Dampeoples switched his weblog over to WordPress recently and has started posting some really cool pictures to his weblog. He’s got more cool looking stuff in hiw photo gallery.
While I’m on the topic, over at karenika.com, she’s started a nifty project collecting pictures from each state in the US. There are some really cool pictures in there and she’s taking submissions.
Lots of cool stuff to be seen around the country that you just won’t find in travel books and magazines.
Shrek2. Go see it.
Saw Shrek2 tonight during a brief outing with the wife between study sessions. Funny funny movie. I thought it was just as funny as the first movie. Like most animated movies, there are jokes the kids will laugh at, and plenty of jokes for the adults to laugh at too. Definitely worth seeing and adding to the DVD/video collection.
Venus Transiting
Today’s APOD is an amazing picture of Venus at the edge of it’s transit, taken by the Swedish Solar Telescope.
You can also see some cool movies taken by the Dutch Open Telescope.
We’re now a multi-computer family
After getting tired of trying to share computers at work and at home, the wife decided she needed to get a laptop to use for school. We were planning on getting one eventually, but yesterday she decided she needed it now.
So last night, I got onto the Dell website and after some hemming and hawing, bought a Dell 5150. It’s a bit of a hefty laptop, but after she decided she probably wouldn’t be hauling it around with her all over the place, I opted to go for power over weight.
Now we wait and hopefully it will arrive in a week or so.
Looks like I’ll be hanging onto my beater Honda for a little while longer.
Do I stink?
Got a package in the mail yesterday. Wasn’t anything terribly unusual, just one of those promo sized things of deodorant.
What was unusual was who it was addressed to. It was addressed to one of my Hooligan aliases, which as far as I know has never been associated with my snail mail address.
When I first saw the package, I thought “Cool, something from my friends!”. But then when I opened it, I was rather disappointed to find that it was just a promotion for a brand of deodorant.
Perhaps my friends are trying to tell me something. I don’t think I smell that bad, do I?
