We all know that Fay Wray died yesterday at the age of 96. No gorilla or beauty and the beast jokes, I’m too high brow for that…well maybe not but I didn’t find any of them particularly funny anyhow.
What did catch my eye is this article. The Empire State Building in NYC will dim its lights this evening in honor of the actress.
Nice touch.
Just testing, but since you’re reading this, why not go on over to Whole Wheat Radio to listen to some great music and meet some nice people.
I really don’t understand it. This Saturday (August 14) is the first anniversary of the GREAT BLACKOUT (bold for your viewing pleasure).
Everywhere you look somebody’s writing an article about what a great time we had. Neighbours coming together, community BBQs, citizens directing traffic, etc. etc. Sorry, I don’t remember it as being that much fun.
I manage an IT group for a large logistics company and my memories of those 48 hours are that it just plain SUCKED (bold because that’s the way I feel).
I didn’t sit around the front step with the rest of the surburbanites singing Kumbyah and seeing what else we could throw on the grill because it was in danger of spoiling. When I wasn’t in the office looking at dead machines and fielding angry calls from other parts of Canada where the lights were on and “Goddamm it, I need to get this order shipped and I don’t care what the problem is” and “Do you know when the power will be back” conversations were being conducted on a crummy old rotary phone, I was at home lying in my own sweat hoping Mr. Edison’s wonderful invention would be on soon so I could go take a nice dump without looking like I was holding a vigil to save the whales or the spotted owl or some other helpless creature that is at the back of the pack in the Darwin 500.
You thought the blackout was fun? Good for you. Get all your friends together, hold hands, turn out the lights and relive the defining point of your life. I’ll be listening to the hum of the AC unit and sipping a cold drink.
BTW, this Friday is the 13th. You don’t think we could be that unlucky again??? ………..Naaahhh!
For some reason I’m having trouble displaying images. Bear with me while I figure it out.
UPDATE: Had to erase and restore the whole folder. Don’t know why but it worked.
Eric Idle of Monty Python fame brings us a heartfelt little ditty called “The FCC Song”.
Rude, crude and true. Not safe for work or tender Republican ears.

If you’re running Windows XP as your operating system, do not install Service Pack 2 (SP2).
Even though Microshaft will be gearing up the publicity machine and trumpeting the security features I would advise you to wait a while before even looking at it. You’ll have problems with applications. MS is taking a sledgehammer approach to security and problems are being reported everywhere.
Stay calm and wait.
CNN notes that the US government is worried that there’s been a marked decrease in the amount of “chatter” coming from the terrorists. They say the same thing happened just before 9/11.
If I was a terrorist and saw daily reports of what I’d been talking about with my merry bombers, I’d proably find another means of communications. Right? Doesn’t that just make sense? I guess common sense has no place in the new Oceania.
