I have been assimilated. I now have a Myspace page. Since everyone makes their profiles private, I can’t be nosy and find out everything about them. However, I should probably get to know them better without the use of Myspace, but I like to be secretive in my information collection. So do I get a coming out party? Will there be cake?

I have finally gotten a good camera. It is a Nikon D40. Who wants a photo shoot???

I want to go to the beach! I am thinking maybe on Thursday or Friday since I have some work to do this weekend. Does anyone want to go with me?? Is anyone even going to read this before that time? Probably not…

I am sitting here in the Lakeland Square Mall eating my lunch. I had my laptop open to make some changes to my trip to California. I was thinking to myself someone is going to ask me about wireless in here. Sure enough, only after a few minutes of having my laptop open, someone walks by and asks if there was wireless in here. I honestly don’t know, as I don’t have my wireless card on. I am on my Sprint card (which is proving a better choice than Verizon cards, which seem to block Exchange servers).

Yes, I am going to California. I was going to fly to San Diego and drive to San Fran, then fly out, but now I just flying straight to San Fran, as it is hard to find one way rental cars.

I just read this on the bottom of Slashdot:

“…[Linux’s] capacity to talk via any medium except smoke signals.” (By Dr. Greg Wettstein, Roger Maris Cancer Center)

My first thought was, “Do you want it to?”

That is such a stupid phrase. It is not a knot until it is tied. Anyway, this is what Bobby has done. He is officially married. Tied down. Locked in. Forever and ever. I was the best man. I tried to be anyway. I hated doing the speech. Standing up front of so many people and trying to say something isn’t easy for me. I screwed up my speech and forgot to say a few things, oh well. Otherwise, it was fun. I also saw Hot Fuzz that night, which was pretty good.

The video is officially online. I have found a way to play the video file via Flash, so I know everyone can view it. You can find it on the Bobby’s Bachelor Party page. If you have any problems viewing it, please let me know. Also, if someone has a FireWire DVD burner that works on a Mac, I can convert the movie into DVD’s and hand them out. I may or may not allow the download of the video. The file created by QuickTime is almost 500MB (the uncompressed was 8GB!). The FLV (Flash Video) file I created was less than 100MB however, and it still looks decent.

Well, Bobby’s bachelor party turned out to be mostly a success. I got a good smile out of him. And he danced. I have video proof. I will be uploading it shortly onto the Bobby’s Bachelor Party page.

I can’t opt out of you selling my name!??!

I am getting sick of banks.

I am tired of people stopping unnecessarily to let me go. When I am on my bike riding on the Fort Fraser trail, people at the Bartow Hospital and Bartow Ford stop as I come up. I have a little stop sign. They have right of way. They are in a big metal cage. I am protected by cotton (actually, I think it is a synthetic, but still… actually, I should probably where cotton). A couple of times, I have shook my head to let them know that I am not going to go, and you can see that they get mad that I didn’t take their gesture. I understand they are being kind, but they could also be some serial killer that hates bikers and wants to run them down. I know that if they are passed me and going the opposite direction of me, the chances of getting hit are very slim. One day, someone is going to let someone pass, and some idiot driver will come flying around them and run down some little girl.

People have been doing this in their vehicles a lot lately also. At least then, I am in a big steel box like them. But I still don’t need the gesture. If you have the right of way, and no stop sign, and I do… then GO!!!
