Palindromes are just plain fun. I think someone wrote a book that was a palindrome. I doubt that. There are some long ones, but most become gibberish. I have a picture of my VW’s odometer rolling through 100,001 miles. It was cute.
30,000 hits
Sometime over the weekend, maybe Saturday night or Sunday morning, this blog went over the 30,000 hits. Now, this is just since I installed the statcounter counter in 2006. This blog has been going on much longer than that, but I doubt that I had hit half that many.
So, unofficially I am saying that we’re at 50,000 hits, but officially, as the statcounter says, we’re just past 30,000.
Thanks to you for making me surpass this milestone. I hope you keep reading and commenting. Thanks for those looking for cool lampshades, Doobie Keebler, News Radio Quotes, School Rumble #283, Tascha Yar naked, Oksana Akinshina naked, and many other search terms that lead you here. Without you, I couldn’t have made it this far.

Went to the Yard last night. Saw the O’s win one for the first time in a long while. Perhaps my streak of losses is over.
On one pitch a Texas player swung, lost his grip on the bat, and then lost his bat to a fan who caught it. We cheered. Hopefully, the dude’s okay and not hurt from some wooden projectile hurtling his way. At least he got a souvenir. I wonder if the bat is maple or ash?

The MacMini is really great. I’m thinking about switching over to all intel machines. It’ll make developing software easier. I don’t think I’ll be doing that in the near term, but having an intel desktop would be nice.

Here’s the Big Picture’s take on the 2008 Olympic Opening Ceremonies. I missed the opening part with the drumming, the dancing and the children singing. I watched the parade of countries and that silly space walk for the Olympic flame. I just wanted to see the fireworks. For the country that invented them, it looked spectacular.
NBC coverage of the 2008 Olympics sucks!!
Suck it, NBC. Can’t you fucking support PPC? I want my Men’s Road Cycling now!
Update 1:
So I switch to the MacBook Pro. I need some Microsoft shit?! WTF?!? Can’t they use sucky flash? At least it’s built right into my browser!
Update 2:
Now I have to switch from Camino to Safari!!! WTF?! Camino is a Firefox variant?! Can’t they do anything right? (NBC and MS)
Update 3:
And that shit is beta?! WTF?!?!
I’m just gonna go to sleep, and read about it in the morning. Or see it on youtube.
