• Got an e-mail promising $7.5M from the UN to anyone who’s been scammed. Just send personal info to W. Africa. How stupid do they think I am? #
• RT @GeekMommy: Okay, seriously, Adam Savage (MythBusters) couldn’t have chosen a more perfect Twitter handle – @donttrythis just rings true! #
• Tweeting Mythbusters. Whoda Thunk it? #
• It’s going to be a long night. NHL has already woken up 3 times: 1x w/ a nightmare, 1x to get a drink, & 1x because JSL made too much noise. #
• JSL, meanwhile refused to go to sleep until nearly 9. Then fussed in his crib before waking up & waking up his brother. #

• William Shatner tweets? @WilliamShatner #
• Got an e-mail that begins: “I am calling about…” Um… You aren’t calling. You’re e-mailing. Tough to confuse the two. #
• This morning, NHL didn’t know our current Pres is. As I tucked him into bed he told me he knows who it is: George Bushington! #
• Woah. Almost forgot to work out. Time to clear some space and generate a WiiFit Workout http://www.techydad.com/WiiFitWorkout/ #WiiFit #
• #WiiFit workout done. Pushed myself to 53 minutes today. #
• Wow. Only 24 followers to go before I hit 200. #
• RT @historicaltweet: Obama’s Historical Tweets http://bit.ly/SQiK <== My Historical Tweet idea made it! Cool! #
• Sheesh. Someone in one of my forums hung his flag upside down last night & now is putting it away for 4 yrs to protest Obama being sworn in. #
• It’s way past time to stop the campaign feuding. Obama won the election & we should get behind him regardless of who you voted for. #
• Besides, wouldn’t it be better for America if Obama’s a good Pres & he is proven wrong than if he’s proven right & Obama’s an awful Pres? #
• Ditching the Hulu feed & going to try CNN. Too much fluff there for my taste. #
• The band playing & announcer make this seem like a sporting event. “Ladies and Gentleman, your home team: the House of Representatives!” #
• That announcer sounds like the “Let’s Get Ready To Rumble” guy. #
• “Ladies and Gentleman. In this corner, the President Elect. In that corner Chief Justice Roberts. LLLLLLLet’s get ready to RUMBLLLEEEEE!” #
• Seriously, who *IS* that announcer? Weird to hear a voice that might normally announce sports/wresting announcing political figures. #
• Can’t wait to hear how the “Rumble” announcer will announce Obama. “Ladies and gentleman. Your President Elect: BARACK OOOOOOOBAMA!!!!” #
• Rumble Announcer tripped over his words. How embarrassing would it be if he did that w/ Barack? #

• …and now the audio is breaking. The Internet is breaking!!!! #
• Quoting the Shma #
• Shma Y’Israel Adonoi Elohainu Adonoi Echad = Here O’Israel. The Lord our God. The Lord is One. #
• And now for the main event! #
• Should I stand if I’m sitting in my office? What’s the inaugural etiquette? #
• Constitutionally, Obama’s Presidency started at noon. So Bush isn’t Pres anymore but Obama’s not sworn in yet. Who’s our Pres??!!! #
• Here we go…… #
• Yikes! He’s messing it up. Nerves must be awful at this moment. #
• We’re DVRing this. I’ll need to watch it again tonight when my video won’t lock up. #
• Small shots of the crowd, but holy smokes are there a lot of people there! #
• Wow. People on statues. People on walls. People on top of people on top of people. It’s just a sea of people out there. #
• More inaugural etiquette. Do I rise in my office? #
• WhiteHouse.gov will publish all non-emergency legislation to the website for 5 days & allow comments before the Pres signs it. Cool! #
• Link about the changes coming to WhiteHouse.gov: http://tinyurl.com/6tdmhy #
• RT @jquery: The new White House website (http://ping.fm/8vE8H) uses jQuery <== jQuery. JavaScript powered change you can believe in. 😉 #
• W gets on the helicopter. #
• Closing the streaming cast now. Time to get back to work. #
• Wait. Obama’s left-handed? How did I not know that? Hooray for us lefties! #
• To all my left-handed twitterfolk out there, remember: Left-handers are the only ones in their right minds. 😉 #
• Wishes Adobe Air didn’t open 2 tabs in FireFox every time I clicked a link in Twhirl. It’s just annoying. #
• RT @dhlawrencexvii: Ah…thanks, Ben Shields! The announcer today is a Navy man: http://www.dailymail.com/News/inaug09/200901190401 #
• Just realized I can’t make my planned meal for tomorrow night. Don’t have a pan that goes from stove to oven. Got to come up with alt plan. #
• Morning Twitterers. #
• I turned in early to catch up on sleep but JSL sabatoged my effort by waking up, coming into our bed, & refusing to go back to sleep. #
• Driving into work today, I noticed my Emergency Brake light was on. Brake wasn’t on though. Simple sensor failure or bigger problem? #
• My car already has 1 sensor failure. The Seatbelt Unbuckled light blinks regardless of seatbelt status. Cheaper to let it blink than fix it. #
• I take a 32oz Nalgene bottle w/ me everyday. Down to 8oz already. Thank goodness for the water cooler in my dept. (24oz in 1.5hrs? Yikes.) #
• RT @elijahmanor: Check out “40 Useful Print-Ready Cheat Sheet For Web Developers” #tech #web http://bit.ly/PVbY #

