For those of you that do not know, I am a huge fan of television science educational networks like Discovery Channel and Animal Planet. I especially love shows on animals. If there is ever a quiz show and the topic is nature, you want me on your team. That is why I am excited for another Shark Week. This is a full week dedicated to an animal that everyone has heard of, but we are just starting to scratch the surface of what we know about these creatures and their lives. Let no one say there is nothing good on television this week.
I have head a few tunes stuck in my head for a while now, but unlike the song from FAO Schwartz, I am not ready to tear my hair out. Take a listen to the songs if you can get your hands on them.
The Vines - The Factory. I love the bass in this song.
Brand New - The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows
The Strokes - Automatic Stop
Muse - Starlight

How many times have you tried to peel a potato, only to have it slip out of your hands and go sliding across the floor? Then when you grip it tighter, you can’t get around your fingers without scratching and slicing your knuckles. Those days are gone, my friends. We now have Tater Mitts! These are just not recommended for people with jock itch, athletes foot, or chronic nose pickers, although if you’re preparing food in the kitchen, you should probably keep your hands off those places anyway.

I’m torn. I need to use Windows at work, but I dislike it so much. I’m actually pretty clumsy and slow on Windows, partially because I am used to Apple and also because Windows is broken by design. It takes the joy out of using the computer.
I want to use my Apple for personal use and design work, but I work so much at home after normal office hours and on weekends. Using two different laptops would just put my data all over the place. I wouldn’t be able to work when using my MacBook and I wouldn’t be able to browse through my pictures and listen to my music when I am using Windows.

I’ve run across some more interesting finds browsing this wonderful thing we call the World Wide Web. What would I do without the Internet? I sure would have a lot less porn. That must why the OLPC project was started. Kids need porn too. (Totally work safe.)
I’m sure you’ve all seen toe socks before. They are creepy looking, but they go great with toe shoes. This means there’s no more stopping to bend over and pick things up off the ground. You can go for a run on the beach and pick up seashells you come across while in mid stride.

So because all major CMS and accounting applications are run on Windows, I have been forced to run Windows. I was doing fine running Windows inside of OS X using Parallels for my own office use, but as the person in charge of IT, I have to be able to test things for other users. The only viable way to do this is to use a laptop running Windows like everyone else.
Why does every application window look different in Windows? There is absolutely no uniformity in the way applications look! I’m going to be so slow on my computer for the next couple of weeks. If anyone has any recommendations for the following applications, I am definitely looking for help.

I have lost my brother to the darkside. He is now engaged. I take little comfort in knowing that he outlasted most of his friends. People are telling me congratulations, that I have a new sister on the way. Yes, but I think you also mean I have another person trying to muscle their way into my claim with my parents. I mean, I’ve tried to stake my claim by living with them and even working with them.

Gillette sent me this in the mail. I don’t know why at all, but I now have a razor. Did they not realize they were shipping this to an Asian man? This is like a life time supply of razors for me.
I went to pay my credit card online this month. When I looked at my balance, it was unusually high and there were some finance charges from my credit company. Apparently I forgot to pay my credit card last month. The only thing that saved me is that I disputed a charge that I later cancelled, which added a credit to my account that covered my minimum balance. I was also able to point to my good credit history to reverse the finance charges. I’m normally pretty good about paying my bills and I could have sworn that I paid last month too. Oh well. This is why I always say that the rappers got it right. We need to go back to the gold standard. You have all the money you need to buy anything right around your neck and in your icy grill.
In other news, it’s good to fly economy. Also, I knew all Filipino people could dance by nature! Their prison system got something right. If you have to feed and house all these people, at least get some entertainment out of it.

I picked up some guys for my little tank. Check them out. I can’t wait to get home, put them into my tank and watch them crawl all over the tank.
