Down On Ferry Farm

I watched the following video with amusement and amazement. I don't know if it's true -- I don't really care. It's probably the coolest 8 minutes you can spend staring at your computer screen. Items to note: - Count the number of red lights (HA!) - Count the number of people who are almost hit - Watch as the driver rolls down one way streets -- the wrong way - Is that the Arch De Triumph? Where's the Eiffel Tower? - Freakin' birds -- get out of the way!!!!! Well, anyhow... I think it's cool. You may or may not agree. Is it art? You may or may not agree. Without further ado, I give you: "Rendezvous" Rendezvous

The other night I had a very strange dream. Don't worry, this dream is fun for the whole family -- no nudity or adult situations. One warning, though: you have to have been watching Grey's Anatomy for this dream to make any sense. I will refer to the character's name, not the actor. Off we go... So it starts out in a small room in a hospital. I can tell this because of the stainless steel cabinets and the tiles on the wall. I'm there with Izzie Stevens -- very cute blonde doctor. Quite frankly, she's blathering on about her personal life and I can't really make out what she's saying. I look down and I'm wearing scrubs. We leave the room we're in and run into Alex Karev. He's talking to me as we walk down the hallway. Basically, all I get from him is that there's a woman in labor and I'll be in on the birthing process as the 'proxy father' since the real father is not here yet. I seem somehow okay with this. Next, we run into Chris

So, I'm sitting there in my office today and I hear something outside. It sounds like a bird squawking. I don't pay it any mind. But it continues. I try to ignore it, but it keeps coming back. I look outside my window to see if I can see a bird. Something is not right. I stand up and look out the window again and I see a wheel-barrow with a woman kneeling behind it. At first I don't think anything of it because I saw the landscaping crew working earlier. But then she starts to scream: it's the noise I've been hearing. I run from my desk, out the back door, to where she is. "Don't touch me!" she says to me immediately. She is leaned over her wheel-barrow which is half off the curb she was trying to get up at the time she pulled her back. "Are you okay?", I ask. "No," she says "I've pulled my back. Can you get my supervisor, John?" She points in the direction where she thinks he is and I take off running. You must unders

I'm not a happy camper. Know why? I had to mow my lawn today for the first time this season. It was getting pretty thick and everyone around me had already taken care of theirs... so I was the lone hold-out. When I went out to the shed, I found that my string trimmer had broken. The little cup that actually holds the string had fallen apart. Time for a new one, I guess. As I'm cutting my back yard, I can see my neighbors setting up for the big Easter holiday party. They've got a car port on the side of their yard that faces my back yard. It almost looks like they're saying "I wish this guy would hurry up and finish so we can get our party started". They'd bring something out to the table... look over at me as I'm cutting the yard... then go back in for something else. I don't know that it was intentional, but that's how it seemed to me. No sooner had I finished then the rest of the family showed up. I swear, if I had a camera, I'd be shooti

I like water. I live in an area surrounded by water. I take a shower in water almost every day. I like to drink water. I like the way it tastes and feels in my mouth as I consume it. They tell me it has no calories. 1 part hydrogen, 2 parts oxygen -- H20. Water. Three distinct chemical make-ups... water, steam and ice. It also has it's bad sides. I don't like slick floors. Tsunami's, hurricanes and floods are no fun. When it rains and you don't want it to. Hot showers are nice. Slick skin is much better. Water pours down upon you and drains away. It's almost like a cleansing -- it IS a cleansing. Crying is not good -- sometimes. That's water, isn't it? A type of water. I pass a lake on my way to work, I may have mentioned it here before. I like this lake. I wonder how it has a different texture every day. I wouldn't mind living by a lake, seeing that light fog waft above the surface. Somedays the lake looks just like a mirror, only broken by a duck swimm

It is the end of a very grueling work week. I'm currently listening to some light-and-breezy Dave Brubeck. I'm just going to pour out my thoughts as they come to me. I apologize in advance if any of this is about you or offends you. I can't remember the last time I was this tired of work. I have been so frustrated by my job lately and my cries of help go unanswered. I'm not like this... I don't usually yell at people when I'm at the office. I don't usually make stupid mistakes. But when the pressure is on and they keep piling then it's very hard to control. We have made a running joke out of the fact that we suck at communication. It's true. It doesn't matter what tools we get to help in this process we just don't communicate, as a company. Here are some helpful hints: 1. When I'm done with your project and I hand you back the paperwork, don't tell me "Oh, there's something I forgot to tell you..." 2. Tell me as much as

Have you heard of this site Pandora.com? If not, go there and check it out. They have suggestions of artists that are close to ones you give them. For instance, if you put in Pink Floyd, you get to hear songs from a bunch of different groups that sort of sound like ‘Floyd. After a few songs, though, they get off track because one group brings something to the table that the previous band might not have had. Generally, it’s cool. Here’s the basic flow: - Enter the name of an artist that you like. Example: Pink Floyd - They start you off with a song of this artist that exemplifies their general sound or artistic presence - You can either listen to the song (that you’ve probably heard before) or skip to the next suggestion - When you skip ahead, you’ll hear a group that matches closest to your original group - I’ve found that three or four songs into their suggestions, things get a little out of sync and you’re hearing a group that sounds nothing like your original group. Not much you ca
