SharpMT — my new w.bloggar replacement

I’ve been looking for a more MT-specific tool to replace w.bloggar, and I have now found it: SharpMT (or #MT). #MT is an off-line composition tool similar to w.bloggar, but it has more tools specific to MT: Extended entry, Exerpts, Drafts, Keywords, etc… . Basically, it takes the advanced MT interface, and put it into a Windows program. It’s a great tool, and is now in my start-up menu (and the author is in the process of adding Spell Checking — the only other feature I’d really like to see).

Ruminations

From Ruminate.com:

My wife told me that picking my nose is disgusting. Great — now I’ve got to do it myself.

Finally breaking through all of the old grudges, confronting past hurts, and truly forgiving my ex-husband was easy. Giving him that hug that says “everything’s okay” was easy. The hard part was digging his dismembered corpse out of my flower bed.

I was fired from my job for peeing in my trash can. I know it was a gross thing to do, but I really had to go bad — and hey, I had my back to my students.

When my parents come to visit, I force them to smoke pot and do straight shots of whiskey. Hey, when you’re in MY house, you live by MY rules.

I take three days off…

And I get a pile of projects, all of which have to be done today. Ugh…don’t expect much blogging until my lunch break — if I get one.

My birthday’s on Wednesday

So 1) I won’t be posting much between now and Friday, 2) You only have a couple days to donate and send me some cash so I can buy goodies I want ;).

I will try to post in the next few days, but don’t hold me to it.

Raise money for the Chubby Jedi

A few days ago, I posted that the Chubby Jedi had been identified. Now, there’s a fund raising effort that has been started to give the kid some cash for entertaining us all. The effort and the kid is now receiving national attention from all sorts of places (though the NYT’s source for the image on the story is “http://graphics7.nytimes.com/images/2003/05/19/business/19DORK.jpg” — real professional guys).

Tales from the Parts Counter

I just spent a good chunk of my lunch reading this. This guys works at an Autozone, and has documented all his stupid customer experiences. Some of them are downright scary. But all are damn funny. Link from BBspot.

This week’s most buried headline

This could be a real stinker this week for the Pentagon. Apparently over $1 trillion are missing as well as “dozens of tanks, missiles and planes.” Full Story.

I’ve got a question: How do you lose $1 trillion dollars? Hell, give me a million, and I’ll hold on to it for you.

UC Berkeley professor has studied masturbation for a decade

Sure, pal. “Studied” it. Basically, all he wanted was an excuse to wank off on company time use research money for it (joking). Full Story.
