“Honey, I’m going googling! Errr I mean shopping!”
The mission of the stores is to get new Google Nexus, Chrome, and especially upcoming products into the hands of prospective customers. Google feels right now that many potential customers need to get hands-on experience with its products before they are willing to purchase.
The new DoA (Dead or Alive) will give people the option of playing with titties.
This is just creepy. Not because I could imagine a bunch of horny dudes having several hours of fun playing with digital titties (Gmod has plenty of that going on anyway) but they look like living objects that want to break free from her chest. Seriously, what the hell? Did she have jello breast implants or something?
Seems quite a few people think this is the best game addition ever. Now they just have to make some kind of game where you do nothing but play with titties and asses. That’s it, nothing else. I’m sure they’d still sell billions. 8)
Yesterday was a nice 77 degree winter day. It was so nice that I decided to go for a cherry lime soda. I figured with the last 6 days of work I’d enjoy a bit of me time.
Enjoyed some linux beta testing too. My XLR cable arrived finally (and with the arrival of Tux for TF2 not a moment too soon) so plugged in and BS’d in mumble with Yutram while downloading all of the linux games in my library. I installed World Of Goo and that seemed to work ok, other than there was no sound for whatever reason. Faerie Solitare didn’t work, nor did Psychonauts, didn’t test Amnesia or Dungeons of Dredmor yet. CS:S worked, but Half Life and original Counter Strike were kinda trippy. There was some strange physical latency. I could turn my mouse just fine with no lag whatsoever, but it constantly lagged in the engine itself. I’m not sure how to explain it. Hell if I just stood there I would bob up and down on the floor or be raised up to the ceiling. With the constant bobbing it looked like I was humping everything, including Barney. He’d let me out of the train and he’d do the moon walk back to the system terminal, where my game would take over and start bobbing up and down while standing behind him. I wish I could have filmed it. Then he’d wave his magic fingers in mid air and open up the door to Black Mesa.
Weird Stuff.
Logged into Ubuntu today to test out my preamp with new cables (works great btw! I sound a bit different, but that’s to be expected), and found out about this.
Tux comes in 3 different styles. Regular, Demoman, and Pyro.

I intend to stream the radio plays of The Hobbit over four weeks and Lord Of The Rings over eleven weeks.
I would stream a one hour episode each week.
I could play the whole lot in one session over 15 hours! but I think one hour each week will do.
This will start the week after Heritage Night ends in the same slot as Heritage Night.
I can’t give an exact date as yet, in case HN is delayed on any of the remaining weeks.Please let me know if you are interested in this.
If there is not enough interest or serious objections, I will abandon the idea.I will give further details closer to the time.

Not sure why it was deleted. But at least it was undeleted. 😉
Ok, I HAVE to write about this. It’s just too fucking stupid to pass up.
Did you know that if you use birth control your womb will be full of dead fetuses? Srsly!
Swanson: I’m beginning to get some evidence from certain doctors and certain scientists that have done research on women’s wombs after they’ve gone through the surgery, and they’ve compared the wombs of women who were on the birth control pill to those who were not on the birth control pill. And they have found that with women who are on the birth control pill, there are these little tiny fetuses, these little babies, that are embedded into the womb. They’re just like dead babies. They’re on the inside of the womb. And these wombs of women who have been on the birth control pill effectively have become graveyards for lots and lots of little babies.
MURDER!!!!!! That’s right up there with all of the eggs they have that go to waste each time they have a period… Bad women, very very bad! Those could be people too!
Today I got called in early due to a sick call. Pretty good to get extra hours, in fact I’m getting extra ones tomorrow. The downside is that lately we have been even more understaffed than usual due to too many sick people and not enough employees to replace them. And we can’t hire anymore due to “not having enough hours to give out”.
In fact I’ve slacked off quite a bit on my blogging due to just being tired lately. Granted it’s been quiet over the weekend, but I’ve pretty much been doing the work of 3 people. We’re supposed to have 5 people total during the evening and even then we can hardly make ends meet. So you can imagine what it must be like having several sections to cover and only 3 people total running around. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: If we had a good union this wouldn’t even be an issue.
Just got home a bit ago and made some homemade shrimp chow mein! Yum! Great after a looong day. I was also greeted by some stuff that I ordered. Now I have even more tea and cocoa for my extremely large tea and cocoa collection. Speaking of that I’m enjoying some jade green tea in my Japanese iron tea pot.
Been pretty wiped these last couple of days. Don’t really feel like posting anything.
Think I’ll take the night off.
