We watched "Smoke Signals" a few days ago and chuckled at the John Wayne's Teeth song. Rick, Darlene, Dave, Bonny, and the three of us went to the Nevada Corn Maze (again, as the three of us went last year), but the corn was dead this year. I guess we went a little earlier in the season last time. This year's maze was more difficult and took us longer to get out. We then stopped to eat at Heidi's Family Restaurant in Fallon before returning. Captain Porkchop wouldn't let us order pork chops.

We watched "Moonstruck" with Nicolas Cage and Cher. Pretty hilarious movie, but I'm sure glad I'm not Italian. They seem to argue too much. Was interested to learn that diesel cars and trucks can also run on free fuel instead of costly traditional petroleum fuel. In my estimation, anyone with a diesel car would be crazy not to convert their car over to start using waste vegetable oil as fuel. The conversion kits are inexpensive, and the fuel is free! The only downside is that your exhaust will smell like french fries.   =)

I surpassed the 1,800 workunit mark a few of days ago for Seti@home, and just passed 1,900 today. I've been racing a guy named Robert Deadman for a couple of years or so (although he might not know it), first I was ahead, then he was, we were pretty neck and neck for awhile, and then he pulled ahead and stayed ahead for about a year, but now I've not only caught up, but surpassed him, and there's no way he can keep up now after our recent upgrades. Feel free to see what other distributed computing projects I'm involved in.

Was amused to hear that a guy was sued for squirting soy sauce on another guy. We truly live in a litigious society.

Another recent site update: I just added the work cam page. I previously had a link directly to the live video feed, but now it's a little more user friendly with a snapshot and directions, too.

Misti and I were the witness couple for the first time in our session at the Reno Temple this past weekend. It was neat. I was saddened to hear that Richard Harris (Prof. Dumbledore in the first two Harry Potter movies) died a couple of days ago from Hodgkin's Disease.   =(
