Guess what finally came out!!! A 60 GB iPod Photo with color display + video out!!! My big problem is whether to to drive and get it tonight at the Apple Store or order it on-line which saves $30 (educator discount) and gives free engraving…

What is a Web Log?

Posted on October 24, 2004 | 1 comment

What is a web log (‘blog)? Ten years ago it was “What is a web site?”

A web log is a blog (also a ‘blog) it’s an on-line journal, a diary, a captian’s log. The next question is then “Why?” followed by a response of “Why Not? and the conversation goes downhill from there.

It gets grouped in with The Matrix and TiVo:

  • No one can be told what The Matrix is.
  • No one can be told what TiVo is.
  • No one can be told what blogging is.

    I’m not kidding, it took me the longest time to ”get it“ although part of my issue was I can do most of this already (the long way) so it wasn’t clicking. But once you get it….

    Gay Marriage (it’s none of your business)

    Posted on October 24, 2004 | 1 comment

    Who likes people in their business? No one. So why are we messing with this on the ballot? (There is no good answer to this, I’m not really looking for a reply.)

    I thinking I’ve finally resigned myself to this being on the ballot and I’m getting excited about it. It’s opening up all sorts of future possibilities for votes that also impede on people’s civil rights:

  • Stupid people are not allowed to have children.
  • You need a permit to use the drive-thru (to prove you’re able to eat while you drive).
  • A $200 fine for turning / lane changes with out your blinker on for at least three seconds before executing.
  • No charge cards / credit unless you can prove that you actually have the ability to pay them off someday.
  • A fine for every time someone makes up an answer instead of saying “I don’t know”.
  • You must vote (or at least show up to click “abstain”) in every election (elections will be voided with less then 80% participation).

    Paradise Will Wait

    Posted on October 24, 2004 | 1 comment

    This is a the tag line on Carly’s blog:

    What feelings I have for you I cannot say, I have not met you yet, But I am waiting With baited breath And pounding heart, To take your hands in mine And know you.

    I can’t remember how I stumbled upon this blog, but somehow it seems to have more meaning / feeling that I realized she’s a seventeen year-old. You can read her writings at Paradise Will Wait.

    Funny Stuff…

    Posted on October 23, 2004 | Leave a comment

    Found a great site (DontForward.com) with a few humorous lists:

  • How men & women think differently.
  • Things you’d like to say at work (but can’t).
  • If Bush was running against Jesus.
  • Relationship Jokes.
  • The gender of everyday objects.
    At least I thought they were funny.

    Veronica Mars – Alias meets Nancy Drew

    Posted on October 22, 2004 | Leave a comment

    KristenbellSo I’m refining my review of Veronica Mars. The last episode was more of a Alias meets Nancy Drew. In addition to the flashbacks, prom and memorial there were outfit changes, hidden microphones, security systems and computers broken into and data exchanged (or destroyed). Very Cool..
