Angie and I went to see Oceans 11 last night. I thought it was pretty damn good! now I want to see the original, I hear the original pales by comparison, but I almost never believe those reviewers anyway. Well today is a big showdown in my Fantasy Football league... Number 2(me) is going up against Number 1. Whoever wins gets in the playoffs for sure!

Hey did you miss the Leonid meteor shower I went on about for like 3 weeks? Well there is going to be another one! Space Weather is reporting that another show is coming in a week... I doubt it will be near the Leonid in size but hey if you missed the first one! There is also a story about some fireballs spotter last weekend...
Anyone looking for a geek gift for the holidays? Try Computer Geeks ... cool stuff there!

FYI I just updated my Contact page to allow SMS messages. Don't be sending me midnight messages or I'll take it off of there! Anyone out there know how to crack a Cisco 1702? I got one all locked up!
Let me start by saying I cannot carry a tune in a bucket! I hate to even hear my own voice sometimes, but this morning I grabbed my cd of Robert Earl Keen...No.2 Dinner Live. Now REK is a folk singer, he comes on the country stations sometimes but he's not really country. He's a storyteller. All of his songs are rich and colorful and tell great stories, I'm not talking stories that repeat the same lines over and over for the chorus, no his stories are lush and full of flavor, and very easy to sing to! His voice is unique and probably not very musical, but it is perfect for this type music... by the time I got to work I was singing at the top of lungs and smiling ear to ear. Thank god my stereo is loud enough... anyway if you are looking for a little something different try REK I'd bet you won't be disappointed.
In case you've been under a technological rock! Real One is out... is it all it's cracked up to be? find out...
My dad sent me this today and I liked it so here we blog...
The government recently calculated the cost of raising a child from birth to 18 and came up with $160,140 for a middle income family. Talk about sticker shock! That doesn't even touch college tuition. But $160,140 isn't so bad if you break it down. It translates into $8,896.66 a year,$ 741.38 a month, or $171.08 a week. That's a mere $24.24 a day! Just over a dollar an hour. Still, you might think the best financial advice says don't have children if you want to be "rich." It is just the opposite.
What do your get for your $160,140?
Naming rights. First, middle, and last!
Glimpses of God every day.
Giggles under the covers every night.
More love than your heart can hold.
Butterfly kisses and Velcro hugs.
Endless wonder over rocks, ants, clouds, and warm cookies.
A hand to hold, usually covered with jam.
A partner for blowing bubbles, flying kites, building sandcastles, and skipping down the sidewalk in the pouring rain.
Someone to laugh yourself silly with no matter what the boss said or how your stocks performed that day.
For $160,140, you never have to grow up.
You get to finger-paint, carve pumpkins, play hide-and-seek, catch lightning bugs, and never stop believing in Santa Claus.
You have an excuse to keep: reading the Adventures of Piglet and Pooh, watching Saturday morning cartoons, going to Disney movies, and wishing on stars.
You get to frame rainbows, hearts, and flowers under refrigerator magnets and collect spray painted noodle wreaths for Christmas, hand prints set in clay for Mother's Day, and cards with backward letters for Father's Day.
For $160,140, there is no greater bang for your buck.
You get to be a hero just for retrieving a Frisbee off the garage roof, taking the training wheels off the bike, removing a splinter,filling a wading pool, coaxing a wad of gum out of bangs, and coaching a baseball team that never wins but always gets treated to ice cream regardless.
You get a front row seat to history to witness the first step, first word, first bra, first date, and first time behind the wheel.
You get to be immortal.
You get another branch added to your family tree, and if you're lucky, a long list of limbs in your obituary called grandchildren.
You get an education in psychology, nursing, criminal justice, communications, and human sexuality that no college can match.
In the eyes of a child, you rank right up there with God.
You have all the power to heal a boo-boo, scare away the monsters under the bed, patch a broken heart, police a slumber party, ground them forever, and love them without limits, so one day they will, like you, love without counting the cost.
