The last two nights at my new house I've spent in the master bedroom (first two were on the living room floor) and both of those nights I hear a sound similar to that water pipes make when recoiling from a valve shutting off quickly. The strange thing about the noise is that it happens almost exactly every 55 seconds. I never heard the noise in the living room, and when I stand in the hallway waiting for it I never hear it. It only comes through clear when I'm in the bedroom. The predictability makes me think it's something automated, but none of my appliances are on when I hear the noise. Sometimes it sounds far away like it's from an industrial complex nearby (there are at least three in the area) but other times it sounds like it's coming direct from the walls. It's a known fact that we have a mouse problem so maybe there is a mathmatical genius mouse trying to tell me something. More updates as my research continues.

Time to hire a pest and Ghost exterminator. Who you gonna call!?? Ah yes I’m a walking time capsule for 80's entertainment. I still haven't lost it!
Punk Rocker Stavos
what about the furnance? by the layout of the house from that hallway and bedroom you would be standing almost above it.
Zac
Good call Zac, I finally did some more research and I believe it's a water line leaking onto the an air duct. It only happens after I've had the hot water turned on so it might just be condensation. more on this as it develops.

I have 4 Gmail invites left and everyone I talk to either has one or doesn't care for one. I was going to e-bay them but they're only going for $1 now and it's just not worth it. If you can demonstrate your worthiness I'll shoot one your way. Just email atomicinternet@gmail.com and tell me your entire family will be wiped out by the plauge if I don't send you a gmail invitation or something to that effect. Even Enorym loves Gmail, so you know it has to be good. He was quoted as saying "Oh my god, this is awesome!"

I have one already but i'll take another for my other split personality. They don't get along very well and sharing email accounts.... well you can see the problem. Dude shut the hell up!
Steve & Stavos
Yahoo email is better anyway. Yahoo is just the best. They have so much more to offer.
tim
Yahoo was in it's prime when the internet took off with windows 95 and it was just an easy name to remember. Now Google is so powerful that even Yahoo used it as a search engine for awhile till they finally created their own, after ripping off Google’s products. Yahoo was a stepping stone for the people to leap out of AOL and use just IE, or Netscape browsers, however it's just that a out of date stone.
Stavos
Do your research. Yahoo used to own part of google. Google is arrogant. Yahoo has news searches, a messanger, there are countless things. Then Yahoo sold off its part of Google and operate as the leader in the online world.
tim
Google has newer, better Idea's. Making it the perfect homepage with very little to download. No ads less text. It does what it's intended to do. search that’s all. The images were solely designed by Google staff, along with other innovative technology's such as the Google tool bar which contains a popup blocker. Now they created a email service that can support 1gig of storage opposed to the 100mb yahoo has. and besides Google can search more sites then yahoo, msn, Netscape, and AltaVista put together. Trust me I should know I’m a web Designer :)
Stavos
I TRUST NO ONE BUT YAHOO! Yahoo's toolbar has popup blocker AND spyware protection. Also, it came out before Google's crappy toolbar. All the search engines find the same website. I don't need 10 million results. Who has time for that?! I want live scores and up to the minute news with RSS feeds. I need movie box office results, weather, stock quotes NOW! GOOGLE SUCKS!
tim
I find your lack of faith in Google disturbing.... Google will own and be the Internet and all the Yahoo users will become slaves to google and be foreced to power google by running on a giant hampster wheel! YAHOO BLOWS!
Stavos
We'll see. Google doesn't have what I need, plain and simple. You'll be stuck rowing the oars of Yahoo's slave ship you FIEND.
tim
That sure did take you awhile to type that little sentence... Was Yahoo slowing down when you tried to look up the word "FIEND"?
Stavos
I issue a challange! 3 days you will not use google or its toolbar. You will only use yahoo. Will you take the yahoo challenge?
tim
Only if you take the Google extravaganza! And use Google for 3 day's and nothing else. No yahoo mail no yahoo tool bar or search engine.
Stavos
We need a moderator. We will speak to Brad about it!
tim
I now fear you both, my moderation would be ineffective.

Rating: 3 - Link to this Article 10-23-2004 The Big Move View Webcam for 10-23-2004 1 COMMENT
Today was the big move from my old house to my new one, henceforth referred to "Beta" and "Alpha" respectively. The entire Laura clan (Frank, Frank, Carolyn, Laura, Sam, and of course Missy) moved all my appliances and couches. I am also fortunate to have awesome friends, specifically Ron, Duane, Steve, Keith and Lindsay, Zack, Jaged and Lomar and Mrs. Lomar who also helped out. All this while my dad painted Alpha. I'm thorougly spoiled rotten. Alpha is by far larger than Beta, but I have so much crap I've almost filled it and I only have 85% of my stuff moved. I'm theorizing Beta has a molecular densifier that shrunk each item as it came in the door, returning to full size once it exited the house. My to do list is gigantic but fortunately winter is coming and I'm flat broke so my free time has nowhere else to go. I had a great time moving and I hope all aforementioned members of the moving parted enjoyed themselves as well. It was so much fun I think now I'll move back to Beta just for kicks!

