Today’s Funniest Unintended Double-Entendre Headline

3.6 million people starving in Niger

Food is a helluva lot more important than democracy, so why can’t W spread that around? Culture of life, my ass. Fly back from Crawford to keep a vegetable alive. Ignore 3.6 million who are strarving.

Yeah, I know this picture is disturbing, but..ok,

I need to figure out some way to send something over there.

Unreleased Harry Potter Book More Secure Than U.S. Trains

(from The Onion)

It did not go well. I finished in close to last place, due to having lost 80% of my chips on the very first hand. I held Ac/3c, and the flop has an ace and two more clubs. The river card was another ace. A guy bet $3000 (you start with something like $5000, and I had already put $1000 in on the hand). I should’ve figured he’d have a higher kicker or a boat, but I didn’t. So I lost to trip aces with a nine kicker. And I lost the remainder of my chips a couple of hands later. And so I was out six minutes after I started. Dave lasted another two hours and finished sixth. It’s free to play, but I spent $30 on food and drinks prior. (including 2 $5.50 20 oz Basses) But had I not lost so quickly, I would’ve enjoyed it, and there are plenty of poker tournaments going on almost daily in the Triangle, so even if it’s not a great way to meet people, it is a way to get out my place and do something I enjoy.

Dear Friend,

I just signed this petition telling the Bush administration to come clean on the CIA leak.

With your help, we can keep the pressure on them to do the right thing. Please join me by signing this petition:

Thanks!

I actually laughed, thanks to Curb Your Enthusiasm, Season 3, Episode 1–”Chet’s Shirt”. Laughter=good therapy. I should probably watch another episode before I go to sleep. Hell, I should probably watch an episode when I wake up. One of the funny shows I’ve ever seen. Highly recommend it.

posted this. Pretty neat. Look at some moods like sad, scared, and shocked in the past week, and you’ll see how they spike after the London attacks.

Looking back over some spreadsheet, I see that I’ve sold about 100 CDs over the past couple of years. I want them back now. I don’t want copies, I want the originals. I want every impulse buy I ever made back. I want my collection back. I don’t care if it’s materialistic.

[Will use this entry to update my progress. Gray with strike-through means I won't re-buy the CD.]

Haven’t been posting lately for a variety of reasons I may or may not write about later, but in the meantime, I just found a neat Firefox trick. To access a specific tab without the mouse, you can do CTRL + [the number of the tab in order from left to right], ie CTRL+ 1, CTRL + 2, CTRL + 7.

The following pretty much sums it up. I develop and support the Remedy

Remedy is an enterprise-wide application; several colleges and departments
