Here she goes again -

Here she goes again - Jenna Bush tries to buy booze at a Texas restaurant. Some questions for Jenna:

1) You're the daughter of the president. Drink at home. I'm sure the Secret Service will buy you some. (Maybe she does, and she likes to get it out at restaurants, too).
2) Don't you remember all the flack your dad went through because he used to be an alcoholic? (Or still is, if you watch this wedding video from a couple years back). Do you think your actions reflect well on him?
3) Once again, you're the daughter of the president. You can uphold the law for another two years, methinks.
4) Why do you have a lawyer?

Update: It now appears both Bush daughters were involved. I wonder if daddy's going to be mad.

You'll notice there's a webcam

You'll notice there's a webcam up on the page. That could change as I search for new software, new hardware, etc. It's only on a 10 minute FTP update. I'm currently looking for software that will allow me to:

1) Note on my page when the cam is live.
2) Automatically update so users don't need to reload.
3) Provide more features.
4) Not have to pay for the software.

Any suggestions? email me.

When you're putting together a website, you really have to trust yourself. If something works, but looks wrong, trust that you solved the problem in the past, and by copying yourself, everything will work out fine.

I got my new video

I got my new video camera yesterday...it's beautiful, and works very nicely, even better than my expectations. I just need to come up with something to shoot. On a related note, I was fairly disturbed that after I didn't answer the door 3 seconds after the Fedex guy got there, it meant it was ok to leave my package on the doorstep. It's just a $500 camcorder, after all.

As previously mentioned, today is

As previously mentioned, today is "Star Trek: Voyager Day" in Los Angeles. The final episode of the series airs tonight. Visit Trek Today for all sorts of neat spoilers, information, and general Trek stuff. Pending the possible actor's strike, Enterprise, the newest series, should air in late August.

This is trouble. The Taleban

This is trouble. The Taleban (fundamentalist Muslim group known for alleged discriminatory policies toward ethnic and religious minorities, human rights abuses and poor treatment of women) plans Nazi-style labelling for Hindus in Afghanistan. This could get uglier very quickly...it's best if the world watches very closely.

Well, how do you like

Well, how do you like that? Los Angeles Mayor Declares May 23 Star Trek: Voyager Day.

I typically find these "days" silly, but who am I to complain. If case you've missed it, I'm a huge Trek fan. I'll miss Voyager.

Here's a story about a

Here's a story about a lesbian's election as prom king in Ferndale, Washington. Some of the quotes from those in town and at the school against such things:

The election "imposes something on society that, if truth be known, our society is not yet ready to accept," said parent Tina Mauler. "These types of things ultimately will lead to chaos."

"I guarantee the vast majority of our school thinks there is something a little bit disgusting or very wrong about homosexuality," said student body president Landin Fusman. "(But) if you think it's wrong, try to change them in a loving fashion."

At least the Prom Queen isn't a homophobe:

The prom queen, whose boyfriend was runner-up for king, has a more laid-back take on the April 28 election.

"It's high school," Kara Johnson said. "Let it go."

I guess living in California has given me the impression that everyone in the US is growing up about what other people do in the privacy of their home.. Perhaps it's not the case...

From the genius of Chris, another take on that below picture of Shaq and Tim Duncan:

Ain't that sweet?

It makes me sad that

It makes me sad that people are so short sighted and moronic that they can't see what it's bad to teach a creation myth, and good to teach scientific theory in school. Science isn't your enemy, it's a process to learn about the world around you through testing and observation. There's no "SCIENCE" headquarters in Washington D.C. where men in white coats are plotting against religion. Science depends on observation and what it can show through experiment. While I'm sure there are some scientists "out to get" religion, most just want the truth. And teaching our children old myths in school isn't going to help anyone.

As my friend Eric noted, this is likely the "funniest picture ever". Well, maybe not. But it's the funniest picture today, easily.

Ah, how I love the

Ah, how I love the 40 hour work week. My problems with it:

1) This week, it was 42 hours.
2) This was without counting in the hours for Friday.
3) I just finished a 12 hour day. It's 1 AM at post time.
4) I don't get paid overtime because I'm in the tech industry, and for some reason, they think they don't have to pay it. I don't feel like going to court.

At least it's Friday, and I won't be around a computer all weekend.

My good friend Chris has

My good friend Chris has suggested that I need to update, seeing as I haven't in the last couple days. He's right. How about the story of a 7-year-old North Dakota boy facing a criminal theft charge after police cited him for stealing $6 from his mother? That's entertaining.

I've been a vegetarian for a little under 7 years. I don't eat anything that an animal has to die for, including animal fats, broths, or flavorings. I don't often go to McDonalds, but now I most definatly won't, as they lace their fries with beef flavoring. Thanks guys! You lost another customer!

Most people know that the bible is the best selling book of all time, with around 6,000,000,000 sold. Do you know what ranks as second? "Quotations from the Works of Mao Tse-Tung'' (dubbed ``Little Red Book'') with approximate sales of 900,000,000. I haven't read it. Have you? I discovered this because there's a story about Harry Potter sales passing the 100 million milestone. Only 800,000,000 to go, Ms. Rawling!
