Chuck-O-Rama are a bunch of sniveling dorks. If a guy can eat 12 slices of meat, let him. I'm sure there are plenty of others that only eat 1 or 2 slices (i.e., don't get their money's worth), so it all equals out. Thus, what's the big deal? I think the only reason they apologized is because of all the bad press they've been getting. I'm glad the Senate has approved another ban (for 4 years) on taxing Internet access.

Cleaned out 1,000 email messages out of my inbox this morning. That's always a good feeling. Found Bradigan's "Red Planet" cache today at lunch, along with the "Winston" travel bug. I guess we're still living in the Wild West, because apparently Nevada is the most dangerous state in the U.S.

There's a hilarious debate on what would happen to the Internet if everyone started using RSS readers. Some say that it would overwhelm it, whilst others say that's ridiculous.

Nano-computers fighting cancer are cool. Found the "Down In the Dumps" cache during lunch today, and the "Cannonball Racer04" travel bug. And I thought RIAA was bad - the Japanese equivalent of RIAA is preparing to sue 1,000,000 (yes, one MILLION) people for illegally downloading MP3's. Noah's Ark to be found shortly.

The Feds are finally prosecuting some spammers under the new CAN-SPAM law (not that it will help, but it's a start). No more Oldsmobiles. I can't believe how bad iTunes is at playing radio streams. Playback is riddled with skips, hiccups, and echoes. Horrible - and why people like this software is completely beyond me.

Netsky.AB is out, as is Beagle.X. Really windy today. Lots of debris and trash blowing around. Keystone has been closed for exactly a month so far because of the train trench (ReTRAC) project - and will remain closed until July. Sucks. Found the "Slow Down & Enjoy The View" cache during lunch today.

Congressman Jim McDermitt (D-Wash.) is a real dope for omitting the words "under God" in the daily House of Representatives' recitation of the Pledge of Allegience. If I still lived in Washington, I'd be writing him a chiding letter at this very moment.

RIAA is still suing people for illegally downloading MP3 files. Hilarious, since Pepsi and Apple can't even give them away. Of course, considering the huge hassle the free tracks are, it's no wonder they're not being redeemed. The monument to processed cheese is great news to cheese lovers all over the world.

Apple's iTunes remains a lame product, and more and more people are finally understanding that fact..

Found the "Sorry Charlie!" cache during lunch, and "The Lighted Path" after work.

Looks like it's finally time to bid my old shoutbox 'adieu' - ActiveTopic has been threatening to disable the free service for weeks now, but I never really thought they'd get around to it. Too bad, I actually liked it.

Well, the jury's back - Netsky.AA is the semi-official name for the 27th Netsky virus.

Devo's "Whip It" was on 97.3 FM this morning, and I noticed something interesting about it that I never had before: the song is in 4/4 time for the most part, but there is a 3/4 interlude section. Very cool.

Guess what: my copy of Linspire 4.5 shuts down the computer just fine. Also, it hasn't locked up at all, even with screensavers enabled. What the heck was wrong with SuSE?

I've replaced the old shoutbox with a new free shoutbox from myshoutbox.com. Comments on the new box are welcome. I've still got a little tweaking to do with it, but it seems to be working well, so any further changes should only be cosmetic.

We watched "The Three Tenors Christmas" and "Mommy & Me - Fun and Friends" on DVD. There's a lady at church at looks like Julia Stiles. For the record, Krispy Kreme's chocolate custard filled donut is called a "bismarck" at Safeway's bakery, and (according to Mike) a 'Boston creme' elsewhere. Krispy Kreme's 'strawberry shortcake' donut is mmmmm, tasty, regardless of what it may or may not be called anywhere else.

