Random Thinking
August 7th, 2007 -- by Augie De Blieck Jr.
Random thoughts for a Wednesday:
- “Boogie,” the Wii rhythm game I mentioned last week as “danceteria,” is in stores today. That was fast. (Or, more likely, I was slow.)
- The handiest UNIX function ever? “Cal.” I don’t even need a calendar hanging at my desk at work. I just type “cal” into the perpetually-open UNIX window and get what I need. I’m such a geek.
- Sign of the times: Pictures of victims of a recent multiple murder were shown on the local TV news with credits going to the local newspapers for two of them and “Facebook” for the third. Not even “Facebook.com.” Everyone just knows what “Facebook” is now.
- Word I want stricken from the dictionary today: “Anyway.” It’s nowhere near as badly misused and overused as “like,” but I’m starting to get sick of it being used as a transition device.
- Ooh, relatively cheap dSLR camera!
- Sign you’ve been diabetic too long: You wake up from a restless sleep in the middle of the night, look at the clock, see “3:41″ and think, “Holy crap, my blood sugar is high.” Ironically, it was, but not THAT badly.

Augie,
A little help - the SLR link doesn’t work.

I missed the last four characters. Fixed now. Thanks, Jeff!
