Check out these busy boxes. Each at $150.00 a piece. I remember when technology like this was $700-1000 … they sound really cooooooool…
I love how MIDI cables (which used to have a bunch of pins in cable collar) are now about the same as a mini 1/8th inch headphone jack. This technology just gets better everyday!
I’ve been cleaning up people’s PCs’ during the last few days. I thought I would share some of the secret handy sites (courtesy of Bitchin Bob):
ophcrack
Download the appropriate CD IMAGE (.iso file) for your operating system. Boot to the CD and find all your computer’s passwords.

nirsoft.net
Tons of utilities to investigate your computer’s operation and performance.

Windows Live Sysinternals
My favorite app here is autoruns. It shows you all the stuff that runs in the background on your computer and gives you the ability to disable it or delete it. There are many other nifty apps here too (like process explorer).

Folks, the list grows daily. Put this up there with great job listing terms like “ability to self municate”.
The listing du jour follows:
“Master storytellerable to craft a master narrative cohering an entire curriculum; able to write stories that relate the unknown to the known; able to create immersive, narrative-driven, learning experiences that expose learners to new beliefs or reframe current beliefs that drive effective behaviors; able to simplify and rationalize the complex and irrational.”
What the hell is “Master storytellerable”?? I’m serious folks. This was in a job requirement. This sounds like they want you to create some sort of Romulan brain torture device. REEEEEDICULOUS!!!
A possible rewrite would be:
“Able to change republicans to democrats and straights to gays. Able to see into the future without a crystal ball and be held accountable for this. Make lazy people energized with stuff that makes them lazy in the first place. Change Christians into Atheists at the wave of a wand. (and lets not forget) Spoon feed the lazy and the rich.”
I am now going to crawl into bed and cry!
Can’t stand her voice. Can’t stand looking at her or hearing her speak. Have always thought she was off her rocker. Now we have the proof. Enjoy!
My mom, during her recovery is keeping busy making blankets for all the grandchildren….I told her I found the perfect fabric for my blanket…the US of Gay…
Who knew our founding fathers where so damn sexy and damn gay? Look at the sexy leer that Ol Abe is giving. You know he was a power bottom…
It just makes you wonder if he was laughing inside when he did this…
Play this at my funeral… Somehow, every time I’m drunk or silly… this song appears in my head.
Can’t explain it…
And then if you think you get it, follow it up with this one…
Then try to figure out why the hell you are looking at this blog in the first place.
(Thank you Liz for the introduction to the second track here)….
It’s not a secret that I hate/hated Texas. I read this article and cracked up laughing. This is a jpg so dont hope to click on it and get the next rating of attire. I think the description on the right says more than I could ever say about Texas.
I have decided to start recording my potential job “Whoppertunities®”.
This is the first of hopefully many audio bits of recruiters calling me with job opportunities. Essentially, they are the people who will be representing me to my future dream employer. I suppose this IS the best person to do that. (Sigh). Odds are, well, I’m still looking for work….
Our first contestant in this series needs some serious slowing down or something. I like how long it takes her to find my name on the prostitute du jour list.
Here she is a little slower. Try not to laugh, I laughed it all out!
And, just to show I care, here she is SLOW but with a funky beat for no particular reason.
More to come… Get all excited! Any ideas, or comments? I’m all in!