• RT @OwenC: Let me summarize the last 24 hours for the PC Geeks: BUSH = CTRL + X, OBAMA = CTRL + N. (via @jowyang) #
• How many oz of water should one drink per day? I’m up to 64oz. Might finish off another 32oz by day’s end. Maybe I’ll shoot for 100oz. #
• This site says Daily Water intake = 1/2 oz of water per pound of body weight if you’re not active. So I need 100oz per day. #
• Oops. Forgot the site’s URL: http://www.naturodoc.com/library/nutrition/water.htm #
• Win Little Debbie 100 calorie snacks: http://tinyurl.com/b6hboj #
• Brake light was on on the way home too. Google search shows I need to check my brake fluid. If that’s fine, my brakes need to be examined. #
• The website I wound up at explaining about the brake light: http://tinyurl.com/c5u234 #
• Trying to get the WiiFit Workout Generator to work with my site’s header. #
• This isn’t working right. Giving up for now to work out. Might need to make some kind of custom header for non-blog pages. #
• My WiiFit age is 26. I’m 7 years younger than I really am! #
• Got my Wii stamp on #WiiFIt. #
• #WiiFit Free Step for 20 minutes. 2,000 steps. #
• #WiiFit workout at 48 minutes, can I hit 1 hour? #
• Got the Silver Piggy bank! #WiiFit #
• A 64 minute #WiiFit workout. A new personal best. That should burn some calories. Burn, calories, burn! #
• Way past time for some sleep. Hope I can, though. JSL is already in our bed & I drank a gallon of water today. #
• Morning all. Hope your day’s off to a better start than mine. Tried to check the brake fluid level in my car, but the hood wouldn’t open. #
• Dropped NHL at school, left my stuff at home (in case they needed to take my car in) & brought it into the service shop. #
• Of course, brake light decided to work properly then. Got my stuff at home, went to work, realized I left my shoes at home. Only have boots. #
• Computer doesn’t want to respond today. Another sign I should’ve stayed in bed today. Maybe things will go better after I get breakfast. #
• 2 new AA’s put in Canon A570IS. 1 video taken. 2 days later camera says they’re dying. Checked & they’re fine. Camera’s sensor is messed up. #
• …And now FireFox decided to bomb out on me. Can I crawl under my desk and just hide there till 4:30? #
• I really wish Novell’s iChain would forward on detailed HTTP 500 errors instead of showing a generic error page. Makes debugging difficult. #
• Which of my FireFox extensions is insisting on opening my.yahoo.com every time FireFox starts? That’s definitely not my home page. #
• Why is it when my motivation to get work done increases, my computer decides that’s a good time to slow down? #
• The “Gaston” song from Beauty and the Beast keeps playing in my head. NHL watched B&tB last weekend, why is the song playing in my head now? #
• Playing songs I bought from AmieStreet.com to exorcise “Gaston” from my head. #

• I have 196 followers now. Wonder who will be #200? #
• I have (oh god) a plan! (anyone get the reference?) Going to show NHL Food Network shows to try to expand his culinary horizons. #
• Already showed him Good Eats. After seeing the Edamame episode, he requested that I DVR tonight’s Popcorn and Pretzel episodes. #
• #WiiFit workout generated & almost set to begin tonight’s workout. The workout has both Free Step & Free Run. Should be interesting. #
• Yikes. A 69 minutes #WiiFit workout. Am I nuts? (Well, maybe, but still….) #
• Way too tired to be in work this morning and yet here I am. #
• The AC was shut off so I’m not freezing. Unfortunately, this means the ants are back. I shouldn’t have to choose between ants & freezing! #