ENJOY YOUR KIDS AND GRANDKIDS
well the weather outside is ... umm balmy i.am.sam
Check out the emoticon for today! Magical... two days ago I spoke to a friend from England AH the very next day his best mate and my good friend MC called me and I spoke to him, since then I have been on a cloud! I will NOT let anything get me down! in the word of Al Pacino "WHO-aaaaa"
You are longing for a little love and tenderness.....Presently you are feeling very sensitive and need a sympathetic shoulder to lean on. You don't need any further stresses, strains or arguments .. So take a deep breath and relax. Let me take you on a little journey... turn off the lights, put away your inhibitions and click ...me...
enjoy...i.am.samu
Ok almost a year the hype was out! What is "IT"? Does anyone remember this? "IT" was hype by some really big names...Steve Jobs Said people "will erect entire cities around it", people fought over right to books about "IT" and Jeff Bezos even put "IT" for sale on Amazon.com even though no one knew what "IT" was! With in a matter of days speculation was all over the place for what "IT" could be, alot thought "IT" was a Sterling Engine(pertutual engine) or a motor that could run off of water, whatever "IT" was the inventor was keeping "IT" under wraps... well here we are 12 months later and my friend AH from the UK was the first to send me the real story on what "IT" is... a scooter!?! Not just any scooter, a self balancing scooter that goes 12 mph, won't let you fall off, has no brakes and moves by your thought waves! Yes you heard it right this is not science fiction! Go and check it out... also look here and for a diagram here. I'm a little skeptical that it will change the world but "IT" is kinda neat! Wanna see "IT" in action... go here
On another note... Outlook may soon have a run for it's money! Ximian Evolution has just been released and is being touted as an Outlook replacement! we'll see...
Ok this cloning thing is getting out of hand! Japan is tryng to clone multi species animals together! WTF
As some of you know I have had very limited exposure to snow in my life... 3-4 times max total, and one of those was 4 freakin hour drive home from work when I was in England! Anwyay I'm determind to let Dade experience some snow, so I made a homemade snow gun... and you all know I'm crazy enough to make this work... now if can just get the temperature down low enough here in Texas! would you like to know more?
I have one thing left to say... UT WTF were you thinking! You'd think after 2 or 3 ints that you'd get him out of there but no... lets go for 4 ints and a fumble! Way to piss that chance away! I'm glad I'm not passionate about the Horns or I would have pissin blood Saturday night! Ughhhh!
A rare Saturday entry! Dade and I went ice skating yesterday, he looked like a new born foal out there on the ice at first but after 30 minutes or so he was ready. He went all the way around(holding the rail) by himself without falling once! By the end of the day he was actually skating, sorta, while holding my hand... we had a great time!
Ok I know you've seen the Telezapper on TV this year. It claims to eliminate those sales calls by removing you from the database of the caller. Ever wonder how they work? Slashdot has an article up about it. Well it works by putting those 3 tones you hear when you dial a wrong number in front of every call you answer! Every Call! So your mom calls you do,do,de "hi mom" etc... what a bunch of crap! I say record the tones on the front of your answering machine and be done ... save your $50! or send it to me and I'll record the tones for you!
First Napster and now KaZaA/Music City/Morpheous. Those of you who read my blog regularly will rember how I went on about Morpheous on a few occasions. It was better than Napster in my opinion. Well some judge is trying to impose the same copywrite deal that courts did on Napster... he he the jokes on them! There is no server to shut down! Unlike Napster, KaZaA does not use a centralized server, as a matter of fact when you get on KaZaA you become a server yourself sort of... I won't go in to specifics here but suffice it to say they can't just flip a switch and turn it off. read more about it
Ok only Japan could fall in love with a game that's sole purpose is to poke someone in the ass...
/. Distributed net spam detection? v.cool... all you geeks can get the sccop here
On my way to work this morning I was pondering my future... surely I can find work out there if/when something goes down in January and surely my family won't have to suffer to much! Then I thought it could be worse, I could have worked at Enron,
