I have more memory........

More memory for the computer, that is.

I wish I could upgrade my personal memory.

I'm fairly absent minded and unfortunately.....I have passed this trait onto our daughter. We had an appointment yesterday where she needed several forms of ID to get a TB shot. Whoops, she left them at home. No biggie-just a short drive home to retrieve the documents-I do the same thing all the time.

I'm going from 512 megs to a full gig on the computer. I've never cracked the case on this box, I have to buy some compressed air to clean out the dust bunnies and hopefully everything will go smoothly.

Hearing test..........I can hear up to 14,000 at normal volume. After that, I have to turn the volume way up to hear the tones. I'm 46 and went to my share of AC/DC concerts when I was a kid......damn, I'm getting old.

Yahoo e-mail worm. This is the first I've heard of this, but better to be safe then sorry.

I'm not really much of a Britney Spears fan, but Holy Mother of God.....why can't they leave the poor girl alone?

Most Windows users have worms. No, not those kind of worms....these kind of worms. Here's a tool to see if you have worms,trojans or any other nasties.

Here's a really good piece about how to assemble a bike. Which is why you should never buy a Wal-Mart bike unless you already know how to fix bikes.

I took a short ride with the Surly on the new 28 mm tires. I have them pumped up to 80 psi and the difference between it and the Cannondale with it's 23 mm tires is like the difference between full suspension and a rigid hardtail. Niiiiice:-)

Here's a photo that will make any serious cyclist smile.

Google Earth 4 is out.

Today's science break. I've been on vacation and I've taken an afternoon nap every day so far and I've been feeling great with the added sleep. And it might explain why our daughter sleeps in until 11 AM in the summer.

Killer fat. Makes me feel like a tobacco farmer instead of a baker.

I don't crash too many programs, but when I do-it's nice to not have the "Error Reporting" box pop up. Here's how to disable it.

Today is Patch Tuesday if you run a Windows box. It looks like a biggie.

Today's totally inappropriate joke...........
Vegas Cab Ride A successful businessman flew to Vegas to gamble for the weekend. He lost the shirt off his back, and had nothing left but a quarter and the second half of his round trip ticket. If he could just get to the airport he could get himself home. So he went out to the front of the casino where there was a cab waiting. He got in and explained his situation to the cabbie. He promised to send the driver money from home, he offered him his credit card numbers, his driver's license number, his address, etc. but to no avail. The cabbie said, "If you don't have $15, get the hell out of my cab!" So the businessman was forced to hitchhike to the airport and barely made it in time to catch his flight. One year later, the businessman, having worked long and hard to regain his financial success, returned to Vegas and this time he won big. Feeling pretty good about himself, he went out to the front of the casino to get a cab ride back to the airport. Well who should he see out there, at the end of a long line of cabs, but his old buddy who had refused to give him a ride when he was down on his luck. The businessman thought for a moment about how he could make the guy pay for his lack of charity, and he hit on a plan. The businessman got in the first cab in the line. "How much for a ride to the airport?" he asked. "Fifteen dollars," came the reply. "And how much for you to give me oral sex on the way?" "What? Get the hell out of my cab." The businessman got into the back of each cab in the long line and asked the same questions, with the same result. When he got to his old friend at the back of the line, he got in and asked, "How much for a ride to the airport?" The cabbie replied, "Fifteen bucks." The businessman said, "Okay," and off they went. Then, as they drove slowly past the long line of cabs, the businessman gave a big smile and thumbs up to all the other drivers.

Still having fun on vacation...............

Till later.
