Lazy Saturday

Things I did today:

Subscribed to Geek magazine
Spent way too long installing Office 2010 64-bit. WTF - why do I have to be a ninja to do this.
"Obtaining" Snow Leopard Bootcamp 3.0 in a vain attempt to install functioning drivers for Windows 7 on this Macbook. What a fucking joke. Seriously Apple - if you advertise the machine can run Windows, then it should...I don't know... RUN WINDOWS. Wrote a scathing blog post referencing ecstasy-addled 14 year old eastern european programmer. Can't find it tho.
Finished "House of Suns" by Alistair Reynolds (probably one of the best hard-science writers out there. Except this time he kept to relativity and made me travel at sub-light speed for the duration of the 1000 page novel. Sacrilege.)
Started "The Sex Lives of Cannibals" on the recommendation of a friend. So far, hilarious. I wish I was this funny.
Worked for several hours - got email down to 20. SUCK IT!
Watched Infomania on CurrentTV - the best show I'm pretty sure no one is watching.
Played with my daughter - she painted rocks, decorated a beanie baby, and is not hitting golf balls into the Sound.
Listened to MJ way too many times.

I love Saturdays.

As a physics geek, I love the calcs they overlay on this video. And the ending is awesome…

WTF? First, I get the ad for Hot Christian Singles (sorry, married and unless they worship me as their personal savior, I’m not interested). Now I get the “Church for the Rest of Us” ad – kinda like Festivus, but for holy gatherings.

Somewhere I obviously have a bad setting in my FB profile.

Talking about Auto industry bailout plan dies in the Senate - Autos- msnbc.com

Frigging staggering. If this really is true (that the UAW balked at wage cuts after their ridiculous pension plans, healthcare for anyone whose ever sneezed on pleather seats until they and their fourth generaiton offspring die, and wages higher than Japanese auto makers' American workers), then it cements my view that unions need to be broken in this country...now.

Talking about FCC Chair To Push Free Porn-Free Internet

Please, please get this administration out of office. It can't happen too soon.

Not that I'm saying I want p0rn on the free interweb, but for God's sake, there are more important policy issues to work out on this topic other than content filtering.

Kevin Martin - hasta, you little turd.
