Snowman! This morning I woke up to a 42°F day which makes for great packing snow. What's the best thing to do with packing snow? Fire snowballs at unsuspecting passers by of course, but building a gigantic retarded snowman is a close second (I'm the retard on the left). My goal was to make one larger than my inflatable one, but lifting 50lb snowballs without them disintegrating was beyond me, so I fell a few feet short. Lisa provided needed approval, and the Morlock promised equal opportunity violation for both snowmen. Enjoy the abomination I've created until it melts.

Evidently, Engadget read my recent blog post and decided to create Evaders for their comment system as well. They're calling them avatars but it's obvious they stole the idea from me. Nobody else comes up with this stuff. Stavos, co-creator of the evaders, is already pursuing legal action against them.
User Comments for 12-21-2007:
Seems like a nice complement.
outbytuesday
I'm consulting the creator who invented the "Evaders" name and prepping her with exciting football moments before she's sent into the bull pin with the Engadget crew. As a result Engadget has no chance.

With a constant barrage of 8800 hype from EternalOne, Duane, and Stavos, I finally found a good enough deal to justify a video card upgrade. I immediately put my 7600 GT on eBay to offset the cost, which promptly sold well before my 8800 GT arrived. While borrowing an old 7800 from EternalOne, a followup email indicating it would not ship till Jan 15, 2008 made me take the plunge and purchase another one at full price. While well below the three 8800 fanboys performance, I'm quite happy with the immense improvement, and await the day my second card brings me in line with the mega nerds.

Excellent choice, you'll love the new dx10 graphics eventhough dx9 users think it's just a bunch of hype.
stavos
what are all these numbers? I'm confused.
brian
Pay no attention to the meaning of these numbers, only that they are larger than the previous ones.
AtomicInternet
I like to look at the dark gra bars which are 3X longer then the light gray ones....

OK, who's got sloppy seconds to donate?? I need a PCI-E video card. I only have an on board Geforce 6100 and it sux balls.

Companion CubeToday I finally completed Portal, a full 8 days after Stavos and probably long after the rest of the world. Naturally, I'm obsessed with all things portal now, including desktop backgrounds and the end song, which I loop at work. I even started building the papercraft companion cube from the game, but fortunately it's complicated enough to possibly free me from my obsession.

Server In The House My obsession with Windows Home Server is well documented, so naturally I check the team blog regularly. After a long gap I finally checked it again today to find a post about the Stay at Home Server ad campaign. While the acting in the clips is horribly cheesy, I'll write it off as their attempt to reach the average consumer, which went horribly wrong. Fortunately the most amusing part doesn't have any actors to make you cringe; enjoy Mommy, Why Is There a Server In The House?
User Comments for 12-17-2007:
Because a majority of people are uneducated about computers I'm sure this still confuses them however at least it's at their level, gotta start from somewhere.... Sorry I'm in a PO mood I just finished a 10 hr day dealing with our HR people in making an Intranet site for work, I had to explain to them for 45mins what a "link" and how users will know it's a link because it's blue text with a underline.
Stavos
In related news, Steve "Senator" Kelly was arrested for going postal on several HR workers. One survivior commented that it was a "bloodbath" and that Steve kept hacking at peoples heads with a machete saying "do you get the link now bitch?"
MorlockPrime
LOL for a second there I thought you were Ron... You all look the same to me, Candians and Morlocks are both hairy
Stavos
One thing Microsoft doesn't do well--never has, in fact--is relate with the average consumer. MS takes a hardline approach that it's customer base is all-geek, and thus should "get" all the reasons you need their products. Apple on the other hand does that extremely well--and MS should take note and try something like that. Just take a look at how "untechnical" the Pc/Mac TV spots are.
brian
Those Pc/Mac TV spots are very obscured, and misleading. So a PC can only create spread sheets, not photo's or video edit, and can't network with other OS'? If anything they misinform the general public.
Stavos
Who the hell invited brian to make a legitimate comment about the post? You know I took a crap the other day and before I flushed, I thought I saw Stavos in the toilet. Stavos and turd look so alike.
MorlockPrime
Just to clarify, Stavos is just pretend turd, Brian is a real turd for ruining our comment fun.
MorlockPrime
I for one welcome my new pretend [turd] status, and will use it efficient as possible!
Stavos
Sounds like you're also welcoming your new bald Morlock overlords.

