TORN LA Gathering 2004 Part II
Am I sexy enough?


Ok, this may be complete hubris, but I am throwing my name in the ring to win the 'Sexiest Geek of the Year' award on Wired.com. Wired is looking for people to nominate a sexy geek for The 10 sexiest geeks of the year...and I'm geek enough to try!

From the website: Be they programmers, scientists, writers, architects or attorneys, please leave your suggestions in the comment space below. There are no rules for submission. The only guidance we can offer is: you know a sexy geek when you see, nay, experience one. We'll publish the finalists next month along with a space to vote for who you think is the smokingest geek.

Blog for Blogs Sake

So it seems that my ban on all things stupid, like MySpace surveys, traffic, taxes and so on is not sticking. I need to create some rules to enforce them. Someday soon I plan to organize an all volunteer police force to patrol the entire internet, all highways, and the government. It should only take about 5 or 6 people, sign up early, spaces are going fast!

I haven't decided how to best approach the subject of getting me a puppy for Christmas to my wife. More to the point, I don't know how to convince her to get me one. I think one day I'll just show up with one and she'll have to let me keep it at least overnight...then he can work his magic on her...either that or I'll be living in the basement for the next few years.

I found a stash of CD's I thought I lost while cleaning my car the other day. It's amazing how much 'stuff' we accumulate in our lives, I lost about 20 or so CD's and didn't even notice they were gone until I found them. Needless to say I've been playing them all over and over, I'll get sick of them again and lose them...only to find them a year later.

I've been trying to drink more water at work, usually I jump for the tea kettle everytime I want a cuppa, but I've been trying to cut down. The thing with water is, I know it's good for you and all, but sometimes it just plain sucks. It tastes like...well...water. That coupled with the fact that my sugar level is now lower due to the lack of tea...I'm all loopy when I go to the washroom.

I downloaded the latest version of the Firefox web browser this week. It is AWESOME..honestly if you don't use Firefox you're retarded. The latest feature is an automatic spell checker. As I'm typing this the browser is checking my spelling and suggesting the correct spelling when I misspell something (like 'suggesting'), it's so cool..It helps me learn too.

Ok I'm going back to get more water..maybe a team..I'm damn dizzy ATM.
