Ahoy Mateys,
I have, for the last week, been a little addicted to online Battleship.
I can't remember exactly how I got to this wonderful Atari games site,
but it has been the death of me! I love the thrill of shooting
strategically aimed missiles at my enemy's ships - placed either oh-so
predictable or intricately calculated. I have a couple strategies when
playing battleship. Are there any readers who have any strategies of
their own? Are there any readers at all?

And for the news:
Last night was a sad night. There was an unexpected death in the family
- suicide, actually. My wife and I came home from last night from
rehearsal to the most terrible sight lying motionless on our bathroom
floor. Stiff, dried up, with no breath at all in his lungs. My wife
screamed. I ran to see what the commotion was about. My wife was holding
in her hands her beloved friend. He had always been a bitter, grumpy
man, nonetheless a faithful companion. She did all she could to try and
bring her friend back to life. But, at 10:08pm, her pet Betta fish died.

"Grumpy Fish" RIP.

Random thought:
I realized a couple weeks ago that my urine smells alot like buttered popcorn. That led me to think: Would my local movie theatre use human urine to dilute my butter? It is quite troubling. I doubt I'll ever be able to eat popcorn the same way again.

I heard someone in the office talking about this "me" generation that is made up of 10-20ish yr olds. Everything is about me. ipod, myspace, youtube, etc. But instead of talking about how to deal with this "issue" the individual kept whining, complaining and continued to demur the generation that she is supposed to be reaching out to.
Instead of belittling the culture of this generation , why don't we use this connotation of me & I and reverse it to inspire self-worth and a sense of self-purpose in these kids - reach out to these teens and tweens. We know so much about them but instead of taking this knowledge for our advantage we use it to diminish their potential and the embryonic resources that they hold.

That's it for now... writers block is a female dog.

Ahh, it’s a beautiful day! It started out looking pretty crappy, but I left the office to go have lunch with my beautiful wife and BAM, it’s sunny and warm! It’s quite the nice change from the cloudy crap we’ve had the last couple days. Back to summer weather. Time to hit the beach, or the pool, or a cold shower, or something refreshing. Haha.
My take on news:

WWDC/Mac Rumors
I love this time of year. Its always great to hear rumors of what Mr. Jobs will be announcing at these riveting key note speaches. It is always fun to hear the rumors that people conjure up then have Stevie blow em out of the water with some crazy, "duh-why-didn't-I-think-of-that" gadget or feature. In my feeder I got this article from my friends at Engadget. (Well, they don't know they are my friends. And actually, I don't know any one of their names. But I like reading their blog every once in a while. But that's besides the point!) Today they had a link to an interesting interview with an anonymous Apple employee spillling about the upcoming conference, some rumors, and some things to look forward to. Hit it: DVD Newsroom

Mel Gibson
Ok, Mel Gibson is not a bigot. But the fact that his father was an antisemite probably doesn't help him. If anti-semitism was drilled into your head throughout your entire adolescence, you would probably have some deep rooted hatred agains jews even if it really wasn't your personal conviction. I have a deep rooted disgust against promiscuity, but when I hit puberty that doesn't mean that I didn't have my run at being promiscuous. All I'm saying is the only reason people are attacking Mel so much is because they have their own bigotry issues, be it with antisemitism, or racism against blacks, or even their own.

Delete Firefox Auto-Complete Entries

"You once fat-fingered your login name to a web site and now Firefox suggests the typo every single time in the auto-complete dropdown. So annoying!"

This link on LifeHacker is going to save me alot of headache. Don't you hate when you go to type in your email address and 10 MILLION mis-types pop down to try and guess your actual addy? Hit it: Captain's Universe.

My Take on the War in Palestine
I am a Christian. I believe that everything that is going on in the middle east is fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. I believe that Israel is justified in their actions. I believe that they have been pushed around for long enough and that they deserve to FINALLY stand up for themselves and show that they aren't afraid to fight back. According to Old Testament prophecy Syria is going to be joining with Iran in the fight against Israel. So look forward to that!

TTFN,
Malachi

One hour into work I had a realization:
I NEED TO EAT BREAKFAST.
I end up foraging through my desk and around the staff lounge with the hope that perhaps I'll come across some unlabeled food, snack, edible item. I have a couple fig Newtons in my desk... but I don't eat them. I think because I'm waiting for a day when I have no money? I dunno... and the choco-covered pretzles: melted together, therefore, not worth the effort.

I have an idea:
I am going to title every post with a song that is stuck in my head. Sound good? Great. Now if i can just find something to talk about on my post!
