Playing at some attempts to make a splash image for Blobber. Took the Blobber part of this image, cleaned it up a bit and applied a Cubist filter with Gimp.

Stanley’s visit to the hospital
Stanley came with me to work today so I showed him around the department.

He got to meet my other stuffed office mates, Pinky, Brain and Dogbert. They spent some time plotting their next scheme to rule the world.

Then it was off on a tour of the department.
Dear DHL Delivery Guy
Apparently you tried to deliver the stuff I ordered from ThinkGeek Friday, Monday and Tuesday, but I had to contact DHL Customer Service to find out that you even tried to deliver it. When you try to deliver something to me and nobody’s home, could you at least leave something that tells me you came by.

Auto milestones
I reached a couple of significant (to me anyway) auto-related milestones today.
- Paid off the car. Woot!
- Reached 90 000 miles.
For an 8 year old car, 90 000 miles isn’t all that much. Car’s still running pretty well. Doesn’t get driven nearly as much as it used to when we first got it. Probably due for some more maintenance soon, and I think a hole is developing somewhere in the exhaust system. I’m pretty sure the brakes will need something done to them shortly as well. Needs a good cleaning too.
