eeewww, Oreos! I don’t like Oreos.
Who eats pop tarts with a cloth napkin and knife and fork?
Holy crap.
I’ve got basically nothing to do with tons of work hanging over me. And I’m pretty tired as well. There are somethibng like 7 jobs all on hold for one reason or another, and you just know they will all get cleared to go at the same time…
Interesting to us eggheads:
http://news.cnet.com/8301-27080_3-10299459-245.html
JB – And they will expect all of them done yesterday once they are cleared…
ditto: What a fabulous find! Thank you!
Many thanks for the compliments.
Regarding the Grand Canyon tour – We went with a small tour company for a day trip. They picked us up from our hotels and did all the driving. We had two guides and only eight tourists, including my wife and I. It was a fantastic experience.
http://www.grand-adventures.com/
We didn’t go to the new clear bridge. I’m pretty sure that’s on the North Rim as part of an Indian reservation. Our tour went to the South Rim. Darryl, the owner and main guide, basically started this company because he could find no one offering tours of the Grand Canyon in small groups. So, he quit his banking job and is pretty much living his dream with this. I highly recommend them if you want to take a day trip to the Canyon from Las Vegas.
Regarding imag1narynumber’s security post:
During our last couple of days, it turned out the Black Hat conference was going on at our hotel. There were a few exceptions, but it was a sea of stereotypical looking computer nerds – white guys aged 25 to 55 wandering around with their red ID badge holders.
Ed: great picture!
i: You’re welcome.
Currently listening to: Alone in the Wilderness
They seem to be a progressive metal band, that does instrumental music. At least, that’s all I’ve heard so far. Pretty good stuff so far.
You can get their 3 albums for free here:
http://www.jamendo.com/en/artist/alone.in.the.chaos
Ooops!
s/Wilderness/Chaos/
OK. Not entirely instrumental.
Hardened pie crusts can be dangerous..just look what happened to Ernie.
Reminds me of that old joke about an unfit person getting high climbing the stairs.
Ed: Yeah, I recall a shirt that says “Hacking: So Easy, a White Guy Can Do It.”
Bunny!
I have a deep appreciation for good progrock; I’ll definitely check out the link at home, ditto.
A cool link of my own:

Back from the grocery store. Hubby came with me. He’s the same way, Cj. I never know what I’m going to bring home when he’s with me.
I won’t go there.
TEB Are you alluding to a conversation with Cj that didn’t happen on here?
It was on LLAP, Van.
Jack: Awesome stuff.
CP: Wearing The Inside Out — Pink Floyd
I am now caught up on Deadpan and LLAP. I’m ODing on Jack Mangan right now.
How do you think I feel, Ed?
Wow, that story, The Nostalgist, was really good. Thanks to whomever posted it.
For millions of years mankind lived just like the animals.
Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination.
We learned to talk.
Jack, still going through the images on your link. Love the two Vader ones at the bottom of the first page.
CP: High Hopes — Pink Floyd
One of my favorite songs.
The Vader in Japan ones were funny.
Yeah, I’m thumbing through them as well on and off. Really enjoying them.
Critical updates for Adobe products. Adobe has more information here:

That could get you Lorena Bobbitt’ed if you aren’t careful. ;)
Those are fun Star Wars pics. Especially love Darth Vader with Hello Kitty and the really cool poster of the Millennium Falcon on the top of the original linked page, but mostly, I think I now must own an X-wing desk.
Thanks for listening to LLAP.
Ed’s ODing on Jack? How is that possible? I mean, really isn’t LLAP just me interrupting him repeatedly? (I am really working on that bad habit!)
Now *this* is kewl!

And, TEB, yes, you can buy frozen pie crusts in the dessert section at the grocery store. Thaw, then bake. It’s terrible. I buy them as snacks and just break off frozen chunks and eat them. It’s one of the various things about me that makes me, um, you know… “special”
cough
ditto: Thanks for the heads-up
BTW -
“Dog Boarding” … turns out that’s not a sport. Heck, it’s not even an interrogation technique.
..and we’re back…DP DTs have been avoided.
I prefer the pie crusts to the pie contents.
But to keep my weight under some sort of control the pie crust munching had to go.
And of course, you can’t have pie without Cool Hhwhip.
So for lunch I went to the Jack in the Box drive-thru and noticed that the car in front of me had a Hawaiian license plate. Does that mean the economy has gotten so bad that even Hawaiians have elected to drive instead of fly when traveling out of state?
TGIF!
It’s Friday night and all I want to do is climb into bed and go to sleep.
I think there’s something a little sad about that!
*Yaaaaawn!*

