You're probably not from this great state. And if that is true, then you are missing out, my friend!How New Jersey Are You? Well, that's certainly appropriate. Should I be scared that I even scored 17%? http://www.elhide.com/solo/index.php?id=P2041 You Belong in 1963 If you scored... 1950 - 1959: You're fun loving, romantic, and more than a little innocent. See you at the drive in! 1960 - 1969: You are a free spirit with a huge heart. Love, peace, and happiness rule - oh, and drugs too. 1970 - 1979: Bold and brash, you take life by the horns. Whether you're partying or protesting, you give it your all! 1980 - 1989: Wild, over the top, and just a little bit cheesy. You're colorful at night - and successful... http://www.elhide.com/solo/index.php?id=P2040 You Communicate With Your Ears You love conversations, both as a listener and a talker. What people say is important to you, and you're often most affected by words, not actions. You love to hear complements from others. And when you're upset, you often talk to yourself. Music is very important to you. It's difficult to find you without your iPod. How Do You Communicate? Via Deb, for whom the eyes have it. http://www.elhide.com/solo/index.php?id=P2039 You Are Jean Grey Although your fate is often unknown, you always seem to survive (even after death). Your mind is your greatest weapon, literally! Powers: telepathy and telekinesis, the ability to project thoughts into the mind of others, communication with animals Which of the X-Men Are You? http://www.elhide.com/solo/index.php?id=P2038 Yesterday my wife announced over on The Accidental Jedi that she was working on a project. I think she did a great job! We designed the layout a few weeks ago, fiddled with CSS and all its glory before taking the tried and true approach, which she sat down and implemented yesterday while I was at the office. Then last night and this morning we finalized it. Folks, I give you... Accidental Verbosity I will be posting over there now. At least, on days when I have time to post!... http://www.elhide.com/solo/index.php?id=P2037 I was poking around and found this page on sleep apnea and snoring. Of interest, it says: It is generally safe to say that unless an obvious and easily correctable physical obstruction can be identified in patients with sleep apnea (e.g., massively enlarged tonsils and/or adenoids) that a surgical procedure is never the treatment of choice. The gold standard for the medical treatment of obstructive sleep apnea remains nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Nasal CPAP is the... http://www.elhide.com/solo/index.php?id=P2036 So a few weeks ago I was tested in a sleep lab, to see if I have sleep apnea or what. I've been eagerly awaiting the results. So eagerly, I was planning to stop at my doctor's office and harass him today, since my next appointment isn't for another month. Well, now I have the results! Sort of. It became known to me in the form of a call from the equipment vendor that, yes, I do have sleep apnea and, indeed, they plan to hook me to a machine. As opposed to doing something surgical... http://www.elhide.com/solo/index.php?id=P2035 Absinthe & Cookies has moved! It is now at http://bittersweet.ondragonswing.com. Be sure to update your links. You do have it linked, right? All AgitProp, All The Time - aka Frozen In Montreal - has also moved. It is now at http://fim.ondragonswing.com. Ditto. Ummm... the same goes for Ninjababe's Ramble, now at http://ramble.ondragonswing.com. Notice a trend here? Exactly. Mickey's Musings has also moved, and can be found at http://mickey.ondragonswing.com. And... http://www.elhide.com/solo/index.php?id=P2034 In keeping with upcoming CotC host Don Quixote's suggestion for all such metablogging events, I have created a fixed URL that will always redirect to the most recent instance of Carnival of the Capitalists: http://elhide.com/solo/cc.htm There is bound to be a fuzzy area around the time a new CotC is first posted, same as with my announcing it in the traditional venues. Apart from that, the above address should always take you to the latest, just as capitalists -at- elhide.com... http://www.elhide.com/solo/index.php?id=P2033 Read Citizen Smash. Specifically, start with his overview of attending the protest. So where are the pictures dude? Then continue through Rebecca's little speech, and finally Smash's excellent and restrained interview with Rebecca. Superlative