We’re signed up for Vonage, but it only occured to me after the fact that the DirecTV with TiVo uses the phone line to do computery stuff (which can fail on VOIP lines). So we’ll see.

This is what my face looks like. November 2005 was better than a lot of other Novembers, but hasn’t really proven that I could do this as a “look”.
You’ve all been very nice to me. December 1st, it all goes away.

This is the only LA relocation plan that makes sense.
terrible news about O.G.
November 22nd, 2005 — Tags: internet
Dear me…
I am Barrister Mike Haward, a solicitor at
law,personal attorney to Mr.O.G.Nordquist, a national
Of your country and a contractor with Togo Regional
Water Scheme in Lome Togo. Here in after shall be
referred to as my client.
I’d been wondering about dear uncle O.G., but I didn’t think I’d be hearing from his barrister.
On the 22nd of June 2003, my client,his wife and their
only daughter were involved in a car accident along
Nouvissi express Road. All occupants of the vehicle
unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I have made
several enquiries to your embassy here to locate any
of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved
unsuccessful.
As I imagined, the unimaginable has happened. And I find out right before Thanksgiving! I’ll have to inform J.E., R.K., F.A., and little C.E.
After these several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to
track his last name over the Internet, to locate any
member of his family hence I contacted you.I have
contacted you to assist in repartrating the fund
valued at US$7.5 million left behind by my client
before it gets confisicated or declared unserviceable
by the bank where this huge amount were deposited.
Now if I had the money to send to Barrister Mike Haward, you know I would, because $7.5 million is a lot of money, and if you can’t trust a barrister in Togo on the internet, who can you trust? Alas, we’ve got no money to pay the processing fees, so that $7.5 million will just be sitting there until he finds another Nordquist on the internet…
hi amy! hi ken!

On Saturday, I ran into a guy who used to be my boss. He brought some friends of his to a poker game, and I was explaining to them that I used to report to him.
"Used to? Until?"
"Until things changed. Things change."
In truth, he went back to his old division as a project manager, since he never really got a shot in the IT department. Things just didn’t work out.
My ex-boss interrupted, though: "the best was, five or six years ago, Amy and Ken came over to tell me ‘Dan’s updating his website from work!’"
I was instantly a little embarrassed. I’d shared my site with a few people at work, but I didn’t expect people to be keeping tabs on when I’d updated it. I stammered "uh, so, what’d you tell them?"
He laughed. "I asked them how they knew!"
Ah, comeuppance! An ironic twist! Still, a little embarrassing.

Yesterday’s woot made me laugh out loud. They come up with the most awesome photos for their stuff.

God, someone stop AJ Schnack before he kills again. “Gigantic” was fine, but it presented such a skewed view of TMBG that I can’t imagine what he has up his sleeve for Kurt Cobain. Yuck.

First: Ween’s on the upcoming “Live at First Ave” CD. Plus: Tommy Stinson “seems” to be joining Soul Asylum full-time. It’s not like Axl Rose is keeping him super busy, anyway.

Frank Vascellaro AND Ken Barlow in one week? KARE’s gonna have the whole organization run by Tim Perkins. And nobody wants that.

This page makes me understand a little better what the XBOX360 is all about.

KLBB - Music for Grandpa - was replaced in the last six months by Spanish-language music. I didn’t know MPR owned that station before.
so snow, then
November 16th, 2005 —
Once again, we’ve been hit by snow, and once again, I feel the need to report it on this site. The first snow of the year is always a little special: for the benefit of any readers who might be submarine-bound, equatorial, or who cave-dwelling, I am their guide to the outside world.
But it’s doing nothing for me this year. It’s gonna be five degrees tonight, the car was frozen shut this morning, and it seem to mark nothing more than four wasted warm months. I’m usually the cheery one in my marriage about the weather, but I just can’t muster it this year.

Cris Carter’s forgetting that Mike Tice went for two on the road against New Orleans three years ago.

Basically captures the recording input, but here’s the catch: it’s always doing it, with a trailing window of two minutes. Neat. (Wonder if it’d work with Skype?)