Rant: I've experienced so many problems with Blackberry PDAs (specifically the older 957 and the newer 6710) that I can no longer recommend them at all. Of the two, however, the 957 was the better product. When traveling across service areas (between providers), it doesn't seem to automatically reregister on new networks (auto-scan) like it's supposed to, so you have to manually turn it off and back on again for it to do so. Neither one seems to be compatible with MS Exchange 2000 when Exchange is set to send out messages in UTF-7 encoding, so you have to switch back to the (archaic) US-ASCII set instead. The 6710 has problems doing simple two-way synchronization with Outlook 2002 (although it does work sometimes). And what's with having multiple (and confusing) buttons that don't do what you would expect them to do - and why so many key combinations just to enter in numbers? I don't feel a PDA needs to have all of the following buttons right next to each other: num lock, num shift, shift, caps lock, caps shift, symbol shift, and symbol space bar. Also, why'd the 6710 take a step backward and lose the orange color button (used to help distinguish key combinations)? When every button can do four different things, you need this feature. As it stands, the 6710 really blows. Also, why can't Blackberry offer some real tech support? You go to their website looking for the latest software update, and they state that version 2.8 is the latest version for your model, when you are clearly already running version 3.3 on your PDA? Then there's a little fine print message stating that if you use AT&T as your provider, you have to go to their website for the latest version. Lame. So then you go to AT&T's website, and there, plain as day, is version 3.6. Why can't Blackberry just offer it? (What ends up happening is that you have to go to Blackberry for the desktop software, but to AT&T for the handheld software.) Double lame.

This past weekend was so beautiful, clear, sunny, and warm - the high was 79°F. Ben got over his 24-hour flu, and Ronda came home from her trip. We're currently at 175 caches found, whilst Brad is not far behind at 161. The reason my copy of SuSE 9.0 Linux was locking up so often was because of the screensavers. Once I disabled all screensavers, it's been a bit more stable. I still am unable to install Java on the stupid thing, however - YaST doesn't like the j2re 'java.rpm' package for some reason.

A couple new virii today: Beagle.W, and Bugbear.E. Ho hum.

So, I got fed up with SuSE 9.0, and installed my free copy of Linspire Linux instead. First weird thing: it's not compatible with the motherboard's TrendChipAway virus detection, whilst SuSE didn't seem to have a problem with it. Strange. First good thing: Java came preinstalled! I already like it more.   =)

Had a wonderful meal at Gene's house, as Don, Faye, and Linda were in town for the night. Don thought Jared was quite the big, chunky little guy. Jared smiled a lot and flapped his wings like a chicken most of the night.   =)

We found the Rose Cache Thursday night, and we watched Celene Dion's "The Colour of My Love Concert" on DVD. The 'phone cord untangling ritual' struck me as being amusing, might even be funny to future generations reading this. (Yes, kids, phone used to have cords. The base used to have a straight (non-spiral) cord that plugged into a wall jack, while the handset plugged into the base via a springy, spirally, rubbery cord that would incessantly get tangled up. Thus, we used to have to periodically unplug the handset from the base, and hold the handset aloft and allow the spiral cord to unravel.)

Becky's favorite CD is Drew's Famous 57 Greatest Kids Songs. She listens to it in the car on Discman, so we can't hear the music, but we can hear her singing and clapping along - it's hilarious.

This also is hilarious: a proposed piece of legislation to prohibit kids from wearing their pants too low. This is the best privacy idea I've heard of yet: disposable personal information. The JPEG copyright infringement case is just stupid, much the same as the GIF and hyperlink copyright infringement cases in the past. The idea of cold fusion just won't die, but sadly Woody Woodpecker's voice died Friday.

Found the "FLUME RIDES AGAIN" cache Friday during lunch, then stopped by Twin City Surplus to pick up some 'prizes' for the CITO cleanup on Saturday.

Spent Saturday morning cleaning up trash at the corner of Kietzke Ln and S Virginia St (across the street from the Convention Center) for our "Reno Central NAB CITO Cleanup" cache (part of the overall Reno Clean and Green event). Many thanks go out to Christi Cakiroglu from Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful and Barbara DiCianno from the City of Reno for their help in organizing this event!

There are 1,300,925,111,156,286,160,896 (1 sextillion, 300 quintillion, 925 quadrillion, 111 trillion, 156 billion, 286 million, 160 thousand, 8 hundred and 96) ways to spell Viagra if you were to spam someone. Interesting to note that a picture is no longer worth a thousand words.

I was invited to test out a new Gmail beta account from Google (the ones with the 1 gig storage limit). While I was initially excited about this, my enthusiasm waned quickly as I read that attachment sizes are limited to 10 MB apiece. (Yes, I was toying with the idea of emailing myself 10 messages with a 100 MB attachment just to test it.)

So, I decided to test the 10 MB limit (by creating files of specific sizes). It wouldn't accept a 10 MB attachment (10,240,000 bytes), nor a 10,239,999 byte file, nor even 10,000,000, 9,999,999, or 9,999,000 byte files. So then I thought it might be because of the cluster size storage issue (file size vs. size on disk), and lowered my attachment's file size to 9,998,000 bytes (9,998,336 bytes on an NTFS-formatted disk with a 4 KB cluster size), but that still didn't work. Since I think Gmail is running on some flavor of Linux running either GFE/1.3 or GWS/2.1, I decided to look up the cluster size info for Linux (Ext2) - either 1 KB or 4 KB (varies), but certainly not any bigger than that.

