Thing #44....I think

So I found another thing....they are becoming rather elusive, these things, they are they are..... This one is called Jott. It seems to be cool sorta like an online reminder service where texts can be sent to your email or phone, or wherever you want them to be sent to ....your blog for example.....I drew the line at this one, however. I am NOT putting in my cell phone number for this, and you have to do that to register. I get enough telemarketers calling me at home regardless of being on the do-not-call registry, since non-profits, and politicians can get around that. The freakin' Neilsen ratings people called me three times in one week! Obnoxious people....I don't even watch tv....unless it's when I'm falling asleep in front of a M.A.S.H. rerun on TV Land. They don't even have the good sense to know that they don't want my opinion anyway. All I need is telemarketers calling my cell....that's all it will take to push me over the edge into a ....I mean...I am a well adjusted person, yes I am! Well, that's enough ranting...try Jott out if your a texting kinda person...which I am definitely not.....yeah...text this!

Bee Afraid..Bee Very Afraid!!

Yeah...No amount of Raid can take care of this problem. What do you do with one of these if it takes up residence at your house? The only thing you can do....bite his little freakin' head off! I have the darn cutest Border Terrorist in the universe. Go ahead and TRY to find a cuter one....can't be done!

Eat My Z

Yep, that's what I wanted my plates to say, but the Ohio BMV has some absurd law about not having the word EAT on your license plate. C'mon, it's no different than eat my dust! Here she is, in all her glory, my favoritest car in the entire universe, that I have had since I was 17! Notice the restraint that she is showing in this picture from the Canfield Supernationals from many years ago. She has yet to puke on this mid 80's Camaro next to her that is clearly her mechanical, style, and intellectual inferior. Not to mention the owner of said vehicle, the shirtless wonder, with his wife beater tucked into his shorts, sporting what is no doubt a classic "Camaro mullet". Nice black out kit on the lights, and mini bra on the hood.....that sound you hear is me choking on my sarcasm. But enough of this mockery.....All Hail My '74 Z28....especially those of you who make fun of my other vehicle....you know who you are....but really, who are you kidding? You drive a grocery getter. I laugh at you! HAHAHAHA!

And yes, she came with a factory 8 Track, and wants to know if you have any Skynnyrd on ya....

Go Ahead.....Make His Day...

Yeah, go ahead........tick him off....he's just about to start molting. You know what that means? You betcha......PMS..........PreMoltingSyndrome. He'll eat your spleen! Yep, give him a big smooch...you know you want to.....

My Own Thing

So reading a library journal, of all things, you can come across some neato stuff. For instance, my very cool Flip video camera. One hour worth of video with a little view screen that is good for incompetent videographers such as myself. Not to mention a built in USB port so you just pop it into your computer, download it, or upload it to YouTube, or email it to friends and family. To make it library related, programs could be videoed and added to the website if so desired. All this for $125 smackers!

Strangely enough, most of the cool stuff that you find comes from School Library Journal. They had a cool techie website in there in the last edition that I got (probably from May) but anyway it is a site that links to the front page of like 40 other techie sites, very cool. It's http://www.fichey.com . They had a neat thing that I'm so going to figure out how to do. It pops up your thumbnail images so that you click on them, they expand, and then you click again, and they resume their previous thumbnail image size. It also squishes them sideways if you want. Just tricky, man!

Thing #43

So these Midi things are pretty cool. I played around with these the day before yesterday at home on my shiny new red laptop that I had to buy since the old desktop #$@% the bed on me last week! (Shiny red matching mousy appeared last night! Most Excellent!) (you have to do these things at home, you know, because of the aforementioned librarian love of porn which is why we're not allowed to download as much as an upgrade to Adobe to a work computer ourselves...but, I digress) Anyway.....You can make Mr. Rogers' "Won't you be my Neighbor?" sound like Satan is singing it...hahaha just funny funny stuff here. Don't see how I'll have much practical use for it, but I may play the adjusted version really loud for the Trick-or Treaters next year when the little beggars come around my house!If only I could have burned it for this year....! How cool is that? Like my house isn't scary enough.....

Thing #42

Usenet/GoogleGroups. Yes yes,....discussion groups. Who doesn't belong to a discussion group? I have the misfortune to belong to several. None, however, are generated through Google, but rather through Yahoo. Most of these you have to sign up for, give info on yourself, and wait to be accepted to. Then they send you either a barrage of single emails, or, if you're like myself, a digest, where as many as 25 postings are sent to you in a single email. As I mentioned above, I belong to several newslists. The Borzoi News List, which is hosted by Yahoo, and is always fun, since there are ALWAYS people who forget to respond to an individual, and respond the whole list that "Yes, I saw what Mary was wearing at the show in Philly last weekend, when she had that horrible bitch out...it is SUCH a house pet,....you know the one....the white with the brindle spot on the show side...yeah, THAT one, and her skirt was so tight, it made her butt look roughly the size of Texas". Then you get the inevitable next posting that says "Sorry, that was meant to go private" Oops, don't you look like quite the boob now! Then you get the sanctioning memo from the administrator of the list that such comments will not be tolerated and if it happens again, the perpetrator will be booted from the list! AHHHH, such shame and ignominity! Always entertaining, these newslists, and discussion groups! Join a few, have a laugh at someone else's expense, but beware! Know who you are responding to!!
