BlogWatching broadcast TV for more than 20 minutes will result in at least one advertisement for a drug you need to be taking or a health problem you may have "but might not even know it!" Clearly, we are a nation of potential health problems just waiting to happen. The only way to delay your inevitible sickness and/or death is to take the advertised drugs as often as recommended. Since I'm a sugar junkie, I'm clearly a high risk for diabetes. However, I took
this test that says otherwise. Unwilling to accept that I'm not at high risk for at least one major health problem I decided to ignore the results and continue my regiment of sugar in the hopes that I'll soon be dependant on insulin. Any volunteers willing to inject me in the ass?
For those of you not in "the know," I'll give you a helper course.
Google is dead. Long live
Boogle! Anybody who's anybody is using Boogle, don't get left behind.
Steve came over tonight for some Lego Mindstorm entertainment. We wound up
building the
Frankenbot, a sick and perverted vehicle that defied all structural engineering rules. Surprised it held together, we
let it loose downstairs to torment my cat. The sheer hideousness (and massive rear spoiler) prompted the cat to run for the safety of the basement immediately. Victorious, the Frankenbot
wandered around aimlessly. It was a
formidable machine but soon realized it had no real enemy and sadly
destroyed itself. Although the death of the Frankenbot was sad, it did entertain us for the better part of an hour, and proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that my cat is a whimp.
Last fall I came home to an entire side of my house covered with these little monsters. The next morning they were gone, or so I thought. Throughout the winter I spotted more and more boxelder bugs in various places around my house. I finally found a high concentration near my basement window, and pulled aside a board to reveal their lair. I quickly vacuumed about 80 of them and dumped them in the snow. I did this a few more times (yes there were that many) and they finally started to thin out. Thinking I had won, I forgot about them until about a week ago. Once again they are showing up in various places and this time I'm on a mission. Fortunately
this very informative site has some good ammunition for me to try. If the
GnomeCam cuts out in the next week it probably means they won.
I recently discovered the joy of ER Diagrams with
Visio 2003. With no artistic ability whatsoever I was able to create a representation of our server environment at work. Not satisfied with the number of icons I was able to use, I decided to create an overly detailed
diagram of my home network. And now you know how this page got to your screen.
Today I recieved a generous
gift from my associate
Duane. Out of respect for the gnome I decided to take a side shot, but I assure you he has a very healthy rear on full display. Now my
disturbing gnome has someone to keep him company. It's unfortunate my neighborhood has such a high gnome theft rate or I'd proudly display them all on my front porch for the world to enjoy.
Four inches of snow fell today, ironically 4 days before the official start of spring. I used to enjoy winter weather, and towards the end of summer I usually look forward to it. This winter started late and I have a feeling it's going to drag on. An associate of mine who resides 1200 miles south has been enticing me with tales of year round warm weather. The 4-5 months I lose each year to cold weather could be put to good use if I relocate. One can dream.

a dog can give. This was placed so perfectly it had to be captured in time.
Today is
Myrone's birthday, but unfortunately he
moved to California so I can't take him out to BoxBar for the occasion. Instead, I've decided to pay a few curb squirrels to dress up in bright orange jackets and knock on my door at various times today. If you see one on the
gnome cam you can relive the days of Myrone with me.