After those and subsequent experiments with even smaller MP3 files failed, I realized that it's not a cluster size issue at all, it's attachment encoding overhead. There are several ways to encode attachments for transmittal, e.g. Base64, UUEncode, MIME, yEnc, etc. All of these add overhead to the transmission "size" of the attachment - some a *lot* (MIME, Base64), and others not as much (yEnc). Thus, your 10 MB attachment actually looks more like 14 MB to the server when it's being transported. What it all boils down to is that Gmail really will only accept 6.95 MB attachments (depending on encoding method), nothing larger. Lame. (Yes, I'm going to suggest to them that they update their documentation to reflect this fact. As it stands, their wording is deceiving.) And another thing - why does SBC also not allow you to send attachments over 6.95 MB either? Double lame.

The 3-eyed, 2-mouthed mutant calf is pretty cool. Netsky.Z came out yesterday - FINALLY. The next one in line should actually be interesting (simply because of it's name, whatever that turns out to be). Also out yesterday: MyDoom.J, Blaster.T, and MiMail.V.

New Internet 2 speed record set yesterday: 6.25 Gbps. The real story behind today's amorous rhino incident is that this guy was taking photos in the first place. After all, everyone knows that rhino have terrible eyesight. Forget the rhino, what was the *guy* thinking? Here's an interesting article debunking the myth of the '5-second rule'.

We've recently passed a major milestone for our little car: 50,000 miles on the odometer. I think everyone has wondered about bottled water hoaxes at some point, but now it's official: Dasani bottled water is from the tap.

Finished listening to "Angel Fire East" by Terry Brooks last night on unabridged audiobook. The other day I chuckled because I was on tape 7 of 9 (seven of nine) - it made me think of Star Trek Voyager.

Found the "Little She-Devil" and "STOP AND GO,GO,GO, 3" [sic] caches yesterday, and the "For The Dawgs" and "The Mound House Cache is in Primm" caches today.

Stayed at the Carson Station Hotel/Casino. Had a delicious ham & swiss on rye sandwich yesterday from Creekside Deli in Carson. How is it that Nevada is split into a "north" and a "south", where 14 counties are in the North, and only 3 are in the South? Which three are they, and where is the line drawn?

Glad to see that Mike created a PUY page on his site. Saw a cool "GPS" license plate on the road today. Jealous. I recently passed the 6,000 mark on Seti@home. Farting Teletubbies are hilarious.

Another acronym that might be confusing if you work in a nonprofit and also in a tech department: "SCO". SCO can stand for 'State Collaboration Office', or 'Santa Cruz Operation' (the dork company trying to sue everyone for using Linux).

According to the CDC, we need to wash our hands more often. The Ormsby House is now just a skeleton of a building - you can see clear through it as you pass by.

Tried a Hansen's Peach Berry Premium Nectar Smoothie. Mmmm. Netsky.X and Netsky.Y came out today. Speaking of security threats, it's not bad enough that we have to deal with virii and spam, now it appears that TCP, itself, has security flaws.

Found the "Mindenville", "Charlie", and "Cigar Store Indian" caches yesterday in Minden. I'm not quite convinced that Becca liked her Easter basket this year (a Scooby Doo-themed basket), but all the plastic eggs with candy in them were a big hit (of course).

Ate some wonderful ham & olive/chicken & red onion pizza at Pizza Hut in Carson City. Watched "Monty Python's Flying Circus (Volume 3)", "Brother Bear", and "Teletubbies: Favorite Things" on video recently. Tried the new Kellogg's/Disney "Princess" cereal - pretty tasty. Geocaching.com has been a little slow and even unreachable lately - I guess that's a sign that the game is getting popular (maybe too popular?).

Paying $2.00 per gallon for low-octane unleaded gasoline really sucks, but if you adjust the numbers for inflation, it's really not as bad as it seems - not at least as compared to gas prices 20 years ago. Of course, inflation or not, the fact that it's jumped from around $1.59 to as high as $2.11 in just the past few weeks hasn't gone unfelt.

