I’ve been watching the NBA for thirty years, and a Lakers fan since they got Kareem in the late 70s. If I was coaching an NBA team and could pick any player who ever lived to take a game winning (or losing) shot, it wouldn’t be Jerry West, Kareem, Michael, Magic or Larry. It would be Robert Horry. The look on his face when he takes the kinds of shots like the one that sent the Trailblazers home whimpering again would make you think he could care less if he made or missed them. No fear, no determined look, just…
Dave says ” What email has become.
Dave says “What email has become. 2/3 spam. 1/5 viruses. A bunch of ad hominems, sprinkled with a few interesting messages.” I couldn’t agree more. I checked my email after getting out of the hospital and found that 85% of it was spam or viruses. Email has already gotten to be more of an annoyance than a benefit. What the hell can you do?
Ouch
Getting a gall bladder taken out doesn’t sound like a big deal (at least I never thought of it in such terms), but I have a greater appreciation for that little organ now. I had mine taken out on Friday and will be out of commission for at least another week.

Are Gates and Ballmer lying? Dave runs an interesting survey on the Scripting News webpage. What does it tell us? Well, it tells us there are at least six Kool Aid-drinking MicroSofties who read Scripting News. This number may rise as more of them discover the joys of Scripting News.

Two months and counting to Ireland. Yeehaaa!

I got a call from my wife this afternoon at work; she was very distressed. She had stopped off at Walmart on the way home, and while she was inside someone stole a package out of her truck that my parents had sent us. As today was our anniversary we both assumed the worst, and that someone had made off with our anniversary present. She called my mother when she got home, and found out that the package contained a pair of pants that I had left at their home a few weeks ago on a one night layover on…
“Quote Me!” macro? I posted this idea on the RU discussion group.
“Quote Me!” macro? I posted this idea on the RU discussion group. When you see a weblog post that you want to quote, you can simply click on the “quote me!” link after the post, and it takes you to your own RU desktop, with the text of that story (links, graphic links and all), placed in the text area for you to edit and comment on before posting to your own weblog. Just one more way to make blogging a bit easier, perhaps? Greg is not too fond of the idea, and offers an alternative. Hmm. Yes it is…

Revitalizing Native Languages. This is a great feature from the Great Falls (Montanta) Tribune on the efforts to revitalize native American languages, and includes a nice bit on our Punana Leo schools.
I just saw my first Hawai’i CD adorned with a sticker that said “Will not play on PC/Mac.” Of course I did not buy it, and would encourage others to boycott it as well
I just saw my first Hawai’i CD adorned with a sticker that said “Will not play on PC/Mac.” Of course I did not buy it, and would encourage others to boycott it as well. Fortunately it was one of those compilations that I abhor, and contained nothing that I would have wanted anyway. Wake up guys. Once a single person figures out how to crack these encryption schemes the songs will be up on Morpheus and whatever Napster replacements are out there, so all you are doing is pissing off people like me who do buy CDs and like to…
