Wow… just noticed I have been blogging since Nov 25, 2005. Funny thinking my first posts were about my xbox 360 and slingbox considering I’m still using both of them constantly.
Anyway- happy blogging anniversary to me! 
Wow… Clash of the choirs. Is this really a thing? Is this because of the writer’s strike? Are TV studios punishing viewers so we side with them over the content creators? I wouldn’t have thought it possible that we’d get to this so fast.
I’m really looking forward to this movie.
OK, it is actually old styles I’m looking at but I really hate that my host doesn’t allow me more control over my blog. Widgets and CSS control are pretty common but with mine it is locked down more than on most hosts. I’d also like to extend the width to get more on the screen but since I don’t have that option I’m trying to find templates with wider page designs.
Nothing great is jumping out at me but it is nice that it takes one click to try out new options.
Every now and again one of them says something that really sums it all up. One friend said the following to me just now that really captured their day in a way that required no futher commentary:
“I thought I knew how to hate before
but I was so wrong
today
today I learned how to hate”
LOL… I called Comcast to change our service since the last promotional period ended and the price jumped. Also, with Sopranos gone and Entourage on a break what’s the point of having HBO other than to watch the same movies over and over?
“Our offices are closed and our hours are from 8AM to 7PM, 7 days per week. Please contact us at your convenience.”
Actually… now was when it is convenient for me. Oh well. You’d think adding / removing a channel or changing a subscription could be automated.
Michael Vick is a disgusting human being. The people who think dog fighting is ok, a cultural thing, and that dogs are property that can be used in any way they want also fall into that camp in my book. This isn’t Rome… we have better entertainment options.
I just saw a news blurb about the beagles that were rescued from his home and were to be used as bait dogs. Bait dogs. I’m sad there is even a term for that.
A good rule of thumb is be kind to puppies.
Everyone is looking for the hot new thing and everyone else is looking over their shoulder to see who’s hot on their heels. I’m going to call this the facebook problem since that is the line that jumped out at me from this article.
Hey- happy 40th birthday to Joon-Soo! Here are links to the pics people have posted:
Ha… I was just watching a Wired Science show with the folks from 20andme and they were discussing privacy considerations. The best line was when the interviewer likened it to Flickr, “you can see my photos and other people can’t…” and then Linda added, “or like LinkedIn.” Even genetics folks want to be web 2.0.
But back to the real topic…
Heck yeah I would have privacy concerns! You can’t even make a phone call without the current administration asking for (and getting) transcripts. How long after they figure out these genetic records are out there before they start flipping through looking for organ matches for the president? You know… just in case. They don’t believe in stem cell research but I am of the opinion that it is only a matter of time till Dick Cheney figures out there is money in black market organs and then anyone he hasn’t seen at his country club (the one that can’t be seen in Google maps for security reasons) will be fair game.
I’m just saying…
