I’ve started listening to BinRev radio again. Yeah, I stopped a while back. There’s so much radio out there nowadays that it just sorta got shoved to the back burner. So now I’m on episode 76, which was aired in 2004. Depressing.
I need to get back on the forums, too.
People who make their living as inspirational speakers should be locked away.
I went into Pearle Vision today. When I was walking around the store, I accidentally bumped one of the computers. And what did I see? The XScreenSaver password prompt! Yes, Pearle Vision is running Linux. And not just in the backroom, these were the actual workstations out in the showroom. Cool stuff.
8: Pedestrians are a) irrelevant. b) communists. c) a nuisance. d) difficult to clean off the front grille. The correct answer is a. Pedestrians are not in cars, so they are totally irrelevant to driving, and you should ignore them completely.

I’ve finally finished cleaning and organizing all my data on my computer and started transferring it over to my laptop. My laptop’s 100GB hard drive now only has 15G free, and I still have roughly another 100GB that hasn’t been transfered yet. I think I’m going to buy a new 200GB hard drive and stick it in an external usb 2.0 enclosure I have. That should give me a little room to grow.
I watched Blue’s Clues yesterday. Apparently throughout the show you find 3 clues, left by Blue, and at the end put them all together to form some sort of game that Blue wants to play with you. The clues yesterday were water, a hose, and a ladder.
I was stumped.
It ended up that Blue wanted to play firefighters with me, but damn– kids these days must be smart. I might have gotten it if they had added in a helmet. Or a person.
In a few years Blue will probably have these kids solving Kryptos.
According to Anti-Polygraph, Albuquerque FBI are saying they won’t use polygraph tests anymore.
AntiPolygraph.org has learned that FBI Special Agent Leroy Chan, a polygrapher assigned to the Bureau's Albuquerque Field Office, has recently notified his chain of command of his decision not to conduct any more polygraph examinations. His decision is based on serious concerns regarding the validity of polygraphy. It is to be hoped that Special Agent Chan will not be subjected to reprisal for his morally courageous choice, and that other FBI polygraph examiners who share his justified concerns will follow his example of bravery, fidelity, and integrity. SA Chan is not the first FBI polygrapher to disavow polygraphy. Before him, Supervisory Special Agent Dr. Drew C. Richardson, a scientific expert on polygraphs assigned to the Laboratory Division, expressed his misgivings both to FBI management and in sworn testimony before the United States Senate: http://antipolygraph.org/hearings/senate-judiciary-1997/richardson-state ment.shtml
