Coming soon

I'm excited. Switched my desktop to Ubuntu a while ago. Just recently switched my media center over to Mythbuntu. It's better than Windows MCE in a few key areas. My only PC hangup is for when I teach classes for Canine Camera. I'm too lazy to fix the few formatting and transition errors in the powerpoints for class. Maybe the next time the classes are updated.

Inevitability

You'll be a pirate either way.

VP of sales might be dropping by today....

Linky Late Nighty

A couple things for y'all.

One is a color/hue test. Arrange the various colors in order. I dropped a 29. Lower is better. I wonder if a better calibrated monitor would have helped... I guess I could just test over on the laptop screen. Does apple have an unfair advantage for being a color managed system?.. Did firefox screw up the rendering?.. Good luck.

Second is a Cowbellator. Add more cowbell and more walken to any song. Two examples below.

This one is 26% cowbell, 5% walken

This is 51% cowbell, 10% walken. Obviously a far superior product.

About to teach a photo class and i really have to poo. This is going to be awkward or comical.

Sugary Let Down

no ring.

Think I can propose with a temporary tattoo?

Absurd Math

One Month, Two Months, THREE?!@@!@#$#@12

Joking around with Heather the other night I found out she thinks 3 months salary is traditional for an engagement ring. I was feeling good about going the extra mile (cuz I kinda like her or something) and doing 2 months. When did engagement inflation happen?! FIGHT ENGAGEMENT INFLATION!

I knew I should bought the ring back when I didn't have a job.

You're Too Dumb To Be Smart

Just finally watched this video about the fifth amendment and why even the innocent shouldn't speak to the police.  Enlightening.  Truly.

http://www.tuccille.com/blog/2008/07/eight-reasons-even-innocent-shouldnt.html

The session is presented from the side of both a defense lawyer and a police officer.  They both agree with the substance of the message.  The nuances of human nature can be self defeating for the innocent and guilty alike.

Spend a little time and learn the beauty of the fifth amendment.

the first one is about how sex with out condoms is the new engagement ring...

the second is about people who live together before getting married aren't more likely to get divorced, but less.

Life as a cartoon

Some days, being a manager makes me feel like Papa Smurf.

Because face it, the Smurfs as a species were whiny little bitches.  Or at least, that's what I remember about 'em.

Dark Humour

Must be in a bit of a dark place this morning.  I was slightly horrified, and then amused at my own response when I saw the title of an email from my District Manager today.  It was titled "Execution Reminder" and my first thought was about a violent and bloody end for another manager or wayward store associate.
