I find this really fascinating. The owner of this site buys old cameras and develops the film on them. Neat... and kind of creepy at the same time. Imagine if someone came across random photos of you a few decades later.

Party balloons?
I don't know where to get these balloons, but I want one!!!! (it would sure spice up the drive to the airport)
Pack the bags!
Well folks, the tickets have been reserved so it's official! I'm going to Australia and Singapore. (and not paying a dime for it) Next Thursday it's off to Australia, and then almost two weeks later I'll be heading to Singapore until early December.
Of course I'll be working, and I'd be crazy to spend all my free time blogging, so I have no idea if I'll actually do any blogging. (I'm not even sure if I can get a 50 to 60 Hz adapter suitable for my laptop.) Until then, I'll try to work in as much blogging as I can. And I'll try to get plenty of photos to post after I'm back.
Coffee anyone?
It's monday morning, which means it's time for the coffee prayer
(I stole this, but I don't remember from where)
(I stole this, but I don't remember from where)
Caffeine is my shepherd; I shall not doze.
It maketh me to wake in green pastures:
It leadeth me beyond the sleeping masses.
It restoreth my buzz:
It leadeth me in the paths of consciousness for its name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of addiction,
I will fear no Equal (tm):
For thou art with me; thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me.
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of Juan Valdez:
Thou annointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over.
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life: and
I will dwell in the House of Maxwell for ever.
AMEN!!

The engineer's perspective
From Megan:
Decisions and controls involving arousal.
A better explanation I have not found.

Slip, Skip, & Tripp: Attorneys at Law
I just did a little mental check of what some of my friends are doing. Yi is off at law school, I seem to recall Erin working on law school apps, and I just noted that Megan finished her law school applications. So I think it's time for me to post a little law related humor (a small thank-you for the engineer jokes and the plethora of viola jokes Megan has sent me)
It may be a little low brow but here it is anyway.
It may be a little low brow but here it is anyway.
TOP TEN THINGS THAT SOUND DIRTY IN LAW BUT AREN'T:
10. Have you looked through his briefs?
9. He is one hard judge!
8. Counselor, let's do it in chambers.
7. Her attorney withdrew at the last minute.
6. Is it a penal offense?
5. Better leave the handcuffs on.
4. For $200 an hour, she better be good!
3. Can you get him to drop his suit?
2. The judge gave her the stiffest one he could.
1. Think you can get me off?
Food for thought
I stole the idea from somewhere, but had some fun with this to put it together.

Good news, bad news
This trip is almost over so here's a quick recap.
Bad news: My rental car was lousy. Alignment was off, it was white (looks like a refrigerator) with road grime all over the place and scratches. The alignment was off too.
Good news: The folks at enterprise were VERY accomodating and took it back because of the alignment. They gave me a free upgrade to a Chevy Classic, one of my preferred rental cars. (I still wish they rented out more Fords, but that's coming from a man who has a blue oval tatooed on both cheeks)
Bad news: My flight is delayed for mechanical reasons so I'm stuck in Columbus for now.
Good news: The Columbus terminal has FREE WIFI!! Hence, I'm able to write this.
Bad news: The plant didn't have enough people on day shift to handle all the work I needed to do so I had to come in on night shift.
Good news: Since I worked a double shift I've got in over 40 hours this week (plus sympathy points) so it looks like I will only make a cameo appearance in the office before I head home for a good homemade meal (heck, maybe a beer too.)
All in all, not a bad trip. See everyone back in Chicagoland or Champaign!
