Well, I’m here at work, it’s 6:!4, and I’m thinking about getting some beer. While I don’t actualy have any beer, I did stumble upon this site: 99 bottles of beer.
It’s got the lyrics to 99 bottles of beer, in just about any programming language ever invented.

So, I was talking to my Ex on im and she was saying how it was taking too long to burn a cd. I pointed out that she had a 48x cd burner and it should take almost no time at all. She responded with it takes 2:43, and that’s too long.
Thats when the epiphany struck.
One can now download an entire album and burn it to a cd, in less time than it takes your average construction worker to take a dump.
Technology is amazing, huh?
So, I was walking back from the corner store a few minutes ago, and I decided I really need a crotch rocket.. Because I need something that weighs 500lb and has a 100hp between my legs.
Something like a CBR or Ninja or GSX or something. I’ve been thinking about it a lot recently; ever since I moved 5 blocks away from work and don’t drive all that much anymore. Chicks dig guys on bikes, plus they’re just plain cool.
So, I got my Vegas tickets..and behold the power of the infalliable computer; they were in the wrong name. So, I get on their website to look up the customer care number. Find it.. that’s good, dial it and what do I hear?
(For those who care, the number is: 1-800-243-8327)
Welcome to the Anheuser-Busch Employee Assistance Hotline….
Them theres the makins for some good old fashioned drunk prank calling….
So, I ran across a link which is cool for you RSS people out there (I am too).
Found on alterslash. He provides both a regular RSS and a full RSS feed.
What’s sweet about this is the full RSS feed contains more than just the slashdot.org headlines –it has the whole post including some of the highest moderated comments

Speaking of RSS though, for any of you Microsoft Outlook users out there who want to get cool stuff in your inbox (like RSS news feeds) without going to web pages all day, check out NewsGator. It’s an incredible RSS aggregator that can handle nntp (usenet news) as well. Almost all of the MSDN guys over at microsoft keep blogs that are syndicated in RSS. They can be found at blogs.msdn.com
So, Python goes .NET. Kind sweet, actualy, even though I don’t know Python.
Some features:
Fast – IronPython-0.6 is up to 1.7x faster than Python-2.3 on the standard pystone benchmark. An early performance report is are contained in this paper for PyCon 2004.
Integrated with the Common Language Runtime – IronPython code can easily use CLR libraries and Python classes can extend CLR classes.
Fully dynamic – IronPython supports an interactive interpreter and transparent on-the-fly compilation of source files just like standard Python.
Optionally static – IronPython also supports static compilation of Python code to produce static executables (.exe’s) that can be run directly or static libraries (.dll’s) that can be called from other CLR languages including C#, VB, managed C++ and many more.
Managed and verifiable – IronPython generates verifiable assemblies with no dependencies on native libraries that can run in environments which require verifiable managed code.
So, went on a bar crawl tonight after work. First we went to B.O.G. (Bar of the Gods). $1 pints of PBR kept us there for a while. I lost 4 games of pool to Casey. My only redemption was winning one game, which means it wasn’t much of a redemtion. After that we hit up the Space room, which has, hands down, the best bloody mary’s I’ve ever had. Got into an argument about the neceisities of coming in on time with a couple of fellow co workers, but it was all good.
BOG is a really cool place, if you can get there before the croud and Space Room is kind of interesting, if not overly smokey. Speaking of which, be proud of me, I quit smoking last week 
Pics in the gallery soon.

So, apparently, by “Party Like a Rock Star” Rock Star Energy Drink doesn’t mean to drink out of the can really fast then slam the can down, causing some super caffinated liquid vitamin type drink to splash back into your eye. That made me cry like a Rock Star.
So, this week is just rocking so far. Karaoke from Hell on Monday, and this Saturday, I’m going to Vegas. Got an awsome deal on the trip. $310 including round trip air fair, hotel, all taxes, unlimited drinks at the hotel bar (including premium beers), and free lunches every day I’m there. I’ll be there from Saturday morning (flight leaves around 9am) untill Monday evening. DefCon is going to be going on that weekend in Vegas as well, so hopefully I’ll be able to catch part of that.
So, in my inbox every day, I get rss feeds from several blogs, mostly from MSDN peeps. Here was a post from a guy named Cyrus..

The mic rula, the old-schoola; you wanna trip? i’ll bring it to ya.
Due to my amazing detective skills (*cough* and the fine folks who do the closed captioning at turner) I now know the words to the Aqua Team Hunger Force opening. What’s even more amazing is that I now know the words sopen during the credits are “dancing is forbidden“. That’s something I would have never guessed. The opening, (in all it’s glory for all those who have wanted to know) is:
My name is shake zula, the mic rula, the old-schoola; you wanna trip? I’ll bring it to ya.
Frylock and I’m on top; rock you like a cop. Meatwad you’re up next with your knock-knock
Meatwad make the money see. Meatwad get the honeys G. Driving in my car, living like a star, ice on my fingers and toes and i’m a Taurus.
Cause we are the Aqua Teens, make the homeys say ho and the girleys want to scream.
“I’m a Taurus“!!! I’ve been trying to figure out that line for years!

So Evan and I went to Dante’s last night for Karaoke From Hell. It’s an incredible show, specialy for only $2 cover. The premise of the show is karaoke… The twist is, instead of getting some lame drunk japanese tourist up on stage singing to a music video, there is a live band that plays all the songs and people get up and sing the lyrics. This one guy actualy did a really good job of singing a song he had translated entirely into Klingon. Everyone I’ve seen do it, is incredibly awsome and usualy sound just like the original, sometimes better. Pics are in the gallery, under Dante’s. Sorry about the quality, they were taking with my picture phone.
Well, this is my first stab at blogging. I’m still in the process of setting up my web page, so hopefully this will flesh out some more pretty soon. I plan on putting in a picture gallery here pretty soon too. Camera phones are awsome, ’nuff said.
