This is just funny. Seems two thieves decided to take a nap on the good they stole. The police were even nice enough to take a photo before they woke them.
I would like to think that the embarrassment alone would deter them in the future.
Good Day Readers,
I seem to have many many links that i wish to share and they are stacking up quickly. I thought I would reduce the list by simply doing a few quick and dirty posts.
- Topping the list is an important reminder from the DogReader over at Lockergnome. It seems that about half the surfers out there are at risk because of security flaws in thier browsers
- Alex over at the same super blog notes that the ValueSoft package of Ubuntu Linux is, more or less, a simply paying for something that is free
- This falls under "you gotta be kidding me" category. Some drunk decided to join a team of firemen!
- Over at Furl Dog I discovered that these missile photos may have well been poorly doctored. This however, was noticed only after> many major newspapers published the photos.
- Over at AdRant, they point out why translation is still best left to humans and not software.
Although I do not totally agree with the tone of this article over at Adfreak, I have to agree with the conclusion. I think the NPR show Car Talk is actually a great radio show. I listen from time to time and, some where amidst the rubble of my dwelling, I have a few episodes on cassette. I confess I find humor in the "Donnas" who all drive red sports cars and many of thier other running gags.
I am not sure that the brothers will fare that well in a cartoon. If you take a few moments to read over the information on this duo at Wikipedia, you find that they go to great lengths to assure that the show has a "live" feel. Click and Clack have gotten this style down to an art. That is what makes the show entertaining.
I have not yet managed to watch an episode but it seems my fears are shared by at least one critic over at The Boston Globe. I do not know if this is going to get running well enough to even leave the garage. I agree with the Adfreak article that PBS may not be the right niche for it. I disagree that another network may be the market. I hope I am wrong but I fear we will look back on this one as another idea that should have just stayed an idea.
This story fall under the dumb and dumber category. The lesson is that if you are wanted as a burglar, don't offer the police help breaking into a car.
Good Morning Readers,
I hope everyone is well today. Lumpy is still somehow surviving this allergy season despite his chronically infected sinuses. I stopped to mention a few quick things.
Just in case you have not heard, Firefox 3 will be released today. Mozilla is asking everyone to set a world record for the most software downloads in a single day. Today is also my kid sister's birthday so they picked a good day to release it.
You have likely noticed that over the past two years, my posting frequency has been about as consistent as the Cleveland weather. The combination of poor health and having too many pots on the stove so to speak have taken a toll. I had hoped that my chronic sinus condition would just go away. It is not.
I had hoped that once I had my sinuses under control I could begin posting more material again. The reality is that my sinuses are going nowhere and the best I am going to quoting my doctor "manageble". Reality is not just so simple though.
My inner child has been trying to ignore the fact that, at 44, I should slow down. At present I publish at up to 9 different locations. That is too much. I am going to cut back. How much and where is yet to be determined. The only thing I have deffinitely decided on is that I will be doing more live streaming and podcasting since that is what everyone seems to enjoy the most. Check out and bookmark my LumpCast Site.
Lots of people are asking me questions about what made me cry at Microsoft a few weeks ago. If I told you "a telescope" you'd make fun of me, right? Tell me I'm lame and that I don't deserve to be a geek and that I should run away and join the circus, right? Well, that's what I saw. Or, more accurately, the WorldWide Telescope.

Sometime life is so ironic. I was planning to visit my folks this weekend but my cat kookie decided it would be best for me to stay home and deal with his infected eye. Instead of getting better after visiting the vet on Wednesday, the poor feline's eye was only getting cloudier on Saturday. The vet gave me additional instructions. Meaning more frequent applications of eye irrigation and eye ointment.
Now both of my feline roommates are very well behaved and docile animals. This however matters little when the animal does not understand that the "treatment" going to benefit him. His only though it "God gave me claws, you are not putting that stuff on my eye!"..
I have found that the only method I can deal with the furry spastic fearful ball of fur is to toss the poor little bugger into a military laundry bag. The draw string allows just enough cloth to bunch up around his neck so that he can't get those claws into me and ruin another set of pants but not tight tnough to choke him or bind his neck. He is actually adapting well to this new 5 time per day ritual. He hasn't hissed and growled since Saturday now.

For those of you not aware of it it seems that Ustream.tv is actually enforcing thier terms of service. I heard via IRC last night that this is the case. Apparently, the terms of service have always stated that you must be 18 or older to be able to actually broadcast. This has cause a bit of a shock wave over at McInTec.net.
Most of what these young folks do is stream. They live for it. They script and code around being able to do it. About half of them are under 18 years old.
They operate at a G rated level and, most of them, are mature and well behaved for their ages. Personally, I think it is a shame that this is happening. The ability to stream with what is, in my humble opinion, the best streaming service out there empowered them to experiment with code, web design and, based on what I saw, was a very positive thing.
Personally, it impacts me none. Unless they up the age limit to something over 45, I am safe. I feel however that there should be some viable solution to this. I agree Ustream should have the right to set their own terms of service but cant we find some type of compromise on this one? I personally feel that parental control should be left to parents. Most IRC networks that I am aware of have a 14 year old policy, why is streaming video so different than chat?
Jason has created a petition for those who feel this is not right. He is basically asking Ustream.tv to lower the broadcast limit to 14 years of age. If you feel this is reasonable would you please head over there and sign it.

My father is an amazing craftsman. Give the man some Styrofoam, drill, a few wooden dowel rods and some glue and amazing things begin to emerge.
I am not going to mention each and every shot I have taken of this project but this one gives a good over view of the size of the town. (I reckon it takes up about 30 square feet at present.) This photo of the modeler standing amidst his project also puts it into perspective.
I first became aware of this project when I went to visit this Easter. I have been fortunate enough to spend some time on the weekends out at my folks of the late. I thought it might be interesting to share some of the photos that my father, mother and I have taken of this model town. I also though it would be a good opportunity to experiment with my mother's camera.
I took most of these photos with a Kodak EasyShare C360

I found this via my My delicious Network. Not only is it furniture but functional.. Thought it was worth a quick post.
Amy Gahran says, "I want one place for all my content: Pipe dream?" She mentioned this at BlogHer as well. Is she looking for the aggregator-of-me? Is it more than a good feed aggregator? I keep having this vision. I hope it will come about someday. There's no way I'm the only person who'd want this. The basics of the problem are pretty familiar: c...