Found the "CachersDigest" [sic], "Forgotten Park Cache", and "Cover Up" caches this afternoon. Very cold and windy outside. Having recently polished off a tub of Benecol Light, I now have a clear preference: I'd much prefer the taste of Take Control Light over Benecol Light. Same benefits, cheaper price, and better tasting.

Albertson's actually paid us to buy something at the store yesterday. We had a $1.50 off coupon (on the back of a receipt from a previous purchase), and Misti dispatched me on an errand to buy some artificial vanilla extract last night, which turned out to cost exactly $1.49, so the checker rang it up and since the balance was -$0.01, he actually gave me "back" a penny. Hilarious.

Netsky.V and MyDoom.I are out. Sorry to hear that Brad got swamped with Gaobot virii lately. Multiple Linux security flaws announced today - sucks since updating our copy of SuSE is such a lame process (hardly ever works correctly).

Thinking about uninstalling SuSE Linux and installing Lindows (oops - Linspire) instead. It's a free download (ISO image - 522 MB) for a short time (with the $50 coupon code) via BitTorrent.

Ambient technology is interesting. I just saw a guy try to break into Betty's truck in broad daylight. Wild. Also wild this morning was the fact that I wrote to my Congressmen first thing when I woke up, and didn't even intend to. I think it's cool that Sir Tim Berners-Lee won a $1 million award for creating the Web. (Eat that, Al Gore.)

Our new VCR (a Sanyo VWM-800 has a profanity filter feature called "TV Guardian", which I enabled to test it out. It's hilarious - it mutes the sound when a bad word or phrase is said on movies. It's actually a nice thing, as we no longer worry so much about what little ears are picking up. Nothing wrong with voluntary censorship.   =)

We found the "Monopoly" cache in Sparks and I got a haircut at Cost Cutters after work (not at the same time, however) - was needing it fairly badly (the haircut, not the cache).

Spain legalizes homosexual marriages, while Massachusetts is moving to block them.

I'm glad to see that PDAs are becoming obsolete - I always thought they were entirely too small, underpowered, and simply inadequate. Glad to see that Silicon Valley agrees.

Sadly, no one I know is using a Dvorak keyboard. I'd like to use one and learn to type one-handed, like the bad guys in James Bond movies.   =)

Becky was throwing up last night and today. Poor thing. Not sure if this is a stomach flu or just too many cookies and Easter candy...   =(

It struck me that babies need two mouths - one to remain pacified by a binky, whilst the other one is available to "learn about" (i.e. taste) the items they pick up off of the floor - Jared shows signs of wanting to do both at the same time. He'll be a great multi-tasker.

It was nice to see that, overall, most people would rather see wholesome movies than rated-R movies. Tried out Amazon's new web search engine: A9.

Ben H. really seems to like William Hung's new album, so I've heard a few of his songs - it's like really bad karaoke. I was mildly shocked when Ben said he was going to actually purchase the CD.   =)

Trident Cool Rush gum is a little gross, but mainly it's too sticky: even after just a few minutes of chewing it, it's too sticky to take out of your mouth because it'll stick to your fingers really badly. Saw another PUY license plate for Mike on the I-80 Keystone off-ramp yesterday afternoon. Misti scored a cool Sting promotional CD (the "Songs of Love" album, a Victoria's Secret exclusive) yesterday evening in a cache - can't beat that. The German "Pig Brother" live wild boar webcam is pretty cool.

I guess I kinda suck at Gold Miner, as I can't get more than $20,552 on level 12. I found it ironic today that Windy Hill, the head of the federal Head Start Bureau (the department that has been conducting audits across the nation of Head Start programs that have been accused of misappropriating funds) has, herself, been accused of misappropriating funds, and one large watchdog group has even called for her resignation (after recent audits have caused many executive directors of nonprofits to resign).

Can't get past level 5 at Tower Blaster (score of 13,989). The word "ouster" is dumb. I think that the term 'ousting' should be used to denote the act of being ousted, and leave the term 'ouster' for the person doing the ousting. I can't see where it benefits anyone to have one word (ouster) mean both.

With a little help from Ben H., I'm finally able to listen to my free downloaded song ("It's My Life" by No Doubt) that I got from iTunes. We figured out a way to convert the crappy ".m4p" file into a regular ".mp3" file. iTunes uses the .m4p format, which doesn't play correctly on any other player but their own. Once we converted it, I can now listen to the file without it 'skipping', and I can finally play it in the music player of my choice (Windows Media Player), instead of crappy Quicktime, RealOne Player, WinAmp, iTunes, etc. (most of which wouldn't play the .m4p file at all). Apple's iTunes should be shot.

