I know where it all comes from

The cardboard that is. I seriosuly canno believe the way people pack stuff. I thought I was getting my new external hard drive in the box and I still thought the box was big. Then it turned out to only be the 2ft firewire 800 cable. Seriously, such a giant box, stuffed with paper for this tiny, indesctructible, no moving parts firewire cable.

If I don't take the box home it will all go in the trash (e:paul,45618)

We all had the same issue when we ordered those flat imac keyboard, they weigh nothing and are tiny but came in boxes twice the size of this box with another box inside, stuffed with those styrofoam peanuts.

Roswell park refusing to recycle

Here we have another peek into the garbage dumpster at 901 Washington at Roswell. I seriously can't believe how much cardboard they put in the garbage, it's disgusting. There was a bunch more inside waiting to be broken down. This is just an update to (e:paul,45562)

Crazy Evening with the e:imk2ster

I can't believe I forgot to take any pictures last night ;( So much happend.

We went to go see tropic thunder

with (e:imk2), (e:limsay), (e:tinypliny), (e:mrmike), keith, and (e:imk2)'s friend julia. We missed you (e:metalpeter). Ben Stiller has a perfect body I think. I wish mine looked more like his, maybe someday. I thought it was slapstick funny but otherwise it got kind of boring at parts. Make sure you bring people who are not sensitive.

Afterwards, we came to our house where we waited for (e:jim) and (e:james) along with (e:matthew)'s ex-boyfriend from high school who is moving to Paris. (E:tinypliny) and I talked food for a long while and I gave her some of the tomatoes from the garden.

Then we went to go meet robert and another james, their neighbors (Philis start a journal and her husband) at fugazi where some older gentlemen from florida molested me at the bar and tried to get me to go "to their hotel" with them or at least "their car", lol. That didn't happen but it was nice to have people be excited about trying to get with me.

Then for the first time in like 10 years I went to a party at someone else's house. A friend of (e:flacidness) was having a birthday party and they did not have animals. It was so crazy to be at someone else's house. (e:imk2) and I showed up at like 2am to meet everyone else.

Farmer's market revisited

Driving through kenmore this morning i saw thry have a farmers market
too. But I love the bidwell farmer's market and was hoping for honey
sticks so I waited. Sadly, the honey people were not there. I got so
much stuff including flowers, fresh Lima beans in pod ( never saw that
before) sausage, and this awesome zebra aloe plant that is flowering.

I also saw that a lot of the stands accept new York farmers market
checks. What are those?

The lima beans were so good.

Microsoft is going to die

So apparently, microsoft has lost so much money because of the mac vs PC advertisement series that portrays windows as a dorky, chunky business man and mac as a cute, hipster. In order to combat it, they are coming out with an advertsiment series staring Jerry Seinfeld to help bolster windows vista. This is the first in the series and Seinfeld is being paid $10 million for his work in the series.

I seriously cannot fucking believe how lame it is. I would think this is going to be the death of microsoft. Check it out.

I almost bought a lunix-based UMPC... until I started using OneNote, which I am totally loving. Evil has won the battle. :-( (If it wasn't free from UB, I wouldn't be using it!)

(hmmmm... a little research shows :::link::: Notebook might be an able competitor....)

metalpeter writes at 03:29:54 09/06/08 - Comment #38653: First of all, those Mac Vs. PC adds are awesome and very funny, oh and that actor is in the New Die Hard movie it is on HBO tonight for those who haven't seen it yet.

I don't understand the Microsoft ad my self. I did like it but that is because I thought it was for some shoe place no one had ever heard of then they leave and it is for windows, I don't get it.

tinypliny writes at 11:57:39 09/05/08 - Comment #38641: Here is the rundown -> :::link:::

And I agree, word for word.

tinypliny writes at 11:35:38 09/05/08 - Comment #38640: Heh... He had a very handsome jawline back then. :)

vincent writes at 11:31:57 09/05/08 - Comment #38639: The only cool thing about that commercial is that he used his Mug Shot from 1977 on his Clown Club Card.

tinypliny writes at 10:45:29 09/05/08 - Comment #38631: Of course, if Google releases its long-awaited long-talked-about super-secret opensource OS, then all bets are off. They already have an internal version of the Linux Ubuntu distribution. M$ will surely die then.

tinypliny writes at 10:41:13 09/05/08 - Comment #38630: I am not sure I can even laugh. Its just bizzare.

Microsoft can never die till office of the world (eg. Roswell) don't bow down to its inefficient monopoly and dumb users like me are too scared to jump ship to Linux (because of dumbness and a certain lame laziness and lack of comforting software) and too un-hep to justify the cost of a ultra-elitist Mac.

matthew writes at 10:40:34 09/05/08 - Comment #38629: oh my lord, what crap! One day future historians will look at this ad as the 'end of microsoft'. I swear it!

drew writes at 10:39:00 09/05/08 - Comment #38628: No commercial will ever convince me to buy another Microsoft product.

Next time its either open source or Mac.

tinypliny writes at 10:37:42 09/05/08 - Comment #38625: In the future Windows versions would make the computer an edible cookie.
And we should be excited about Bill Gates getting a better pair of shoes and shorts.
A former comedian with a terrible recent movie helped him see the light.

Exactly. HUH?

paul writes at 10:36:11 09/05/08 - Comment #38624: Appealing in it makes you want to purchase or you laugh because its so ridiculous.

drew writes at 10:26:49 09/05/08 - Comment #38623: I hate microsoft, but the commercial is appealing.

imk2 writes at 10:26:48 09/05/08 - Comment #38622: huh? i don't get it? am i missing something? i think this is too high brow for me.

Thursday in the square

I am so fed up with work today. After one of the worst work days
ever, I managed to check out the last Thursday in the Square.
Unfortunately, it is messing with my gym schedule, which is making me
angry.
