“Internet? Inter-NOT.”
The Amazing Race is over. What is there to watch? Anyone have any suggestions? Especially with the new season. Maybe these guys can help.
“Why must you people insist I learn your names?”
The Amazing Race ended tonight on their two hour race finale. Hopefully, this post is set for the future and you won’t read it until it has aired in your time zone. SPOILER ALERT!!
Congratulations to Chip & Kim! They proved the old adage that slow and steady wins the race, the turtle beats the hare. They got some luck in finding that the teams ahead of them were on a delayed flight. Took advantage of that good bit of fortune and won it all in Texas. Sorry to Colin & Christie. You guys were unstoppable, but lucked out in the end.
I can’t wait til season 6.

Caught an early evening showing of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow last friday. Jason Kottke sums up my feelings on it. Technically good, but the story and the emotions were not here, and it left me somewhat cold. Also, it put my mom and my brother to sleep.
3 of 5 stars.
“This is on air talker person, Matthew Brock with a special shout out to my two cats, Chew Chew and Mit Mit. HI!”
Yarrgh! Avast me mateys! Today’s the day when we talk like a pirate. Yarrrgh. If ye don’t want to visit Davey Jones’ locker, ye best start talking like a pirate.
“Well… So much for the legendary hobo gold.”
The previous post had a link to NY Times web site. The Times has policy where after 2 weeks theire online articles go down the memory hole into a paid archive repository. Suppesedly, this nifty site provides a way for you access to the articles for forever. Check back in a couple of weeks to see if this post can still access the article.
“She’s even infused the meringue with an insoucient hint of lemon zest.”
An article from NYTimes (reg req’d) about 30 minute meals. No not Racheal Ray, but the need for those who do the cooking to provide something other than leftovers at each meal. I need to learn how to cook. I would love to cook my own dinners. Maybe help me get a girlfriend.
“The monkey clown horrible karate round and yummy like cute small baby chick would beat the donkey.”
I have told you of my fondness for CBS’s reality series, The Amazing Race. I have it TiVo’d, but still watch it live. Well, they are concluding this season next week with a two hour finally.
Today’s episode had them visiting the motherland. They rode in jeepneys and pushed around caribous. There are only four teams left, and today was the final non-elimination leg of the race. Next week we find out who wins. I am rooting for Chip and Kim, but actually think the Bowling Moms may squeek by. That Colin dude needs some anger management courses or he may eventually beat up his girlfriend and teammate, Christie. As for the Lord’s team, they look like they may finish in the middle of the pack. Not bad, but not millionaires in the end.
I hope you watch the season finale.
“How could she, Dave? How could she… french her daddy?”
A blog from a NY escort. Is she for real? Don’t know, but I am sure that this will titillate someone. Enjoy.

A superb write up about the many new features found in BBEdit 8. What are you waiting for? The cost got you down. Check out the hint at the end of the article to get it for what seems like a song.
#437. It’s hard to fly with the eagles when you’re surrounded by turkeys.
I just started graduate school last week. I am concentrating on Software Engineering. Hopefully, I will post more often about software engineering topics. I can talk for days on end about it, but I find it hard to write about out. I usually converse with coworkers about software engineering principles, and I am sure they are as tired of my myriad observations, so that going to school should help in giving me another outlet for my rants.