Here's how we did it: convert the .m4p to .mp4 using the "m4p2mp4" stream processor. Then use "dbpoweramp" (based upon LAME) to convert the .mp4 to .mp3. Works like a charm!

I've stopped using RSS feeds from Salon and Moreover, due to the fact that they don't provide any content in their feeds, only headlines. Most RSS feeds include at least a short version of the story along with the headline, if not the full text of the article, so you can read the news without ever having to visit their site. In Salon's case, even if you click on a headline that sounds interesting, it takes you to a truncated version of the story and then you're asked to log in to read the rest of the story. How dumb is that?!! When will these companies learn that consumers want content, not fluff - information, not gimmicks?

Found the "...Like Ants" physical cache tonight after work with the fam (after having found all the other parts on Saturday). Nice hike, albeit a little windy.

After attending the South Hills annual Easter egg hunt yesterday (which Becca loves - way too much candy, though, for all of us!), we ran up to church for the R.S. 'second saturday', but no one was there. We then did a little geocaching with my dad and Bonny. We found the 'Erinmore Flake' cache and all seven of the magnets for the '...Like Ants' multicache, as well as the pattern mapping exercise, getting the pattern answer, and we even drove up and found the trail head, but we didn't find the actual cache yet, itself, as we ran out of daylight. We did, however, finally view the entire "Pirates of the Carribean: The Curse of the Black Pearl". I had seen bits and pieces of this film several times, but had never watched it all the way through. It's not as funny as some people made it out to be, but it's alright.

In between stops, we had lunch and we tried some of the new Doritos "Rollitos Zesty Taco!" snacks, and some all natural "Chocolate Moose" brand premium chocolate milk drink (made with dutch cocoa). We also helped out an old man that had Alzheimer's and couldn't remember where he lived. My dad figured out his name and his address and we drove him home, and it was really sad because he didn't even recognize his house at first, but did after a few seconds, and his key worked in the front door, so I have to assume that it was, in fact, his house. I can't imagine what that must be like. Poor guy.   =(

Today, we had an Easter program at church, and the Primary children sang a number (so I got to accompany them), and it was a great meeting. Becca had fun in Nursery, and we had a great sharing time (which included a short video) in Primary, too. Afterward, we had a wonderful Easter meal at my folks' place along with grandpa Neal, as well as some hilarious stories about the Cannery and family history.

Recently, we've been using the citrus scent "Oust" air sanitizer, but we've found the aroma to be too strong. If it were a subtle scent, it would be great, but as it is, it's overbearing.

I like the new Smuckers 'Low Sugar Concord Grape' jelly. I noticed that they have two slightly different website addresses on the product, though: smucker.com, and smuckers.com. Both of them are listed on the jar, but both point to same site. I wonder why they did that?

I installed SuSE Linux 9.0 via FTP (which took forever), but now the computer won't shut down, and it freezes up more than I expected it to, and the online updates kinda suck, as they only works sometimes. Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed, and I just don't see what the whole Linux fever is all about. I also tried the bootable Live-Eval CD trial version (downloaded the ISO image and burned to CD) of SuSE linux 9.0 (so I could compare it to the Knoppix trial version from a month or two ago), but it wouldn't work with my monitor or something. Whatever. Linux also runs slower than Win98 on an 1.0 GHz AMD Duron processor, and the games that come with SuSE really blow ("Potato Man"? Need I say more?)   =(

We watched "The Sword in the Stone" last night. Cute cartoon, Becca liked it. The L.A. Times ran an obituary for Sister Hinckley, which I thought was neat.

I think it's great that Governor Swartzenegger wants California to have a part-time legislature, like Nevada.   We're role models for Ah-nold!

Apple's iTunes sucks on so many levels. If you get a free song off of a bottlecap, you have to install iTunes to download it (which doesn't run on Win98 or Linux, by the way). After you get the song, it's not an MP3 file, it's an M4P file - which doesn't play in Windows Media Player, but only in iTunes, RealPlayer, or Quicktime (all of which suck compared to WMP, in my opinion). What's up with that? Lame. I promptly uninstalled iTunes - what a joke.

Found the "Cinema Nevada" mystery cache - Misti did all the clues, and I made a suspicious fool out of myself in public trying to rehide the thing. Good times.

