I syndicated my new weblog for longer bits of writing and things I care more about. It’s http://www.contentgoeshere.com/ or contentgoeshere if you prefer to watch it syndicated here.

“Kanchana, a 17-year-old macaque, waits her turn to perform on stage in a monkey show in Lopburi province..”

In Newport, of course, on Jamboree. A little Ford Focus with a bumpersticker that said I MISS PRESIDENT REAGAN and a “Reagan Country” license plate holder.

The driver was a very normal-looking guy, only about 25.

Why is it the best site ever, you ask?

here’s why!

Never get so fat that you’re stuck with only one facial expression. stimps and I had a conversation about that problem, and in particular this well-known chef who has got stuck with what he thinks is a smile, but she felt looked more like he is passing Herve Villechaize. In any case, over about 400 lbs. you only get the one expression.

I wish I could find the pic of him garlanded with sausages. The cover of “Louisiana Kitchen” is bad enough, it looks like an explosion in a very greasy deli.

I went to my first meeting of the Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service the other day. Everyone there was a 75 year old retired guy. I was one of maybe 2-3 people under 40. I am going to help out and apply and go through all the background check bla bla because I think it’s important, but it will be a Cultural Challenge.

I successfully wrote a small program for work, getting over some of my Fear of Coding. I think I’d be good at programming if I could get past the fear. And the laziness, too. Always the laziness.

Ran into a friend today who is moving to Hawaii to do something vaguely religious; social service/missionary work I guess. I always thought missionaries went to trackless wastes like Outer Mongolia or Irkutsk or Yemen and got shot while starving and being eaten by pandas. Guess it’s not always that bad.

Dinner tonight with A., who is struggling with the insane bureaucracy of the school system. She had amusing and/or frightening anecdotes about: insane unprofessional teachers; cuckoo nutty administrators; pathetic didactic theories invented solely to save money by undereducating students and calling it progressive; and people hitting on her. People hit on her a lot because she’s The Blonde. She was pretty stressed. I think going to work, school, and home in three different counties is probably a bad idea.

My whole wheat bread is rising. Soon, I WILL DOMINATE ALL OF YOU WITH IT.

I hate system logging today. In general I hate logging, logs, and everything to do with storing information and parsing it later. Today is a day of special hatred.

However, I got a refund on my car insurance and I have sushi tonight.

Why is it that senior managers cannot use email properly? They do at least one of the following:

• No subject in email
• Entire email in subject
• Entire email in capital letters

They don’t write regular correspondence this way. They obviously didn’t write their papers in school this way. What gives?
