Social-ist

I haven't blogged much lately, I know. I've been caught up in this social stuff with Twitter and Facebook. I can't believe I let myself do that.

I'll try to blog more. Life takes time, so blogging gets less of it. Twitter has been a mild substitute, but I don't really use it effectively.

I'm not a fan of everything they have, but some of them are great. Tell them I sent you.

Do you use social networks?

Until about a week ago, I had avoided social networks.

To my chagrin, I've joined Facebook. Now I'm getting requests to join Twitter and LinkedIn. Why did I do this?

Are you using social networking? If so, for what?

Help Set A Guinness World Record

Today is Download Day. Don't forget. Starting at 10:00am Pacific.

Update: It's after 10:00am...the Mozilla Firefox site still shows Firefox 2 for download and the Download Day site is down.

Update 2: One of our network engineers thought it would be funny to block the download site with our filter.

Update 3: 2:15pm - I have now downloaded and installed Firefox 3. The site has still been up and down, but it looks like it's working now. I have done my part for a Guinness World Record.

We Are NOT The Champions

So much for another great hockey season.
My season has come to an abrupt end.

No, I did not get injured. That would make for a much better, yet horribly tragic story.

They are moving our team up to a higher division again, which means myself and several other players have now been cut. We were sent an email to tell us to find another team. It was worded a little better than that but still really lame nonetheless.

So I will not be playing this season.
Sorry to those that wanted to come out and watch us play. Thanks Pete. I think they sell hot dogs but no beer anyway. Hopefully I'll be back at it in the fall with some new equipment and an urge to smash some heads.

We Are The Champions

My hockey team won our league championship. Not a big deal when you play in the lowest level of an in-house hockey league, but we had a good season. Most of the leading scorers were on our team, and we led the league in most goals scored and least goals allowed. This season was a big step up from the last place team we had last season.

But alas, the Gophers are no more.

Our team has been disbanded in favor of creating a new team in the next division. We've added a few new players, and we're off to a good start as a new team. New name, new jerseys, same winning attitude.

Here's to another championship season!

Download Day 2008

Mozilla is attempting to set a Guinness World Record for the most downloaded software in a 24-hour period with the release of Firefox 3, the newest edition of the popular web browser.

They have setup a Download Day website to take pledges from those interested in participating. You can pledge by signing up your email address and region, and Mozilla will notify you when Firefox 3 launches and is available for download.

Join me in pledging your support for the best browser available.

Lord Stanley's Cup 2008

The Detroit Red Wings won the 2008 Stanley Cup championship.

Enough of that....
The Ducks will take it back next season. Go Ducks!

Catch of the Day

Don't Mess

Amber disappeared

Was she vaporized or something?

This wasn't even staged

She kept spinning the cart

Actually it's even funnier with the pictures in reverse order. It would play like this: 1) Amber irritated me by spinning the cart, 2) I threatened to shoot her with the laser, 3) I shot her, and 4) She disappeared.

Disneyland is fun.
