WTF

This enlightening musical commentary on the Spanish people may explain issues with their economy.


I am so tired

·

I am trying to wrap up this massive work project in the last few days so that i don't have to think about it during St. Patricks day weekend. I cannot wait for it to be freakin over. I have already worked 12-15 hours everyday this week. With 40 hours right now. Tomorrow hasn't even started yet. It better just go smooth and then I am going to take off.

I really hope in april we get a new position and I can finally have an assistant/partner in crime. I would love so much to have someone to work with directly so that I am not responsible for so much stuff alone. Plus its just more interesting to work with other people and have someone to talk to about the projects we would be working on together.

God I look strung out from programming.

Liberte vs chobani yogurt

·

The liberate is 1000% tastier but check out the fat on that. 0% fat vs almost half the daily allowance of saturated fat. The chobani is also not very many calories in general. My puffed rice cereal is the same way. Its like 50 calories a bowl. I think I need to up the significance of my breakfast.

Time for a new grill

·

The grill had a run in with the wind storm last week that might have been life threating. I got it to start up again buy I think it might be time to just start over. I feel bad because it cooked so many good meals.

When dishwashers go bad

·

I spent the good part of two hours on Sunday night cleaning out the dishwasher parts. I took it apart down to the motor and cleaned out every tube and part. The thing just wasn't washing right anymore and the dishes were coming out disgusting.

It was totally worth it because afterwards they came out sparkly clean like when it was new. I also soaked the glasses that had residue buildup in vinegar overnight. I think everything is back to normal now.

Emo kids stoned to death

·

When I first read the title in an aggregator I thiught it was some war on drugs propaganda but its worse.

This is why religious people terrify me. I wonder if being emo can get you political assymlum now.




The weather

·

Its 66 right now. Almost 70 and its March 12th. I think I will swim within a week at this rate to beat the record of April 1.

Hiking at Little Rock city

·

We headed down to little rock city to enjoy the sun and some climbing. I really need to get back to the gym. Its amazing how much less secure I felt since I lost all the muscle I had gained at the gym. Unfortunately, this was the worst winter ever for exercise. There wasn't really enough snow for winter fun and the gym closed down. That plus I worked too much.

The picture of @terry is so funny. He is so damn white right now. Its like the polar opposite (pun intended) of when you when take a picture of @flacidness in a dimly lit environment.

Web replacing desktop

·

I am fascinated at the speed at which web apps are surplanting desktop apps. At some point it won't matter which OS you are using as long as the browser works. It also makes me thing Chrome OS has potential for a lot of people.

Here are two chrome apps I tried and liked.

[link=pixlr.com]pixlr[/com] which acts as an online photoshop. Its brought to you by autodesk which are the same people behind Maya and 3D studio max. Basically where all video games and movies are made ,as well as, software that drives auto and industrial design. They even have a firefox and chrome plugin which lets you click on any picture and load it right into pixlr for editing

and audiosauna which can be used to make music. I love the way both of them let you save to your computer.
