Five minutes ago I completed and submitted the last of my coursework for my masters degree. Today would mark the classroom end of the journey towards my masters degree.
I believe I’m going to try and walk in the fall graduation ceremony, that is of course assuming I get all of the remaining program papers turned in and take the comprehensive exam covering all courses taken so far, and all pre-requisite courses that I skipped.
Its over and this moment is so good I’d buy it a drink and maybe go home with it.
Mike had pestered me a few times about what I’d pick up if I were going to be building an all inclusive desktop for work. I’d probably be salvage some current parts, but I definitely am 5′ish years old on some others.
I understand the occasional lawsuit. A long time ago I thought the dumbest thing I’d ever hear about was someone spilling hot coffee on themselves and seeking money from the coffee maker.
The gauntlet has been thrown down by a teenage girl and her parents. The girl was dumb enough to walk into a manhole because she was txt’ing and not watching where she was going. Now the parents are filing suit against the city because their daughter is literally to dumb to walk down the sidewalk.
Many people reading about this blame the city, or the road crew for there not being ample barriers up preventing this. I disagree, when you’re walking down the street; it is your job not to step in front of the bus, trip on uneven sidewalk, step on the small child playing with chalk, or fall into a freakin manhole.
“Hey I’ll get it” Mike said as he answered the phone at our new CRESH office in sioux falls back in the summer of 2005. And as he answered the phone his face contorted into the shape one might form upon receiving a wet willy.
The cause of this facial contortion was some idiot constantly sending faxes to our main office line. I’m not saying someone who accidentally sends a fax to the wrong number is an idiot. I am however going to say that if you send faxes at random times of the day, to the same number, and never realize that whoever you are faxing is not getting your faxes, you probably should look at the importance of your faxing.
This became irritating over time. In our excitement to see Batman Begins, we’d begun watching lots of old Christian Bale movies. This lead to watching American Psycho a few times. Which lead to an obsession of business card quality, and feeding cats to machines. Naturally the following image is what we decided to reply with every time someone attempted to fax our voice line.
It has begun. I haven’t watched it yet, and BBC America probably won’t be playing them until at least september[citation needed], but here is the advert for the series.
Last week Andrea, Traci, and Barb came to drop off Sharla’s new car and hang around for a bit. I lent Andrea some how I met your mother dvds to give her and traci something to watch when bored, and during our bored time Andrea and I watched the Top Gear Vietnam, Botswana and Lorry challenges. This lead to me thinking, what would the best “must see” top gear episodes be to recommend newcomers watch.
First and most obvious are the Vietnam, and Botswana challenges.
After that what comes to mind are the “Best Road in the World” vacation, and the second “Turn cars into boats” challenge.
Which other memorable episodes am I missing?
(I am by no means saying that what I’ve listed are the only good top gear episodes).
Now they may not have pictures to confirm a bear exists, but they do have cardboard cutouts that look AMAZINGLY like bears. Please make sure you don’t shoot a human carrying one of these cutouts for fox news. The cutout may look like a bear but it is in fact a person like you and me behind it.
Also, if the squirrel head has a human body, that isn’t a squirrel and should not be hunted/fired upon.
So in the last post I mentioned that I just had done a quick export from Picasa. I feel I should explain that I did actually intend to use Adobe’s Lightroom software for photo touchups and such, but I soon discovered that my laptop is far from capable of running the software. This puts me in a predicament as I did not really plan on upgrading this year. The only upgradable part of the laptop would be RAM for $50.
If not upgrading RAM the options are:
A) Buy Motherboard/RAM for PC-A. Build/Buy Desk
B) Buy Motherboard/Processor/RAM/VideoCard to create PC-B. Build/Buy Desk
PC-A used to be a media pc in our living room but when my old desktop decided it no longer felt like working, it became my desktop. Then when I no longer had a home office, it became a file/music/video server in ze basement.