Rating: 3 - Link to this Article 10-22-2004 My Trip in the Ford GT View Webcam for 10-22-2004 2 COMMENTS
While picking up a van for my moving day from his work, my father said "Let's go check out the GT". We drive over to the part of Wixom Assembly that is assembling the vehicle and when I walk in it's like something out of a movie. No less than 30 GT's were waiting for final inspection/delivery in the building. I quickly prevented myself from soiling my pants and started to inspect the one closest to me. Two coolant resevoirs (one for intercooler) and a giant roots charger greeted me in the rear. I introduced myself to them both and proceeded to meet the giant 315/40ZR19 rear tires. After much introduction my father informed me that I would be going on the pre-delivery test drive with a technician. Again I prevented a soilage and met the test driver who had driven them on a test track doing four wheel drifts around corners. The comment sheet for the test drive had a simple messsage: "Ford GT Test Loop: ~25 miles. Obey all traffic laws and be courteous" Unfortunately the first 10-15 miles the engine does not go into boost (for break-in) so the first few miles were spent watching everyone else stare at the car. After that the test driver informed me we were going to do a "hose blowoff test" at which point I experienced a gravity shift toward the rear and noticed the boost gauge instantly spring to 15+ psi from 3,000 RPM up to the 9,000 redline. We took some turns and returned to the plant, but at this point I required new pants so I thanked the driver and quickly exited the building. Almost ironically this was the one time I did not have my camera, so next time I head to the plant I will definatley be armed with photographic devices. Now if I can just sell both my houses I might be able to get one!

I revved at a Ford GT on I-94 this summer. The Ford test driver just smirked and shook his head at me

Thank you for the elaborate description of your experience. Now I too have to change my pants.

Rating: 3 - Link to this Article 10-21-2004 Mr. and Mrs. Steven Kelley View Webcam for 10-21-2004 1 COMMENT
As mentioned by my associate, the recent marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Steven Kelley may result in a situation where you will be unsure how to address the newly married couple. This may introduce an uncomfortable or awkward moment while you search for the proper term to use. This informative update is intended to prevent such a situation and educate you on the proper protocol. With regards to Mr. Kelley, you may continue to address him as "Steve," "Dr. Kelley," "Kellster," or "That guy who owes me $20." With regards to Mrs. Steven Kelley, you may only address her as "Mrs. Steven Kelley." Do not communicate with her using any other identifier or shorthand. Failure to follow these rules will result in a serious faux pas that may alienate you from the couple. Spread the word.

Frost Warning Today my frost warning light came on in my Cougar meaning the temperature was below 42 fahrenheit. The last time this light came on it kicked off 5 long months of freezing weather. With this spring being the rainiest since 1912 I already feel robbed of my spring/summer and now with the cold weather digging it's claws into Michigan I feel cheated. I just hope it stays above freezing long enough for me to move into my new house. Hopefully a heated garage will help me cope with the depressing winter ahead.

Missy got free tickets to Cedar Pointe in a pop bottle from the vending machine at work a few months ago. Little did we know it would take this long to get around to going. We went with Ron, Jen, Boris and Radika with an average temperature of 40 degrees and winds so high that some of the rides were closed. Unfortunately this included Raptor (my favorite ride) and Top Thrill Dragster along with a few other lesser-known rides. The rides that were open either had a very long line or no line at all. There didn't appear to be any method to the madness either. Blue Streak had an hour long wait, but Iron Dragon had no wait at all. We decided to hit all the rides with no lines which of course included Disaster Transport, formerly known as Avalanche Run (then covered and renamed) so I introduced Ron and Jen to the joys of screaming "Disaster" on the ridiculously lame ride. On the plus side I rode Wicked Twister for the first time ever, and it is by far the best ride in the park. Nowhere else can you alternate looking straight at the ground and straight at the sky while weightless. Here are the pics from our trip.

DISASTER!
Missy
Was it really a disaster? Didn't you have fun at all? See the good through the bad or the world will never survive. Raptor was always my favorite ride too.

Today my work took us to Dave and Busters for a break. I think there was about five minutes or so when I wasn't laughing. It's amazing how much fun you can have with people you see everyday when you're not required to get anything done. It's definatley a unique group of people I work with and we all seem to get along great.
