35/365: Opening The New Camcorder →
I’m finally clearing off some video from my digital camera. This is footage of me opening the box containing my new Sony HDR-SR10 Camcorder.

We leave for a mini-vacation tomorrow. We’re heading to Williamsburg, Busch Gardens, and Water World. I can’t tell you how much I need this vacation too. Been banging shit out at work and managed to finish off (at least into testing) a couple BIG projects. Now I need to unwind and NOT think about work for a few days.
Our daughter will be in NYC with her BFF and folks. So it’ll...
Time for a Name Change
I saw a delivery truck this morning from a distance. It was on the other side of the intersection, a few cars back. I could just make out the title of the company above the other cars.
Shitmaster?
I did a double-take. Stritmatter.
Much better … or not. Either a company name change is in order, or change the font on the trucks! Shitmaster … *giggle*
Viva Caligula! →
This is a fun (and gory) little flash game that has you playing Caligula. You run around the streets of Rome killing all the citizens and searching for more weapons. You move with the arrow keys, and press the letter of the weapon you want to use to kill people with. There are 26 weapons total … I was only able to get 22 before getting tired of the game (I died three times). My favorite...

Time to Par-TAY
After a 95 year ban, Absinthe is now available in Virginia, and on sale in ABC stores. w00t!
I’m curious to try some … has anybody ever had any? What’s so great about it?
Busy, and yet ... not.
This weekend flew by. Saturday we woke up early and had just a few errands to run. Yet, by the time we got home, it was already evening. Ugh.
Today, we were dedicated to hanging out at home. I finished a video for my mom, walked her through using iTunes over the phone, and watched a couple movies. I *SO* needed some time to do that kind of stuff … the stuff I want to do versus the stuff I...

HLS aide offers access for money
reportedly … “Stephen Payne, a Bush pioneer and a political appointee to the Homeland Security Advisory Council, was caught on tape offering access to key members of the Bush administration inner circle in exchange for ‘six-figure donations to the private library being set up to commemorate Bush’s presidency.’”

Summer Cleaning
While the wife and kids are at the pool, I’m gettin’ shit DONE!
I’ve cleaned up our sitting room (in our bedroom) by pulling the piles of stuff out we’re donating. Then I hooked up the portable DVD player to the TV, setup the exercise bike and moved the rest of our workout equipment in there. I’ve turned it into our workout room. Holla!
In the meantime, I’m...
McCain ... FOUR MORE YEARS!
McCain is the MOST absent Senator of all 100! He’s missed 61.8% of the votes of the 110th Congress.
Which is funny, because he blasted congress for taking a break:
McCAIN: 80-some percent of the American people think the country’s on the wrong track. Approval ratings of Congress — I saw one poll, 12 percent, the lowest in 40 years they’ve been taking these polls.
And meanwhile, what’s...

Not selling anything
I received a spam message with the following subject:
“Wow! Your penis is unique!” Isn’t that what you just love to hear?
I gotta tell you … no. Pretty much anytime somebody describes something as “unique” … they don’t mean it in a good way. “Wow, you have a very … unique … singing voice.” Or, “your blind date?...
