Google Chrome

Google Chrome seems to be pretty cool.

Things I Don't Like:

• It uses a new process for each tab (which is why it is so fast I am guessing)
• That it isn't integrated with Google Bookmarks 

Things I Like:

• The Speed
  
• The Error Message Below

The most evil bug EVER!

So, this story starts with me being a complete idiot.  (yes again)   I had just replaced the light bulb in a light fixture that has one of those glass globes that attaches to the fixture by 4 little screws that you tighten under the lip of the globe.  Anyway, I must not have tightened them enough, and so, after a few days, the globe fell off the fixture, and down a few stairs, unexpedily not breaking.  So, what do I do when I see this happen, I pick up the globe, or attempt to, and burn the shiznit out of my hand.  (don’t mess, I used to be an OG in a previous life, so I can say shiznit)

Anyway, a pretty bad 3^rd degree burn on the palm of my hand (yeah not sure how it burnt me on the palm of my hand) I had a nice large blister, and about a week later, it was a pretty nasty sore that throbbed regularly.  Now, I am not a pansy, or I would hope not, but what this effin type of bug did to me is just mean as hell.

A few days ago, we noticed we had quite a few fruit flies in our house.  The root cause was a piece of fruit that was at the bottom of the fruit bowl that wasn’t in the greatest condition, and provided a great meal for these little buggers. (yeah buggers, not bugs, I also have a British friend, so I can say that (yes, I am being facetious))

So, what does a normal person do when they see a little fly flying around in front of his face, he claps his two hands together trying to smoosh the life out of the little bastard.  This bastard, or the 4 of them, or maybe the same one just knowing he has the upper hand, errr talon or paw or whatever they have, has created the perfect condition for me to cause myself some great pain. 

Just so you know, don’t smack a place where you have a gaping wound and expect to like it.

Damn freaks of nature.  Fruit flies suck.

Falling Stock Prices

As a good friend of mine watches the company he works for deteriorate with layoffs and a falling stock price, I decided to lend some encouraging words in the form of telling him a childhood story of mine.

Here goes the email response to him:

“It is always fun to be in that position.

Now for a little story:

The way we dedicate and give a part of ourselves to the company we work for reminds me of the time I thought it was cool to tie up a GI Joe to the end of a long piece of string and throw it out the back window of the station wagon while my mom was driving to watch it bounce around. Boing Boing Boing. Then, it only made sense to commit just a little more by wrapping the string around my finger a couple of times, Boing Boing Boing Boing, Then one day, it went Boing Boing, then on one bounce it got caught in a fence, and as the string zipped from the spool, and concurrently around my finger at 35 mph, you can imagine the friction did a number on my finger, I am lucky I didn't lose it.

So, it is always cool to watch a GI Joe bounce around, but don't tie the damn thing to your finger, or the relationship will end badly. ;-)

Oh, and I am not sure if you are the GI Joe or the little boy with the string tied around his finger, but either way your screwed.”
