Who's going to win

Pirates or Ninjas.  Of course, being a devout Pastafarian, I have to go for the Pirates.  After all, they are The Chosen People of The Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Moving.....

I will be moving soon.  I've already been to my new apartment, and I have the keys.  If all goes well, I will sign the lease and move in next week.  My access to the Internet shouldn't be that interrupted (I've got the cable guy coming in on Saturday to set up service at my new apartment, and I've made the arrangements to have the computer there.  This is something I don't want to do (moving is such a pain in the ass), but I have to.  On the bright side, the bus line I'll be one is so much better (chief at $day-job will be so much happier that I can stay later without having to make arrangements ahead of time). 

So long, Puyallup.

Found

Today while cleaning my room, I noticed an anti-static bag underneath one of my speaker shelves.  It turns out to be my old 56k modem that I thought I threw out.  I've upgraded to broadband (and I connect through an Ethernet card, so I can use a router firewall), and I eventually took out the modem, as it had come loose and was causing installation issues.  I'm still going to keep it, as it does have HPNA, and it may come in handy later on (more importantly, I have the drivers for it).

My new apartment

This may not look much, but it will be my new home in a short while. Oh, did I mention that I'm moving?

 

EDIT: Yes, I know it's blurry, but what do you expect from a cell phone camera?

2 out of 3

The Mariners just beat the Angels to take 2 out of three for the series.  Welcome to the pennant race, Mariners.  You're only three games out of first place, and only one game out of the wild card.  The New World Order (Mind-Control Division) can be interesting if the team you're rooting for is a contender.  And we're not the Yankees, to beat (note to Mr. Steinbrenner, you can't just buy another World Series ring with team payroll.  You actually need to be less than 7 games behind the Bosox).

This is what happens

When a windows user gets a tattoo.  I wonder if The Anti-Christ has taken notice, yet.

Let's have one last colortini

Tom Snyder has passed away.  A sad day for all of TV-dom.

If you thought just one sun is hot enough

Then check out this one from APOD.  4 suns.  Get your sunblock ready.

A Hilton with Balls. Finally.

Paris's Grandpa has finally cut her off.  Instead of funding drunk driving convictions, 23 day jail stays, and sex tapes, Conrad Hilton's $2.4 billion will got to charity.  It's his money, let him give it away.  As for Paris, now is good time to start looking for a job, and join the rest of us who work for a living.

EDIT:  Apparently, he's cutting her off after all.

Just something interesting.....

This is a slow-mo of a tank round being fired:

 

This appears to be some sort of fin-stabilized round (most likely since most, if not all, tank guns in US inventory are smoothbore).  I want to say that it's a sabot round, but I don't see the sabots being discarded.  Perhaps any of you readers out there (maybe someone who shoots these for a living) has a better idea about what this is....

It's not supposed to...

Rain like a cow pissing on a rock in July. But, this is Washington, and we all have gills here.

EDIT:  I have now changed the settings on my cell-phone, camera.  My next picture won't be that small.

Nothing to see here.

But the Noodly Master. Ramen. Resized for my cell phone (and btw, I also use this form my desktop on my main computer).  Actually I just set up my mobile phone so I could post directly from it.

And the current GOP pick for President is:

None Of The Above?  All I'm going to say is one should vote his/her conscience.  If that means none of the current candidates fit, then don't vote for them.  I, for one, have voted for JP Patches and Gertrude for office in the past.

And he deserves every penny

Ichiro just got a 5-year, $90 million contract extension. I seen his performance in The New World Order (Mind-Control Division). I think the Mariners are still getting a bargain on this.

Today's Lesson is:

Always turn on the light in the laundry room before you start the washer.  Unless, of course, you're the type who likes to put a capful of fabric softener in his wash when you were going for the detergent.  At least they'll smell clean.......

This has been stuck in my head lately...

I don't know if they rock as much as Weezer does (at least according to Igwanarob's opinion in a recent post), but I can't get this song out of my head.  I do like the video, though.

A note to those who supervise

If you're a boss/supervisor/overlord, and your employees have access to really large and powerful shredders, then at least make sure you get out of your car before you piss your employees off.  For example:

I can now close my tower up again.....

I finally broke down and bought a case fan today.  When I upgraded my video card (which necessitated a new power supply), I was plagued with system bug-checks (you know, when Windows XP just restarts on you), as I have posted here.  With a new fan in place, I can now close the side of the tower, and use my night stand fan to cool myself.  We'll see how it goes....

It's the Fourth of July......

Have a happy National Get Drunk And Blow Yourself Up Day.  Only in America, can you celebrate freedom, independence, and liberty by burning your house down and blowing yourself up.  I for one will be leaving it to the professionals, and will be watching it on TV.  Well, if you're going to play with fire, just remember this:  If you still have all your fingers left when all is said and done, then you didn't do it right....

Where have the posts gone?

If you're looking for a particular post here and it just up and disappeared, it's probably because I just deleted it.  Not that I wanted to, but the links in them were stale, and it would be pointless to have a link go nowhere.......