• WiiFit Workout Generator now using #jQueryUI Tabs. Works better than my “fly-out” code. Might have to redo the CSS though. http://is.gd/h07v #
• Pizza Hut commercial advertises 12 pounds of pasta as serving “4 or more.” Really? 3 pounds of pasta is a serving? #
• Got a set of ankle/wrist weights to help kick my WiiFit workouts to the next level. #
• Speaking of which, I think #WiiFit isn’t burning fat so much as building muscle. Formally “jiggly” areas of my body seem to be firming up. #
• NHL just woke up saying “My coughs don’t sound good.” Sounds like he’s getting sick. Croup-y cough. Oh joy. #
• #WiiFit Workout Generator styles updated. Magic Tree House book wisdom copied for a future post. Time for bed. Night all! #

• I’m exhausted this morning. Got to bed late, then NHL woke up which woke up JSL. Then NHL. Then JSL. etc. Only got about 3.5 hrs of sleep. #
• To make matters worse, the AC was shut off & the ants are back. I shouldn’t have to choose between ants & being frozen out of my office. #
• Shoot. Forgot we have a staff meeting today. Lunch is going to be served, but I brought my lunch. #
• Might not take the served lunch anyway. It’s going to be pizza & that’s high points. #

• 2 massive searches across our code to check for jQuery 1.3 compatibility issues are slowing my computer down to a crawl. #
• Curse you jQuery Team for coming out with must-have new features! #
• Looks like it’s official. My in-laws’ will be joining us at Disney World. I’m fine with it. Disney World is big enough for both of us. #
• Just because we’re there at the same time doesn’t mean we *HAVE* to do everything together. #
• So far I have a 8 point surplus. 15 points if you count Activity Points. #
• It’s a race. Long running text search to check for jQuery compatibility vs. The Work Day. Which will end first? #
• Got my WiiFit Workout Generator functional. Now I just need to work on the styling to make it look nice. #
• Ok, almost time to do my WiiFit workout. The Generator’s not ready yet, but I can still use it to generate tonight’s workout. #
• Last night’s workout was great. My WiiFit Workout Generator (coming soon) took all the guesswork out of which exercise to do next. #
• Instead of sitting around between exercises trying to choose the next one, I just charged ahead and kept my heartrate up. #
• SC is trying to pass a bill that would make the use of profanity in public a felony. http://is.gd/fQAK Good luck with that! #
• SC’s bill includes publishing items containing profanity or of an “indecent nature.” Publish a book that contains a curse word & go to jail. #
• More on the SC anti-profanity bill. It was submitted by 1 senator (Robert Ford) who keeps submitting the same thing over & over. #
• It never passes. Moveover, this senator has ZERO general bills passed on which he’s the primary sponsor. #
• In other words, he’s a nut & the anti-profanity bill has no chance of getting passed. #
• Why must my computer freeze up when I feel the most productive? #
• Vista sales must be low. Just got an e-mail from Tiger Direct offering me a 500GB HD if I buy Vista. No thanks though. #

• Bed time. Weekend is over already. Why can’t we have 5 day weekends and 2 day work weeks? #
• Ants are back. Worse than before. They’re all over my office floor including where I sit. They’re in my co-worker’s office. #
• I called housekeeping 20 min ago and no response so far. We’ll see how long it takes them. If it gets to 1 hr, I’m going to call back. #
• *Great* start to day. 1st ice everywhere. Almost slipped & fell. Next, ants. Then computer logged off & I lost FF session/all my open tabs. #
• Office vacuumed. That should keep the ants at bay for a little while. No doubt there are ant-reinforcements waiting to march in, though. #
• Ok, I needed a laugh. Thanks Stone Soup!!! http://www.gocomics.com/stonesoup/2009/01/05 #
• Interesting. I tried to purposefully go to the fake twitter login page (just to see it). Site Advisor blocked it for being a phishing page. #
• Then, when I bypassed Site Advisor, my office’s web filter blocked it as a phishing site. (Duh!) Nice job by both Site Advisor & Websense. #
• Twitter Phishers coming from China? Access-Logins.com (the phishy domain name) is registered to zhang xiaohu in Hunan, CN. #

