I think I got stupider reading the posts on NBA.com’s “Fan Voice”.

Goddamn people are stupid.

I will stop reading now.

I recently updated some plugins and it appears to have broken some of my stuff. Working on it.

Thanks to DDDan for pointing this out.

Telling lies is a slippery business!

I just ran into a really great article about a couple Somalian Olympians. It’s too bad they didn’t show more of these on prime time coverage.

I copied the article to the full page view of this post just in case it disappears from Yahoo.

So earlier this month, I set Kristi up with wordpress (as I have in the past with lots of other people). For some weird reason, the site was developed quickly and she actually posts on it… :O

If anyone else wants a wp blog for the price of a domain registration, I can host it

In other news, Team USA demolishes Spain???

I did not see that one coming…

Anyway, maybe my thoughts on that at a later point.

So I made flan last night.

and we scared the shit out of it

Mmmmm….

So following xkcd’s geohash algorithm as featured in this comic and made easy by this site and documented by this site, we went out to Encinitas to hit our point for Saturday. Our expedition was added to the wiki here.

Some pictures:

Yes, I now own a GPS
Side story: We left home at around 2:45PM to Fry’s since Kristi’s Garmin (GPS) didn’t display coordinates. We got to Fry’s probably around 3:15 to pick up a GPS that showed coordinates. (Garmin Nuvi 200!!) Anyway, we were able to get to the front of the Fry’s line (it was around 3:30 and we still needed to get to Encinitas at 4:00PM for the scheduled meeting time - around 15 miles away) thanks to the badass Fry’s salesman that sold me the Nuvi after I told him we were in a rush. We ended up making it to the meetup point in Encinitas at 3:58 and got pictures at exactly 4:00PM. So the Hero of the Day award goes to the nameless Fry’s salesman.

Side story 2: We went to Home Depot afterwards to buy wood for the old radio to convert to a gaming computer. More on this next time…

Postscript: A new almostflan coming soon…
Post Postscript: Lakers are in the finals!!! I’ll post on how my predictions went later (after the finals…)
