Actually, I'm not sure why I used "snot" since I don't think snot is all too busy. But that's beside the point. Heard on the news this morning about Greyhound shutting down operations due to an incident with one of their busses down in the states. Busses are still running up here, but none are allowed to cross the border.
In other news.. I forgot to mention this yesterday (actually, I haven't been mentioning much - been too busy with darned Money) but NATO is doing that article 5 thang. First time in history to boot. Then there's a possible cure for cancer using icons, and other stuff.. grr.. must rush. Terribly sorry. Links later.
Actually I biked to work this morning. Took advantage of the good weather. (I might as well, we've been getting this great weather for the past five days now! I'd hate to see it go to waste. Okay, okay, so I couldn't use the car today. That's the real reason.)
Better get back to work. Laptop's darned slow. Trying to clean it up but it's taking FORever!

Hmm.. with the new standards for Pocket PC's, it seems like those gadgets are going to be saturating the geeky tech Christmas list this year. Mind you, I haven't even seen one much less tried one so I will not make any comments yet.
Comments I can make are on other things like this. I found that link originally at the ShackNews (last night to boot - getting slow in my old age). I dunno, at least they're getting rid of pent up frustration without destroying property. (Unless they just want to make it an excuse to play more.) Oh hey, speaking of which, I heard a joke this morning from one of our clients.
There was a Canadian, bin Laden, and Uncle Sam walking along a beach. The Canadian is mentioning how he was a farmer just like his dad, and his grandfather and his entire family line when they stumble upon a magic lamp. They check it out and out pops a genie who grants each of them a wish.
The Canadian wishes for all of the land in Canada to be fertile forever. This wish is granted. bin Laden wishes to have an impenetrable wall appear around Afghanastan that will keep out all of his enemies. Uncle Sam asks a question before he makes his wish.
He asks what kind of wall bin Laden wished for. He's told that this wall is ten thousand feet high, five hundred feet thick, and impenetrable. Thinking a moment, Uncle Sam turns to the genie and says "Fill it with water.".
I have no idea why the Canadian is even mentioned in this joke, or what this fertile land business had to do with the punchline. An American stereotype perhaps?

Hey, here's the link about the Cancer fighting Icons I originally found on the ShackNews (another last night item).

I did a bit more window shopping today, this time at Future Shop. It seems like The Longest Journey is pretty expensive here as well. Man.. maybe I should get it used? Oh, there's also Throne of Bhaal which I should get sometime.
I actually was able to take a look at one of those Compaq iPaqs. Nifty little gadget. A little on the expensive side, but it's nifty.
While I was picking up orders for lunch, RH pointed behind me and asked,
Is that your bike?
*looks behind*
Doh! I had forgotten that I had biked to work. Fortunately, I was able to commandeer a vehicle. It's amazing how much power a V8 has. I was in the middle of accelerating when I realized I was already going at 80! *eases off gas* I could've sworn I was only going 40. Hee hee. I have a funny feeling that I'll be getting a lot of speeding tickets if I ever get a performance car..

Hey, I got a link from the ShackNews about more work done in the fuel cell area. Cool beans. A cell phone that doesn't have to be recharged for a month?
