Someone's Bad Day

Someone’s Bad Day
Originally uploaded by browsermetrics.
My daily commute has bail out route that is light ridden, but not heavy in traffic. You just have to know when to make the change. I chose poorly today. It looked normal, but as little as a hundred yards did it slow to a crawl. At least you can see the cause.

Ouch!

That’s not how to start a day.

Quote of the Day [12.11.08]

“I’m interested in upgrading my 28.8 kilobaud Internet connection to a 1.5 megabit fiber optic T1 line. Will you be able to provide an IP router that’s compatible with my Token Ring Ethernet LAN configuration?”

Link of the Day [12.11.08]

Here’s a first — a link of the day that doesn’t take you anywhere. Of course, if you had a problem with any previous links of the day, then you may have thought that those took you no where, and you have already seen a BrowserMetrics link of the day that doesn’t take you anywhere, special. But I promise this link doesn’t take you anywhere of note, because it ends up at some domain name seller who is parking this domain name waiting for someone, maybe me, stupid enough to buy this domain. Get me Homer Simpson.

Slumdog Millionaire

broderic on December 11, 2008

I am a Slumdog Millionaire only because I know the answers to the questions you ask. I don’t know everything. I know enough from my experiences, and not enough from my lack of experience. I am street smart if not book smart. I am lucky that things that happened to me are things that are easily to remember: the worst outhouse in Mumbai, the religious riots, Fagin, the three mouseketeers, etc., etc. I use this too my advantage. If there was a wall with pictures on it, I would’ve used that too. I am smart that way. I am a slumdog millionaire, and I know that my answers are correct because I am loved.

So it was written.

4 of 5 stars.

Link of the Day [12.10.08]

I don't believe in capitalism as preached by this country. I think the
markets are run by greedy people who only believe in the here-and-now
and not the long term future viability. And we follow them, because we
think they are smart. In reality, they are dumb and we are fools for
following them.Perhaps in the future, we will be less susceptible to the cons of the
financial industry.http://www.vanityfair.com/magazine/2009/01/stiglitz200901?printable=true

Link of the Day [12.09.08]

I link to the New York Times more than any other site in my daily links.
I wonder if it's because I am lazy or if I find there stories and
articles good. Most likely, it's because it is one of the first stops
in the morning to read, and if you don't have the daily link already
pre-loaded a post, then you'll post almost anything looking for
something interesting. I haven't pre-loaded posts in a week, so I'm
scrambling to find you, my dear readers, something interesting to read.It's been cold this past weekend, and only is it supposed to warm up
again. So, with the cold and with some snow, we turn our ideas to
winter sports namely snowboarding. I haven't been in the last two
seasons. Two winters ago was the warmest that it has ever been; I think
I rode my bike one warm January day. I wasn't even thinking about
snowboarding that winter. Last year, it was more of the same except
that the final weeks in January and February were cold enough, but I was
too lazy to want to go ride.Maybe, if we had a late season like they do at Riksgransen I would've
ridden more. Not until the end did I want to carve some s-turns over
freshly groomed slopes.http://travel.nytimes.com/2008/12/07/travel/07arctic.html?partner=permal
