PMO WFH

The title refers to the code we use in work emails to indicate that we are working from home. This picture was taken at the corner of the office that I work at about 11 am today. When I arrived at 6, the North Creek was in its normal stealth mode.

Here Ducky Ducky

Thanks for making my Day Gizmondo.

Crap on a stick

I have been working on #31 Earn one Xbox 360 Achievement every day for a month since the 5th of November. Which has been quite the pain since I have also been working my ass off. Well last night I went to Brad's to watch the new Futurama movie and forgot to get an achievement when I got home. D'oh!! Now I will have to make another attempt without the massive amount of easy achievements available in Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga.

Targeted Marketing is Out of Control

Went to the store to buy some food and was confronted with this:



I know that I was made in 1968 but it seems kind of exclusionary for those born before and since. I guess they must know what they are doing since they got me to buy a copy.

Damn You Internet

Questions I did not want to think about:

What if everybody in the United States flushed the toilet at the same time?

Science is always better with a rubber duck

56. See something at the Paramount Theater.

Last night Jim 2.0, Quiana, Jason, Deuce, George, Robin and I went to see Spamalot at the Paramount Theater. It was my first professional play and I was quite impressed.

During the show they sing "Always Look on the Bright Side" from The Life of Brian twice. Anyone that knows the song knows that this is a very catchy tune and I ended up with a very bad case. This morning when I came in to work I was still humming the tune and wanted to get it out, so I started up iTunes and found this waiting for me on Party Shuffle (click to jumbo size).



Thanks Steve Jobs you are not helping me.

Tacos don't hit back but I do.

Taco Bell has a new webgame TacoFu

Lego Mecha-Godzilla

28 - Go to one Mariner's game each homestand for a season

Mission Complete!!!

Went to the game that officially eliminated from all playoff possibilities. I have lots of pictures that I will eventually post on my album but I don't have time to drop more than a quick note before heading back to the work grind.

Scott Wisecarver is a Genius

And the fact I said it on the internet makes it true.

One less thing to make fun of Canadians

$1 Cdn = $1 US

I guess I should fell bad for all the Canadians that are paying the Canadian price for comics and such. I guess we will just see lots more Canadian tourist.

Spider-man's an Ass

From Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal

WTF?

Foreign people are weird.

Everything I learned from Jet Lee Movies..

Is true!!!
A Japanese Television Program answers the question if a sword can stop a bullet.


Then asks the same question with a machine gun.

Dear Mariners' Fans

I'm sorry.

I was just looking at the calendar and realized that this collapse that the Mariners are in is quite possible my fault. You see the day that the skid started was the same day that I went from cautiously pessimistic to cautiously optimistic. That was the day I put my money down on 2007 Mariners' Playoff tickets.

I really should have known better. I knew that this team was not as good as they appeared in the standings. I recognize the look of things held together with duct tape and bailing wire. Yet I had to add one more straw on the back of the camel.

Upcoming Video Games?

I get the feeling that the developers have truly run out of ideas.




Or the guy at Something Awful have too much time on their hands.

Godzilla vs The Cat

Not us fun as I hoped.
