Computers should be more like real life

Nonsequitur060528So I really liked today's edition of Non Sequitor. It really shows what technology should and could do and how people could relate to it better (sarcasm inserted all over the place).

I just thought this cartoon was hysterical and wanted to share it. You can see this comic every day at the Non Sequitor site. (If the above link breaks you can see the comic by clicking on the image).

Plus she uses my word that I've found all sorts of uses or lately, “bonehead”....

So there was a parade...

Unimemorialday1754-1So it's Memorial Day and Dearborn is having a parade today. Usually I don't even notice until it's over and their walking by my place (it ends at the end of my block). So I wandered on by late this morning.
Unimemorialday1755-1
One of the first things I saw was the Redford Township Unicycle club, they were pretty good, I wish I had gotten some better pictures. It was interesting, lots of people, in lots of heat, I wandered around and notice my around the corner bar was open, they're never open on a holiday, it turns out they were just open for the parade so I got a Coca-Cola, said hello and wandered back outside. Another odd hit was the Downriver Remote Control club, they had cars and they towed a ramp and drove around and jumped the ramp. They seemed to get more daring as they neared the end so there were more jumps and crashes...

I came late so I missed all the military and more memeroial related portions of the parade, it was just all the local groups, I'm not really sure what time it started. Now that's I'm home I realize how hot it really was outside, 88 degrees with 51% humidity and it's suppesed to hit 93! I really don't want to go back out, but I've got some errands to run.

Today I Spent Money...

So with the sales today I bought a few things.

Digtial Picture Frame
I Saw these the other week at Target and said when they go on sale I'm gonna get one. It's medium quality, it might go back the the store, but for $99 I didn't really expect much. What I want to see is how it looks if I scale the photos first...

Frequency
These movies are for my 50 excellent movies item on my 101 in 1001 days list. Frequency is a great and slightly different time travel movie (for everyone, not just geeks). I considered putting this on the list, but when it hit $5.99 (at CC) it was a no brainer.

The Long Kiss Goodnight
Gena Davis as an action heroine.

The Chronicles of Narnia
It's just plain great, I think anyone would like this even if they don't know where Narnia is.

Digital Thermometer
This was on the clearance rack at Target for cheap and it's got the humidity sensor, the outdoor connector (wireless), moon phase and syncs to the atomic clock. All this for only $12.50, I should have got two!

I'll do reviews for the movies when I watch them. It seems like I bought more but I'm not going downstairs to check...
