Millions of Dollars Found Under Floor.

"Australian police said on Friday they found about A$4 million (US$2.1 million) in plastic bags and toolboxes hidden under the floorboards of a suburban home after thieves allegedly used a stolen bank card nearly 7,000 times."
Wow, $2.1 million dollars worth of plastic bags and toolboxes. Who the hell would want that many plastic bags and toolboxes?

Check out this combination video camera, digital camera, and printer in a $1399 package. Apparently the video is pretty good, but the digital pictures and the camera aren't that great.

IRVING: I did it all for the nookie
ME: Did you take the cookie?
ME: And stick it up your yah?
Damn, Limp Bizkit sucks.

Me and Irving saw Red Planet tonight. I thought it was very cool, way better than Mission to Mars. I haven't seen any good sci-fi movies in a while, so this sated my thirst.

I didn't have any classes yesterday and I don't have any classes today. I haven't left my apartment in 2 days now. Man, I feel funny.

Heh heh, what the hell was this guy thinking?

Damn, I've been doing some hacking all day long now. The project for my operating systems class is due tomorrow at midnight. Looks like we'll finish with lots of time to spare though, so don't cry just yet. On a related note, I got a 100 on my program for my compilers class. That's the first 100 I've gotten on a program since freshman year, I think. I'm so proud of myself.

If you have an hour or so to spare, watch Computer Boy, a surprisingly good Matrix parody. The dude who plays Neo is absolutely perfect.

In my astronomy class there's a cute girl who, as it turns out, lives in the same housing complex as me. So today we were coming back from class together - well, not "together", she was a few steps ahead of me and we just happened to be going to the same place - and we both stopped by the mailboxes. I thought, here's the perfect opportunity to talk to her, and we'll fall in love and live happily ever after, right? Come on! If you've been reading this blog you know me better than that. Of course I chickened out as usual.
    I was all set to say something witty like "Hey baby, aren't we in the same astronomy class?" (well, I was still debating the "baby" part). At the last minute I froze and didn't say anything at all, ignoring her instead. Ugh. She left and I left and we went our separate ways.
    I think I was afraid I wouldn't have anything else to say after my suave opening line. It would've been something lame like "What do you think of Uranus?" And then I would've slinked away and she'd think I'm a lame, dull, boring person. Yep, that's the kind of ladies' man I am.

Heh heh, I'd say the owner of this BMW deserved it.

Geez, slow day here at traffic violation central. I don't feel like posting anything about the election either. I feel like I wasted the day cause I took a 2 hour nap this afternoon. Ah well, there's nothing going on in my life anyway.

I just feel like bragging right now: I don't have any classes tomorrow. Tomorrow is also pay day. Woohoo! I just need to meet a cute girl and I'm all set. Awwww yeah.

Daily Radar reviewed Escape from Monkey Island, giving it a "Direct Hit" rating. Well, of course, what else do you expect from a Monkey Island game? Anyway, I have a project due Friday, but you know I'm gonna be at Fry's Friday night.

Here's some interesting reading: Everything you always wanted to know about time travel.

I just got back from Albertson's (the one that was robbed a few weeks ago). I hate driving at night when it's cold. My windows get fogged up and I can't see anything. So I do what I always do when I can't see, I swerve wildly. Luckily my car wasn't damaged.

For a moment, just a brief, tiny, miniscule moment, I thought Time Travel Agency actually offered trips through time. I'm disappointed now.

Goddamn, I get home from class and ants are all over my desk. They were eating my Cheetos. What the fuck? Hey! Stupid ants! There's no sugar in Cheetos.

More cool Lego models: The Mars Rover.

This guy's really dedicated. He built a 6' x 8' mosaic of the Mona Lisa out of Legos. From far away it looks good, but close up it really...um, pixely. He even built a frame for it!

"This is more important than the fight for a Palestine homeland, we're talking 128 bit 3D graphics with a screaming processor for the ultimate video games."
Amen, brother.

Audrey is 3Com's new electronic organizer/web browser/emailer. You're not forced to use an ISP, which is a big plus in my book. This is the kind of gadget that's good for my parents, who don't require a lot of computing power and just want a computer to surf the web and email me. It looks nice comes in lots of cool colors too, which, as we all know, is all that really matters.

Digital cameras are becoming really popular now. Here's a little article called The Art of Digital Photography so you can learn to take better pictures. Well, maybe not "better" pictures, but pictures that suck less.

I'm sure everybody has an annoying friend who sends electronic greeting cards at every opportunity. Well, here's your change to get back at them.
