Blog Question Of The Day:

Is 'Aquate Technologies' a good name for a new water treatment company?

I'm watching K19-The Widowmaker tonight. I have a question.

In one scene, the soldiers are given little towels with which to cleanse themselves. The explanation is, they only shower once a week. Now why would that be? For showering, does it really matter if its salt-water? Just bring in some raw from the ocean, and then drain it back out of the ship. Why use precious 'stored' water?

Just a thought.

In the immortal words of the great Ozzy Osbourne:

Mama, I’m coming home

My fate is thirty feet away . . .

The internet really is a beautiful thing.

I've been checking every place I can think of, trying to find a copy of hockey for my Game Boy Advance. I really like the little toy but not surprisingly, as it comes from Nintendo, the roster of available games is a bit on the juvenile side. Now I'm as juvenile as any 30 year old you might find, but the standard Nintendo offerings weren't thrilling me, even 2/3 of my life ago.

So I went on eBay. I haven't done a lot of eBay shopping in my life, but the few occasions I've tried it, its worked out great. And for GameBoy game, its a safe attempt. The one I found was $10 US. I can afford to lose that much, if it doesn't go great.

I ordered before the movie I watched at 8:30. It was a 'Buy It Now' item, so I didn't have to wait for an auction close. By the time I came back online, all the confirmations had been sent, and the guy selling sent me a personal email to let me know my game would go out in the mail tomorrow.

Saskatchewan retail = 0, eBay = 1

For those of you that take an interest in such things (Hi Greg) I have finally bothered to put encryption on my wireless access port, here in Saskatoon. I didn't actually do it to be more secure, but I theorized that perhaps my problem is related to there being other network activities in the vicinity of my house that may be upsetting my access port.

For those of you that have your own wireless equipment, when you're at my house, the password I put on is . . .

Were hockey pucks always made of rubber?

Blog Question Of The Day:

If there is a stripped down version of Word built into Windows (Wordpad) why isn't there a stripped down version of Excel?

What's with all these investment commercials? I know its that time of year. Everyone is looking for a place to invest, to get the old 'taxable income' number down. However this basketball telecast seems to be sheltering an abundance of these commercials. Is it a demographic thing? Do they expect that middle aged men are the most likely viewers of college men's basketball, and then a good bet for their advertising dollar?

What I'm not seeing is the usual preponderance of beer commercials. Perhaps that's the problem. Being college basketball, they are loathe to be supported by products that the bulk of the competitors 'shouldn't' be able to get. With that void created, we are visited with ads for mutual funds.

As was pointed out to me today, I think to much. Enjoy the basketball!!

Way to go Gonzaga!!!!

I noted the unique instance of 11:11 both times that it occurred today.

I'm listening to Dennis Miller this afternoon. He's talking about drug taking, and the types of things people think about, when they are high on their trippest weed.

Am I the only one that thinks the EXACT same stuff, when I'm stone cold sober!?!
