Couldn't believe it when I saw this pathetic stamp on a dollar bill I received as change (if you can't read it, it says "Save the WHITE RACE"). There's a website listed below it, but I left that out of the pic. I'm not in the business of helping neanderthal, racist conspiracy theorists further their ridiculous crusades.

"Remember, kids... When something is wrong in your world, it's always easiest to blame someone else. Races work well for this. Now, here's a rubber stamp for each of you..."

PS - I'm white.

A few years back, when Walmart started to be a big deal, they cut a huge chunk out of the top of a hill made of solid rock and built one there. This was just before the SuperWalmarts began popping up... Not terribly long after the Walmart was built, a huge chunk of the rock wall that had been cut fell on the back of the store, or so the story goes. It was supposedly damaged beyond acceptable repair and abandoned. A scant while later, construction began on the new SuperWalmart that was to be erected just down the hill, in a much more visible commercial development. The old Walmart stands to this day, off in the distance, with the parking lot blocked off. I don't know... The back wall lookings pretty intact to me...

This is the cover of one of our local free promo papers. I just thought it was cool. "Aaarr! Give up the MP3s, ye scurvy dogs! Yaaarrr!"

On a completely unrelated note, we (as in "the fiancee [that word sounds so pretentious] and I") are looking to buy a house. It's an exciting prospect. We've looked at about 4 or 5 already. Only 1 has caught our mutual eye so far. You'd think I'd have thought to snap pics of the house, but I didn't. Although, the realtor was quite taken with my CSK when she heard an email ring in. Heh.

I have to take back what I said about my recent "case mod". It didn't improve the ringer volume a little. It improved it *greatly*, to the point that I actually have to turn the volume down a little! Go figure...

As all SK owners can attest, whwpen it's in its case, it's near impossible to hear the SK ring above anything louder than a purring cat.... I noticed when I first got my CSK thar it had a speaker on the back, ina addition to the on e used for the phone. Why then would they give you a clip/case that buries that speaker? It would only make sense that the ringer would be a tad louder if it wasn't vlocked, right? Well then, let's cut a hole in it!

Here you can see the hole I cut, the layers that came out, and the bleeding edge, high tech measuring tool I used to assure the hole lined perfectly with the speaker.

It worked, by the way. Though not a huge improvement, it's definitely louder and clearer. Maybe I should start a home business. Heh.

Man, what a mess. Whoever said "Presentation is everything" wasn't about to eat a fancily presented buffalo chicken wrap. The woman whipped it up fine, but then she grabbed a plate, swirled more sauce in a fancy design *on the plate*, and plopped the wrap in the sauce. So, now I have a wrap, commonly eaten with the hands, soaked in wing sauce, which is getting everywhere.... At least it was pretty.

So... We had dinner at "Johnny Rockets" (in the parking lot of our Cinemark) for the first time, waiting to go see "LXG". 50's theme restaurant, with period appropriate music and wait staff in uniforms of the time. The waitress drew a smiley face with ketchup when she brought our fries. "Love Shack" began blaring. And then it started....the dancing.....

Eew. It's all rainy and crap... --Chris/Logik AIM: ChrisLogik

Been tethered to my desk for a couple hours now (troubleshooting conference call)...

App People: "Blah blah blah. Yabber yabber yabber. Chris? You still on the call??"

Chris the Network Guy: "Yes

App People: "Oh wait. I see something. Nevermind. Blah blah blah. Yabber yabber yabber"

Chris the Network Guy: (Goes back to working on 4 other problems)

(repeat about 20 times)

Sites to see while tied to my desk (one point for guessing which one emulates my current state):

Saw "Pirates..." last night. Liked it. Good, fun pirate movie. No pics. The lights were already down when we got in there.

Here are some random pics I've been too busy to post...

Pic1: Black Hole Sun (leaving work late, as usual)

Pic2: Where I live (driving home late from work, as usual)

Pic3: My poor Beta, after a run with "fin and tail rot". I've had him for almost 5 years, though. He's a trooper.

Wooha! I've been tracking my camera through FedEx and it just hit my mailbox a couple hours ago. Just ran home and grabbed it. Now there's no stopping me. You poor, poor bastards...

[b]Pic 1:[/b] My first CSK photo ever. [b]Pic 2:[/b] The first thing anyone does when the buy a new camera is to take a picture of their eye. Here you go... [b]Pic 3:[/b] Welcome to Cubeville.

(Let's see if I can do this on the first try. Heh.) --Chris/Logik AIM: ChrisLogik