• My WiiFit age is…. 24!!! I rocked those tests. I’m a whole 9 years younger. 🙂 #
• Taking a couple minute break in my workout. Up to 41 minutes, but my legs felt like jelly on that last one. #
• Not only am I working out, but I’m gathering data for a WiiFit web app. #
• Did 47 mins of workouts. I’m going to put away the WiiFit & yoga mat & then head to bed. If my legs will carry me. Maybe I can crawl there. #
• Body doesn’t want to move this morning. Could I have overdone my workout? [bugs_bunny]mmmmm…… Could be.[/bugs_bunny] #
• Another morning spent huddled over my space heater to warm up. Turning the AC full-blast keeps the ants under control it seems. #
• What a choice: freeze myself or be overrun with ants. #
• Awful law to be passed in New Zealand. If you’re accused of copyright infringement/sharing files, your Internet is disconnected. #

• Working on a blog post about it and I wanted to link to some other articles on the subject. #
• Found this while looking for breastfeeding photos that Facebook banned: http://is.gd/e8EP None look indecent or sexual in any way to me. #
• Goodnight. Need some sleep to recharge and refocus my mind. (Here’s a hint: Never try to write a blog post while exhausted! 😉 ) #
• Got into work ok. Saved some URLs in my draft post as refreshing would surely trigger work’s filter. Breastfeeding pics considered NSFW. #
• The Ant-Slayer is here. Of course, with the freeze-out, I haven’t seen a single ant today. #
• Is wondering how much Verizon charges for mobile web use. Probably more than Disney does for Internet use. #
• To answer my own question on Verizon Wireless mobile web use, it’s billed by the MB, rounded up, at $1.99/MB #
• A day of Disney World Internet costs $10. That’s 5MB of Verizon Wireless Internet usage. We could easily hit that. #
• Plus, our cell phone would be tough to use for browsing. (Not a smartphone, just a LG 8350.) #
• Need to find out whether we could get Disney Internet for some days and not others. #
• Asked the office’s Resident Disney Expert and you *can* turn on Disney World Internet Access for some days & not others. #
• Going to test wife’s camera’s batteries w/ a voltage meter at work tomorrow. Are batteries are really drained or is camera’s sensor wrong? #
• I like big butts & I cannot lie. All you other brothers can’t deny. They’re healthy! … Wait, that’s not how it goes? http://is.gd/eLJI #
• Working on my Facebook/Breastfeeding controversy post. My problem now isn’t rambling, but that I have a lot to cover. The post is too long. #
• Think I’m going to break it up into parts. #
• Ok, you know the country is in trouble when the Porn Industry needs a federal bailout: http://is.gd/eNPf #
• Rethought breaking up the article. Going back to single article format. Almost done with it too. #
• FF went back a page & I lost some of my Facebook/Breastfeeding post. Retyped it & almost done now. #
• Think I’m going to turn in rather than complete it now, however. Getting really tired and hard to think straight. Night all! #
• Morning all! Ant-Slayer was her yesterday, put down ant-bait, so of course tons of ants greeted me this morning. #
• RT @TheDisneyBlog: The cast of Disney ABC’s Pushing Daisies is on Twitter – http://is.gd/eRHn – Is it too late to save the show? #
• Trying to shake off sleepiness and get some work done. #
• SQL Server is down here which means much of my development work can’t be done. ARGH! #
• 121 days until Disney World, 121 days. You take one down, pass it around…. #
• RT @OwenC: Looks like Twitter had a “Delivery Delay” glitch they fixed yesterday: http://status.twitter.com/ Still seems whaled to me #
• Calling all Pushing Daisies Tweeters! Tweet @abcinnercircle “Please bring back Pushing Daisies” #pushingdaisies #
• Update: Calling all Pushing Daisies Fans! Tweet “@abcinnercircle Please bring back Pushing Daisies #pushingdaisies” (leave out the quotes) #
• Finally finished my Facebook/Breastfeeding Controversy: A Dad’s Perspective post: http://www.techydad.com/?p=286 #
• Forgot to work out last night thanks to writing my blog post ( http://www.techydad.com/?p=286 ). Got to make it up today w/ a 45min workout. #
• WiiFit Workout done. 45 minutes of exercise goodness partially interrupted by JSL waking up. #
• Rumbling tummy is insisting on a midnight snack, but I’m going to ignore it & instead drink some water before headed to bed. Goodnight all! #
• QOTD: “We have to do it in the Facebook, with the Twittering, the different technology that young people are using today.” http://is.gd/eHWN #
• Have you read “The Facebook/Breastfeeding Controversy: A Dad’s Perspective” yet? http://www.techydad.com/?p=286 #
• Facebook’s Code Of Conduct ( http://is.gd/eZdL ): “you may not post or share Content that is … obscene, pornographic or sexually explicit” #
• Breastfeeding isn’t obscene. It isn’t pornographic & it certainly isn’t sexually explicit. #
• Some “barely there” bikinis show more breast than breastfeeding pics do. #
• Can hardly keep my eyes open today. Freezing cold in my office & being huddled over the space heater isn’t helping. #
• Is wondering if anyone would notice if I dozed off for a bit. My office door is closed thanks to the AC & I’m way in the back. #
• Brother-in-law visiting & asked us to bring the Wii/WiiFit to my in-law’s house. Haven’t transported it before. Any Wii Transport tips? #
• TweetBack plugin for WordPress looks interesting. I might just try it out http://is.gd/eY1S #
• Wonder how automated Facebook’s banning procedures are. If I marked a scenery or topless guy photo as obscene would it be taken down? #
• Is there any way to change what website Twhirl opens hash tags in? HashTags.org keeps giving 503 Service unavailable. #
• Man did I overeat today. Why is it when I go to my in-laws’ house I lose all willpower? (Not their fault, mind you.) #
• Definitely going to need my WiiFit workout tonight #
• The WiiFit Plank is so not worth it. I spend 30 tortuous seconds doing it & only get 1 WiiFit minute credit? #
• Ok, I know it was only a half minute workout but still it’s a tough one. #
• WiiFit workout done. 47 minutes put in. Now to burn a photo-CD for my BIL & SIL. Oh yeah. And go to bed sometime before 1am. #

