How to get your Co-worker in trouble with the Packet Police
I prefer to do my porn surfing from other computers, that way I don't have to expect the packet police from marching away with my PC and leaving me an Etch-a-sketch.
But today I was semi-busted working on Festus's laptop. It's a good thing NM is easy to bribe. I wonder if I should let Festus know to expect a friendly visit from IT?

New -rig front
I love the case and powersupply, as the power leads look very clean and not the typical birds nest. But they are also stiffer and less flexible. So I have to figure out how to drop the hard drives back further to allow the side panel to go back on. Doh!
New Rig - on a budget
Tom's Hardware has an excellent article on building a decent gaming rig for under $500. This was perfect timing as I just fried my motherboard and looking to upgrade on the cheap. So here it is.
ASrock 939 Dual SataII
AMD 64 3000
Corsair 1 GB RAM DDR400 3200
Kept my original Geforce Ti-4600 128 mb ram video card
And reused the rest of the components.
So my upgrade only came to $320 from Newegg.com

Car Cup Holder - Homer Style
As we were backing up, Jimbo saw that the cup on the back bumper was actually in the back bumper. Now that's a great cup holder!

A small storm, eh?
Not even a storm warning from our otherwise paranoid weather forcasters. Guess if it doesn't involve white death, then no need to report.

Indy 500
Had a good time at the Indy 500. The cars were going so fast that even the buildings moved. Actually, It was just a hot and sweaty day, and this is the best I could get from the camera phone.
It was my first Indy 5000. I was a bit surprised to see that almost all the cars where either Honda or Toyota. The only diffence being that the Honda's completed the race, and the Toyata's were being pushed off the track.
Too bad getting to the Indy 500 stressed me out. We were late meeting up with my company that was meeting at a guys house a mile away from the speedway. My Google map directions became useless once we had to deviate due to road closings and backed up traffic. I've learned my lesson to carry along an actual map in case this happens again. So we are late, asking directions, and think we have it, all we need to do is go up Gasoline Alley and take a right on 10th street. But there was a cop manning the intersection that would not allow me to make that right hand turn. He yelled at me to move on, to the left. Cars were behind me, I'm confused, so I obey but do a U-Turn so that I'm now going the right direction on 10th street. I figure I can talk to the cop and figure out what the problem is, and show him on the map that I just need to go 1 mile up this road. I'm sure he would understand, and at a minimum tell me how to get where I need to go.
I could tell though that the cop was not too happy with my U-Turn. He was already shaking his head from the distance. As I got closer to him, I heard him tell the car in front of me "Move on, I need to have a word with this next car". So I have my map out and ready, and try to explain where I need to go, but he's not looking down at my map, he was just waiting for me to take a pause and breath:
COP: SIR!!! What is behind you!?
ME: er, oh...um, my son?
COP: NO SIR!!! What is behind your car?!!!!
ME: Um, more cars?
COP: NO SIR!!! DO YOU NOT SEE THE BLUE TAGS IN THE WINDOWS?!!!
ME: No actually, I just see drivers mad that I'm holding up the show. Look, I ju..
COP: NO SIR!!! YOU DO NOT HAVE A BLUE TAG!!! You MUST go to the RIGHT and MOOOOVE!!
ME: But I'm really turned around here and confused, can you help me fig...
COP: NO SIR!!! You will MOOOOVE. NOW!!!!!!
So obviously I'm dealing with someone that really loves their power of authority. I guess he was getting aggravated with me since I was now disrupting his flow of traffic, and thus making him look bad. Long story short, I did another U turn, came back and followed his turn directions and found some side streets to get around him. As I was going through all the neighborhood streets, It was amazing how every household was begging me to park in their yard. But it was at one of these neighborhood intersections that Officer Steward was able to help me, and point me in the right direction. So thank you Office Steward. Nice to know there is still some sanity left in Indian's finest.

Star Wars Episode III- Midnight Showing
Ten minutes to go. The geek factor is a bit disappointing.
[Edit[ Disappointing it was. Just one In character custom, someone doing Count Duku. I heard there was a female Imperial Guard performing crowd control. Just one pre-show light saber battle. But it was a good one, one guy jumped from the banister to attack the other guy. But the funny moment of the night that made it worth while was not the dance off, basically won by a white kid doing the worm. And it wasn't the attempt to get a wave going. Rather it was a side effect of the wave that had everyone in stitches. Imagine as a very very large man walks in with his beloved tub of popcorn, and as he rounds the corner, a kid doing the wave stands up and raises his hands, sending the man's popcorn on a perfect projectory that just put on the most awesome display of scattered popcorn in the air I have ever seen. It was beautiful. And I must admit, the large man used the force very wisely to control his loss. Because loss of popcorn leads to anger. And anger leads to a large man strangling the kid, and strangling the kid leads to calling in the cops, which leads to a cancelled movie. Which would have been a shame. Acting was weak, but great movie. Seen it twice so far.

New low in low riders
Heading home from work and saw this person walking...no, more like waddling up the sidewalk. And I noticed he had what looked like his belt around his knees. So I took a double look and sure enough down to his knees. So I had to do a U-turn and get a picture. Followed him into the gas station to take this pic. I'm starting to think I need to stop being so uptight about this, this can't be a healthy obsession.

These pipes are Cleeeeeeeeaaaan!!!
Believe it or not, this was a root system found in my sewer line I had replaced due to a break. How did anything flow past this is a mystery. So now that the got the family of dead squirrels removed from my sewer, let the sewage flow!!!

Another well maintained US car
It's one thing to work on a car as a kid. Heck, I think my first car had nothing by primer spots all over it. But this peice of work looks like an actuall effort to match up as many peices, with yellow trim being the main theme.

Need some ducktape?
This was such a pathetic sight I had to snap a picture of it. At least it proves the point how useless those wings are, as any downward pressure would dislodge that piece of wood holding it up.
