Thanks "Merik."

Also, wtf is going on here? They're always after me lucky charms, those witches.

taking your last week of college off to vacation in the carribean: priceless
=========================
there are some things money can't buy, for everything else, there's student loans.

I'm doing ok, I guess. I'm doing as well as one can do in a cold, rainy locale where the sun has not been visible in approximately three or four days. Cloudy days like these make me feel just so-so. It doesn't quite give me the motivation I need to complete a project or do anything worthwhile. It's kinda unfortunate. But oh well, I'll survive.

Speaking of projects, I seem to be trucking along just fine in this corporate site I have to make. Right now, their existing site contains nothing but black text pages on solid white backgrounds using default link colors. Only one third of their pages work, too, heh. That makes them "w1nnars." I've got a couple site mock-ups I intend to present to them as potential site designs early next week. I hope they like. I'm pretty sure they will, although the designs themselves lack any real detail and functionality and little trinkets that can make some websites come alive. There's no sense in doing that if they still don't really know what they want for a site, you know what I'm saying? But that's ok; I forgive them. Last thing I want to do is go crazy silly with one design and then find out that they hate it.

After they got a rough idea of which one of my oh-so-sexy templates they'd like to use (or maybe we'll brainstorm a new template?), then I may go to Kinko's and scan their letterhead and other specialized forms of paper and make various borders and title logos with it. Normally, I'd use my mother's scanner for this sort of job, but it's a piece of shit and I can't get it to run properly. Now, if I could convince them to buy a digital camera to show off their fine institution and their classrooms and stuff. Can digital cameras be rented somewhere? That'd be cool.

Then I can get make some other mock-ups, see what they like, maybe do a little fine-tuning after that, and get a static site up to replace their current hunk of Dreamweaver mess. Hehe. Then comes the fun, dynamic e-commerce stuff. Whee! It may be time to dust off those ASP books. :)

So, yeah. I think I'm gonna troll for food now. I'm a big fan of eating. Yum.

And if you're bored, you can take some gay little online tests like this superhero one (I got a 6 of 10) and this spelling one (13 of 16). I found them over at Weblog Wannabe while I was hunting the net for worthwhile posting material. No dice.

I love this sport.

Take your pick.

On another note, I received a heart-warming poem today through e-mail. It's about friendship and since you are all my friends, I would like to share it with you:

Friend,

When you are sad, ...I will get you drunk and help you plot
revenge against the sorry bastard who made you sad.

When you are blue, ... I'll try to dislodge whatever is
choking you.

When you smile, ... I'll know you finally got laid.

When you are scared, ... I will rag you about it every
chance I get.

When you are worried, ... I will tell you horrible stories about
how much worse it could be and to quit whining.

When you are confused, ... I will use little words to explain it
to your dumb ass.

When you are sick, ... stay away from me until you're well
again. I don't want whatever you have.

When you fall, ... I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass.

This is my oath, ... I pledge until the end. Why you may ask?
Because you're my friend!

No. Well, maybe.

Its really just because I have been really busy with work and when I haven't been busy with work, I have been doing some behind the scenes work on some super secret projects that we have coming up. Like maybe a solution to the Yahoo!/Geocities bandwidth difficulties. Or perhaps a solution to the Yahoo!/Geocities pop-in add to the right ->. Maybe we are just ditching Yahoo!/Geocities altogether, ok? This place will be bigger and better. Also, Jerome has been doing a lot of work on aesthetics and Feng Shui (when he has been able to pull himself away from Civilization 3, or his collection of goat porn), which should be up, just about soon. Great work! Also, since Mike is the newbie, he gets the beating stick. Until we get some other newbies, that is.

This link was found at Blues.

I got a couple of interesting links from my buddy Pete today. The first is a site worth checking out in you spare time. It's damn funny and has some excellent movie reviews (check out the review for Monster's, Inc.). The second link shows how damn horny American's really are. I mean come on, 14 partners in one year! I'm bringing that average way the hell down. Frankly, my naive mind refuses to believe it and I think the survey is full of shit. Still, it's pretty interesting if you start cross checking the columns (for example, look at Japan). I know, it must be that pimp Jerome who's causing those ridiculous numbers! ;)

But anyway, it is time for me to drop some phat nerdy science hymns to you, my brothas and sistas.

This was bound to happen. Human cloning. Of course, the involved research groups aren't interested in the cloning aspect of it, just the "infinite organs" part of it. Maybe there won't be a shortage of kidneys and livers for transplants ever again. However, I must question how one could go about creating a fully developed organ without it ever being part of a fully developed clone. I mean, can they get wool from the cloned English sheep if it was never born? I don't think so. And I'm pretty sure no human clone is willing to die just because someone else's heart is failing. And now I'm going to drop this line of thought because there is way too many ethical concerns and debates involving this subject matter.

BT sues Prodigy because of a hyperlink patent. It makes you wonder why BT chose to attack Prodigy when everyone and their mothers uses links on their webpages and stuff. A website would pretty useless without them! People over at Shacknews are guessing that Prodigy is a rather wealthy company struggling to remain in the ISP game. A big court case could make them tap out. The result? Easy money for BT.

If you don't really feel like splicing a Playstation controller to use with your PC, you can buy this little adapter instead. I learned about this while making sure certain URL's still worked for the upcoming revision of this site, in this case, Overclockers Online.

Tip of the day: Don't bother with the coffee-cake muffin from Dunkin' Donuts. It sucks. Stick with blueberry!
