Tree Down The Road
Just some shots of a tree down the road from the house that got hit by lighting a couple of years ago.
Got a new camera and trying to learn it.

Jeff Fixed It!
Somebody hacked this sad, abandoned website. It’s not really worth the trouble, but now it makes me want to mess with it again.
Thanks to Jeff for unhacking it. Maybe we’ll come up with an idea of what to do with this place. Maybe more pictures. Maybe not.
Really, the only thing worth saving was the nice stuff people said about Ceepe and now that Jeff restored that all is right with the world again.

Dear ESPN
I’m having a hard time understanding the announcers of tonight’s Falcons/Bengals preseason game.
Could they please take Michael Vick’s cock out of their mouths?
Thanks.
Perhaps they can continue their Mr. Magnanimous pageant later. Perhaps after he serves one second of jail time?
In the meantime, best of luck with your continued efforts to put a shine back on the NFL, the crown jewel of your programming.

Jonathan Coulton Is Playing Three Dates In Texas
Just as I had written this off, it’s happening. I don’t know what to say other than to encourage folks to head out to Club Dada in Dallas on 9/19/07. I know I’ll be there.
You bring yourself. JC will bring the funny/nerdy/soft rock.
This is awesome.

It’s Been A Year
Ceepe died one year ago today. That’s a weird sentence to type.
Ceepe, we think about you a lot. Bridgette and I still comment to each other when we see something we think you would have laughed at.
I won’t go on and on. Just posting a reminder.
Hope you’re doing ok.

What The Sam Hell Is Happening In France
Vino - wins a dramatic stage and is thrown out of the race for doping.
Some Italian guy - busted for doping and gets the heave-ho.
Michael Rasmussen - bony guy who looks so much like a Batman nemesis when he wins a stage the wife and I call him “The Cycler” gets retroactively busted for not reporting where he trained and is fired from his team/kicked out of the tour he was about to fucking win.
Wow.
For the record, you have to tell the anti-doping people everywhere you go, especially your training locations. That prevents people from hiding out and dodging blood testing while getting really strong through illegal measures.
The Cycler told everybody (including his own team) he was in Mexico training when he had really been in Italy. The truth came out during the tour and his team thought they saw the writing on the wall and shit-canned him.
Lance Armstrong pointed out that he was taking his pregnant wife to the hospital to give birth when he was stopped by the anti-doping folks. He had to provide a sample or be considered guilty. They take things like this seriously.
As my good friend and mortal enemy Crackerjack observed of himself, he got the natural progression wrong having quit drugs to start cycling.
The NBA has a ref scandal, the NFL has Michael Vick, MLB has Barry Bonds, the NHL has a whole bunch of people not caring.
Maybe this is good to weed folks out. If baseball booted Bonds people would cheer the courage. Cycling does that and it somehow proves it’s the dirtiest sport going.
Maybe they’re just one step closer.

We Knew Her When She Was Too Good For Our Show
It was wild to see that Diablo Cody’s (and Wiki here) movie was in production with John Malkovich having a part in it. Now she has an order for a pilot on Showtime.
Back in the early days we email-hounded her to come on, back when she was a stripper with a funny/horny blog we liked.
Since then she has appeared on Letterman promoting her book and now all this.
Not to be outdone, I’m sitting here in my underwear watching a replay of today’s stage of the Tour de France already knowing the outcome, but watching anyway.
We’re both winners in life.

Thank You, ESPN2
Just watched the Rock, Paper, Scissors world championships.
I would have given ESPN everything I own to do commentary on this so it could be me on TV saying:
“He sticks with scissors!!” or “And he crushes with rock!! Such an incredible story of overcoming adversity!!”
Some guy just won $50,000 and got interviewed by some chick with an award-winning rack.
And with that, the start of the Tour de France has been eclipsed.

Transformers Stuff
This site is largely pointless. Just linking stuff now and since I watched Transformers as a kid, here you go.
At some point this place will get an overhaul. If there’s ever any progress in the adoption (at this point the wait is getting longer every month, not shorter) that might be the new focus. Or not. It doesn’t really matter.
Happy B-day, America. You’re my BFF.