Tonight’s tip:
Never argue with a Portuguese woman about umanned v manned lighthouses when you are gnackered.
CW: Dr. Who, S3, E9 Human Nature
LOVE THIS SHOW
Really, why didn’t you guys tell me it was so great?
EXTERMINATE!!!
gratuitous Whoism
I believe I shall go camping again tomorrow.
Someone keep an eye on the bar.
Ciao !
Hello?
… olleh?
EssBee – The new Who is excellent. I say that having only seen the first two seasons with Eccleston and never really having had a chance to get comfortable with the new Doc, the one from Harry Potter. *cough*
Is it ok to argue with a Portuguese woman about unmanned v manned lighthouses if you AREN’T gnackered?
She’s scary, so probably not.
Eccelston only did one season NS.
Was it really only the one season? Wow. Cuz it really was excellent. I’m sure that there is some bad spec fiction tv being made in …
Erm, do I want to say Briton, England, the UK, or something else?
… anyhow, I’m sure that the BBC cannot have a 100% hit record, but the three shows I’ve seen were all excellent. Being Human, 3rd season of Torchwood, 1st season of Dr. Who.
I would pick up the DVD sets of Dr. Who, but they were $90USD when I looked a year ago.
I keep distracting myself, I meant to ask if there are bad specfic TV shows on BBC?
Hell ya NS, soaps like Eastenders for a start.
But in regards to BBC scifi, pre-new Who a lot it was great on ideas (Blakes 7) but let down by the shoddy FX.
Oh and if you think B5 started major story arcs in scifi TV..you’d be wrong.
NS, do you have Netflix? The first 3 seasons are all watchable online (though we have gotten the DVDs). Our S3, disc 4 was cracked when we opened it up last night, though, so I bought those 3 episodes from iTunes and hooked the iPod up to the TV and we watched em that way. I think David T. makes a wonderful Doctor. I loved Rose, but I really love Martha.
Mundane EssBee health update: I finally went to Urgent Care late yesterday because I could not stand it anymore! I have a ginormous bladder infection (I know that’s oversharing, but we’re all friends, right?) plus the stones, so now am on mega medication. It must be bad because I was told that if I wasn’t markedly improved today to head to the ER. I am better, so screw that, btw. /medreport
Also, Computer King, if you’re out there, you could record yourself reading the phone book and it’d be just a-ok with me.
Morning Pan!
Woke up, ate breakfast then had a shower. Hubby still asleep and I don’t want to wake him so I’ve just got a towel wrapped around me ’til he gets up and I can get dressed. Now my shoulders are chilly.
I think my feet are getting cold too.
I might wait another 1/2 hour, then climb into bed and snuggle up to him with my cold feet and shoulders.
That’ll teach him.
Newsflash:
The Deadpan Ambassador is now on her way home. Do to uncooperative weather, she missed her connecting flight was was delayed overnight in Houston. We were able to put her up for the night at the Deadpan consulate here in southeast Texas.
And, yes, Joe, she did get to ride in the CTS. :)
All hail the generosity that seems to be the Deadpanites, Ed.
Ugh! Evil hubby kicked me out of bed because my feet were cold. I showed him, I turned on the bedroom light – without warning – so I could see to get dressed. I think we’re both up now.
You are laying the evilness of Mr TEB a bit thick there TEB.
:evil:
Hubby actually didn’t get up. I shut off the light and he rolled over and went back to sleep.
Hubby finally dragged his butt out of bed. Now I can clean the bathrooms.
Him sleeping in is not as big of a deal as I’m making it. He was up quite late last night. I’m a morning person, he’s a night owl so every once and a while this difference clashes. We both understand ;)
Hubby’s laughing at me because I’ve pulled out the suitcases and started packing. We don’t leave until Wednesday.
Now my cat has decided to sleep in the open suitcase – as cats generally like to do. No more packing for me.
Common sense prevails:
http://www.crunchgear.com/2009/07/31/original-futurama-cast-returning-to-the-show/
Icy feet on bare skin is just :evil:
Also:
EssBee: yes, the ER is a quagmire, but don’t fuck around with that.
Ed: you are an excellent human being. Very knightly of you to rescue a stranded Amy Bowen.
Err Essbee my Mum almost died from a bladder infection, go and get checked out if your aren’t feeling better.
Thanks, fellas. I’m on the nuclear antibiotics, and suffer from chronic kidney issues (thanks, mom). I’ll be good as new in a few days.
I was gonna say, Jack, that I definitely will NOT be fucking around in my current state, but that might only be funny in my own head.
Ed, what a guy!
CW: The latest Eureka
Yeah the new season isn’t doing it for me.
Hey, all! I’m home, safe and sound. :-) Ed is, indeed, excellent. Hooray for the generosity of Deadpanites near and far! :-D
There’s no place like home.
Ed: I made the following image as a thank-you present for you.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/amybowen42/3780184588/
That is very cool, Amy. Even cooler than Fonzie socks.
http://riotclitshave.com/2009.07/272355.jpg
So the Pelham 123 was a well acted excercise in pointless remakes.
How well do you know your cat?
http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20327193.900-the-stayalive-virus-first-up-the-trees-and-more.html
Morning Pan!
My cat’s definitely left pawed, even though she’s female. We noticed this, almost from the time we got her.

