Right on! I may have to start drinking the stuff (I prefer my caffeine via other methods).

Fla. Woman Charged With Transmitting HIV To 200 Partners
Note: I really need to add a sick category. One of these days I’ll get around to it. A Jacksonville woman is facing charges that she criminally transmitted the HIV virus to at least 200 unprotected parters. Melissa Jernigan, 24, told police that she tested positive for the virus in 1999 and continued to have unprotected sex.
UtterlyBoring.com is a reality
After beating up my poor server with a pile of rebuilds, template tweaks, etc…, UtterlyBoring.com is finally a reality. JakeOrtman.com will be the location of my personal site here soon, but not for a bit.
I’m still working out the bugs here, and plowing through some future ideas, but it’s getting there. Meanwhile, you can contact us by some various methods, and I encourage you to sign up for my daily update e-mail, as well.
Now back to your regularly scheduled posting.
Re-doing the site — utterlyboring.com coming soon
I’m in the process of moving the entire site over to PHP, and to get it onto a new template that will be easier on the eyes, easier to make changes to, and easier to download and navigate. To see how things are going so far, click here. I’m in the process of converting the archives, etc… to the new format, and make everything PHP and CSS friendly, and making two seperate sites for things: all personal stuff (resume, portfolio, etc…) will be posted at JakeOrtman.com. This blog, which will be still updated daily, will be posted at UtterlyBoring.com (or utterlyboring.com/blog for those of you that have it bookmarked already). One of these days I’ll get a functional hosting service at orty.com — just need a few more hours (read: days) on my hand.
Man sues himself for $250,000
I only wish I were kidding. OK, maybe I am, as it is the Weekly World News that has the byline on this, but it just looks much more credible and serious as it’s on Yahoo’s site. The same story doesn’t look nearly as official on the WWN’s Online Edition.
This is why these morons will always be working at Taco Bell
Want to get free food, after a long fight, at a fast-food place? Try to pay for your food with a two-dollar bill. It’s an old story, and some rumors say it’s urban legend, but if Snopes deems it “Undetermined”, that’s good enough for me.
Zero Tolerance Strikes Again
From Fark: Ohio School Suspends 1st-Grader For Having Plastic Knife. Asinine? Yes. Full Story. They give out the knifes during lunch, but they aren’t supposed to be taken home (which the 1st grader did). The best part? If the school insists on upholding the suspension, his parents, reportedly will seek criminal charges against the school for supplying weapons to children.
If Google says it’s true, it must be
Because all know the French have never won a war.
A very well-done bit of satire.
