Good relations with the Wookiees, I have
We saw Revenge of those Sith last night at the Ziegfeld in midtown. Dang. That place has a huge screen, doesn't it? Those digital images sure look pretty.

Stars Wars movies, even though they suck a third of the time, are fun to attend even if you aren't a die-hard fan. Everyone cheers at everything. Little kids wave plastic light sabers.
Stupid childhood imprinting means that I feel tingly when that stupid Lucas Films logo appears on screen.

Was it good? Who knows? We all have such baggage coming into these stupid films.




Happy Birthday Stu
Stu celebrated his 20th or 40th or 19th birthday Saturday night. HonkyCracker and Becky, Evan from Picture Monkey and Hali, and Klutch.xls and ChrisQ were all there.
Woo! Party!
It was fun - and there was cake.



Politicians: Spooky
It seems like everyday our political landscape gets darker and scarier.


The search thing in Firefox
Do you use the little search box in Firefox? The one in the right corner? Did you know you can multiple search engines to it? This allows you to search IMDB or Wikipedia or happyrobot.
OK, for happyrobot, I am putting that together right now.
It will be handy, but probably only for me.





Dude, I am totally blogging this on the internet
We are at the busy local conglomerate drug store down the street from where we live. I am on a quest to find a stupid little pharmaceutical item and I ask Mrs. Robot, "Do you need anything while we are here?"

"We have toilet paper, right?"

"Oh yea, I bought some two weeks ago. I think we are fine for toilet paper", I say.

Mrs. Robot then replies, in a bit louder than normal voice,"Yea, but you had all that diarrehea the other day"

she slays me sometimes




TV Sneaks up on me
Last week it seemed that all the entertainment press was talking about the series Everybody kinda likes Raymond ending. I'm sitting there, in my dressing room getting ready for a stunt bike performance, and I am thinking, "Ending? Didn't this show just start?"
See, TV sneaks up on me. Apparently that show had been on the air for 27 years. Strange but true!


My new ID
The management company for the building where I spend my waking hours (i.e. work) is implementing a new security system kind of thing. They needed new photo IDs of everyone. My photo is the kind of photo they show on TV. Accompanied by a voiceover saying, "neighbors said he kept to himself".

It's bad. Ask me, I'll show it to you.






Microsoft Office + Dinosaurs
I know these ads have been out for a bit, but they are now on my block - have you seen these ads with the people with dinosaur heads? They are ads for the new Microsoft Office - and they imply that if you don't upgrade, you are some sort of dinosaur.

What percent of the features in MS Office do we actually use? Like 5%? 10%? I am basing this on my experience around my office where people can barely operate Word as it is. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like with so much software and operating systems, the innovations have way surpassed their user's skillsets.





Is it necessary to hyperlink everything?
Apparently so: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Star_Wars_Holiday_Special
