Seriously, these two guys have way too much free time on their hands.

Perhaps Engadget should send these guys to do the next iPhone commercial.

Really? You want to see more?

I see that soltice has posted her tree. Who else is up to the challenge?

I received the following bit of spam at work the other day:

Subject: Three cheers for you!

We are so much glad to present a new suggestion you will never give up.
This is a worthwhile chance to earnmoney without the risk of wasting
them. We assure you, it's a stable agreement with no demur.

We have got thoroughly inspected message about the new rise on the
market next session. We anticipate some outstanding news gonna be
brought to publicity on Friday, and they will definitely tear you to
pieces! The cause is in (W_B_R_S .PK) that's rapidly moving up but you
still can take a position to dig in & benefit from it. The price gonna
be mad on the way up, add yourself to it now while it is on its lows and
get richier. You ought to remember that such a chance usually may not go
unnoticed for long.

Don't be happy with your preceding progress; show what you are able to
do now! Once you decide to put in your savings, you will take a notice
that earning bucks with (W_B_R_S . PK) is such a pleasant & easy work
without anyneed to be worried about it.

I know to not invest in (W_B_R_S . PK), but I can imagine some random guy hawking it to passersby on a street corner in some large metropolis. Lots of people would probably eat it up because, in the words of Trinidad Spicer, it's "a stable agreement with no demur."

Yes, I know this video is silly.

I've been playing around with GarageBand on my new iMac this weekend. My fiddling has resulted in a remix of Senator Ted Stevens' recent "Series of Tubes" speech about Net neutrality.

In addition to my adaptation of Stevens' speech, there are a couple of others out there, such as this amusing video. Thank you for inspiring us, Ted!

I know I said I would meet a certain Very Important Person in my last entry; this was done a week ago last Saturday.

On a related note, I have a new icon courtesy of the fine folks at Walt Disney World's Animal Kingdom.

My next adventure will take place this coming weekend, when I visit my cousins in the Washington, DC area. No visits with Very Important People (in a worldly sense) are anticipated, though I will be seeing plenty of Very Important Relatives.

Missing Persons - "Mental Hopscotch"

If you're reading this and planning to graduate from UMM this coming weekend, you might want to reconsider. From CNN:

12-year undergrad postpones the real world -- again

WHITEWATER, Wisconsin (AP) -- Despite his 12 years as an undergraduate student, Johnny Lechner realized something was missing from his academic record: he'd never studied abroad.

Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! In February I had a shoot-out with rival gang lords on the 5 near LA (-76 points). Last Saturday I ruled Iran as a kind and benevolent dictator (700 points). Last Wednesday I got in line at the supermarket at the same time as someone else and I didn't yield (-8 points). Last Thursday I put money in ecrane's expired parking meter (14 points). In March I gave soltice a life-saving blood transfusion (50 points). Overall, I've been nice (680 points). For Christmas I deserve a new dolly! Sincerely, joeypatterson

Apparently, someone at UMM has too much free time on his hands.