Seems to me that the Netsky author(s) is/are a little slow, too (as well as the Blaster worm's author) - if you're going to take down a site, why not do about 10 minutes of homework and do a whois/network lookup and find all the site's aliases, mirrors, IP addresses, etc., and not just one DNS pointer. Lazy.

Interesting to note the appearance of a Mac OS X trojan horse (MP3Concept/MP3Virus.Gen), and the fact that Apple has released more OS X security patches this year than Microsoft has for XP. Now there's something you don't hear Mac-o-philes bragging about.

Glad to hear that pigeons can transmit data faster than DSL. And of course Netsky.U is now out.

Found "GRUMPYS CACHE II" [sic] during lunch. Now, I do think that eyeball jewels are going a tad too far. The recent IRS software upgrade failure just goes to show that no matter how much money you throw at a project, sometimes it just can't be done. The traffic lights that stop speeders in California are hilarious. I guess sometimes it pays to leave your cell phone in the car. I think it's cool that the W3C has finalized the DOM level 3 specs. Now I've got to learn JavaScript all over again.   =)

I was glad to see that more of the Illinois apology to the Church made it into the news, but was also saddened to find out that Sister Hinckley passed away.   =(

The Netsky.S, Netsky.T, and Bugbear.E/C virii/worms came out recently without so much of a mention - I guess even the press is sick of hearing about these stupid things. It's been sad to see the recent financial turmoil overtake EOB in Las Vegas these past few weeks.

Some people extolling Vibrant Media's IntelliTXT are making some ridiculous statements. In my opinion, the only reason people are clicking on the IntelliTXT ad words ("spam links") are because they think they're site links, not because they actually want to look at irrelevant advertising. That's just common sense, it's not like anyone appreciates having to deal with any ads on the web, period.

Becky recently viewed "Adventures From The Book of Virtues: Friendship", "3 Sesame Street Stories", and "Sesame Street Celebrates Around the World" on VHS - all free from the library - and liked them all. Good stuff.

Our church's 174th Annual General Conference was great this weekend. If you missed some parts, you can now view the videos online.

Almond Joy and Mounds need more varieties - an Almond Joy with dark chocolate would be nice, and a Mounds with milk chocolate (apparently they tried the latter in 1976 and it didn't catch on?) - 4 varieties instead of 2 would be great. For those that aren't aware, Almond Joy has milk chocolate, whilst Mounds has dark chocolate. Stauffer's Whales are a great alternative to goldfish. Daylight Savings Time has me dragging this morning.

Found the "Critter Cache" multi-cache with the help of 'rogerrabt' and 'Ben There, Done That', and we revisited "Reno High Roller" and "I Can See Where I Used to live from here" again (this time much easier with GPSr's) so Ben could log a few more and drop off his first travel bug (the Kermit Key).

The 'drive-by oiling' in 2 Kings 9 is hilarious.

Went geocaching this afternoon with Ben. Found the following benchmark and caches: "KR1306", "AJ'S HOLE IN THE WALL", "Kitty Litter 2", and "I-80 Flume Cache". Got a little sunburned, then rained upon.

Ok, rule #1 for April Fool's Day jokes: they have to occur on April Fool's Day. It's not a true April Fool's joke if you do it a day early, like the Sony Ericsson left-handed cell phone gag. If you believed it (like I did), you're not a fool, since they (like fools) forgot to announce it on the correct day. Since when did March 31st become April Fool's Day? Duh.

Watched Extreme Makeover last night. They worked with some crazy floofy hair and a classic Roman nose, and by the time they were done, Paula ended up looking like Kelly Lynch (Vivian Wood from Charlie's Angels). Wow.

A certain C. B. wonders if a certain S. and Mr. and Mrs. B. will be attending a certain CITO event on the 24th...?

Hampster mod case and left-handed cell phone are cool ideas.

The Illinois Nauvoo apology is cool, and surprising! Didn't see that one coming!

I think it's cool that Google now offers Folding@home (the distributed computing client) as part of their toolbar.

Jared thought Becky was hilarious last night - she was holding onto one strap of her turtle backpack and I was holding onto the other. She would pull, and I would let go. She would fall, and Jared would laugh. She thought it was so great that she had us do the same routine about 50 times. He laughed every single time. Good stuff.   =)

Enjoyed reading some of the articles in Today's Cacher magazine. Becky really likes "The Adventures of Mary-Kate & Ashley: The Case of the United States Navy Adventure". That's got to be the longest movie title in history.
