daily basis. You just look around to see what they're doing and imagine the worst possible way it could come out. They generally fulfill that prophecy for you. Yesterday Bear and Bacon were riding Bacon's trike on the porch. I just knew that Bear was going to take them down the big front hill and plow into the railroad tie in front of the bushes. And they did. They didn't actually flip over the tie and fall down the front embankment through the bushes, which I had also thought they would do, so I guess that's just a partial premonition fulfillment. They'll probably take care of that last part today sometime.
6. What is love?
Crikey, that's a rough one. Maybe I should switch to the Friday Five so I won't get anything harder than "What's your favorite color and how did this change since you were a kid". Anyway, love is many things. Many splendored things, I guess. It's caring, nurturing, supporting and knowing you in turn are cared for, nurtured and supported. It's giving of yourself for no other reason than you want to do so. Most of all it's a touch, a glance, a smile or maybe a little unexpected kiss that makes you warm inside and requires no response because it just is what it is.
