Something to liven up a dull Saturday night: wavs of the 25 greatest Simpson's quotes.

Firms Hire Jerks to Improve Customer Service. They're basing it on the same theory of hiring hackers to improve security. Makes sense.

Awww, how sweet: Muslim rebel marries his hostage. And here's the best part of the story, the guy is also known as Commander Robot.

What's with this eBay For Dummies book? Who buys this stuff? People! Bidding on other people's junk does not require a $20 manual.

I spent most of the day taking pictures for my photo class. I never realized the difficulty of shooting 36 good, high quality pictures that I'd want to frame. So I said 'fuck it' and shot 36 pics of my cock. Just kidding, it's 36 shots of my asshole.

I was at an Asian supermarket when I was in Sacramento last week, and the impulse items rack had these Oreo cookie ripoffs called Stereo cookies. I wanted to get some just so I could have the wrapper as a souvenir. I mean, what's cooler than stereo cookies? Quadraphonic cookies?

I like this website about the development of the Resolve system. It's a simple idea, adding handwritten notes to pictures, but it looks so cool.

Shit, I'm at work right now and I keep falling asleep in my chair. It's not a very comfortable chair either. I think I'm gonna leave early today.

Visiting Gore Calls Pennsylvania 'A Hellhole'.

"And what's the big deal with the cheesesteak sandwiches? They taste like shit. I wouldn't feed them to the dogs they're probably made out of."

Did you ever see these people who drive with their headlights on in the daytime, because they think it's safer? You know what would be fun? To smash head-on into a guy like that, just to show him that his idea doesn't work.

On the hotel "How-did-we-do?" form, write, "The maid offered to blow me for some candy," and "The room service waiter thrust his hand down my pants and manipulated my schwanz."

God, I love George Carlin.

After 3 years of college I finally get a cool assignment. For my technical writing class, we have to build something with 20-30 Lego pieces. Then we have to write directions on how to build it without using pictures. That's gonna be so much fun. Lego's are the greatest toy in the world. I had all the cool space sets, including that big monorail. I think my mom gave all my Legos away to one of my loser cousins.

Man, I really wish someone would make an Electronic Fart Detector. Ah, here we go.

How to give librarian scabs a hard time. "Call the Library and ask the most outrageous, hard to answer questions possible.....questions that will take a long time to research." My personal favorites:

-What was the official cause of death for Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols? (Johnny's not dead.....Sid Vicious is. But do YOU think that a library scab would know that?)
-What are the movies in which both Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn appeared?

Weird, it's 3:00 AM and I'm not the least bit tired. I think I'm turning into a mutant. Yep, 4 hours till I need to wake up.

My roommate was so bored today he made bread. He says the bread sucks too. I'll take his word for it.

You gotta love it when stuff like this happens: 19 year old Macaulay Culkin has "temporarily separated" from his wife of 2 years.

Coyote Ugly looks so cheesy that the only thing that can save it is nudity, but it's PG-13! Not even strong language!

Darn, my Opera trial period ran out and now I can't use it. All my blog bookmarks are in there too, goshdarnit, I don't want to copy them out. I think I'm gonna buy it. In the meantime, it's back to stupid Netscape and cruddy IE. (The preceding post was rated PG)

Dan's Data has a review of the Sony Mavica MVC-CD1000, that digital camera that uses cds for storage media. Still seems like a weird idea to me, and that camera's huge for a non-SLR.

Goddamn, I go away for a few days and this happens to my kitchen:

My Opera trial period is about to expire. I'm seriously considering buying it. So far I'm satisfied with it. It supports most plug-ins like flash and quicktime, and the majority of websites look good on it. However, once in a while I come across a website that won't let me in cause it says Opera 4 is a 3.0 browser. Well, fuck 'em, I don't want to see their crummy sites anyway. Opera still crashes when I exit though. I think it might have something to do with the Litestep I'm running.

Hmmm...I should probably go to sleep soon cause I have a photography class tomorrow at 10:00. That's gonna be so cool, I loved photography when I took it in high school. I dunno if I can go back to film after going digital, though.

Alright, I'm back. I'm sure no one missed me. San Francisco was fun, although I didn't have enough time to do everything thing I wanted. I went to the Metreon Thursday night. Microsoft has a store there, which was neat in a megacorporation kinda way. Surprisingly, it wasn't all Microsoft products. I really want a laptop now. I also went to Sacramento to visit my cousins. Sacramento was just hot, that's all I have to say.
