well, they finally won
one. of course, the bad news is that pedro
was put on the 15 day dl two days before he was supposed to start
against the white sox, who have been kicking
ass this year. sigh.
rocker arrived at shea via police escort without incident. oh
well. and then he apologized:
"Unfortunately,
many members of the media have overestimated my significance."
unfortunately, the braves we able to beat
the mets 6-4.
cardhouse
never ceases to amuse me.
more klingon stuff: top 12 things
likely to be said by a klingon programmer. [via fark]
#4. "A TRUE Klingon Warrior does not comment his code!"
#2. "You question the worthiness of my code? I should kill you
where you stand!"
geeky news: the world's
fastest computer.
rumor-mongering made easy with the internet conspiracy
generator.
"It is rumored that Julia Roberts was seen in Boulder,
Colorado just before the explosion while receiving a case of handwriting
samples implicating involvement in a sinister scheme designed to win the
browser wars."
"The chances of this conspiracy being try are 96 percent."

oh yeah- if you ever see a typo in the text or something, please
let me know. i always try to proof but sometimes i miss stuff. it's a peeve.
yesterday, hideous was spelled hiderous for most of the day. ooops.
oh yeah #2- the mach
5 went for $150,099.
|
6.29.2000
not only did someone pay $4 million for it. . . the final selling
price was $7.4 million. geesh.
rocker turns out to be a wuss after
all. (i refuse to entertain the notion that he may be smart or have some
common sense.) but look at all the trouble he is causing for shea stadium:
10 times the normal number of cops will be on hand, and they reinforced
the dugout roof. wow. should've just let him ride the train.
sotheby's is auctioning off
the original declaration of independence on-line. bidding opened at $4
million. actually it's not the original. it's from the first printing and
there are only 25 in existence. it doesn't even have the signatures! who
would pay $4 million for that?!? [thanks to dan
for the extra info.]
i refuse to admit i am a red
sox fan. they have been all stinky lately. they lost
5 in a row. sigh.
mmmmmmmmm. i am drowning in a sea of melissa ferrick today.

um, riiiight. [via metafilter]
enter to win free
beer for a year! how can you pass that up?? apparently quite easily.
they don't deliver to massachusetts. oops. [thanks to seann for
pointing that out.]
these people have way too much free time: the klingon language institute.
definitely too much free time. taH pagh taHbe'! (if you can
translate that, i am really scared. go outside and play you scary people!)
more star trek geekiness. i think it's supposed to be a starfleet training center.
i just love the name of this site: shakesbeer.
another excellent name: the hideous jabbering head of
abraham lincoln. oh go on and click. you know you can't resist. . .
and of course, there were no refs from japan or diggit in the log
yesterday. if you check today, lookit the last entry from yesterday. please?
for me?

about it.]

this would be cooler if you could actual simulate spinning the gears and all
instead of just having the computer make it for you.
so there are these 2 things that keep popping up in my referrer
logs. one is from japan. the other is bulldozer software. [i am guessing that
this person is a gweep and i am just a dumbass and don't know that this is
their job.] i admit. i am curious. who are you? how did you find my site? be
nice people and let me know. cause it's shaking my reality. and that already
happened yesterday.

my reality has been shattered. "that's not a name! it's a verb!"
turns out it's not
even his name. i think i am going to cry. . . [the first one to say,
"oh, we knew that" gets kicked in the shins.]
hey dana! we need to be able to do this
with as the .plan turns: make
it an interactive

running man? geesh- some people will believe anything!"

bad and stupid.]

this is it. proof that he
really is crazy. my favorite bit:
"I'm not scared, I'm not intimidated in the least," he said.
"Come on, what are they going to do to me but boo me? I hope they do."
the 7 train in nyc? yes. booing is definately the worst they
could do. something tells me he is unclear on the concept. . .
remember the site where you could get biblical action figures?
which led to a ticket to hell?
well, in the true spirit of the internet, someone's taken it a step further.
i cannot explain. just watch. it's absolutely wonderful.

here's the eminenya mp3 again for
your listening pleasure.
there was something else in last night's b discussion that i said
i'd post. anyone remember what it was? cause i sure don't. cause b is for

oooh. finding this was a bad idea. major time suck. but it is the
coolest game ever. and hardest. the on-line java based original text version
of the hitchhiker's
guide to the galaxy. (here's another site that
hosts it in case you have troubles or something.) only downfall is you can't
save so you have to restart every time. but looks like they are developing a
shareware version.
i also have hint sites if you are interested, but use them as a
last resort.
the hitchhiker's guide becomes a reality. too hip.
mulder meets shaft. the .wav
file and the video.
as a side note, i hate real audio cause it always seems to mess up my
computer. so if you can find the video clip in another format, i would be a
very happy dawn.

i hate microsoft. how can you have help topics that tell you to
click on tabs that don't exist? help says "On the Tools menu, click
Options, and then click the Internet E-mail tab." ah.
progress. so tools. . . options. . . and the tabs choices are: Preferences,
Mail Services, Mail Format, Spelling, Security, Other, Delegates. no sign of
Internet E-mail tab. excuse me while i go and bang my head against the wall.
