Well, there is a place called Quotations Book that gives you a quote of the day and RSS feed. The feeds are available for anyone to use and the variety of content is extensive. Who couldn’t use either some inspiration or a laugh delivered to you every day? Check it out.
So, with all of the money I've built up with my various side jobs, I'm getting awfully close to building my new super computer. Ok, it won't be "super", but it will be really good. I'm spending more money on the PC than I normally do, but that could be because I already have the cash saved up and my side jobs have been more lucrative than I had previously thought they would be. I'm going to be able to afford a nicer computer than I thought I would be able to, AND I'm going to be able to buy it months before I thought it would be able to.
So, my office offers volume license copies of Microsoft Windows Vista Business to it's employees. It's legal, don't worry, it's legal. So, we're allowed to take home and install Windows and Office. I've already got Office 2007 installed and I love it. I've seen Vista a couple of times and it looks equally confusing and very cool. Ok, maybe a little more cool than confusing, but only a little. That little bit more has convinced me to install it on the new PC I'm going to build. So, that's made me double check the stats of my future machine and it will dictate the kind of video card I buy. While I was going to get a dual core, very nice processor and lots of memory, I wasn't going to go crazy with the video card. I don't play many video games these days, and photoshop is more concerned with the processor and memory than the video card. Well, Vista requires that you have a pretty bad ass video card if you want to run Aero, the fancy new graphic interface that Vista sports. Aero is wicked cool, so now I've got to get a decent video card so I can run it. Thanks Microsoft for making my new computer more expensive. Thanks.

My wife is a little bit paranoid. Not in a creepy, conspiracy theory sort of way, but in a semi-normal way. Everyone is a little paranoid of noises you hear in the house late at night, but my wife is convinced that someone has broken into the house and is trying to steal our children. This has been cause of many a nights of me walking around the house to check it out. Well, today, no more. Ok, well maybe not exactly today, but soon, no more. Today I ordered a security system. It's going to be installed next week. Apparently I get a really good discount through my insurance company, plus after it's installed I get a discount on my home owner's insurance.
So, burglars and little kid thieves beware! My house will be secure and you will not be welcome! I'm pretty sure the neighbor's house is pretty open though. I think they have a ham in the fridge too, so that's like a bonus. Ham...yummy.
Seriously, this HAS to be one of the entertaining websites I’ve seen in a long time. It’s called ImproveYourKarma.com and it’s a riot! I mean, the splash page says it all with a picture of Sven Goodsson in some 80’s ish workout clothes and across him is the words “Let’s get Metaphyisical”. That’s only the beginning though, once you get inside, it gets really fun. There is a looping video of Sven doing a workout of sorts in the background. I’m serious. Stop reading this and go there. You’d be hard pressed to visit the site and not smile.
Well, since you’re still reading, I’ll tell you a little more. The site is designed around improving your Karma, as the website name and address would imply. He has a monitor section that gives you some coding that you can take to your myspace page and it puts a “karma meter” on the page. The Karma meter checks all of your comments for good and bad words and gives your page an overall Karma rating. There’s even an analysis section where you can upload photos and it will give you an aura analysis to tell you what the karma rating of that photo is. I’m telling you, this site is crazy fun. Go there…right now.
So, the call from my potential future employer was an offer as expected. Apparently, two of my references are not returning phone calls. So, I was told to contact them myself and get them to contact her or provide her with two new references. So, I conjured up an additional reference and I contacted both people who were bad a phone tag. Both people who were not returning phone calls told me that they would make the call. So, hopefully they'll do just that and the next call I get will be for an offer. Hopefully.
