Oh my freakin' god. Today was such a great work and programming day. First, we had our man shower for (e:enknot). At least that is what my co-worker called it.
(e:enknot) and I hooked up our new fancy user server program to our new programs, (e:jim) presented some fun MVC stuff at our team meeting and I did some crazy ass javascripting with surebert.
Work is just fun recently as we are all kind of vibing off each other.
Getting Old In Fractions
Then when (e:enknot) and I were testing serving users off the user server I was examining the packets and realized that I was 30.6202 years old! That is closer to 31.00 years old. Oh how time flies. It seems like only yesterday I turned 30.00 years old. We should set retirement timers.

Lilho with bandwidth leprosyCategory: peeptalk
(e:lilho)'s beauty melted away when I saw he teeth melting out of her head and her lips falling off. It is so freaky to see your friend breaking up into a million pixels.
it started around her lips getting all droopy and her teeth falling out.
Then she got full blown bandwidth leprosy.

At Mike Visco and Terry Mickelson's BdayCategory: birthdays
I didn't take so many pictures at the party yesterday because I knew (e:jim,40889) and (e:metalpeter,40890) each were taking hundreds. Needless to say, the event proved to be a success. We even managed to give away like 20 of the porn magazines (e:paul,40612)
Even (e:lilho) was able to attend the event via video chat, where she and Nameless Bitch discussed her many Craig's List conquests.
Namless Bitch managed to spill beer all over the house. I am glad she lives somewhere else now, lol.
Thanks Namless Bitch for spilling a 40 into my couch. Next time you can only have a sippy cup like the kids.
(e:mike) got a hicky from this girl.
He also managed to do a live porn magazine reading
We took good ole jim up on the roof to party. Not (e:jim) but Jim Beam. There is nothing like having drunk people 4 stories up on you 2 story roof.
When we were shopping earlier for the party I saw these new 3D gummi candies. I just don't get it. Has anyone even sen a 2D or 1D gummi candy. Now that would be radical.
I saw this kids cartoon that looked like me if I was a cartoon and hadn't shaved my head.
These flowers at Wegmans are a little over the top in the color department.

At one of these parties I need to make it up on the roof, don't think I would want to be up and drinking though. I didn't see the hicky but I did hear about it. If that is who I think she is she was kinda cute (bad wording I know) In terms of you taking pictures I'm not sure who else took them but I know I like to see other peoples views so I'm glad you still took pictures.

The Viking Lobster CompanyCategory: food
For (e:mike) 's birthday dinner last night we went to The Viking Lobster Company which he refers to here (e:mike,40877)
This is what it looks like from the outside
And here is their menu
It was really hard to decide what to eat. Last night The Viking Lobster Company had a lobster bake special which was corn on the cob, clams, mussels and a 1 1/4 lb lobster for $29. My mom, (e:matthew) and I got that. (e:terry) got fish fry, my brother got steak and shrimp and my dad got baked fish.
The food was delicious, including the clam chowder and The Viking Lobster Company clam infused house salad dressing I had on the house salad.
Here is a pic of the special with flash and without. I couldn't decide which one to post because the flash one had richer colors but the lobster was hidden. So you get to see both.
My only complaint was that it was not as piping hot as I would have liked. My fries were kind of cold. Other than that it was totally awesome.
Afterwards, we went to my mothers for dessert and to open gifts.
My mother is obsessed with her lamination machine. Every cake has custom laminations these days.
(e:matthew) even got a gluten free treat
Here is (e:mike) vigorously cutting the cake.

Chinese Toy Recall ContinuesCategory: conspiracy
Okay, I know this put it out at a total conspiracy theory freak level but what if China knew that all those toys contained lead and was trying to retard our youth. I mean how do you not know that 9 million toys were contaminated with lead.
I just saw this latest one today.
I just saw this latest one today.
The recall involves the "Imaginarium" brand 213 Piece Wooden Coloring Case which includes crayons, pastels, colored pencils, fiber pens, paintbrush, pencil, water colors, palette, white paint, ruler and pencil sharpener in a light tan wooden carrying case that measures about 14 inches by 19 inches.

These recalls are a great example of why anyone with a degree in business should also be forced to minor or at least take 3 ethics courses. Yes what is ethical isn't an easy choice sometimes. One could argue that the jobs are good for china when they are making things for Americans. But by doing that then aren't we also saying that is ok for them to get shit pay so we just make things worse over there. Yes some companies like fisher price have this entire process that things are checked and rechecked before they hit the market place. But instead of putting greed and profit before the American people why not just use US workers and goods instead of having people from another country do it. If every company sends there jobs to another country then no one will be able to buy what people are selling cause there won't be any jobs that is one of the reasons our economy is on the way down currently. If you want to speak of conspiracies lets take it up another level "Rich Corporate America" Doesn't care about the poor or at least the middle income so as a way to keep the power they shift those jobs to other countries then if the toys or other things their kids don't use anyways have lead in them who cares cause it will only dumb up the kids at the lower income levels.

Cool. I wish we had more time here to explore some of the frameworks available - it would be really, really useful in our web apps. Sadly, we do not have the resources to do R&D AND do all of the production for the week. Kind of have to sneak it in.
yeah, "man shower" was probably *the* worst term i could have used.
