"That's it! You people have stood in my way long enough. I'm going to clown college!"
Homer Simpson, The Simpsons, “Homie The Clown” (2F12)
UPDATE:I’ve used this one already.

So after accepting Google shutting down Reader, you’ll have to get all your subscriptions and stuff back, right? Well at least Google will help you. Anyhow, go Argo yourself Google. That’s the last vestige of any Google application I am using (maybe except for YouTube), so good riddance.
Go get your RSS and remember to do it by July!

Continuing on with the meager and lame blogposts for 2012, I give you a link to CNN’s perspective on what Tokyo means. Meh. Instead of reading I should be visiting. What say you?

I'm sure you've already heard about the earthquake on the East Coast. I was down in the basement lab and thought it was just construction until the floor began to quake. Then my stomach felt funny .Everyone was looking at each other on the first shake. Then we got up and left immediately on the continuous second shake. Just a very eventful day.I survived!
Left Behind
As I tweeted this afternoon, the good news is I still have a job, and the bad news is I still have a job. At IniTech.
Good or bad I’m still there. Gallows humor the last few days referenced the Rapture, which is where I get the title of my post. Those lucky few who got the notice are going to be in a better place. Us left behind will be ruled by the devil — our damn terrible job.
My contribution went the way of the grand old English nursery rhyme, “Here comes a candle to light you to bed; here comes the chopper to chop off your head.” Dreadful morning. Dreadful mourning. Walking in I was already greeted by those whispers of those who’ve gone away. And then it also came in drips and drops over IM rather than the phone, the dreaded phone. Everyone all hopped up. Got no work done.
Let’s hope this is once. I don’t know if I truly hope it is.

Today is addition day: 2+9=11! Just noticed. That isn't what today's link is about though.As yesterday's (or last night's) link took you to the game at which Ferris hooked school, hung out with Cameron and Sloane, masqueraded as Abe Froman, the sausage king of Chicago, and, most importantly, caught a ball at a Cubs-Braves game, today's link goes into the importance of why it was plain awesome of Ferris to catch a day game at Wrigley Field. (Man this sentence is a string of phrases that an editor could fix.)Baseball's 162 game schedule allows for a couple games a year to occur during a weekday afternoon. If you can do it, skip work or school and go down and support the local nine. It's a very fun way to spend an afternoon. Buy a hot dog. Drink a few beers. Heckle to opponent's left fielder. A bad day at a ball game is so much better than a day in a cubicle. I did it last year early in the miserable season of 2010. Watched the best game from the centerfield bleacher seats in Camden Yards as the Orioles took on the Mariners. Down several runs, the O's make the move with a Corey Patterson homer. Then they take the lead on Luke Scott's grand slam that barely cleared the wall. Alleged murderer, Alfredo Simon, called on to shut down the M's in the top of the ninth barely gets the save as the final out is recorded at the plate. That's baseball! And that was the most exciting 2010 game under the ill-fated Dave Trembley.http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/big_league_stew/post/The-cultural-importance-of-Ferris-Bueller-s-Wrig?urn=mlb-181604&print=1
Marching the Hate Machines
And only because I recognized the tune right from the start…
The Real Hawaii?!?
This Ko Olina place sure doesn’t feel like Hawaii. I saw a pirate ship. You only see that in Vegas and Disney. We’re not in either if those places. There’s a lot if kids running around the beach that it feels like Typhoon Lagoon. That would be Disney as well. So far I am underwhelmed with this place. Where is the real Hawaii?

Sometimes you need to get away. Or splurge on something you don’t really need. Do it all at the same time by buying luxury luggage. Why? I don’t know, but sometimes you have to go out and do something away from the things of man.