Snow A half-foot of snow today answered my question about global warming potentially ending big snowstorms. Drifts up to two feet were also a pleasant surprise. My hatred of winter is temporarily lifted when snow falls thanks to the light-reflective anti-SAD effect, and exponentially more exciting winter 4x4 driving. It also brings potential for more Yee Haw Sleddin which was missed last year.

Bleh. Have fun with that! And in parting, I leave you with: "Lionel coin bank lionel coin bank lionel coin bank save your money save your money save your money"

Snow can suck my fucking ass! I want everyone who likes snow to freeze into the arctic tundra hell from whence they came.
Pissed off Excelcier
SAD? Are you kidding me? What a joke, you're just a giant pansy because you don't like the cold. Who wants to build a snow fort in my back yard?

Yee Haw Sleddin and Morlock snow fort building temporally relive my frustration from the snow.

After the Morlocks holiday party, followed by a visit from Chase and the flatlanders last night, I decided to assemble the inflatable snowman to help keep the good times rolling. Lisa has often told me how much she enjoys my obnoxious decoration, and the Morlock even stopped by promising to violate it frequently while I was setting it up. Repeated violations make me wonder if I'll get a 6th year out of this $50 investment, but even a 5 year eyesore was well worth the money, especially with so many great memories.

Your snowman is mighty, now prepare for the winter snow storm which means prepare for Yee-Hawwin season!

The Morlock messaged me today with the news that Google Maps Street View had added our street to their image library. You can even move the camera angle to the ground and see the car that drove by taking the 360° images. I wasn't able to find anything displaying a date in the imagery, but since my truck is in the back and my Cougar is in the driveway I would place it somewhere around the time I was shoveling rock in July. Now that I'm officially famous I'll be signing autographs for $1 each.

Amazing coincidence is that I also found this exact same thing unrelated to reading this today!! I was at work looking something up and BAM "Streets View" lit up and my eyes did too. I then proceeded to waste a full hour playing with the damn thing around Michigan.
Excelcier
Bested! you beat me to my Google Street view post! www.detroitarchive.com
Stavos
Brad showed me that my place shows up on google streets, as well. Even better, my truck is in the driveway -- now if I was just outside smoking a cig at the time I would have been immortalized for life... :P

Quite right E1. Instead we're forced to visit http://atomicinternet.homeip.net/upload/071109192245.jpg in order to view your immortal picture.

Don't worry Chris, I've got a photo album full of pictures of me that I'm wrapping for Christmas...just for you. =)

Lisas obsession with Carcassone and a few other Xbox 360 arcade games has finally pushed my gamer points over 1,000. By beating various online challengers she has fully unlocked the game achievements, which also happens to be the only game we own that's fully unlocked. With phase 1 complete, and Lisa fully ensnared in online gaming, the next step is to gradually move her up to more challenging games until she's fully dedicated to unlocking achievements in my name. The final phase of course involving the sale of various game currency she earns on eBay. Like a chinese game sweatshop but in southern Michigan.

Thank you to everyone who helped celebrate the death of my 20s today. Now that I finally reached 3 decades I'm finding it's not so bad. As my sisters friend stated, turning 30 means you didn't die young, so I can now list that along with losing my hair and growing a gut as my accomplishments for the decade. Gifts were strictly forbidden but Stavos broke the rule with a Transformers Monopoly game. Lisa was exempt and bought me an Optimus Prime, two gnome shirts and an Optimus Prime blanket. The Transformers theme continued into her mega-party plan including an Optimus Prime cake and favors. Excessive jello shots rendered me incapable of stopping the party killer movie, but everything else went swimmingly. I know most of you won't speak to me again now that I'm officially old, but I appreciate you stopping by for one last visit before ex communicating me.
User Comments for 12-08-2007:
It's only a matter of time before you explode. However Candy and I had a blast! Once we turn 30 in acouple years we will be allowed to play Transformers Monopoly with you again.
Stavos
Ahh the Old Lloyd. My apologies for not making it out to your party. I shall make it up with a taco night.
MorlockPrime
Ummm... you totally forgot about us breaking the rules and buying you a transformers shirt!!! RUDE!!!
Excelcier
The gallery is proof that you were drunk as a German pope the entire evening. Woot.
