Some guy at work initiated conversation with me while I was making tea at the coffee/tea station. One of the hazards of going outside my office. He had obtained an HP multifunction device, and was asking about how to get it to work, since he lost the accompanying software. So I tell him that he can go to hp.com, go to the support section, and look for a driver download. It's pretty simple, I tell him. But I figure I'll go one step further. I take him over to a nearby computer and procee

The cut out frames during the fight between Leon and Deckard have always bothered me. I guess when they were filming it, Leon didn't knock the gun away fast enough, so they decided to cut out "just a couple of frames" to make it look better, as if Leon was really fast, with quick reflexes. It would have taken some work to fix all this with computer graphics, but I think we have the technology now. I'm disappointed that nothing was done.

Sometimes I turn the subtitles on, just to imagine what it'd be like to be watching the movie deaf. He says "I want more life, fucker." but it's subtitled as "I want more life, father." I was a bit surprised, when I saw that. I've always heard it as "fucker" not "father". I played it again. It looks like "fucker", not "father". I think a deaf person would be able to tell. The French subtitle says "salaud" which is more like "fucker" than "father" if I remember correctly from my high sc

"Jamie" is her name. Googled pictures. Google now has images in "extra large". Jamie sure wears some "grown up" clothing sometime. But I guess that's the age to do it, when your skin elasticity has not declined, and gravity has not yet taken its toll. I mean, look at her. She's not all that attractive. Oh, she's got the young, healthy look of a biologically fertile female Homo sapien, but in 10 years, you know she's going to have that second chin growing, and wrinkled baggy eyes, and f

Super Mario Galaxy for Wii. Winter Solstice is not for a little while, but she sent me something in the mail anyway. I had mentioned that I had seen that Super Mario Galaxy appeared to be a hot selling game for the Wii. She was looking to get something for my nephew. I had no intention of getting it, myself. So I guess she felt that it would be a safe choice to get me. Something that I wouldn't have already gotten.

I've ordered it, as well as that other book by that other Naomi. Should come in Wednesday. I probably should have gone to the bookstore and paid cash for it. Don't want to get on the watch list.

I don't know how it is in other countries, but I hear that other countries are different in a lot of ways. I suspect that in some more advanced countries, sick, contagious people tend to stay at home where they cannot infect all of their coworkers. Maybe that's what those Chinese people wear the masks for.

My rats have a little bit of Ice Age water left. I can fill up their bottle a few times, anyway. I just get nervous when it gets that low. I like to have plenty of spare stuff on hand. Within a week or so, I'd have to go to one of the stores that has Ice Age. But just in case I don't feel like going out of my way, I picked up some Crystal Geyser from the deli while I was getting lunch today. It's spring water from some mountain around here. Not as pure as Ice Age, but at least it isn't

I'm not sure why. Could be the government's eavesdropping equipment being overloaded, or something. Usually, youtube videos should play without hiccups, but sometimes it doesn't.

"Sicko" is in it. I've already seen it a few times, but I've got it playing again. It's just there to make noise, while I surf the 'net and do stuff, and stuff.

What you knew: Kindle can access Amazon.com and the Web to search Wikipedia via it's free wireless connection.

Baby announcement email at work. Congratulations. Name, weight, gender, date of birth. "in God we praise, (name typed as signature)." I was a bit shocked at the "In God we praise" part. It's kind of inappropriate. Kind of like "religious harassment". I wonder if I could sue and retire. This is America, after all.

I got some shitty hand-cranked, made-in-China emergency radio with the weather channels from one of my annoying, ignorant, female Homo sapien relatives. Tomb Raider Anniversary for Wii. Jacket from Costco. Duck feather-filled blanket too shot to cover your feet. Did I forget anything? $100.
