First the synth... and now this...


So Mr. anti tech muso Jack White does not mind charging almost 60 Bucks for a USB drive with $15 worth of music on it. Only 99 bucks if I get Both? At least make em AIFF's so I can enjoy the tape hiss Mr. lofi. I am buying the album tomorrow anyway...
I think Meg got the cooler hat BTW.

Just a little hint...


Although I want everyone to go to Taj India. Do not go there at 6 A.M. like the website says...they are way closed at that time. The real opening time is like 11=00 or 11 AM I think...
Now go there and eat.

Free Lund?


For those of you that cannot see it tucked down on the bottom of the sign in the picture. This is the the ad for the Taj India website. I eat there as much as I am able too. You should also. It is not only the only indian restaurant in good old Holland MI, It is also the best. Just go to the website check out the menu and then go down there and Eat Eat Eat. Tell em I sent ya and get a free confused look. Get down there now......

The Big Four O


Here is the 40th Post I have made here... One wonders where the time goes...

I would like to take the opportunity to plug /gquit

We got a few new songs up and have a few more in the works... also hope to have an album ready for anyone who wants one... seeing that almost everyone who reads this is already in the band we may not need to press too many of em...

Not quite jumping the Shark....

But maybe more like sliding the motorcycle into the chicken stand...
I was totally enthralled with the album Antics from Interpol a few years ago... it still holds up better than most of the albums I own... love it. So here come the new single "The Heinrich Maneuver"... It is ok, but lacking the detachment and the Blondie produced by Martin Hannett sound they perfected on Antics... maybe it is progress... I hope the new album has a bit more space on it. Is this making any sense to anyone but me?

Physical Therapy...


Everybody was real nice at the Pool therapy thing... I walked on and stretched out my big fat frankenfoot. I got my own private pool... (see picture) I did not see the old pool from my swimming lesson days back in the late 70's and early 80's. Apparently they walled it off and are hiding it from the rest of the pools... poor lil' pool. Big Ups to Heather for helping me change.

Incredible...

I found this today... excellent

well I'll be....


Talk about out of nowhere.... Here is Netscape 9.
It sure brings me back to the days of Macnet where I was mktgrdn (remember that dug?). And I had a 5 more accounts because you could only get on for a half hour at a time for free. Remember how much better the Free PPP was than Mac PPP.
14.4 whoa doggie it was flying....wow has it been more than a decade... sniff...
Anyway, I tried the netscape out and boy is it ugly... but snappy. It makes firefox feel like IE 5. No it is not not as snappy as Camino.

Don't mess with the MAME


These guys take the MAME very seriously... At the time this picture was taken Doug, the gentleman on the left, wanted to make sure I got the Donkey Kong ROM working... what was I supposed to say....
If ya see them around, tell them how nice the cabinet is coming along... Big thanks to My Dad Fred for helping make the machine come along so quickly...

Everybody hates.... Camino


This is BK. He hates the Camino. But loves the kittens. Check out his blog on the left. His sucks less than mine apparently. (Hint: His is the surly one)

alarming...


Gil Gerard and Lee Majors in the same location at the same time? I am pretty sure there are rules about that. If something bad happens there, all we are left with is Dirk Benedict.

Gotta get loose, 'cause lately,
This life is leavin' me cold.
Gotta vamoose, 'cause lately,
Time flies, but all I get is old.
Got to catch some slack.
I need a quiet place.
Got to not look back because,
I need some time to waste.
I gotta vamoose, 'cause lately,
Time flies, but all I get is old.

Last weekend

My ole' buddy Ken came over with a computer he got for free. It was an old dell white lil thing. I started it up and it seemed like it took forever.... got the windows 98 blocky looking loading screen(seriously was that graphic produced for a 9" monitor or what) anyway.... it loads up and bam! the GUI is super responsive...snappy even.. It is a P3 with...get this 64 MB of ram and it is just quick. I remember moving to OS X and feeling the ...well not slowdown but lack of responsiveness that I was used to in the Mac OS. Actually it was a slowdown until 10.2 appeared and offloaded the eye candy to the video card. It is the same with XP and especially Vista. I don't like to think I need a super big a$$ 512 MB video card to make the pretty bloated OS seem less sluggish. But I guess I do...

halfway


Well this week makes the halfway point in my leg breaking extravavansa...so I have a few thoughts...
well no I don't..crap
