I know drunk driving is not funny but but the other night at the bar I overheard someone telling quite possibly the funniest story about when they realized it was time to stop drunk driving.

On the way home from a bender at the bars one night, they saw cop lights in their rear view mirror and proceeded to pull over. They sat there fretting for a while as they waited for the cops to come over to the car. A considerable amount of time went by and they figured it must be pretty bad but didn't want to look out at the cop.

A couple more minutes past and the cop still hadn't come to the car so they finally decided to look back out the window to see what was going on. When they did they realized they were parked next to a barber shop and the cop light was the barber pole. FAIL.

I got the nigiri lunch. It was delicious as always. It threw the waitress for a loop because I always get iced-tea, vegtable fried rice and yellowtail sashimi. She has my order memorized at this point but this time I got the nigiri lunch with hot tea.

We headed down to the gorge but this time, with the water so low, we went all the way down to the bridge. We climbed up and down the gorge wall instead of using the stairs and then climbed just about every rock along the way.


@terry always has to be too close to the edge

@flacidness kissing the rock man.

At the end @flacidness and I ate steak to recoup.

I am obsessed with this silly anime that @terry posted about last week.

Can't remember where I found this pic but I had saved it in my phone and saw it again today when cleaning up the phone. I think the red hair guy is so hot.

This is not a very good representation of what went down.

ie flash offscreen wmode transparent cursor bug One of my coworkers came to me saying that his cursor was missing in editable text areas on the intranet on windows 7/IE 8/9. This is the craziest bug I have ever seen. I was able to fix it but it was a combo of IE 8/9 with Flash Player 11.1.102.55 on Windows 7. Strangely, it does not appear to happen on my windows XP machine with IE 8 and the same flash player. Not sure if it show up anywhere else. If you put a flash swf with wmode=transparent in an offscreen absolute position, the text cursor does not show up in the text area on the page as you click around to edit. These are the kind of bugs that make me hate IE. Here is an example

ie clipboard security: Believe it or not the IE setting clipboard security vulnerability I presented many years ago still also exists on computers running IE8 with windows 7. It is especially scary because it continues to monitor your clipboard even when the browser is in the background or minimized. Please make sure you have nothing sensitive in your clipboard before visiting. The bug only show up in IE when you have javascript access to clipboard allowed Clearly I used to care more about design, just check out the difference in style between these two bug reports, lol.

The other night @mike had a dinner party for the family. He made this delicious terriaki chicken with green beans, cauliflower pasta salad and salad. Then we had a chocolate cake from dolci.

My brother is a borderline horder as is evidenced by the fact that he has a bowl of matches from stores that closed upwards of 10 years ago on his coffeetable. To make it crazier, he us a non smoker.

I was updating the server last night and copied some files over from the dev site which prohibited access from off my network. I didn't realize because I was on the network. Everything is good now.

It had been a while since I had been to Buckhorn on Grand Island, probably about 15 years. I forgot how pretty the scrub between river and forest can be. The day was very cloudy and dark but the temperature was a warm 60F.

It was so nice out that this ladybug hasn't hibernated yet.



The 190 bridge over the creek had the craziest looking swamp slime.


This little mouse didn't make it.


I took a bunch of panoramas too.

I was kind of surprised at the amount of Graffiti. Every nature trail sign and overview was ripped down and replaced with graffiti.


It was fun playing in the trees.

Some trees on East River road had this crazy disease.



I think someone doesn't know its winter yet.
