So today is the last day of February.  That is sad.  In some ways.  In other ways it is a very good thing, because it means that it is one month closer to not being cold anymore…. and also one month closer to my being married….  which is cool…. and exciting….. and a lot of work.  I messed around in photoshop a bit earlier working on trying to design an invitation.  I dunno if I am going to even bother with save the dates, due to the fact that by the time I have all the addresses and such I need to send them out, it will already be time to send invitations anyway, so who needs save the dates?  All the important people already know anyway… not that you aren’t important if you don’t know… you just… aren’t vitally important to the wedding 😉  But hopefully you can come.  For anyone who reads this and doesn’t know, because I don’t know if I’ve said it here or not…. July 21st is the absolute definitely for certain date.  The wedding and reception sites are set, and there is no question whatsoever.  So the only plans you want to make for those dates is to be at our wedding here in good ol Frederick, MD.

But yeah…  Photoshop kills my powerbook.  Well, not really kills I guess… but it runs really slow doing filters and all that stuff.  Makes me want that new Macbook Pro all the more.  Though I guess until CS3 comes out it won’t make much of a difference, since it would be running through Rosetta anyway…  ah well, still would be able to do way more with it than I can with this….  just having good battery life, a superdrive, and the ability to dual-boot windows is enough reason to upgrade.

Ah well… I am done boring you with this now.

Carry on about your lives 😉

So apparently I not not allowed to get temporary access badges anymore because it “always takes a long time for me to bring them back.”  Even though it only ever took me more than a day or 2 one time.  I would have just kept the damn thing if I’d known that ;).

So that is ESS’ birthday present to me.

I would prefer that all other presents involve giving something to me instead of taking it away.  Unless it’s like…. an ability to die.  You can take away my ability to die if you want.  I wouldn’t mind being immortal.

Ok I have nothing to say about badgers.  Goodbye.

So I am assuming this is in regular news as well… I mostly only read news posted on Digg, so… yeah.  But anyway, this has been all over there…  but…. this whole “Boston Bomb Scare” thing?  Yeah.  People are idiots.

If you don’t know, these “bombs”, were actually a guerilla advertising campaign for the new Aqua Teens Hunger Force movie.  That’s the adult swim cartoon featuring a shake, a fry, and a meatball, if you don’t know.  If you are familiar with the show, you would recognize these “bombs” as displaying a mooninite that would be flipping you the bird.

so, what are these “bombs” exactly?  and what makes them so suspicious?

They are circuit boards.  With LEDs on them.  Yes, LEDs.  That light up.  You know, so you can see them.  Especially at night.  To draw attention to themselves.  Yeah, every time I see a small board with LEDs on it, I immediately think, “OMFG, it’s a bomb!” and then I run screaming.

Call me crazy, but if terrorists placed bombs throughout a city, I don’t think they are going to make them light up.  I think they would just place them there, and then blow them up.  Especially if they were all over the city, and the bombs were being discovered, something tells me they’d just set them off.

Anyway, I hope you agree with me, because this is one issue that… if you don’t agree with me, I’m sorry, but, you may just be an idiot.

Oh, and here is a video of the boards being constructed and placed around Boston.