Well judging from the fist two entries I’m officially weird:
http://www.11points.com/Personal/11_Things_That_Are_Weird_To_Do_Alone,_In_Increasing_Order_of_Weirdness
+r
I guess I’m not weird because I don’t do any of that. However, I do have a significant other to go with so that probably makes a difference. If I was on my own, I’d be more inclined to go to a movie or a restaurant by myself.
Amy is quite the artist, if I do say so myself :)
I can’t say that it has ever occurred to me to try to play Monopoly by myself.
I wouldn’t play Monopoly by myself, but I have played the Game of Life solo before. Does it count if it’s a computerized version of the game?
And I disagree completely with any solo movie viewings being weird. One of my favorite things to do is go to the theater to see a movie that is 100% my choice. Settle in with popcorn, redvines, and a diet soda – none of which I have to share – and watch the movie without having to concern myself with anyone else. Pure selfish enjoyment, that’s what that is.
I like to go to the movie theater alone wearing only shorts and a trenchcoat.

Wow. Some of those came out quite interesting.
Jack, I think you win for most bands I’ve never heard of before
Ditto: The midomi app on iPhone tells me it’s Backyard of our neighbors by Au Revoir Simone. It’s incredibly wrong though.
I’ve tried it a few times now and it usually says it can’t come up with a close match. Sorry.
Yeah Shazam craps out as well.
The funny thing is I’m sure I’ve heard it before, but I can’t place it. It’s either old, or a new independent. A lyrics search turned up nada.
Thanks for looking guys.

One has to wonder about the reflectoporn. I mean… are they thinking “Hey, I’m taking naked pics of myself. While I have my camera out, I should take pictures of those things I keep meaning to put up on eBay.” ?
Or do you think it’s the other way around?

Well, given my music library, I can hardly say I’m surprised.
Anyone else been seeing banner ads for this? I’ve started noticing them in the last week or so since returning from my trip.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evony
I don’t see any banner ads.
Vanamonde: Your “It’s a-me, Mario” is one of the great moments in podcast broadcasting. (Finally listening to #132)
ditto: the song is God’s Gonna Cut You Down originally by Johnny Cash. I’m not sure who the band singing there is, though
Oh and Good Morning Pan! Terrible storm last night. I’m afraid to go out and see what kind of damage was done to my yard.
Working today, even though it’s suppose to be a holiday today. Blech. Silly month end.
Good morning, DP!
Have to go to work now. I hope you all enjoy your day!
This is going to be a rough week for me…
Good news the August Spotlight has been found! Woohoo!
Ed, I haven’t seen any ads for Evony, but it looks like it’s a game that runs in the browser, much like Free Realms which, from what I understand is horrible. I tried to play Free Realms and couldn’t make it work. Seeing as I like to think of myself as a little bit tech savvy (at least) that was frustrating. Now I’ll have to check this out and see if it runs better.
Good Morning, everyone.

‘your lipstick was the colour of Nairobi in spring’
Cheesey enough for W&G
What colour is Nairobi? Spring or not.
I suspect a shade of red.
I think the whole point of those Evony ads is the cleavage. Which doesn’t say much for the gameplay. Or maybe it speaks volumes.
Morning, Pan.
The wikipedia article suggests in pretty scathing terms that it’s largely a ripoff of material from the Civilization games.
What’s odd is that the banner ads suggest a game of an adult nature, but apparently that’s just a tease.
Cleavage was advertising something… really…
I was just enjoying the view…
Why does Cpt. Kirk climb the mountain
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HU2ftCitvyQ
Yes, I think I have seen the Evony banner ads, on TVTropes.
Amy that does raise a couple of questions…

WNDRWolf: Good cast. Listened to 42. Would be better if Music and Spoken stuff were closer in levels. Listening in the car, lost half of what people were saying when I was turning the volume back up, had to turn back down when music came on.
Good mix, though.
Although, I must admit I’m a country music hater. Twang-on, change station… Oops, it’s my MP3 player… I guess I’ll listen…
Would someone please tell me when I became a lifeguard at the shallow end of the gene pool?
Just gave the kids their five minute warning. they are ready to go
Lejon – No worries about the Country music It will be a while before it comes back…
I will work on the levels…42 I was working with a new program… Thats my excuse and I am sticking to it…

No on the obscurity.
