According to king5 news here in Seattle, some port of Seattle police officers received or sent or forwarded on some porn or “racist” emails (the “racist” email they used as an example was a video (probably a link to a video) of some guy picking up some Hispanic day laborers, and instead of taking them to a job, drove them to an INS office). According to the King 5 investigators,
Over a two-year period, 32 officers either received, saved, or passed on more than 175 inappropriate e-mails.

Hooked up and installed the Now Reading plug-in for WordPress. So now on the right side you can see the books i’m reading/read lately. I might go back and backfill some other books i’ve read lately as i find time. If you’re reading this via an RSS feed, you wont see any of that stuff, though, so here’s a link to the library. I’ll have to see if there’s a RSS feed plug-in for the “now reading” plug-in!
A partial video of laura driving home last night in the hail. The original video goes on for another minute, just as much hail. Note: that isn’t snow on the ground. thats all hail! Its fun to watch the hail bounce off the hood, then off the windshield. ping ping!

If you don’t even know what i’m talking about already, then you aren’t using the internet right. I saw the “new numa” video today on the gootube, and i just think it is interesting how 2 people made famous by stupid internet videos took totally different paths. Even more interesting is how both of the original videos pre-date youtube, and pretty pretty much started the viral video thing. I remember watching the star wars kid videos off of a 32M thumb drive someone brought to a party. People were almost as excited to see this new thumb drive thing as they were to see the video.
Follow the jump for youtube videos of what i’m talking about. if you don’t know, you’ve missed out!

So I got some Barnes&Noble gift cards for xmas/birthday this year. I went to their website, and not only are the things i was looking for more expensive than Amazon, i get to the payment page, and i see this:
Only one Gift Card or Certificate can be redeemed per online order. To redeem multiple Cards or Certificates, select the Pay by Phone method below.
Brilliant. Well, B&N isn’t getting my money today, i don’t have the time or energy to call anyone. I just bought a bunch of stuff from amazon using 4 gift certificates that i had. I wonder how much $$$ B&N loses because people give up like this when they get all the way to the ordering page?

During lunch today i watched the most amazing thing ever. I watched live coverage of 2 spacewalking astronauts messing with a solar panel on the international space station. What a marvel of technology we have nowadays: I can sit in my office, and via the internet watch 2 guys at work in outer space, banging on stuff with a scraper, or shaking a solar panel to make it open, seeing it all through the camera on the astronauts’ helmets. All the while listening to them talk. My job would be so boring on a camera. |

It started out so well. A beautiful sunset on the ship canal bridge coming into Seattle. We were on our way to the Monday Night Football game between the Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks. Oh how decieving a pretty sunset can be! The game was awesome (even as a Packer fan!), but the ride home was….not so good. We were at the game for 4 hours, 5:30-9:30 pm. We were in the car for 3 hours and 36 minutes to get home. And its only 23 miles… For more pics and more story, follow the jump! |

Every once and a while, it actually snows in the seattle area. From the Seattle traffic cameras, it doesn’t look like much of Seattle proper got any snow, but we live in what is called the “puget sound convergience zone”. So when seattle doesn’t get “it”, we get it instead. We got between 2-4″ of snow yesterday and today. There was enough snow, and it was wet enough to make snowmen and everything. Leave it to the neighbors to take it up a notch… |