• WiiFit Workout time (aka 10:30) rapidly approaching. Trying to finish a blog post before I break for my workout. #
• Blog post done. Time to clean up my WiiFit workout area (aka the living room aka the kids’ playroom) and get into some workout clothes. #
• 23 minutes into my WiiFit workout. Think I’ll try for 45 minutes this time. #
• 33 minutes down now. Only 12 more minutes for my WiiFit workout. Done with Yoga and Strength Training. Onto Aerobics and Balance Games. #
• WiiFit workout done. 45 minute mark reached. Body exhausted but need some cool down time before I head to sleep. #
• Perfect time to upgrade @TheAngelForever’s blog to WordPress 2.7! #
• Last part of my wife’s blog upgrade is in progress. With any luck, it’ll be done in a few minutes. #
• Hungry… need a midnight snack. Something non-fattening. Going to raid the Rice Krispies. *YUM* #
• Ok, decided on Banana instead of the cereal. Still have 400 files left in the upload queue. #
• Little guy woke up. He’s in our bed now. #
• As for me, my wife’s WordPress upgrade is complete, so I’m headed to sleep. It’s 1am here & I need to wake up at 6:30am. Night Tweetsville! #
• Every morning I make myself oatmeal in a paper bowl. I’m thinking I should be green & use a non-disposable bowl. #
• On the other hand, I’d need to wash it out in the bathroom sink after each use. Not sure how sanitary that would be. What do you think? #
• Have you ever flown with an almost 2 year old? Did you buy your child a seat or just put the child on your lap? (Our flight would be 3 hrs.) #
• How much productivity do I lose because I need to wait for apps to load & because my system locks up randomly? #
• Ew Ew Ew!!! My office has ANTS! #
• I’ve employed chemical warfare in my ant battle. Sprayed Lysol by the door. Kills some ants, creates a barrier, & ruins their scent trail. #
• Doesn’t kill the ants in my office, but hopefully housekeeping will be here soon with a vacuum. #
• It’s lunch time *stomp* & I’m hungry *stomp* but I really *stompity stomp* don’t want to *stomp* eat here. Gee, I wonder *stomp stomp* why? #
• I know I need to lose weight, but employing ants to make me lose my appetite? I do *NOT* recommend the “Infested With Ants” diet plan. #
• Chemical attack still keeping ants out of my office. 1 ant is wandering by my door. He moves in & stops like a wall’s in his way. Go Lysol! #
• Lysol seems to be wearing off. I guess it has a lifespan of about an hour. Time to reapply? #
• Called housekeeping to find out what the hold up was on the ant-cleanup crew. Got voice-mail. *GRRRR* #
• Is wondering how I could capture as many ants as possible for release in Housekeeping’s department. #
• Was thinking of having a snack. Not going to have my (sugary sweet) orange with these ants around. (I’m not fixated on them or anything.) #
• Retweeting @BuildingCamelot: Most Useful Web Applications for 2008 http://tinyurl.com/89zo6v <=== Going to have to try some of these out. #
• My boss found someone from housekeeping. He came armed with a squirt bottle and paper towels. I swear I heard the ants laughing. #
• Thinking of Lysol-bombing my carpet as I leave to kill as many ants as possible & to give the fumes 16 hours to fade. #
• Fell asleep getting JSL to settle. Now I’m exhausted. Need to find a way to wake up so that I can work out in 40 minutes. #
• Thinking of making some popcorn using our Whirly Pop. Sounds good but not sure if I’m up to standing by the stove for 10 minutes. #
• Wow. WiiFit Workout time snuck up on me. Got to get ready! #
• Woohoo! 45 minutes on WiiFit done. Now to put away the balance board/yoga mat and clean up dishes from dinner #
• There needs to be a web app PlanMyDisneyVacation.com would let you enter the day, select the park, & would list the rides/eateries avail. #
• One of my co-workers was talking about leaving early tomorrow (not to me). Wonder if they’ll all leave & not tell me I can leave also again. #
• Ok, time for bed now. Need some sleep before I wake up for work in 5 1/2 hours #
• Anyone know of a good (inexpensive) set of ankle/wrist weights? I’m thinking that might help me burn more calories during my WiiFit workout. #
• Uh oh. Time Warner customers might lost Viacom channels because Viacom wants programming rate increases of 22%-36% per channel. #
• Affected channels are: Comedy Central, CMT: Pure Country, Logo, Palladia, MTV, MTV 2, MTV Hits, MTV Jams, MTV Tr3s, Nickelodeon, Noggin, … #
• … Nick 2, Nicktoons, Spike, The N, TV Land, VH1, VH1 Classic, and VH1 Soul. #
• Not Noggin!!! They can’t take Noggin away from us!!! Do they know the 5-year-old tantrums that will result? Thank goodness for the DVR! #
• Just realized that it’s almost 10am and I still didn’t eat breakfast. *THAT’S* why I feel so hungry!!! #
• Housekeeping came up, promised to vacuum my office, and put down some ant bait/poison. #
• Still haven’t seen any ants in my office though a few were loitering just outside it. Much less ants about today also. #
• My car is quite old & might need to be replaced soon. Just for informational purposes, I ran a CarConsult on CarZen.com: http://is.gd/eiyP #
• RT @TheAngelForever: RT @MsmarTWC: TWC’s CEO released an official statement about the Viacom dispute: http://is.gd/eirX Please retweet! #

