Month: November 2004

I’ve been waiting for this little toy for quite some time now, it’s been out forever but only on MacOS X. I’m talking about Konfabulator, screen candy from the fine folks over at Pixoria.

At any rate, I’ve modified this widget to show the Abbycam instead of Mt. Saint Helens.

Download here and enjoy the Abbycam in transparent desktop goodness.

Cracker Barrel has a lot of gumption to have a ‘low carb’ menu. I thought the only thing they served was carbs.

Each time I go to Cracker Barrel, I always set the chicken timers to go off.

I just saw on TV where Yasser Arafat finally is dead. I’m reminded of something I read a few weeks ago, it said that everything you need to know about Yasser Arafat was the fact that he insisted on wearing his sidearm to address the UN General Assembly. And the everything you need to know about the UN General Assembly is that they let him.

My TV went on the fritz on Saturday, and a representative from HHGregg came out this afternoon to identify and fix the problem. He did some sort of Vulcan death grip on the front panel buttons, and in the process of fixing the problem, he brought up a display that indicated that the set has 627 hours of viewing on it. According to my receipts, I got it on December 20, 2003. So in 326 days, I’ve watched 627 hours of TV. That’s roughly 1.9 hours of television per day.

That seems like a good number and might indicate that I have a well-rounded non-couch potato lifestyle, but considering the fact that I’m in front of a computer about 16 hours a day (including the 1.9 that I’m watching TV)–it doesn’t seem so healthy.

I don’t know if you can make it out, but the mail truck two cars ahead has a “W The President” sticker on the upper right back corner. Tennessee is a red state, you know.

UPDATE: I just missed Ohio. Of course, that was the margin of victory.
