Let’s watch some jeopardy

You know, Jeopardy is the favorite game show of my father and my grandmother.

Yes, I think Will Ferrill is a better Alex Trebek than Alex Trebek…

Skyfire is out!

Hello, gentles all. If your phone is powered by Symbian or Windows Mobile, then listen up. There is a new browser out there. It's called Skyfire.

Basically it can do anything that the grown-up browsers on your computer can do. You know, like YouTube, Hulu, flash, etc. You can also zoom in and out, and it renders webpages like they appear on a regular computer.  Granted The Anti-Christ hasn’t really fückered up Internet Exploder in windows mobile yet, I’m not taking any chances. Although the Facebook app they put out isn’t really that shabby… I hear they’re also working on a mobile version of Firefox (called Fennec), but everytime I try to install it on my T-Mobile Shadow, it just doesn’t work…

The first paragraph of the post was written in Skyfire. The rest was finished Windows Live Writer…

More spam from Target

After my last post, I got a reply back from Claudia at Target, who basically told me to click the unsubscribe link, and that she had completed it for me, and that I would be getting it for two weeks.  I’m not going to repeat my reply to her, but I’m not impressed with it, to say the least.  When I look closer at it, I am ever further disgusted with Target. Not only did they spam me, but they sold my address to a 3rd party, basically means, that my spam load is going to increase.  Basically, my address is going to get put on the ‘mllions’ cd and sold to other spammers. I’ve been through this before. I’ve been an admin on spam blocklists before. If I still was, Target’s corporate servers would be there right now. Spammers Lie. Target Lies. End of discussion.

Anyway, here’s the latest one:

Boulder Pledge: Target

I thought they were one of the good guys. I was treated rudely at the food avenue a couple of weeks ago, and I sent complaint through the web form. I got the auto-ack from them where they basically they were dev/null’ing my complaint, which isn’t good. And then this showed up in my inbox today:

Needless to say, I’m taking the Boulder Pledge on Target, and I will never shop there again. Period. It’s one thing to be rude to your costumers. It’s another thing to spam them.

One of the definitions of Happiness…

Is a warm, sunny weekend. Too bad I have to go to work. At least SoundTransit still has AC'ed buses…

Under way & wireless….

I knew this day would come.  When my brother and I moved in to our current apartment, it was decided that there would be no more snaking Ethernet cable through the house.  His brand new computer had wi-fi already installed on it, so it wasn’t that difficult to persuade him to get a wireless router.  Originally, the cable modem was in my room on my outlet, but eventually we started having problems with signal (something about two digital boxes and one modem on one outlet…). SO the modem had to go to the other outlet in the living room. And just in time, I finally get my wi-fi card working….

I’ve always said

Give me Guinness or give me death.

My roommate/younger brother had a six pack of Corona in the fridge, and I finally broke down and tried one.  Tasted like crap.  I tried a Fosters @ my nephew’s birthday. Again, tasted like piddle.  The same with O’Douls.  Then I realized they were all lagers. SO I decided to try Guinness, a stout.

Tonight, I tried Guinness for the first time.  To me, all beer tastes the same.  It all tastes like urine.  This is why I don’t drink.  I just don’t like it….

Happy Cinco De Mayo, people

It’s Cinco De Mayo today.  If I understand it, it’s a day when the French Foreign Legion got defeated by by a band of Mexicans. In a war which the Mexicans eventually lost. But I”m no authority on that matter, and if you can read this than you’ve probably have sufficient internet access to look it up yourself. They say that Americans celebrate even more than Mexicans.

But I know how I’m going to celebrate it. I got Guinness…

What a wonderful Sunny Day…

And I have to work. Taken from the 512 park & ride. For some reason the weather is always sunnier on the days that I have to work. Must be a conspiracy on the part of my boss & Jeff Renner...