stuff. http://www.elhide.com/solo/index.php?id=P2032 One thing I forgot to mention when I talked about our recent visit to Barnes & Noble was their elimination of comfy chairs. In fact, all chairs. Except in the Starbucks section of the store. They replaced them with a large info desk nobody seemed to be using, and additional racks and tables of books. I found the whole thing jarring, even though I am not one to sit in the store and read at length. I always used the chairs when hanging out at the store with Nicole and Sherri, when... http://www.elhide.com/solo/index.php?id=P2031 I have to agree with Glenn on this one. Read Lileks Now. A tidbit to get you piqued and started: Imagine if you woke from an operation and discovered that your tumor was gone. You’d think: I suppose that’s a good thing. But. You learned that the hospital might profit from the operation. You learned that the doctor who made the diagnosis had decided to ignore all the other doctors who believed the tumor could be discouraged if everyone protested the tumor in the strongest possible... http://www.elhide.com/solo/index.php?id=P2030 The Entrepreneurial Mind, has the March 22nd edition of Carnival of the Capitalists at http://forum.belmont.edu/cornwall/archives/000674.html. The next edition will be hosted at Solport. Send your entries to capitalists -at- elhide.com per usual. Remember the hosts and info page, aka Carnival of the Capitalists home page, is at http://www.elhide.com/solo/cotc.htm and the past CotC locations are linked at http://elhide.com/solo/pastcotc.htm so it's easy for you to... http://www.elhide.com/solo/index.php?id=P2029 When it's a result of deficiencies in GAAP with respect to companies less tangibly based than was long the norm. Via Real Clear Politics http://www.elhide.com/solo/index.php?id=P2028 Well, we didn't win PowerBall. Even at a piddly $12 million, it would have been nice. Oh well. We went to breakfast yesterday at Good Days, in West Bridgewater, Massachusetts, which I highly recommend. Deb seems to concur. We met my father, stepmother, sister, brother in law, and the two nephews who are their geek offspring. At least, Deb declared them geeks, since Dan was reading I, Robot at the table, while Marc was wrestling with a Gameboy. This means the only major relative of... http://www.elhide.com/solo/index.php?id=P2027 A couple people who previously hosted Carnival of the Capitalists have asked to host again following the anniversary. I asked them to come back and remind me in a couple months, since I didn't want to start filling more 2nd year dates yet. Then, yesterday, someone asked to host in the "for rent" slot I had listed for October 25th, which I had left there after the anniversary date mainly to show that CotC was not ending after its first 54 weeks. Given that there was a good... http://www.elhide.com/solo/index.php?id=P2026 I meant to post this after the meatloaf. The hash browns pushed me over the edge. Deb is astounded, but she can really cook. Tonight she made hash browns from scratch as an experiment. They were awesome, and went nicely with the egg and cheese thing she does so well. Of course, now I will want them all the time... She also made one of the tastiest meatloafs I have ever had, and the women in my family can seriously cook, including meatloaf. Ironically, she started it, found there... http://www.elhide.com/solo/index.php?id=P2025 I was quite amused to find I was the number one hit in this search for naked vulvas in my referrer logs. Sorry guys; no pictures here. This is a tame blog. http://www.elhide.com/solo/index.php?id=P2024 Woohoo! I am so happy my suggestion for fixing Kelley's internet connectivity problem worked. When I saw the mention of proxy server, I thought of my own experiences with the same thing. In fact, the machine I am typing this on sometimes gets plugged into my client's network rather than mine. When I do so, I have to do the same thing with WSP Client. http://www.elhide.com/solo/index.php?id=P2023 As anyone who lives in a place with snow and on street parking learns, there is etiquette involved in parking. A form of property right, however informal, for that matter. In my current abode, parking spots are not assigned, beyond the fact that each of the two apartments gets one of the three spots in the upper driveway, and the other spot is up for grabs. Since there are three of them and two of us, we leave two spots for them and park the other cars down below. There's...