• Yikes! It’s 10:50. I completely lost track of time. Need to do my WiiFit workout now. #
• Ugh… Never attempting WiiFit’s 90 second Plank again. It’s just too much for my poor, out-of-shape body. x-( #
• WiiFit Workout done! 45 minutes done 3 times so far this week. #
• Rats. Someone twittered a top 10 list that included a video conversion website. I wanted to give it a try, so I kept the tab open. #
• Only problem is that the tab was closed at one point. Now I don’t know what the site was. Sound familiar to anyone? #

• Slashdot article about Facebook & MySpace banning nursing babies photos. http://is.gd/epvB Do I see a mom invasion of Slashdot pending? 😉 #
• Sheesh. Someone on /. is insisting that some women “continue to breast feed for their own physical enjoyment.” #
• He seems to think that they should be arrested for child molestation. There are too many idiots out there. #
• Another guy tried to equate breastfeeding & smoking. Unless the woman’s breastmilk squirts across the room into your eyes, it’s not valid. #
• Funniest comment yet on the /.: “I like to point out that jebus would have not survived infancy were it not for the all powerful boobies.” #
• Just ran a report to see how often people are looking at my monthly stats reports. Only 1 person viewed it 1 time in the last 2 months?!!! #
• Only two views on that report. 1 was me. 1 was a co-worker of mine. Apparently everyone I thought would be interested in the numbers isn’t. #
• Cisco apparently decided to save money by closing down for 2 wks between X-Mas & New Year’s. They told employees to take 4 personal days. #
• WTF? Your company decides to close its doors so *you* need to take *your* time off? Cisco should pay their employees during the closing. #
• Trying to think of places to go with my wife for dinner tonight while her parents watch the kids. Hibachi grill sounds good but is pricey. #

• Heading home now. Probably won’t be online again until Sat night. Goodnight all! #
• Little guy sounds awful. Sleeping for now, but awfully congested. Going to get some sleep while I can. #
• Disco Wiggles on TV! #
