ok ok I have not researched this much but still, if it’s true…. Read for yourself

I guess the ditty goes a little something like this:

If you wanna help terri keep her tube, send us some donations but you’ll need lube, because when she is gone, the spam won’t take too long and you’ll all realize that you’ve been screwed

If any of my friends wonder why I am so disheartened with the Republicans and politicans in general, this should clear it up:

I hope she rests in peace, finally. Now I hope the husband is hammered for being a greedy bastard and the family is hammered for being selfish bastards.

Oh and this just kills me. From CNN:

President Bush sent condolences to Schiavo’s families. “I urge all those who honor Terri Schiavo to continue to work to build a culture of life where all Americans are welcomed and valued and protected.”

Ah yes, this from a man who comes from Texas with the highest capital punishment rate in the country. Even if you might be innocent, to death with you! Unless you are too brain dead to protest being used as political fodder in your President’s brother’s state. Then you are valued and protected.

Matt and Roslynn : Coral’s 1st Movie!

Did you ever wonder what it would be like to see a water balloon pop in space?

Microsoft’s tips for buying a flash-based MP3 player:

1. “Make sure you’re getting all the goodies…”

Because you really want that ugly round red thing. You have no sense of style, what do you care how it functions! Pack on the functions, bloat up, this is America!

1. “You’ll want a display. When you have hundreds of songs on your player, you really need an easy way to select your music by artist, album, or genre. This is critical if you want to find that one song or artist you really want to hear.”

Again, you have no idea how you want to listen to music - We’ll tell ya. And get that display, cuz we offer it on our big red ugly thing!

1. “Let a professional make your next playlist. “

We at Microsoft don’t think you’re smart enough to make your own playlist, nor figure out smart playlists. Just buy a radio and screw the whole personal music revolution! What do we care, we’re just trying to sell you Windows.

1. “Don’t get locked into one online store. Have you ever been on the hunt for a particular song?”

We don’t want to remind you that you can buy CDs and rip them into your iPod quite easily. We also don’t want to mention that if the other stores were any different than iTunes Music Store, they’d sell unencrypted MP3s. But they don’t. They lock you into Windows Digital Rights Management. Oh there we go again, selling Windows. Sorry!

I have posted pictures of the new Buzz Lightyear attraction at Disneyland, along with the really great refurbishment of the Tiki Room. I’ll have more pictures once I have gone in the daylight

Update:

I called sales, got right through and got a second phone # to call. After 20 mins or so, I got connected with John. He was super helpful, took 90 minutes to find out that “Joe” had mucked with my box and corrected it.

Now that the MTA was connecting again, he changed my SIP port to 5065 to prevent any possible conflicts with iChat AV. I then called a vonage friend, uploaded files and it sounded ok. We then did a iChat AV while on the phone and that sounded ok. We then disconnected iChat and I uploaded a file, all fine.

Later tonight I will run more Vonage to Vonage tests with my brother to see how it works, and will keep updating this entry.

Many thanks to John for his support

I have been having some QoS issues with Vonage so I called them last night. After 40 mins on hold, Joe called me back on my cell and we tried a number of things to verify my broadband connection, etc. He put me on hold for about 10 mins, then the line dropped. He never called back.

Then my Phone Adaptor went dead and has been blinking all night. No number of resets have fixed it. Another call to Vonage this morning. 40 more mins on hold, then dropped. Now I am just getting busy signals when getting through the meny system (5 menus deep) to support.

Ugh. Not good, Vonage!

My niece is due in just one week! I am really proud of how my brother is handling all of this. I can’t wait to be in town for the event. I even have a new iPod Photo to carry the photos around on!

This is exactly the kind of movies I want to be making some day: royalwe1984

In the “How Can We Rip Off Apple Again” category, Intel has been working on stealing the Mac Mini.

Intel shows off Mac Mini-like concept PC: “Intel on Wednesday showed off its living room PC of the future–and it looks a lot like the Mac Mini.”

I really hope that with the iPod, etc, that Windows users at least understand why we Apple customers get so livid - You’d think those bozos in the other camps could do something other than copy and paste - Which Apple made popular on the home computer, of course.

P.S. used Garage Band this week, but it won’t record with Apple’s own flippin iSight so I recorded my voice bits in Amadeus then drug them into G.B.

Seriously, I guessed at the people and all of the elements, I had no idea. haha. And I didn’t even google one question!

I think the fact I am posting this to my blog does confirm it however.

Check it out, yo.
