For no apparent reason

I’m posting this for no reason. Other than the fact that The Lumberjack Song is my ringtone…

Fall is here

I can tell because the heat in my bedroom just kicked on.

During the spring of this year, the apartment people did some major electrical work (mainly switching from all utilities included to you’re paying your own electrical bill), which included new heaters in all the apartments. I don’t neccassarily care for all the ugly visible wiring that they did (that kind of stuff should be in the wall, but I think they don’t want to do that kind of work while it’s still occupied). They upshot is each room in the apartment now has a heater, thermostat (even the bathroom), and a smoke detector.

Ok, so the Seahawks lost today

The season's still young. But at least they lost by a lesser margin than what the Raiders lost today.

After the Vikings' victory today, the NFL has now added Geritol, bran muffins and prune juice to the list of banned performance enhancing substances. Though I think it's amazing to see Brett Favre out there taking snaps & throwing the ball. While still holding on to his walker. I don't think he'll ever retire until he becomes elgible for Social Security. Wait a minute: he's already eligible now...

The most dangerous animal in Washington State is not the Cougar. At least not after the beat-down they got from USC...

Avast ye scurvy dogs!

Shiver yer timbers, buckle yer swash! It be another International Talk Like A Pirate Day. So go get yer pirate name here. I be:

My pirate name is:

Dread Pirate Flint

Like the famous Dread Pirate Roberts, you have a keen head for how to make a profit. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!

And Lo!

The Noodly Appendage did reach forth, and The Flying Spaghetti Monster did call home Patrick Swayze. And he is now enjoying The Beer Volcano and Stripper Factory. Ramen.

So tonight, go watch Dirty Dancing, Ghost, and Dances w/ Wolves. He also had a starring role in Red Dawn, a film noted for being the first rated PG-13...

Fun with Bluetooth…

Just had a crash course about Bluetooth. The Anti-Christ has a Bluetooth stack built into Windows XP. Which my BlackBerry software will pick up and I can sync my phone with my computer wirelessly. Slight drawback, though. The MS Bruetooth stack does support audio. The Widcomm stack (that actually comes with my Bluetooth dongle’s driver does).  In fact, it supports stereo Bluetooth, so I can use my stereo headphones when I don’t want to trip over a cord, or continue listening to WMP while a take a leak. The drawback, however is that the CrackBerry desktop software won’t pick up your BlackBerry’s Bluetooth connection. A choice has to be made….

And ultimately, I choose to go with the Widcomm stack. While it seems nifty to be able to sync up my BlackBerry wirelessly, I’m inevitably am going to be sitting at my computer when I do it (I’ll still have to manually open the software on my computer anyway), and so I’ll just plug in the USB cable. And enjoy the wireless headphones, which can be paired with both my computer and my phone…

See That?

See those two metal zig-zag thingys? That's the spring that broke on my shadow. I finally broke down and dismantled my shadow, and I've come to the conclusion that it's beyond repair. It's a good thing my BlackBerry works....

Do not panic, citizen!

Ok, there's really nothing to see here. I'm just trying out the Bolt Browser for BlackBerry. It features YouTube support, though I haven't been able to get it to work yet. Under the hood, it supposedly uses the WebKit engine (what Safari and Chrome use). I just want to see SkyFire for BlackBerry... At least I can now tag my posts from my phone.

Finally

I can now watch a live football game.  Thanks to the NFL Network running every preseason game, I’ve been able to catch some games late @ night when I got home from work.  But tonight I can watch them live. First off will be the Jets and the Eagles. I saw Micheal Vick’s last time on the playing field, and all I can say is that I’m not impressed.  Much has been said about his off the field antics and how he has supposedly atoned for them, but I don’t see the results on the field either.

And then later on tonight, I can see the Seahawks wipe the field with the Raiders. My boss is a Raiders fan, and I’m not. Needless to say the trash-talking has already started…
