Dunvegan

Do you ever get the feeling that you are being watched, and then you turn around and you are being watched by some creepy seven foot tall homeless guy with no teeth? He then looks away and you go on picking garbage out of the dumpster behind the supermarket.

Well, as Matt has pointed out before... Google is watching you! Quick, run to the window and wave!

Jude's Monkey Blog

Just a couple months ago Jude and I decided to set up his own blog so that he can post stuff he's interested in. So far he has come up with two movies. He wrote down the ideas, talked with his sisters Ashley and Aravis, and had them star in his short films. You can follow this link to see what he's posted... http://judesmonkeyblog.blogspot.com/ I reccomend watching the film "Soccer" first, and then "Frisbee" considering that you should almost always watch movies in the order they were filmed.

Do You Gmail?

I know some of you are on the Gmail, some are not. When I started up my gmail today I noticed it looked a little different. The colors were a little bolder, it looked cleaner. So I snooped around and found that the Google team had added 'Themes' to their mail program allowing users to 're skin' their email account. It's these simple little things that I love about the Inter-web-net-tubes. Now I just spend 10 minutes looking through all the themes to find the one that's right for me... which one is right for you (gmailers)?

If you're not already on gmail and still use something else (Yahoo? Come on Dave!) you should switch... it'll be like giving yourself an early Christmas present.

Enjoy.

In The Next Four Years

I am not one to make predictions or talk at length about politics. Here, however, are some things that I am looking forward to over the next four years:

1. Finally getting a gun --- Not knowing how long we will have this right (or even the right to talk about it) I will get a gun to protect my family and my rights.

2. Move to Texas --- I am really hoping that in the next week or so Texas announces it's succession from The Union. I really don't want a war here, but it would be nice to have an oil-rich country to move to.



3. Purchase a hybrid, hover-car --- this really has nothing to do with the election or moving to Texas, I just think we're well overdue for hover-cars and I think it would be really sweet.

So what are you looking forward to (if anything)?

Here Comes The Sun, Doot Doo Doo Doo...

And now for something...

...completely different.

This from the deep tomes of the inter-tube-web:

Alles Neu - Peter Fox



I apologize if this guy uses profanity in his music, but it's in German. In German, everything sounds like profanity.

A Vote for Capitalism

Driving Elisabeth to the Benners' this morning, we passed the Catonsville Middle School. Cars lined the street for several blocks, and the line of people stretched far down the sidewalk. I decided to wait until mid-morning before going to the polls, thinking the lines would have diminished. At 10:00 am, cars were stretched up and down the street in front of Westowne Elementary, and the line of people there looked just as long as the line I had seen earlier. It moved quickly, however, and it was only about a half-hour from the time I got on line until I had voted.
One entreprenurial fifth grade class had stategically placed a large table of sweets for sale as a fund raiser for their Philadelphia field trip and even had students pacing up and down the waiting line selling drinks and snacks. Does anyone else think it's odd that Capri Sun sells for $0.50 while water sells for $1.00?
I don't remember the voter turn-out being so high in any other presidential election in which I participated. Are the others finding the same results where you're voting?
