Convert this!

Our Toyota Prius [search]Prius[/search](WIKIPEDIA - Prius) has been at Fuccillo Toyota (GOOGLE - Fuccillo Toyota) since Tuesday. It needs almost 2000 dollars worth of work - the catalytic converter (WIKIPEDIA - catalytic converter) is failing and that is why it failed the NYS inspection and why the check engine mysteriously came on and off in a seemingly random way.

Vector this!

I tried the second release candidate of vlsoho-5.1 (GOOGLE - Vector Linux). A big thumbs down. I couldn't get my wireless card to work. Vector Linux is Slackware-based (GOOGLE - Slackware) so I thought that if I could get it to work in Slackware I could get it to work in Vector. Wrong!!!

The Blank Generation

Richard Hell (WIKIPEDIA - Richard Hell) and the Voidiods's "Blank Generation" was and is one of my favie albums of all time. Robert Quine (WIKIPEDIA - Robert Quine) is one of my all-time guitar heroes.

There were times when I thought that this song was the story of my life:

I was sayin let me out of here before I was
even born--it's such a gamble when you get a face
It's fascinatin to observe what the mirror does
but when I dine it's for the wall that I set a place

I belong to the blank generation and
I can take it or leave it each time
I belong to the ______ generation but
I can take it or leave it each time

Triangles were fallin at the window as the doctor cursed
He was a cartoon long forsaken by the public eye
The nurse adjusted her garters as I breathed my first
The doctor grabbed my throat and yelled, "God's consolation prize!"

Happy Birthday

Oh, yeah. Today (Jan 5) is Marilyn Manson's (WIKIPEDIA - Marilyn Manson) birthday. Happy Birthday you beautiful person you, you beautiful person you!
