Apparently this is considered entering a household in “Good Faith”.

McCain: Remove hand and insert foot

“My friends, I will have an energy policy that we will be talking about, which will eliminate our dependence on oil from the Middle East,” McCain told a crowd of 300 at a Jewish Community Center in Denver.

“That will prevent us from having ever to send our young men and women into conflict again in the Middle East.”

Straight from the mouth of a Republican, no matter how much John McCain tries to backtrack and eat his words by saying it was the First, no wait the Second, or was it the Third Gulf War. The cat is out of the bag — at least for those who were stupid enough to not see it and even then they still probably won’t.

Open your eyes fellow Americans!

He got a face lift and it looks so much better.

Linksys WRT150N with DD-WRT

Just setup my network with 2 Linksys WRT150N (v1.1) and flashed them both with DD-WRT. My network range and connection reliability has greatly improved.

Do you try to change the world? Or do you let the world change you?

Face Lift?

Take a good look at Countdown to Armageddon, or see the screenshot and tell me as straight faced as possible that it doesn’t need a redo. Go on!

Birds

Got to meet an old friend of my parents today who is an avid bird watcher. He gave me a link to his site full of photos he has taken of birds. Some really great shots. I never was much of a bird watcher, and I remember Peter watching birds and showing them to me when I was in my early teens.

His site has some great shots of birds you probably would never give a second thought to even though they may fly around you. — Take a look.

According to Wikipedia you have diabetes

While at the hospital yesterday, I glanced at the monitor of one of the on call nurses in ER. She had a screen up from Wikipedia showing the page on diabetes. Now I’m going to give her the benefit of the doubt and say she was studying for her exams or to further her personal knowledge of diabetes. But you decide …

Actually there were a lot of folks browsing the Internet at that hospital, from showing their friends their new house location with Google Maps, to reading jokes online it’s truly amazing what they can accomplish in ER. While those of us who need attention are letting the 5+ hours drift by!

Padres Baseball

Took my daughter and her friends to the Padres vs. Angels preseason exhibition game. Was the first time Rina has been to a ball game. Took her a while to understand what was going on and I think if it wasn’t so cold she would have enjoyed it more. At the beginning of the 3rd inning she told me, “Dad it’s so nice we were able to come watching during the day.” I pointed up to the sky to show her it was pitch black and then had to explain how the bright lights made it look like day time in the stadium.

We left during the 7th ining stretch as I tried to explain to her why everyone was singing “Talk Me Out To The Ball Game” standing up. Overall was a great experience and I’m looking forward to taking her to an NFL game this season!

Flying?

If so don’t watch this. Here’s an A320 making a landing approach with heavy crosswinds!
