Snow also other stuff

As soon as I got on the road last Friday, snow decided to fall profusely. The only way I could see through the snow was to turn off my headlights and let daytime running lights light up the road and not the falling snow. In driver's ed. they tell you to not turn on the high beams when it's foggy, you shouldn't do it when it's snowing hard either. You'll see thousands of snow flakes rushing at you at 70mph. Although you should go try it next time, it's really fun to see. Just don't do it when there are other cars next to you. Also, don't reach into your pocket for your BlackBerry and take a picture while driving.

And now what I didn't like about the State of the Union Adress:

  1. Way to put blame on the congress and take focus off yourself.
  2. Terrorists don't "despise" freedom. Terrorism is the expression of one's freedom. Example
  3. Way to blame the ineptness of the government on the "empowerment" of citizens.
  4. That's an ugly tie.
  5. One year ago, people imagined that Iraq would be done.
  6. Way to give false hope to defeat Al Qaeda.
  7. If it were up to dubya, there'd be more troops in Iraq. "You will have all you need to protect our nation" means you will receive more reinforcements.
  8. More military spending! Hooray!
  9. Seems like the US is at the same point as they were back in 2001.
  10. Way to try to portray Iran as a totalitarian state. Iranians vote for their president and congress like Americans do.
  11. Buy crops from developing worlds but things made in USA are best? No?
  12. "...enrich uranium that could be used to make nuclear weapons..."
  13. Hiring preference for military spouses in the federal government? Good thing no one really does any real important work there.
  14. Laura Bush is scary looking.

IW I: Internetz Warz I


The Internetz fights the first e-war that pretty much united the entire series of tubes. This unprecedented conflict eclipses the magnitude in participants and stakes of any previous sckirmishes(e.g. eBaums). Scientology.org has been up and down all night long as Anonymous & Company got past Prolexic's DDoS protection to directly attack their web server.

Go Gawker!

THE Tom Cruise Video

I don't see what the big deal is about this video. I still love Tom Cruise. The Church of Scientology is trying to make Gawker take the video down but Gawker is not backing down. Way to stick it to them!

Interns Outting!

Went out last night to catch Charlie Wilson's War for $4.20, which is an acceptable price to pay for a movie, but not if I've seen it already. Damn peer pressure. It's not like I had anything to do at night apart from UO and watching TV. The movie was OK. Interesting characters don't make up for a snoozer of a storyline. The movie had no beginning and had a very unsatisfying end. It didn't feel like anything was actually accomplished during the movie. Afterwards, we went to the local pub at the deserted Kanata Centrum and found out from the waitress that there was in fact nothing to do in this city. Hooray!

Don't Do it Britney! It's the coward's way out!

BB Post

Got my BB this morning. Posting on it as we speak. The work environment is ok I guess. Though they only gave me a 17" LCD to work on which is way less than what I'm used to. Things around here move slower than what I got used to at a small company in the past, I have been waiting for a copy of MS Business Intelligence Studio for almost one day now and I won't expect it to get done today.
