Attention Google: Bill Gates is a Prick; But Sergey and Brin Are Closing In

   Posted by: goinglikesixty    in Baby Boomer, Technology

I’m getting REAL tired of seeing this in my Google RSS reader on Firefox 3. REAL tired. And apparently while this red bar of death is present, the feeds aren’t marked as read as I scroll through them. As soon as the red bar of death goes away, the feeds show up again as unread. [...]

Hell Yeah. Rockin’ Out On the Ukulele!

   Posted by: goinglikesixty    in Education, Entertainment, Money

Cowbag reminded me that I can play a mean Malagueña on the bass ukulele. Nancy (a different person than Cowbag BTW) had one in college and would play songs with chords and sing along. She rocked out on “Green Berets!” Har! Have I ever told you she lived in French Hall at Western Michigan University? Yeah, French [...]

   Posted by: goinglikesixty    in Entertainment, Random, Technology

Did you notice that little thingy in the bottom right of your screen? Its supposed to be a balloon that I can race around the internet. It’s a cool idea: if you are on a self-hosted blog if you just want to randomly visit other websites If you want to give me balloon juice, click on the floating [...]

WALL*E is Johnny 5’s Abandoned Love Bot

   Posted by: goinglikesixty    in Baby Boomer

When I first saw Wall-E, (above) I knew he was the spawn of Johnny 5: When I saw the trailer for Wall-E before Indiana Jones and the Temple-of-Crystal-Headed-Aliens-That-Buried-Their-Stupid-Lame-Ass-Flying-Saucer (caution that was a spoiler) I knew Wall-e was going to be a smash. It’s Pixar, it’s Toy Story and Monsters Inc. It will be (is) a great [...]

George Carlin. Dead. Was He An Icon To You? If Not, Who is? Is This Meme Too Revealing?

   Posted by: goinglikesixty    in Baby Boomer, Health

Professional bloggers often advise to not jump on the “breaking news” bandwagon, but to let things develop and put a different spin on a post. Suburban Hippie did a great job of doing just that. I’ve been resisting blogging about the death of George Carlin, because I can practically feel the Internet creaking from the weight of [...]

I Stepped In Gum This Morning. Equalibrium Restored in the Universe.

   Posted by: goinglikesixty    in Baby Boomer

As the Saluki flies, it’s quite a distance from central Illinois to southern Kentucky. But apparently not too far for someone to pay a clandestine visit to our street for the sole intent of payback. I stepped in gum this morning. In the street. I wasn’t wearing shoes. I wasn’t barefoot. I was in my socks. I [...]

George Carlin’s Death Cause Rash of Car Stupidness

   Posted by: goinglikesixty    in Baby Boomer

George Carlin died. Naturally this got me to thinking about cars and other forms of transportation. My RSS runneth over. Parking for White Cars Only Helmut Smits via Dyson Vacuum King will Design Cars that Suck. Hookers Take Bussing on the Road In IMAIM (that’s how MIAMI looks when a bus comes up behind you.) Get the Kid a Booster, [...]
