So my friend Katie turned me on to this Montana group called Clintons Band and their music just rocks! They seem to be a mix of pop with a small blast of country influence and have a certain garage band feel.
Their lyrics have a sense of humor to them. Yes Katie, you are right – the Box of Wine song rocks! Thanks for introducing me to something new!
Month: June 2006
Things are getting accomplished!
It seems like this summer session is going by fast – heck, this year seems to be going by faster than I was expecting. A long time ago my father once said that as you get older time flies by quicker. He is so right on that one!
Even though this summer is flying by, I’m looking forward to doing some camping. It’s been a while since I’ve been camping. I’m hoping most everything is done my mid-July so I can seriously take some time off and go exploring. Lord knows by that point I’ll need a break from the computers.
This morning I jogged 2 miles while watching the FIFA World Cup match between the Switzerland vs. Togo. These soccer football matches seem a hell of a lot more interesting than the NBA Finals. What’s up with Dallas? They were up 2 games when they left for Miami, now they are losing the series 3-2. ARGH!
The reason cats rock!
Take this dogs!
Your Life to Music!
I saw this quiz on Katie’s blog and thought I’d take a crack at it! It’s pretty funny.
Put your music player on shuffle.
Press forward for each question.
Use the song title as the answer to the question even if they don’t make sense.

I hate not feeling well
Well, this is day 6 of being sick… Enough already! I have no taste or smell and yesterday I was running a fever. This is not the time for me to be sick. I still don’t know if it’s an allergy thing that turned into a sinus infection or what. *sigh*
The Computer Gods
Yes folks, there are such things as the computer gods. If you do something to piss them off, they let you know in the not so subtle way. As us techies well know, there is no such thing as pixie dust. These problems don’t go away on their own. For example, something that should take 10 minutes ends up taking a lot longer.
Well, I must have done something to really piss of the computer gods this week. A simple sysprep (which I have done many of times) is taking a lot longer than expected. I believe I have a ATA -> SATA issue going on. I’ve experienced this before with my computer upgrade from hell last month at home. I’ve tried those tricks I learned last month and that did not make any difference.
I guess I better find out what I need to sacrafice to please the computer gods. Any ideas?
‘Tis the season…
…for allergies! This has been my worst year yet since coming to Humboldt County in 1992. There’s definitely something in the air that I am now allergic to. It seems like everytime I go into Eureka, it gets set off more. On Saturday, I went to an outdoor wedding in Eureka and that was enough to finish me off. I’m taking my allergie meds twice a day and that doesn’t seem to be helping. I’ve been really run down since Sunday – I don’t know how I’m making it through the week to be honest. The sinus headaches/infection has made it hard to function. Also, when I start feeling this bad it bring on memories and feeling bad about things. Luckily I have my trusty cats Angel and Cocoa to keep me from going into a funk.
I have some new projects that I am working that include my beloved cats. You shall see soon enough. Me and my crazy ideas! The elgato project is on course and hopefully I’ll post some information soon on that.
As for now, I’m outta here. I’m going to go see if I can catch a glimpse of the governator. He’s flying into the airport this morning. Later!
I’m in amazement.
Since I restarted this blog a few months back, I have been constantly amazed with how solid WordPress is. I have used many different types of blogging software in the past such as Greymatter, Movable Type, b2Evolution, Livejournal, and of course the dreaded MySpace. None of these hold a candle in the wind to WordPress. I just finished the most simple upgrade process on this blog. Took a total of 2 minutes, and I’m running the latest code. Bravo, WordPress developers! You created the best blogging software out there.
Man Laws
Are you getting as sick of these Miller Lite Man Laws as I am? It’s bad enough seeing them on regular TV ads, but the last couple of weeks these ads have been saturated during NASCAR races. You know, those crappy commercials that star Burt Reynolds and the “Men of the Square Table”:

So being really frustrated with Miller Lite standing by Kurt Busch, I created my own man law on their site. I’m sure it’s been deleted by now, but hey… I had to say my peace:
