For reasons completely unclear to me, this guy finds that the number lock key being turned on during bootup is intrusive. He says it interferes with typing your password, which doesn't make any sense - in fact, it's just the opposite. It's good practice to use some numbers in your passwords, but how could the 'home', 'up arrow', 'pgdn', 'del' keys, etc. be used in a password? They can't - plus, even if they could be, all those buttons are repeated about 2 cm to the left, so what's the big deal?

Last night we watched "Hollywood Homicide" (Harrison Ford, Dwight Yoakam, Gladys Knight, Lou Diamond Phillips, Smokey Robinson, Robert Wagner, Martin Landau). I also finally finished "The Summons" by John Grisham, on audiotape, as read by Michael Beck. Great book.

If you've been using my RSS 0.91 or RDF 1.0 newsfeeds, please note that they have both been replaced by my new RSS 2.0 feed, which is auto-generated from my Atom feed (which is auto-generated by Blogger) via the excellent free service from 2rss.com. Becky scored a new Baby Einstein video tonight: "World Animals". She likes the monkeys and lions.   =)

Found the "Red Sign" and "Old Yeller" caches today. I also logged some other caches that we actually did in December ("Worldwide Hot Springs", "Fire fighting vehicles", and "The Arena of My Favorite team") but somehow overlooked in logging. We spotted another "PUY" plate (691 PUY) at the intersection of I-80 and Keystone. Mike would be proud. We had some weird luck with some Hostess Twinkies tonight. One of them (still sealed) has a child. Another one's wrapper was popped open, so its end was all crusty hard. Yucka. I'll post a photo of the mother and child twinkette very soon. I wonder if these illegitimate twinkettes happen often, and if so, how? You'd think the sealed wrapper would act as protection. Of course, as Ross Geller found out, nothing is 100%.

You know, it's not every day that the terms "Mike", "Twinkies", and "Ross Geller" all get used in the same paragraph. Fascinating. Was amused that Brad is weary of shoutboxes because of his 'bra' incident. In a bizarre, untimely turn of events, my shoutbox might actually be going away, since the provider is shutting down operations. Fear not, however, as I'm on the prowl for a replacement shoutbox/tagboard. (I wouldn't want anyone to lose sleep over it.)
