Disturbing behavior…

Yesterday, as I was leaving work I noticed that one of my coworkers has a telescope in his office. Naturally, it’s pointed out the window. Two thoughts raced into my head:

1) We only work during the day.

2) Even if you were here at night, we work in a downtown, urban, hence, well-lit area. Not great for star gazing.

I hope it’s just for decorative purposes because the other options are, well, disturbing…

Then, on the way home last night, stopped at the Taco Bell drive-thru, the woman in front of me was placing her order to the little speaker box, and using hand gestures. While I couldn’t hear what she ordered, I know she wanted 5 of one thing and 3 of another because she held up that many fingers to the box when she ordered. Of course, it was then that I also noticed that her license plate holder was upside down…

Then upon my arrival at home I saw that we had gotten not one, but 2 AOL CD’s in the mail. My first thought was “Oh my god, their software got so big it doesn’t even fit on an f’ing cd anymore!” But that was not the case, they simply sent us two slightly different marketing pieces at the same time! Which, to me, is even more stupid that my first thought, so that just goes to show, never underestimate the level of stupidity in the world, especially at AOL. 🙂

    Last night I found some interesting useful things to do with my Pocket PC. Sleeping at the in-laws, I used a CF card full off MP3’s and my stereo headphones to fall asleep to music without bothering my wife, or having to lug around any extra cd player or cd’s. Then, when I woke up…

    Yes, I put the Web Hosting forum back in the forums section over my lunch today. So all the past history of the THC mess is, once again, visible to everyone. By the way, I’d also like to talk about other hosting companies, and hosting basics in there as well, so feel free to post…

    Since it’s right down the street, and it’s a center of some rather large media activity today, I took our digital camera over to the Statehouse at lunch to try and get some better pictures than we were able to get last night during the rain. (Don’t worry, unless Angela wants to blog these, I…
