Vaio Reborn

After ripping the vaio mini apart the other day, it had come to life once again. I think hybrid computers with parts from various other machines seem touch. Sometimes I feel like our house is the computer version of the swan studio at fox.

Xylophone

I was cleaning up my office computer this afternoon and found a couple of unfinished projects. One was a fixed up model from my pull-a-tune project. I re-rendered it for nostalgia's sake and processed it with photoshop.

I am not a CAT

This is so messed up. I was talking with (e:twisted) on my phone (IM) we she notified me that my icon was of a cat. Everyone knows I hate cats and furthermore (e:twisted) has the crazy cat thing going on in her life right now. And here I am unknowingly a crazy maniac cat face peering out over IM without even knowing. What is up with that. I think I caught the icon at UB using ichat in the classroom.

This is insane

I cannot believ it this jorunal . Maybe I don't even believe it, but if it's true it means a whole of for the state of Amerika.

A couple of weeks ago, following the last presidential debate, I said some rather inflammatory things about George W. Bush in a public post in my LJ, done in a satirical style. We laughed, we ranted, we all said some things. I thought it was a fairly harmless (and rather obvious) attempt at humor in the face of annoyance, and while a couple of people were offended, as is typical behavior from me, I saw something shiny and forgot about it, thinking that the whole thing was over and done and nothing else would come of what I said.

I was wrong.

At 9:45 last night, the Secret Service showed up on my mother's front door to talk to me about what I said about the President, as what I said could apparently be misconstrued as a threat to his life. After about ten minutes of talking to me and my family, they quickly came to the conclusion that I was not a threat to national security (mostly because we are the least threatening people in the entire world) and told me that they would not recommend that any further action be taken with my case. However, I do now have a file with the FBI that includes my photograph, my e-mail address, and the location of my LJ. This will follow me around for the rest of my life, regardless of the fact that the Secret Service knows that I am not a threat.

CFA or hospital

Does the CFA at UB remind anyone else of a hospital or insane asylum? If so, who picked hospital aesthetic and thought it was a good idea? More importantly, what is the connection between aesthetic and anaesthetic?

Dishes

I decided I am going to throw out the dishes. It may seem extreme but it works. We will each have one dish and one cup in addition to one fork, one spoon and one knife. We wil never have more than 20 things to wash. Guests, you can bring your own and take them home with you.

I guess this is the kind of angry son of a bitch I become when I forget my computer power supply at school. I had so much stuff to work on and now I am reduced to doing dishes. What a waste. Why even bother with all this education crap, if I still have to resort to doing dishes. I hate dishes. I just want enough money to never have to deal with dishes or laundry again.

The swan and snowflakes

Yes i am still up working on haikus and snowflakes.

The snow flakes are an experiment in alternative menus. They aree just in their infant phase. Being simple ASCII text they are very low impact. You can "shovel" the whites up by clicking them. The red ones turn them off for that session. The orange one produces haiku's using an eleborate formula. The green one animates them which is autpaused while you are typing a journal entry to make it less distracting. Full winter effects for the site will be avaiable soon, flakes willl only come out when it is snowing after I get some time to fnd a better weatehr feed. I previously using the NOAA feed at but it only reported overcast for today, even though it definately snowed.

It seemsunreal at this point. What else seems unreal is The Swan. (e:holly) knows more about this show than anyone. She presented about it at a conference in Montreal. It is a reality TV show for plasric surgery . (e:terry) said he thinks that this is a worse indictation of what our society has turned into than the election of George Bush. Personally, I would love to see a presidential makeover reality show, where the president gets a political makover.

This is what erica went through.

::DOWNLOAD SOUND::

This is what I am suggetsing for Mr. Bush: To start out with we need a social welfare understanding booster. We would have to take some of the fat away from oil industry and add it back to the poor. Then maybe a reduction in the sagging defense buget proposals followed by aggresive, radical braiin augmentation.

PS (e:twisted) is the best beta tester in the world.
