Paranoia checking in

What's this, a new wireless router in the neighborhood. NETGEAR is the ssid, wonder if the default password works, yep. Wait a minute it's not hooked into any broadband. Aww fuck, am I gonna get arrested soon? Who turns on a router without setting it up? Maybe they just got it... after Thanksgiving sale... Who knew my iPhone was a hacking tool? I've gotten pretty good typing on it.

Dave Austin, or Austin Daye ...

C'mon ESPN U, his name is Austin Daye, not Dave Austin, he's only one of the best freshman basketball players in the country. He was the leading scorer in Gonzaga's first 3 games. From the Alaska Shootout game against some school they barely beat, Western Kentucky or something like that.

Why be a dick, Mr. Insurance Man?

What the hell good is a 5K life insurance policy that my folks took out on me when I was a baby? It's good for loans against it that will never be paid back until my death. I already have one loan that's never been paid back, now I'll have another for a bit over a grand to use as a down payment on a car, or on drugs. The drugs thing is an idea I got from speaking to the insurance agent, he seemed dubious about my intentions for the money, and insisted I bring ID when I pick up the check tomorrow, he made a point about bringing ID several times. Maybe he thinks I've sold the piece of shit 5K policy for drugs. Asshole, restating asshole because they (State Farm) dropped my car insurance as soon as I got a DUI Reckless Driving, no option to pay more to keep the coverage, just plain dropped. Even if I needed Life Insurance I wouldn't buy it from State Farm.

Aww poop, car troubles

Fucked my car by not fixing the oil leak. Pretty sure a new engine is needed, might be able to get one for fifteen hundred bucks installed. It's nice to fuck, not so nice to feel like you've fucked yourself by not taking care of a problem you knew about. What is my HIV status, I have no clue, just hope I didn't give myself AIDS.

So much dog hair

Do pugs ever stop shedding? Sheesh, hair everywhere. Staying at my folks place for who knows how long and they've got a couple of pugs. I would think that in the cold weather they'd keep as much hair as possible. Maybe when it gets colder.

"My Vote Doesn't Count"

Dummy at work told me that today. He voted, but didn't vote for president, just local elections. All because of the electoral college system we have, his lame state of Idaho only has 4. He claims that he hates the electoral college system and would rather that the popular vote would prevail. Hey dummy, you didn't vote for president, so yours didn't count period. Obama won the popular vote as well.

Transformers Blu-Ray

The movie still sucks, but it looks a lot better in Blu-Ray. I will say that you can sort of tell the bad guys from the good guys in the higher def version. Viewing the DVD version I couldn't really follow the action, or tell which robot was which. To be honest I was catching up on email and stuff during the heavy CGI scenes. Just wanted to see what's her name in a belly shirt and short skirt in high def.

I like hating coworkers

I've seen that people take credit for my work. Not difficult work, took me 15 minutes or less to do it, squeezed it out before I left on Friday. Emailed the result of my work to the coworker that requested it. Subsequently read an email where that coworker claimed that they created it, they may have edited it, but don't take full credit. Just gives me more reason to hate on folk. This particular coworker couldn't have created it ever. Best to move on if able. Will be with some folk this weekend that might have some options.

Kristen Wiig of SNL had a nose job

It's obvious. Why even debate it? If you look at Kristen Wiig's nose in "Walk Hard" and how it looks on the most recent episodes of SNL, it's clear that she had a nose job. I personally think she looks better.

AHHH, Sick of these political ads

WTF does "opposed defending marriage" mean? Does that mean he or she thinks homos should be able to get married? Fucking christians need to learn that America isn't a theocracy yet. Are there any non-religious congresspersons or senators?

Ok, might do some work on the broke dick iPhone

I just bought a new glass screen and tools to replace it off eBay. Shit is coming from Hong Kong. Why do they call it 2G? That 2G stuff confuses me. Anyway, even if it's the wrong size it was only around 14 bucks. Isn't the 3G iPhone the second generation? They claim it fits a 4 gig iPhone, so that would be a first generation iPhone.

iPhone glass replacement. Worth it?

A local company can replace the busted glass screen on my iPhone for "... $65 (parts), $10.88 Shipping, and $35 labor...", so hmm, math, let's see 110.88. Cheaper than sending it back to Apple. Too bad I don't have some other phone lying around I could put the sim card into during the repair time. They say 5-10 days turnaround. Would they need to have my iPhone the whole time? Need to find out what it would cost to get out of my ATT contract. Then go T-Mobile and G1, depending on what it costs to dump ATT. Although, I'm liking an App on the iPhone called GasHog that helps you track how many miles per gallon you get, and what the fuel costs per mile.

That G1 looks goofy, has no standard headphone jack, doesn't play video, not truly open thanks to T-Mobile, has a 2 year contract like ATT.

Fuck it, I'm stuck. Maybe I'll get the 3G iPhone instead and sell the busted one to help offset the cost. I'll have to make sure to take blurry pictures of it.

Got my used / refurbished Apple TV

It was very easy to setup the first 3 times. Why 3 times? Well, I'm trying to use Boxee on it and that requires some work, not really, but I tried it over again when samba wasn't working. Still need some work to get samba shares to load. All the iTunes stuff works great, I can stream any media in my iTunes library fine, movies I've bought, podcasts, music I've bought. What I really want is samba shares to work. That will involve some ssh and ftp work. NitoTV may be the answer. Not a novice to ssh or ftp so I'm not scared about it, just too late in the day to tackle it tonight.

BTW: Never knew I could boot from a USB card reader.

BTW 2: The 2.2 Apple TV update included 1080p.
