Crooks trying to steal the night deposit bag from a business instead run off with a worker’s lunch bag. Idiots.

Florida Loses Voting Records
Apparently getting ready to swing the vote in the 2004 election, Florida has lost a pile of voting records from a 2002 election.
Sad But True
When you’re floating the Deschutes River through Bend, don’t do it on air mattresses or you’ll be lucky to live.
“Biggitry [sic] isn’t a good Christian Value”
And neither is bad spelling:
Boy does that ever make me want to suport their cause (which was, by the way, to put Bend’s Equal Rights Ordanince to voters). If you’re going to protest something, at least make sure it’s an intelligent protest, with intelligent spelling.
Despite the Money, Inmates Still Go Free?!?
I’m glad I’m not the only one that found it a bit peculiar that the Deschutes Co. Sheriff, who blitzed us to pieces with their Sheriff’s Levy ad campaign last year, has suddenly found a bunch more money — nearly $700,000 worth of extra cash.
So they get this extra money, their levy passes, and they still had to release inmates early last month. And even with this extra money, the Sheriff says he can’t help the early release of inmates. That’s comforting.
Oh, but don’t worry — because of this new found cash, they’ll be able to hire and promote some people. Hopefully those extra helping hands will keep those crooks they let out from robbing us again. He does plan on hiring a computer forensic examiner, so if you read this blog, you’ll know there’s a way to get a degree in that area of study entirely online.
Communists
Man spends 30 years collecting 1-million pennies (on a bet with a friend), only to find out that the U.S. Mint won’t exchange them.
Why Spam Will Never Die
Because, apparently, twenty percent of Americans buy items from Spam e-mails. I say we all do our part to find those people, beat them senseless, and take away their computers and e-mail accounts.
This Is Very Typical Sony
They’re trying to compete with the iPod — a bad idea in its own right — with a player that, while smaller, has a smaller hard drive and uses Sony’s proprietary ATRAC3 compression format. What this means is you have to use their jackass software to put songs on the thing, instead of just dragging and dropping or using damn near any software you want with the iPod.
Portable DSL?
I had a guest check in today for his vacation home who brought his DSL modem with him, because he’s convinced he can plug it in to the phone line at his unit here in Sunriver, and he’ll get his DSL. I had to tell him that it wouldn’t work. He didn’t believe me.
He just called me, asked us to give him SBC/Yahoo’s 800 number so he could call them and yell at them because apparently he was told he could do that. If I could take a DSL modem and plug it into any phone plug in the world and have it magically work, I’d buy one — or a dozen — myself. Meanwhile, I gave the guest the local AOL, Earthlink, and NetZero dial up numbers, because he said he had an account with one of them, but he couldn’t remember which one.
