What the fuck? I just saw the weirdest HTML error ever: JSP Page threw a non-Exception Throwable. I think I know what it means, and I don't think it's supposed to show up on webpages.

This dude's been traveling around the US, taking pictures of all the Starbuck's he visits. I've been to this Starbuck's too many times (it's just down the street). And with that statement I lost all my punk credibility.

Damnit, some baseball game's on TV tonight, so no Simpsons. They did the same thing yesterday too. I'm missing out on my daily dose of Simpsons. I'm going into Simpsons withdrawl.

Sharky Games has a short little preview of Escape from Monkey Island, although they still managed to split the story over 2 pages.

Now this is a game show I'd watch. Mr. T is punk rock.

Myst III: Arena. "This time, you can forget those damn pages."

My mouse is dying. The rubber on the cord is separated where it connects to the mouse, exposing the insides, and there's some small copper wires poking out around the edges. As a result my mouse sometimes pauses for a few seconds when I move it. I think my next mouse will be Logitech's Mouseman Optical. It's the same shape as my old mouse, except it's optical, blue, and it glows. I need more glowing lights on my desk.

This page is crazy. And I don't mean that in a slang, crazy-meaning-cool way. I mean, literally, there's something wrong with this lady. The page details the procedures for calling this lady, who is looking for a potential mate.

"I have a personal preference for not being interrupted while I'm talking. So please don't step on my words. Although I appreciate the sincere intentions of listeners who are used to interjecting verbal nods such as "uh huh," "hmm hmm," or "OK" when the speaker pauses briefly between statements, please don't do so with me. I'd rather you listen silently so that I can know that you have the best chance of hearing every word that I say. Don't worry, I won't be longwinded.  ;-)"
She reminds me of my 8th and 9th grade English teacher, who was also kind of weird and neurotic and controlling like this.

This sucks, I have to leave 20 minutes early for my stupid overcrowded compilers class just so I can sit in the front cause the professor speaks really softly. Arrrrghh.

I want the Nomad Jukebox for Chanukah. 6 gigs of mp3s! That's storage, baby.

The ThumbDrive looks very cool. It's a solid-state memory device about the size of your thumb, and it plugs directly into a USB port. The only problem is it's really expensive ($129 for 32 mb!)

Hey hey! Public sex at a dot-com party! You gotta love stuff like this.

Damn, I'm falling asleep at my desk at work here. This stupid chair's so uncomfortable.

Digital Photography Review takes a look at the Canon PowerShot G1, which is supposed to compete with Nikon's Coolpix 990. The G1 has manual capabilities and can use an external flash and different lenses.

Well, I'm back from the show. I'm so glad I didn't miss it. I got to experience an excellent performance by Front 242, and I also discovered another great band, Cassandra Complex, who opened for 242. The other two opening bands, Full Frequency and the other one never said who they are, were ok, nothing great. Cassandra Complex, however, rocked. The singer was pretty funny too. Front 242 have totally gone techno/rave now, and surprisingly I like it. I think they got rid of my cold for me.

Eh, what a shitty weekend. I think I was sick or something cause I had a headache and a runny nose. So I didn't do much of anything, just watched TV and slept. I'm feeling better today though. Tonight's the Front 242 show, so I'm gonna pick up a ticket after work. That's gonna be cool, unlike my usual Monday nights.
