Don’t put that in your mouth
This video made me feel better about myself, because it proves there are stupider people with stupider jobs and stupider friends:

Bad juju days
The past 48 hours have been so trying, it would be easier to just forget about them. It is for that very reason that I now attempt to document them. Two nights ago, I fell asleep with a high fever and covered up with a heavy blanket when the chills started an hour later. I woke up a couple hours later hearing my wife’s voice telling me to do something, but I was drenched in my own sweat and feverish again. I somehow sensed there was a blackout, because the room was completely dark – no flashing LEDs from electronics or nightlights for the babies could be seen. I kicked…

This last detail ensures that daddy will also be going back for a cut there sometime, with camera.

Ambivalent message
“You have successfully lifted your PayPal withdrawal limit” sounds more cautionary than anything else… How about something happier like, “PayPal is now Your GetPaidPal! Congratulations! Dead Presidents FTW!! Get Your Ducats, Dude!”

Antenna app for online radio
Antenna, an application based on Adobe Air is easily installed from this site with a couple clicks and is one of the best online radio apps I’ve ever used because of its clever interface. The approach is so novel that it actually turned me back onto online radio after forgetting about it for ten years or so. Screen shot:
