1. Love at First Sight: Fact or Fiction?
Fact, I fell for two women that way.
2. Fortune Telling: Fact or Fiction?
I lean toward fiction in this case.
3. Other Life: Fact or Fiction?
Maybe, my opinion is still open about that.
4. Afterlife: Fact or Fiction?
I’m holding out for an afterlife.
5. Bigfoot: Fact or Fiction?
I think there is something to the legends, maybe an undiscovered species of mountain gorilla.
Theme: Change
1. If you had the ability to legally change your name, would you? To what?
No, I have enough problems remembering it as it is.
2. What do you with with change that you receive from banks/purchases/find on the ground?
Keep it for use in the coke/candy machine.
3. If you could travel back in time to change the course of one historical event, what event would it be?
The Civil War.
4. Would you rather live a safe, stable, moderately interesting life or one where every day was dangerous, volatile, and different?
I’m lazy and sloth-like, I tend toward the safe and stable road.
5. What do you think you’ll be remembered for when you die and, if you could, would you change it to something else?
As a good father, and no, I wouldn’t change that.
- In the “What in God’s name are they drinking category”: Disney is writing High School Musical 4. What you didn’t know that High School Musical 3: Senior Year is coming out this year. I am personally waiting for High School Musical 5: All the cheerleaders get pregnant and the rest of the students get slashed by Jason.
- Slow news day: The Olympic torch is the sole cause of global warming! It is bad enough that you can’t breath the air in Beijing, but now they are destroying the planet as well. Or was that their agenda all along? i can hear them now… We win the right to have the Olympics is 2008, build giant torch, and plunge world into heat death while we, the Chinese people, survive in giant freezers.
- I’m embarrassed to be a Georgian: Georgia legislators are trying to allow concealed weapons in public places. Yes, we need more weapons in restaurants and fast food joints… you never know when that hamburger will turn into a zombie and start attacking kids.
- Why Star Trek stars should never be let out of their cages: George Takei sings “On The Road Again”. Please tell me you people did not watch that last night. It could be worse… The Shat (though there are times he almost makes it). At least Mr. Shatner has the ability to make fun of himself.
- It was a good idea at the time: Those in charge of the Mets stadium decided to let “fans” determine what song to play at the game… Rick Rolled anyone? I have no problems with the song or the artist, but Rick Rolling is one of the biggest things on the Internet and you’d have to be living under a rock to not know that was coming when they asked for a Met’s song. I mean they even Rick Rolled the game Doom (and it is obviously lethal). You can say that Fark is good for something.
- I’ll just take my toys and go home award: The Mets for being spoilsports about the whole Rick Roll thing.
I’m sure you’ve read by now the article on The Tech Herald about the sudden demise of influential technology bloggers and how blogging is potentially deadly. If you haven’t go read it now, I’ll wait.
Hurry up, I don’t have all day. Boy, you are a slow reader.
As you have read, the article makes a big deal about the link between blogging and death. By their logic I can link bicycling with death and make it sound like an epidemic. It seems to me that the recent deaths and illnesses have more to do with the type of job the people had (IT and technology related) than to actual blogging. IT is a high stress occupation area to begin with. Add that with journalism and poor exercise habits (which is the norm for IT people) and you’ll get a high incident of illness. There are nights I have trouble sleeping, I tend to get sore elbows, wrists, and shoulders when working too long, and I am overweight (though I had a weight problem before I became involved with IT), but it is no worse than the other billion or so people who work everyday.
I can see my headstone now… “He died blogging and downloading porn”.
Of course it could really be a skinny Japanese girl with long hair and pale skin that is crawling though the blogosphere kill people like Ringu or something. I guess I just came up with the next J-horror clone.

Upgrade
