BlogThis weekend I did more than I usually do in three. Friday I went biking with Keith, then went to see
Terminator 3, which I thought was pretty good. Most of my friends said it sucked, which is usually a good thing since I go in expecting nothing and am usually pleasantly surprised. Saturday afternoon I went to
Cougar Extravaganza, an event organized by
Excelcier that involved driving a loop through downtown windsor and having a cookout at a local park. It turned out to be pretty fun. Saturday night Melissa and I went to
Duane and Gina's wedding shower. Sunday morning I had my SCCA Race in the GM Hamtramck assembly plant parking lot. Sunday evening we went to a
WNBA Shock game with my dad. A jam packed weekend and I survived it!
Staovs sent me a link that scolded my site for not being HTML 4.0 Certified. I admit, I have become lazy and missed a few ALT tags here and there, with the occasional extra closed tag from time to time. However, 5 minutes later and I'm once again
HTML 4.0 Certified according to the
World Wide Web Consortium. I was so proud of myself I even put their icon in the bottom right of the homepage. Take that!
Duane found a project called
GeoURL that uses old meta tags in HTML to generate a database relating locations of web servers (or their advertised location). The tag called geo.position is also known as the ICBM tag (as in inter-continental ballistic missle). Purely for this reason I've added it to this server (with the correct lat/long) and you can now click the
button to find other servers advertising their location near me. If you also want to have an ICBM tag (and thus be /<-r@d)
visit their add page for instructions.
My friend
Joseph works at a TV studio transmitting feed for various stations. I'm not exactly sure what he does, but it involves working at night and sleeping in the day. This unnatural cycle has finally caught up with him and now he can't sleep. Since he once
murdered my snowman, I fear he may become a zombie, or worse, a zombie that has "the gay" and again attack me out of rage. To prevent this horrible future from occuring, I've assigned Officer Gil Stebbins of the Winter Park police department (pictured here with my friend) to the case. Gil will assist Joseph in getting to sleep, and alert me if he spots Joseph heading my way (so I can protect myself). Good luck Joseph, and be careful.
My
girlfriend and I went to the
Great Lakes Bat Festival at Cranbrook. They had bat roosts, bat shows, and of course, bat merchandise. In addition to all the bats we walked around the museum and saw "Mars and the Worlds Beyond" in the planetarium, which only served to ignite my need for a powerful telescope. Fortunately
Stavos already has one so now I just need to steal it and I'm all set. The visit was topped off by an
animated T-rex display that was pretty well done.
Even though the weather did not approve, our
bonfire went ahead as planned. After the better part of an hour lighting newspaper and cardboard, we finally got enough wood going to sustain it. Eventually the rain also let up and there was much rejoicing. Many burned hot dogs and under-done burgers completed the event.
Next time somebody asks you to create something in less time than humanly possible, tell them this:
"Nine women can't make a baby in one month."
As
previously mentioned, I hate Honda's. However, my mom needed to borrow my truck since she is moving into a new house, so I swapped with her. I was planning on driving my
Cougar to work today, but since it might rain I figured I'd take the uninspired machine. To be fair, it is a hybrid-electric, which I have to admit is cool, but it's still a Honda. I just wanted to make it perfectly clear that I haven't gone insane, just temporarily.
Myrone left today for California. I helped him pack his U-haul and gave him a hug that put me under question. Always willing to lend a hand, he helped me get my
Cougar to where it is now more than anyone else, including ground effects and my
supercharger. He was always willing to tag along for car shows and autocross events, and stopped by to make me laugh from time to time. I'll miss his random visits and unique sense of humor. While we'll still talk and chat online, life will be a little less interesting without Myrone nearby. Good luck in California, and thanks for being such a great friend, both now and in the future.
