Oh No You Didn't!

Sucker try to play me but you never paid me, never
Payback is-a comin', you will be runnin' forever
Until I get my vengeance, I will never end this mayhem
I'm a mercenary, you ain't got a prayer, you owe meee!

Mercenaries 2 jingle by Chris Tilton. Delicious.

A new web browser called Google Chrome is out, and oh my god is it beautiful. I've barely begun toying with it, but I'm immediately struck by how pretty it is. New tabs flow as if spawned from the finger of Artemis. My guess is there is specific Google code that can be used to ooze more gorgeous onto pages created specifically for Chrome. It's not a grand slam--there are some features that read like bugs to me, such as the URL bar coloring--but it's definitely a base hit in a game where the major players are still learning to hold a bat. (Sorry, Firefox--you know I love you.)

Thanks to the Bertainas for hosting a great Labor Day picnic on Sunday. We got to play flag football (yup, Abert brought flags. Take note, scouts, that's preparedness). Caitlin yelled at me a lot, and I got turned on. In a completely uncalled-for but somewhat expected move, I sacked the hell out of 95-lb Kelsey. So wrong. I mean, just look at that innocent face. It was good seeing everyone again, many ass-slaps were handed out, and at the end I came out with what Mary swears is a back massager, but looks more like a...well, judge for yourself.


Ok, so that's not quite it, but make it green, add a spring, and give it to someone with a dirty mind like mine. The resemblance is obvious.

In other news...finally got the office set up just so, and it is a pleasure to come to work. Got my toys, got my twin PCs and monitor triplets, and the view outdoors ain't half bad either (though it's a constant battle of the blinds: I like seeing the people outside, Lori finds it distracting, and J.R. can do without the sun beating down on him). When everyone breaks for lunch, though....muah hah hah hah.






So Garb Fussell may come to work with me at CAP. I'm sorta-friends with the chick who'll hire him (note that's who will, not who may), so I keep dropping buzz words. She's hung up on another job she has to fill first (she's somewhat staffless now, with many key Campus Progress members moving on to different things). Garb is thinking about applying for the higher-priority job (a smart move, I think), so I talked to Shereen and she seemed pretty happy about the prospect. We'll see how it plays out.

Aw, snap. Bakari needs some guidance in the ways of computer groove, so I'm off to hook him up.

First you try to trap me, then you bust a cap in my ass
Such humiliation will bring annhialation at last
It will be delicious when I get vicious tomorrow
There's no second chances, you will do the dance of sorrooow...

UPDATE: South America pics are finally up, but not all are rotated and came out better than I expected.
