Here’s Dubya in 2000.

lots-a-lies!!

Yeah Google!

First I got a good buzz on for reasons that shall become apparent (uht-oh), and so, I was browsing the web and reading and stuff and hey, oh yeah! Google has a new browser!

So I went to the site and downloaded-installed-ran it and ……..

I love it! Google never stops do they? It’s clean, quick, not at all bloated with gizmos you don’t need. It installed in seconds and when I opened it all my links and faves were there, just how I like them, al Dino.

Great Job Google! Thanks! Need another good noodle? Read on… 

On that aforementioned “uht oh” note…

I was told that I’m laid off from my job as of Friday Sept. 5th!

Right after Labor Day! “Thanks now get the hell out! “

So, if there are any openings out there for a multi-talented creative technician , take the jump, read the facts and contact me! 

…….insert Gloria Gainer I Will Survive… here please. You go girl!

Due to hurricane Gustav, and, an opportunity to do a little humanitarian style campaigning, Mr. M has postponed the RNC until the storm has passed.

More next week….

… did he say Michael Palin was his running mate?

The Democratic National Convention. What’s that all about?

Could we just cut to the chase, tell Bush to go back to Texas and shoot skeet or whatever, and Get Obama in office NOW? …no?!

Poopstain!

OK. Let’s have this convention so the Dems can do all the posturing and partying and schmoozing and drinking and screwing… oh and some real politics I guess, and nominate Obama and Biden. We all know it’s gonna happen right? But, just like high school student council, it’s just a popularity contest. Right now, Obama is holding court in a sense. His people are rallying around him, because they believe. It’s all about faith. Then they’ll say “we choose you! Lead us and we’ll follow”.

So much for the separation of church and state. Can’t and won’t ever happen. Political beliefs and religious beliefs both bring out the mob consciousness and it’s all based on faith.

So be sure to stay tuned and watch the convention live in HD streaming video . The colors are very similar to the Olympics with lots of soothing blue lights and lots of projected imagery. It’s all designed to make you believe!

Yes, we can… but how Mr. Obama?

I have rediscovered the joys of cat napping.

I woke up early today, got some chores out of the way. It was about 10:15 am when I saw my cat Seamus snoozing on the floor… not a care in the world. He looked up at me as I picked him up, wondering why he had been disturbed. He was comfy again soon enough as I put him down on my bed and laid down with him for a cat nap.

There is an art to cat napping. One must find just the right time of day, preferrably an hour or so after eating. Then there’s the positioning of the body… sprawled out is ideal. Light coming into the eyes is no good so we have to cover them up with a hand or paw or part of the blanket. A little breeze is nice so open a window and let it in.

Having contact with your cat friend is also key. Feeling the soft fur and purring lulls you into blissful tranquility and before you know it, you’re snoozing, not fully sleeping, just napping.

We got in a good three hour nap and I feel great.

Thanks Seamus, for reminding me that there is always time for rest.

What the hell!

Why the hell is it America’s job to tell the rest of the world what they have to do all the time?
What the shit are we thinking here? We may have good intentions but just look at this objectively for a MINUTE.
Do WE like it when the rest of the world tells US what to do? HELL NO!
So how do we get to be the world security patrol and IMPOSE our values and beliefs on everybody like we’re the rightious ones?

madness…

Not much happening on the new job front. Budget cutbacks.

I’m just glad to have a job at this point.

I sold my Scion xA and bought a 2008 Honda Element.

I love it!

Hi there…

I’m still learning Visual Studio and watching all the tutorials I can. I have to download DirectX SDK so I can compile my programs properly.

I’ve been reading up on Op-Amps  and brushing up my math a bit because it looks like I may be working part time at UH Institute for Astronomy very soon! I was offered part time employment last Thursday and was told they would let me know what they could work out!

They said “we really need an electronics guy in here…”  twice I think so,

YEAH!

Absorbing knowledge … mmmmmm yummynessssss

Bush signs a bill that gives telecoms immunity. Great… I feel so safe now. All you guys have to do is make a phone call and you’ve got a wiretap, and all those fourth amendment rights are null.

*sigh*

Living in Haiku Hawaii on July 4th is noisy!!
They love their fireworks here and last night they went on until 1 am! New Years is even worse! Oh well, humans like explosions I guess.

I’m still learning Visual Basic and haven’t really started to write code for Audio Fingers just yet. I’m working through a few tutorials first. Microsoft did a nice job of providing tutorial videos for Visual Studio Express and they really do get you into the thick of it quickly. Each one builds on the previous one so learning is easy.
