Accident my ass one of your local 210 guys decided they wanted to scare this guy a bet, oh yeah never point the gun towards your self no mater what, I don't even work or roofs, that is also why I don't. Hey it least it was a nail gun and not a rivet gun. I guess that it more common then you would think.
tinypliny - 05/12/08 22:46
It that under the forehead skin? Or is it through the skull into the brain?? How do you manage that?
jenks - 05/12/08 22:26
even more amazing was seeing the guy, just sitting there talking, like everything was fine. nail-gun accident, apparently.
mrmike - 05/12/08 21:27
That's having a Monday
hodown - 05/12/08 20:53

james - 05/12/08 20:35

even better than birthday flowers...
... is birthday laptop.
Oooh I am such a spoiled brat.
But this thing is awesome. The multi-touch trackpad is way cool.

And i saw a 1TB drive at Best Buy yesterday for $219, marked down from $350. I think I should go back and get it.

Well if he needed to run something that can only be run on Windows platform, such as Access which isn't offered with MS Office for Mac, then you can't fault him for it.
imk2 - 05/11/08 23:11
you can put windows onto a mac? i didnt even know that was possible.
paul - 05/11/08 16:26
Cute computer. Can you believe the dept at work bought one and I was told the person who has it put windows on it, blah.
mrmike - 05/11/08 11:50
Very cool
jenks - 05/11/08 10:17
well you can never have too much HD space, esp when it's really cheap.
but it's for backup, now that i'm paranoid.
metalpeter - 05/11/08 10:11
That is a lot of memory, you could store all your CD, DVDs and I assume every picture you have ever taken and maybe even a few websites on there, I assume. Is the drive to be added into the lap top or is it an external drive. I don't know anything about lap tops so I don't know how good of one that is but it looks pretty nice.
tinypliny - 05/11/08 10:08
wow. Are you a digital packratter? Why in the world does someone need a 1TB drive if they are not running a network/IRC server? ;)

awww, for me?
My mom's the best:

And on a totally unrelated note-
This looks cool. Right up Paul's alley, perhaps-



mike - 05/11/08 20:53

Good show!!

So...
I saw The Police at HSBC last night. (as my dad said, better than seeing them at the station. ha-ha-ha). They were awesome.
It was a great birthday present in and of itself- but then on top of it, we were in a suite, and even a GIANT limo. And started with dinner at Papaya.
Unfortunately I was on call and had to work in the AM, so that put a damper on the drinking, but still.

The Police were my first "favorite band". I think I was in 4th grade when I heard Message In a Bottle, and I went out and bought Synchronicity (on tape). The went back and got a couple of their earlier albums. So I got in on it at the tail end (they disbanded in 84), but you can't really blame me, since I was 8.

So this tour is a pretty big deal. They went on tour in '07, as a 30th anniversary reunion thing. They hadn't played together in 24 years. They said last night the last time they played Buffalo was 1978. (though someone said that's wrong, they were here in 84. I dunno.)

But in any case, I think it's fair to say they're a pretty influential band in music history. I think I would equate seeing this concert with seeing maybe the Stones (except it's actually easier to see the Stones since they still play sometimes).

So I was just surprised when I mentioned at work, and no one seemed even vaguely interested. Who knows... maybe they're too old? But really... who doesn't still start singing "Roxanne" every time it comes on at a bar?!

But, who cares what they think. It was a great show. They only played a couple songs I didn't know. Sting still has a great voice, and Stewart Copeland, the drummer, is amazing.

So... happy birthday to me. It was great. :)

  • just to clarify- the limo was not on my behalf. The guy whose suite it is apparently gets limos often- whenever there's a big group and drinking is involved. I (and about 15 other people) just happened to luck out.

Unfortunately it was tough to get decent pix on my phone, but...

Police are way cooler than the stones.

Happy Birthday.
mrmike - 05/04/08 13:39
Happy Birthday, it was a great show. Whoever your police source was was correct. They were here in 84, right at the end.

Both Police and Elvis were in great form last night
james - 05/04/08 13:29
Happy Birthday!
metalpeter - 05/04/08 13:05
Happy Birthday. I saw a limo about that size on firday night and thought must be nice to be able to do that and you or someone can. Hey why no inside the limo pictures? Hope you had a great time.
