If you hated blogging but had a blog you’d have this blog. Of course if you neglected your blog for more valuable pursuits you’d have this blog. And of course if you had a witty sense of humor but were extremely hooked on George Bush, you’d have this blog. And if you were an apiring jazz musician/programmer, you’d have this blog. And if you were me – you’d have this blog.
A Rolling Stone Attends No Mass
I’m pretty sure that’s how things’ll be the next two Sundays. We’ll miss church (not Mass, but I had to go for the pun) for two weeks because of travelling to Indiana. We’ll be leaving tomorrow morning and then we’ll be coming back to CO the following weekend.
Today the females of the household will be heading to Juan Costello Penney’s Studio Eportraito [J.C. Penney’s Portrait Studio] to get pictures taken. Hopefully the folks there are a little bit smarter and faster than the folks we ran into the last time in Texas. Otherwise we’ll have to change over to Juan Valdez’s Cafe and Photographia.
Weblog Tools Collection
A good resource for information on blogging tools in general and WordPress things in general: Weblog Tools Collection. They don’t have StatTraq on the list yet, but I’m trying to get ahold of the author to see if he’ll add it to the list.
I Sing Louder
Abby declared just moments ago, “I Sing Louder!” Followed by, “HAPPY TRAILS TO YOU…” and that’s as far as she got because Jessica silenced her (because her aunts are valiantly trying to sleep in the living room while we function around them).
Jessica then asked me if I had put her up to it. Of course not, Abby is her own creative genius.
Twenty-One and a Quarter
I have put in twenty-one and a quarter hours in this week for work and it’s only Tuesday. I’m pooped, I’m going to bed and I am sure others have worked longer, harder hours than I have. However, I also have managed to clock 12 hours in the last 48 hours of family time. In short that means that I’ve logged about 14 hours of ‘other time’ somewhere in there sleeping (or not since Abby’s been waking up a lot) and converting oxygen into carbon-dioxide. I’m a busy guy, but I love it. Beats the snot out of unemployment.
In comparison Jessica, Kelsey and Kristin (in order of age) have watched seven episodes of Alias, watched ‘Mean Girls’ and sat on their buns eating bon-bons in that time 😉
You Were Right – They’re Morons
If you thought that people sending out spams and scams were short on intellect….you were right. In a BBC article Turning the tables on Nigeria’s e-mail conmen we learn of how stupid these scammers are, and how one guy got $80.00 from one of them!
Cute Abby Quote
Abby said this morning, “I’m a business girl.”
And then Kristin (or Kelsey) asked, “Are you getting married?”
“Yes”
“Who are you going to marry?”
“I marry Becky.”
[Becky is her aunt who recently got married.] Funny, yet sad to a father’s ears.
Microsoft Wants to Trick You into Thinking Your Wintel is a Mac
How? With a Mac-like mouse from Microsoft. If you are considering switching to OS-X…. please don’t let this detere you.
StatTraq Users
As people use StatTraq I’ll be linking to them – It’s pretty cool to see folks actually getting some use out of it.
Let me know if you’re using the software and I’ll blog your site as well.
Note: I am not responsible for content on these sites, just the statistics application they use.
Contribute Tech Books to your Local Library
If you’ve finished using a tech book that is new enough to be relevant and you’re done with it, consider donating it to your local library. I just visited my local library, and while it’s a nice library their tech section is way outdated. Find your local library and donate your tech books.
