I was about to leave for work today when my boss called and told me not to come in today. He said something about our internet connection being down, and he didn't know when it'll be repaired. So I said "ok" and hung up, smiling cause I don't have to work on the Friday before the long weekend.

But the thing is, he doesn't speak English very well, so now I'm wondering if this is his way of telling me I'm fired. Hmmm...

Well, the ohGr show was incredible. They put one hell of a show. Ogre came on stage wearing a weird mask and carrying a "head" mounted on a stick. Cevin was sitting in the back behind a massive drum kit. I don't have the album yet so I didn't know the names of the songs, but they rocked. Cevin's drumming was as good as it ever was. At one point Ogre picked up the head on a stick again. He pressed a hidden button and the head split open, revealing another demonic head with glowing eyes behind it. Then he held it up to his face and started singing through it. It was so cool. Anyway, it was a great show. And I just heard that they're playing in Anaheim on July 1st, so I have another chance to see them.

Remember that math midterm I mentioned last week? I managed to barely get a C+. I guess studying does help. But this means I have to study for the final now, cause there's a possibility that I can still pass.

Alright, I got my ticket for ohGr tonight and I'm ready to go. I can't wait. I talked Irving into going with me, so I don't look like a loser standing by myself. Oh yeah, Hocico, the original opening band, couldn't get into the country or something like that, so Hate Dept. is opening instead. They're ok, I guess, but they're a little formulaic. Anyway, I'm going to see ohGr, not Hate Dept, so it's not a big deal. Oh yeah, I almost forgot today's my birthday. Heh heh, the show's my present to myself.

An interplanetary Internet is in the works that will connect planets, satellites, asteroids, and spacecraft. They have to worry about such things as routes between planets changing due to the orbits of the planets. Sending data back and forth will be laggy too, cause even at the speed of light it takes 6 minutes to reach mars.

I bet it really sucks to live in this house. Probably easy to vacuum though.

Here's a review of the Kodak DCS 760, a massive 6 megapixel digital camera. It weighs 4.1 lbs and costs $7000, but damn, check out those sample pictures.

The Lord of the Rings isn't even out in theaters yet and they're already working on a boxed set DVD version. Apparently, the theatrical version has tamer fight scenes to achieve a PG rating. I say just skip the PG and go directly to an unrated version.

DVD File reviewed Requiem for a Dream, which was released earlier this week. The DVD has a commentary by Darren Aronofsky, deleted scenes, and a Making Of feature. Personally, I think this is a movie worth owning on DVD. Avoid the R-rated version though, as some scenes were cut out and it doesn't have the extras on the unrated version.

Heh heh. Convict Jumps Wall - Into Another Prison. Maybe he got tired of the anal rape and jumped into the women's prison on purpose.

The Pogo is a very cool-looking device. It's a PDA, phone, mp3 player, and it also has wireless internet access. I just hope the internet access is cheap.

A financial executive was forced to resign after sending a boastful email to friends about his sexual conquests and lavish lifestyle. Check out part of it:

I've got a spanking brand new 2000 sq. foot 3 bedroom apt. with a 200 sq. foot terrace running the entire length of my apartment with a view overlooking Korea's main river and nightline......Why do I need 3 bedrooms? Good question,.... the main bedroom is for my queen sizebed,...where CHUNG is going to fuck every hot chick in Korea over the next 2 years (5 down, 1,000,000,000 left to go).... the second bedroom is for my harem of chickies, and the third bedroom is for all of you fuckers when you come out to visit my ass in Korea.

IBM Hikes Disk Drive Size
Whoa, 400 GB hard drives. Think of all the porn-uh, I mean, mp3s I could store. Of course, by the time they come out a Windows installation will take up 100 GB.

When you give someone the finger, do you ever stop and wonder about the origin of that gesture? No, me neither. Anyway, wonder no more, cause here's the origin of the finger. Just think, you're using a couple thousand years of culture when you flip off people.

I don't know what I would think if I saw a flatulence filter on someone's chair. On one hand, he's considerate enough to use a filter to absorb the odor. On the other hand, he must have a real serious flatulence problem if he needs a filter.

I'm not sure whether I should look forward to living alone or dread it. After graduation I'm gonna be on my own for the first time. This is a good article about the subject. Hmmm....I'm getting sort of depressed thinking about it now.

This weekend was really tiring. Up at 7:00 yesterday and spent all day paintballing. Up at 9:00 today and spent most of the day in the computer lab. Stupid me, hoping for some free time this weekend after studying all last week for that stupid math midterm. I'm all worn out now. Thank god next week's a 3 day weekend.
