Inception

I saw the film Inception tonight.

It was double rainbow all the way!

Seriously... it is a brilliant film filled with subtle details, nuances, and plenty of unpredictable questions.  I'm still working it all out in my head.  I loved this film.

Google Reader Patch

Woot!  Got this in the mail today.  Looks like I was one of the fast ones.

Shameless Plug

So, Ash got me to check out this thing called Dropbox.  It's a folder sync/upload thing... they give you 2GB of space for free!  (you can earn even more space, up to 8GB, via referrals and stuff).

One of the best things about this system is that it syncs folders on multiple computers at the same time, in realtime.  It also lets you create shared sync folders with other Dropbox users!  Collaboration on projects is absurdly easy using this system.  Oh, and there's clients for iPhone/Android too!

All in all, this thing is crazy impressive.  It's rock solid.  It also has undelete and other features.  Go check it out!

What would Freud say?

So, the other night I had a strange dream...

My father, wife, and myself go to Taco Bell for some reason or another to have dinner.  They are having one of those promotions involving scratch-off cards.  These cards are folded in half, so you have to open them to get to the scratch-off area.

My father, who needs glasses to read, asks me to see what his says, as he had apparently forgotten his glasses again.  This is not an unusual thing, either.  So, I look down, expecting it to say he won a free soft taco... and see it says "$50,000/yr for Life (or 134 Years)".  I found the specificness of 134 years to be particularly odd.  Suddenly, my wife starts giggling in excitement.  I look at her and she's holding her own scratch-off ticket.  She says that it's a winner for $200,000!  I tell her that we need to not spend it on frivolous things and save it to pay off her student loans when she graduates from Pharmacy School.
I then realize I also have a scratch-off ticket... I open it and find that it was already scratched-off.
"Not a Winner".
Then I realize it has 2 hot sauce packets stapled to the inside as well.

"Figures.", I say.  I then wake up.

Worked Late Today...

Today was nutty.

People kept coming in to the store, and I had a pickup truck to vinyl graphicify...
I wound up getting started cutting the material at 1600.  We close at 1700.
Thanks to Kim, we got the entire thing cut, papered, and applied by 1815.


It turned out really nice:

The "Old Man" Jokes Have Begun

This morning, as I was shaving, I made a discovery... white hairs on either side of my head.
Not just gray... they are pure white.

I'm getting oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooold.

My wife has already started the wisecracks calling me "old man."
Altho, anything that likens me to Edward James Olmos' William Adama is welcome.
The man made ladies swoon.  And he was a badass.


So... yeah.
