Oh Yeah. Happy Halloween!
by brian @ 22:31:51 - [perma-link]
I played with some EL wire this year, and found some goofy Elvis
glasses to answer the door giving candy to the kids. It was pretty
fun. I have some shoes that glow (so bad...). I mean go with the hat
and bolo. I was the "coolest cowboy ever" at the party we went to in
Santa Cruz the weekend before.
I need to figure out what to light up next

Retro???
by brian @ 20:17:34 - [perma-link]
How excited do you think I was to turn the corner at Target and see a HUGE R/C car. "Dodge Charger", it says. "No way!" I imagine as I step closer. I see "Retro Muscle" and let out a muffled "HFS! It is!...but it looks weird.."
How is a friggin 2006 model year car "Retro"???
Stil denied on a really big R/C '69 Charger...

At the Dog Park
by brian @ 15:29:36 - [perma-link]
I finally got flash to the park up the street (finally found it is more accurate). There was only one other dog here, but they weren't interested in playing after a meet & greet. We threw the frisbee instead.
And its time to get some new discs. Flash modified this one to be harder to throw and catch. I guess he needs more of a challenge.

Popcorn, anyone?
by brian @ 23:06:32 - [perma-link]
I picked up this popcorn machine at Fry's to put in my Home Theater. It makes pretty tasty popcorn, and won't take up too much space. And if I use it and don't clean it for a while, I'll get that authentic theater popcorn flavor!

Long time, no post...
by brian @ 15:06:42 - [perma-link]
I moved my RAID storage into my athlon box last week, and just now relocated the box to the basement. It booted up and needs to check the filesystem integrity on the 1.2 terabyte RAID parition. 277 days seems like a long time between checks. That's probably from way back when I first built it. I need to set up some monitoring so I don lose everything.
Thii gong to take a while.

Earthrace
by brian @ 11:10:10 - [perma-link]
Claudia and I went for a ride on the boat yesterday with Flash and
her new puppy, Bear 2.0 (she came up here to get him). The dogs were
really good on the boat. Flash is looking much more tolerant of the
ridiculous engine noise.
Anyhow... When we cruised up toward downtown Portland, we saw this
weird looking boat at one of
the docks. Earthrace is a boat from New Zealand that is planning to
make a record-breaking 65-day trip around the world sometime this
fall (according to their website).
According to specs, the boat's twin 540hp engines can push the 78-
foot long craft to a max speed of 45 knots. My boat is faster
(woohoo! pbbbbbt!), but not in the kind of chop and swells they'll
bust right through on the oceans. I should find out when they're
leaving and go chase them up to the Columbia :).

Pimped my ride!
by brian @ 00:53:06 - [perma-link]
I'm watching South Park. In my van. On about a 60" projection (on a, uh, bed sheet). This is so stupidly cool!

Pimped my brain!
by brian @ 00:55:23 - [perma-link]
My bad. The giant projection from the mac mini distracted me, and I forgot to attach the pictures. Duh.
