Thursday miscellanea #110

  • The boys have drawn honest-to-goodness pictures for their desired jack-o’-lanterns this year.  I’m going in.  Wish me luck.
  • A buddy at work just bought a mint-condition, year-old Breitling Aerospace for not quite a song, but for a hell of a break off a new one.  I played with it today.  What a marvelous piece.  I’m happy for him and not at all jealous.  Not a lick.  Really.  Truly.
  • I don’t like being rapidly approached by a stranger in public when I’m by myself, and when I’m out with my boys, I won’t tolerate it at all.  If I don’t know you, do not run up to me when my children are with me.  Thank you, masses.
  • Despite my gloomy prediction, of course I’d love to see Alabama get to the BCS title game.  So I’m pulling just like you are for all of the puzzle pieces we need.  One of those pieces may well be that we need Auburn to be 11-0 coming into the Iron Bowl.  Tide Nation, I know it’s not fun, but please be for Auburn until Thanksgiving.  (Oh, and be for Nebraska and Iowa this weekend too.)
  • Google wants to move the operating system itself to the cloud next.  I’m already timid about online applications that are intended to replace desktop applications, and I have a feeling I’ll never accept an online OS.  (He said, digging in his heels absently.)  Perhaps it’s a generational thing.
  • Fall soccer ends Saturday.  Nathan made a big jump this year in terms of what’s expected of him, and did well.  Both boys had a good time.
  • My latest commitment to improve my health (forever) is holding, and things are still moving in the right direction.  I’m excited.  I have a minor milestone I want to break before I yap about it too much.

  1. I never thought I would pull for NC State, but tonight I am.

    Trust in Google to do things right. I replaced my Blackberry with the Droid 2 about 3 weeks ago and am amazed at how efficient the OS is and by the blazing speed.

  2. Speaking of strangers in public, does that dude that used to stalk me at MB&C count? Thankfully Joani and I were at B&N and I went un-noticed. Dodged a bullet I did. The whole time I was worried a HEEYYY DAAve would ring out across the store.

  3. Cheryl, I don’t doubt Google’s technical prowess. I’m afraid of them.

    Buzz, I still see him around. I always ask him if he’s seen you lately. 😀

    ‘seester, I’m so proud of you. Just work a little harder, and you might get your very own post, top to bottom, for the army of admirers to pounce upon!

  4. I’ll do my part and root for Nebraska. I lived there for 10 years and you just can’t help but be a fan once you’ve gone to a game at Memorial Stadium, (unless you were there two weeks ago, then you’re just sad.)

  5. I’m skeptical about the Chrome, too. Too much of what I do ISN’T web-involved. I also don’t care for the big-brother feeling of it all.

    But I’m a paranoid wingnut from way back.

  6. Mirth, plus Peter Stormare is coaching there! Heh.

    Kemtee, it’s not paranoia if they really are out to get you, and Google’s ultimate goal is indexing the sum output of the human race.
