My blog. Personal thoughts, anecdotes, and musings.
I was using the new online bill paying service of my credit union yesterday for the first time. After entering all of the required information about one of my payees and submitting it to the bank, I was greeted with this message box.
The iTrip is banned in England RIAA Radar – See if the album you want to buy is affiliated with the RIAA. Microsoft’s web site kicked offline today.
Here are the pictures, as promised, from my cousin’s wedding. I don’t have any pictures from the reception because they simply didn’t turn out. These pictures are from immediately after the wedding.
I’m sitting in the conference room right now waiting for a presentation to begin… I’m really excited because it’s all about designing web pages using only CSS and no tables. I want to do that with this server. It’s just starting… so I will write more later
I’m heading out of town to go to Chicago for my cousin’s wedding. It should be a good time. I’m hoping to hook up with Neal and Sara sometime over the weekend, if only for a few hours. In the meantime, check out these useless activities. Kill some Mosquitos: the Wisconsin state passtime The easiest fighting game ever. Space bar to punch, arrows to move.

In George Washington’s days, there were no cameras. One’s image was either sculpted
or painted. Some paintings of George Washington showed him standing behind a
desk with one arm behind his back while others showed both legs and both arms.
Prices charged by painters were not based on how many people were to be painted,
but by how many limbs were to be painted. Arms and legs are “limbs” therefore
painting them would cost the buyer more. Hence the expression “Okay, but
it’ll cost you an arm and a leg.”
Those of us who grew up in a small town will laugh when we read this. Those

are true. Thanks to Anita for this one… sometimes it is nice to be reminded
of where we grow up…. not always… but sometimes.

Finished Harry Potter: Order Of The Phoenix It only took me a few days to read it, but it was really good. Unfortunately, I can’t write too much more about it because everything I write would ruin the story. So just go read it yourself. You’ll love it.
