Another itch….

Now another itch is begging to be scratched. It’s another rabbit hole down which much time and energy can be dumped.

Can I switch from a Microsoft Windows Vista on my desktop to Ubuntu? I am writing this blog post from my old desktop which is currently running Ubuntu, and I am tempted. Oh my am I tempted.

The main drawback would be that my desktop is currently my primary World of Warcraft machine. And I use Ventrilo for raids… last time I tried that it didn’t work so well.

I know I should avoid this itch. I know that I have far too many things that I should be doing instead. But my inner geek soooo wants to scratch this!

I feel the itch again…

I am getting that familiar itch again. The one where I start thinking about what tools will make getting organized easier/better, instead of just doing that I am supposed to already be doing.

This is such a pretty trap to fall into. Because while you are exploring all the options and weighing the pros and cons, you don’t WANT to work on your current todo list or projects, because, you know, it could all change!

It WAS springtime in Wisconsin….

And then last night it snowed an inch or two. Our little flower survived though, we just had to dig a little to find it.

It's spring time in Wisconsin

As my wife was walking up from the mailbox today, she happily exclaimed, “I have flowers!”

So I grabbed the camera and went to the front planter, voila, the first flower of the year.

Oh yeah, and yesterday was when the snow finally melted in the front yard.

In case of emergency…

… break foil.

Contra Vs. Duck Hunt

Saw this on Paladin Schmaladin, I spent hours playing both games. Makes me want to go to my parents place and liberate the NES.

Don't talk to the police

While following some links and websites on the net, I ran across this video clip entitled “Don’t talk to the police”, everyone should watch this video.

It's morning.

On my way back to the office this morning, I decided to stop and take a picture of the sunrise over the lake. I missed catching the morning mist due to having to make a U turn and find a place to park first. Oh well.

I also managed to shoot this at 1600 instead of 200. My own fault for not checking it and not setting it back to 200 after getting some hummingbird pictures a couple days ago.

Even with all of those “issues”, I still like this picture though. It’s peaceful.

It's cold.

As we went to bed yesterday, $wife was rubbing her arms and legs all over me trying to warm up. I said, “Just call me Jungle Jim.”.
She stopped, sat up and said “What?”.
“It felt like you were climbing all over me.”, I said.

She told me to post this. :)

Dick on a stick

Thanks to my friends Tim and Jeanette, I now have my very own homicidal maniac plushy. A Dick on a stick!
