Wow. I can’t believe this. Dale Earnhardt died. I’m not a fan of racing or anything (I think it’s the most boring “sport” I’ve ever seen), but this was one of the guys that even non-fans recognized. He was my uncle’s favorite racer. I hope maybe this forces NASCAR to recognize how dangerous racing is and that they need to implement more safety restrictions.

Snookums and I went to see Tap Dogs last night. It was awesome. Six sexy Aussie guys in combat boots and Levi’s “tap, stomp, jump and splash their way through an energetic array of raunchy dance routines.” My favorite part was when they each had a drum pad in front of them and they danced on it to create a full rock rhythm drumline (bass, high hat, everything). The bit with the angle grinders and showers of sparks was damn sexy too. 🙂
You remember those books right? Of course you do. That’s Little Miss Kris, over there. Isn’t she cute? (Come on, it’s Friday night!) Like the fabulous StorTroopers, there aren’t a lot of options so you may have to do some Photoshopping to complete the likeness. (Link courtesy of not.so.soft)
Cool! The official Harry Potter site is now up! It’s a bit Flash-intensive, but it’s worth it, I think. Make sure you watch the introduction movie… The tone of the design seems to be darker and scarier than I expected. And I’m proud to announce that I’ve been sorted into Gryffindor!
Microsoft says open-source software is un-American. Excuse me while I collapse in giggles. Whew! That’s a good one. On a related note, I just bought Rebel Code: Linux and the Open-Source Revolution for vacation reading. It looks good… I’ll let you know how it turns out.
Sorry for the lack of posts today. I’ve been in running around between offices for meetings. Ugh. All done now. *smile* And my mom just came through with the happy thought of the day: My younger brother Anthony was designed “Tuffy Muffler Player of the Game” at his high school basketball game last night. He had 16 points against our curséd rivals, the Panthers of Prairie Heights. Congrats, Antny!
Apartments.com is hosting a contest to find the Messiest College Apartment in America. The winner gets $10,000. Suddenly I wish I had taken more pictures of the room I shared with Eileen Dunne freshman year…
MenWhoLookLikeKennyRogers.com. This is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life. I had to run around and show everybody in my office. Damn, I love the Internet.

Woot, my knee-jerk don’t-overthink-it pub-quiz answer was Iran which seems to be [✓]. I ‘knew’ it was more populous than…
Congrats and to many more 🙌🏽
My home economics teacher taught us to use “J cloths” as press cloths. (Cellulose cleaning cloths). The upside of using…
