Today I turned 29. It was the same as 28 but with a wicked hangover.

I went out last night to a Lithuanian Restaurant, had amazing food and tons to drink. Then played some darts and was hoisted in my chair 29 times. Today I felt the pain of last nights events, and swore off drinking for at least 24 hours.

Awesome Fun Rugs

by werty on July 26, 2007

These are some pretty sweet rugs for your house!

Dan Golden Rug Design.

I am not sure they would fit in with my decor at the moment. It would be like walking on a piece of artwork…not sure how I feel about it. My favorite is the "God wants me to be financially abundant".

by werty on June 14, 2007

I had a problem with my Windows Defender giving me the following error code: 0X80240022 when it tried to update. I was also unable to download updates for XP, and office through the browser.

To solve it I went to start> programs > administrative tools > services.

Required Reading / Listening

by werty on June 12, 2007

I came across this tonight which is a pretty great speech by congressman Ron Paul.

Lew Rockwell did an excellent job transcribing the video so you can read along with it as Ron Paul speaks. It is long, but I think it does a great job of putting into words some of the feelings/fears I have had lately. I would recommend going here and listening to the whole speech while you read the text.

Feedback

This is an old fashioned braindump. If you can connect any of the dots you will see something similar to what I am seeing. I am still in the middle of digesting it all and am not sure how i feel about any of it. It is an information overload, and was originally written and saved MONTHS ago. I have no idea of the actual date of it, but I found it tonight while I planning to go through this sweet sweet site and re-organize the posts.

Fetus and Franklin?

by werty on June 6, 2007

Here are 2 kind of off the wall "toys" that I have. The first is a Ben Franklin toy that my friend Mikey got me. The second is a little plastic fetus that I bought (in bulk) off of eBay. Why you ask? I really do not have an answer. I was going to use them in some crazy sculptures, but that never happened. Now there are around 40 of these little buggers somewhere in my house!

So I took more photos in my sweet light tent set-up and played around with some of the setting. Digital photography is pretty interesting. I have never had a high end camera that shot in "RAW" format, until now. It allows you to play with a ton of the settings that would be similar to darkroom development techniques. I think it is pretty interesting and fun. Not only that, but being able to change every setting on the camera ranging from exposure time, to exact focus, puts me back into total control of every photo I am taking. It is great.

Free Buddy Lee Desktops

by werty on June 6, 2007

So I took a trip into the basement today and setup some more pictures in the light tent. I really liked how these came out, so Buddy Lee is now my new desktop. I run dual 19" monitors at 1280×1024 each for a total of 2560×1024. So I made 1 wide buddy lee that is 2560×1024
