I don’t think I could lose at this game. Wait, maybe that’s the point.
Looking to run everything with free software?
If you’re going to run Windows, you’ll have to pirate pay for that, but at least do everything else you need with freeware tools. The NeoWin forums has this very handy list of freeware tools for just about everything, recommended by its members, and I’m mostly posting it here so I don’t lose it.
The real Michael Jackson
Keeping with the Michael Jackson theme on this site, what would Jacko look like if he had never had any plastic surgery? Leave it to modern forensics to decide.
Only in Oregon
This is why I love this state. What other state would you not have to worry if you accidentally forgot to lock up when you left work for the evening? The Safeway store was empty, but the folks who went in, looking to buy groceries, guarded the store until somebody arrived to lock up the place. Thanks to Jack for the link.
What’s your Digital IQ?
I scored a 196. What’d you score? Link from the man down under (who scored higher than me). I’m sure Ken will score higher because he’s got a whole bunch of stupid toys.
Looking for some holiday gift ideas?
How about a festive mask from your sister’s underwear? Or a nice tampon angel? Be sure to get grandma a nice cross-stich pattern for her knitting sessions. Links via Davezilla.
I’m sick of waiting
I got my MRI last Wednesday (day before Thanksgiving). They said the films would be back to the doctor’s office today. I was getting impatient, so I called them. They, of course, haven’t received them yet.
I’m getting impatient. It’s nobody’s fault, really, but I just want to know if the treatment/diagnosis is going to be something relatively cheap (like some physical therapy) or if it’s something nasty (surgery, cancer, swift kick to the head with a steel boot, etc… .).
Meanwhile, I’m still stuck on the couch, luckily working a bit so I don’t have to use up all my sick time. But I’m still impatient.
The Lonely Little Brain Cell
Another email forward (and please, clean your email, folks):
Once upon a time there was a female brain cell which, by mistake, happened to end up in a man’s head.
She looked around nervously because it was all empty and quiet.
“Hello?” she cried, but no answer. “Is there anyone here?” she cried a little louder, but still no answer.
Now the female brain cell started to feel alone and scared and yelled at the top of her voice, “HELLO, IS THERE ANYONE HERE?”
Then she heard a faint voice from far, far away…
“We’re down here!”
I wish government entities would have never discovered Flash and Java
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have created hideous sites like these (and be sure to watch their enthralling Flash intro). The citizens of Jackson County in Florida should complain. Their tax dollars, I’m sure, paid for that mess.
A nice touching poem
A poem that someone just sent to me:
S O M E T I M E S
Sometimes…
when you cry…
no one sees your tears.
Sometimes…
when you are in pain…
no one sees your hurt.
Sometimes…
when you are worried…
no one sees your stress.
Sometimes…
when you are happy…
no one sees your smile.
But FART!! just ONE time…
And everybody knows!!
