Month: January 2002

I have been meaning to add the posts from September 2000 – April 2001 using Blogger for a long time, but never bothered to get around to doing it. Matter of fact, one of the things that really appealled to me about MovableType was that I could finally have all of my posts together again. So tonight I finally took 5 minutes and did it. You can find my old entries in the Archives if you are interested – all the way back to May, 2000, (my first blogging attempt, but I didn’t make it for too long).

Cinnamon Challenge 2001 [CC2K1]: In one mouthful, consume a tablespoon of McCormick Brand Ground Cinnamon without spitting it out or vomitting. Oh, the poor guy. I love the “conversion chart” at the end. Good for a laugh. (via MightyGirl, via Kottke.)

I was a 20-something dethroned dotcom CEO that went to work the counter at McDonald’s. Well now, that’s an interesting twist to things. Although in some ways, I can understand why he would do it. (via Kottke)

Sometimes people are amazing. A Hooters’ Patron wants surgery loan payback. Seems the guy visited Hooters a lot, and was chummy with a waitress. After awhile she supposedly asked him to pay for her boob job. And he did. Now he claims it was just a loan, she claims it was a gift. Either way, if you ask me – it’s strange. I might loan a close friend who I have known for years $4000. I would not loan that money to my favorite waitress (or waiter). Just would not happen. Better yet, the patron used a government-issued credit card to pay the doctor! Yes, the card says right on it “for official government travel only”. So I guess he didn’t mind the tab for her boob job, because in the end we might just all be stuck with the bill! People are amazing. (via the Netdork)

As soon as I get home I have to check to see if channel 16 on my TV is TechTV or just some lame municipal channel. The cable line-up on TimeWarner’s site says it might be TechTV, but it varies in different areas. I really want to check out Chris Pirillo’s show, “Call for Help”. If it’s on here, you know I will be Tivo-ing it.

Speaking of TV shows, thanks to David Gagne and the Weakest Link watch for him, I am becoming addicted to that show. The night before last some lame chick missed the “What planet and Disney character have the same name” question. She actually said Venus. Uh, no. It just cracks me up how clueless they are. Yeah, so I am easily amused. Anyways, still no sign of David, but I am Tivo-ing that every night now too watching for him. I like the British host woman better. This American guy … well, half the time he sounds like her, using her lines & vocal influctions. Then the rest of the time he just seems a little off. I guess it bugs me that he has the black clothes and black glasses too, just like she wears on the episodes she hosts.
