T-minus 8
Last nights fortune cookie:
“You will soon be surrounded by good friends and laughter.”
I kid you not. Creepy huh?
Mod it up
I don’t really know what compelled me to do it in the first place, or the reason I forgot to mention it for that matter, but the other night Lauren’s father and I took a Drummel to my case so I could finally start on that case window I had purchased while I was still in NH. We used a fiberglass reinforced cutting wheel, Drummel brand, that we found at Home Depot in a package of 5 for just a few dollars. We actually only went through two of them. We went through the first once instantly because we weren’t sure about the pressure needed to make the cuts. It wasn’t a lot. After making the initial cuts we went back and rounded off the edges so we wouldn’t lose fingers trying to get the rubber seal in place. We ended up cutting a little more than we needed to and so there was a small gap in the rubber seal. After a few minutes spent trying to get the window into the seal it finally rested in place, of course only to fall out because we had cut to much out and now it was fairly loose. This was solved by a trip to Target to get a tube of clear silicone sealent which I applied last night. I checked it this morning and its sealed up nicely. Tonight I’m going to go back and clean up the edges of the seal so that you won’t be able to see the stray silicone. It’s looking pretty sweet. That pretty much completes the case and now I’m looking forward to doing another. I’m still heavily considering building myself a new gaming only box and making it into that WWII style bomber case I had talked to Chip about before. Of course that’ll have to wait until after New Years when I start getting serious bank from stuff that I’m shooting. I’ll try and remember to get some pictures tonight if Paul will let me borrow the Uber camera.

I’m really not sure what to do about my groomsmen’s gifts. I’m at a complete stand-still. I was going to get people individual items and make it a little more personal. Then I was going to get them all the same thing but have them engraved (but I realized I didn’t know everyones middle names). Actually, the only one I don’t know is Jason’s. Lets see, CLSM, CMK, JAN and SDP. Right? I don’t know anymore. Actually, what I’ve recently thought might be fun is a different t-shirt for each of you. But then, if I pick a t-shirt you don’t like, that’s pretty much a waste, or if I get the wrong size, etc. Why can’t you all just be easy to shop for damnit?!?
Damn Yankees
They so had that locked up in the 8th. Hell, they should have taken Pedro out in the 7th when he let two on base. He was getting tired. I won’t blame Grady Little, but damn, they should have brought in someone new for the 8th. Yankees suck. Congradulations baseball, now you have a World Series no one gives a shit about. Good going. Oh, and fuck you Babe Ruth.
Bullet Points Day
Today, I’m busy, so there will be bullet points. People seem to like these posts best. Perhaps I’m consistantly long winded. I didn’t think so, but whatever.
Enjoy.
iTunes released for windows today. Both the program and the downloadable music site.
Winamp 5 beta also released. After playing with it for a while it seems like AOL is ramping up to make it no longer free. That sucks.
Verisign is selling NetSol. Don’t know whether to like it or hate it.
You all know that the Red Sox are playing Game 7 against the Yankees tonight right? So why the hell are you reading this… get to you TVs damnit. Unless of course you’re reading this tomorrow… in which case the game is over, so nevermind.
Federal government wants to mandate hardware-level DRM. Not good.
Oh, and if you see red flashes durring Kill Bill. Blame the MPAA.
BTW
Has everyone gotten their wedding invitations yet? Just checking.
