Early Entry

Usually I post right around 11:00 PM EST. The kid is in bed and I can poke around a bunch of links on the G4 downstairs. It won’t work tonight I have a project with a early Thursday deadline so I’ll be down stairs drawing, scanning and writing extremely witty copy.

I was planning on not posting at all (I’m trying to cut back, don’t want to monopolize the blog side of the page) but someone sent me an e-mail last night asking me to please post daily for the next month or so. No problem I say. If someone enjoys my stuff to take time to request a posting then I am happy to oblige. On the other hand, what if there are people out there hoping I lose my hands in a horrible fly fishing accident and never post again? Well it’s only fair to give them an oppurtunity to voice their displeasure at my new plan. Send your thoughts here. Let me add one caveat: Unless the mail demandng I shut the eff up comes from publisher@mymac.com it’s gonna take about ten of them before I actually stop posting.

Stretching a segue: I gabbed about the G4 earlier, and I’ve decided it’s time for an upgrade, I’m thinking the 1.8 dual proc G5, or I would be if only Apple and IBM could get some working chips out the door. See working chips mean speed bumped models, speed bumped models mean the old models get discontinued, discontinued models means discounts.. I guess that’s the Mac version of what Yoda said.

I bought a new combo scanner/printer/copier today. I think it’s a

Hewlett Packard 1350
Nope, I didn’t do research, didn’t hit anyone up to review one first (I can’t ever get a printer to review anyway.) I just bought it. I was really after the scanning capabilities since my old scanner won’t work with OSX. It’s legal sized so no one is writing new drivers, if you want it let me know.) It’s for the project I’m rushing through like mad. I had intended to just buy a scanner but that was close to the same price and the printer has every conceivable slot to read memory cards. Which is nice cause my card reader crapped out.

Anyway I’ll use the thing for awhile and let you know how it works. hey, that reminds me, I also have an old 812c I need to unload, maybe Todd will want that. Low low todd price: 10 US dollars.

Tomorrow I’m going to start putiing the links first and the useless stuff I have to say second.

Fun thing to do: Hold your pointer fingers straight up. Got it? good. Now point them straight away from you about chest high. With me so far? Excellent. Finally: fully extend your arms while saying “get the hell off my porch” There, now you know why Jehovah’s Witnesses have inverted nipples. Joke stolen from…well let’s just say I didn’t make it up. You know who you are.

Hey, you ever feel like doing a guy a favor? No? well nevermind then. See if you did I’d ask you to go rate the Olympic smoking vid on this page(click on the little rate-o-meter, plus side good, minus side bad. Be honest)

Excellent flash animation: Heroes

Now for the tridiot rating. See the problem here is that the UNIVAC 1 isn’t even warmed up. So I’m going to borrow a math trick from Kenny “RoosterKisser” Roach and use Cauchy-euler to come up with a iffy:
