Squirrels Babies Soon, We eat food
Category: food
I was in such a bad mood this morning. I wasn't sure if it was that I tried to look at my sad thesis or because I didn't go sidewalk chalking last night to get new people on the site. It has been so long since I worked on my thesis that at the time we only had like 200MB/day of data being viewed. Now it is over a gigabyte on most days.

We brought the squirrels outside for a little bit with the tortoise. He is so hungry for the hay in the backyard. The squirrels liked it to. When I pulled them out o fthe pouch, the boy squirrel had a boner. It was the weirest looking penis - really long and skinny. Skinny like only a couple millimeters across but like an inch long. I think that babies are soon to follow - I guess it is spring afterall. I cannot imagine how cute the babies will be.

We also went to the coop and bought a lot of vegtables. Elmwood was alive with people. In fact (e:terry) mentioned it was as bumping as a shopping plaza in phoenix.

These organic mini oranges are so flavor packed and only 10 cents each. Something must be wrong with them.

I decided to make mini Buffalo brugers and shrimp. Who would ever think that such diverse animals could taste so right together. Thank you oregano and garlic.

image

I think that the non-bag style natural salad is much crunchier than the bag one. I used to think the bag one was quicker but honestly, you have to wash it and dry it anyways so what the hell is the difference. I am done with the bags.

I still can't believe the house we were gonna buy on Linwood was already bought. They go so damn fast.

WalkieBits at dynamism
Category: toys
I don't know if any of you have ever been to dynamism.com but it's an interesting site. They basically sell Japanese stuff before it makes it to america. Right now they have these cute little robtoic turtles that can walk around you desk and learn sound patterns from you. I love crap like that.

Rainbows
Category: weather
So I said in the comments on (e:leetee,154) that I had soe rainbow pics too. I wish (e:matthew) had his camera because it was really pretty. I just had my cell phone cam, which is only 1.3MP. This view is from main street.

on the way to the symposium
Category: poetry
Argh, I never recovered enough clipboard data so it was back to estrip and porn poems at the last minute.

I am finally recycling the lemonade. Well at least the bottles live in the trunk and not in my cubicle.

Wireless Power Cords
Category: electronics
One of my coworkers sent an email about this wireless extension cord . (e:terry) and I had talked about this being a possible reality for a while. It sounds mega dangerous to me.

image

Here is the description from their site.

Just plug the Wireless Extension Cord (WEC) base unit into a standard wall outlet, and plug whatever you need into the satellite unit. The WEC uses microwaves in the 7.2GHz range, so it won't interfere with wireless networks, Bluetooth components, etc. Now, all you need to do is adjust the antennae on the two units so they are aimed at each other. Turn everything on and you have the power! The distance the WEC units can broadcast differs from situation to situation (due to interference of such things as walls, power lines, and microwave ovens), but we've beamed power over 300 feet! The future is wireless - and the WEC's are your ticket to the future.

Warning: Even though these microwaves are about as harmful as the leakage from an ordinary microwave oven (not much), do not put computers, televisions, other sensitive electrical equipment, food, liquids, paper, glass, flammable substances, magnets, or living things in between the base and satellite units. Just in case.

p.s. -- your usersound starts out like some electrical gadget going haywire.
twisted - 03/31/06 11:33
Oh My God. Great, now I'm afraid of my microwave. I'm gonna starve.
