Thoughts in a Pensieve

I'd have to say that I was impressed. Some say that it is SUPPOSED to be the style of the 1930's, but I think that is just short vision. Some also say it's not supposed to be a tank, but rather some 1960s Ford concept car called the Futura. But if you want to stick to that kind of logic, it should be a
plain, bright-red sedan.


You know what I think. First of all, IT'S JUST A MOVIE. Second of all, this is a good movie. Third, if Batman didn't exist in comics or movies before, then then this is a damn good movie. See, I think it's such a good and compelling film that if it were in fact the only iteration of a Batman, this film would be on par and have a following similar to the original Matrix. Not those crappy sequels that were just milking the original's ...uhh... originality.

I mean, this was a good well played movie. The acting was great, the story was great. the level of details and the thoughtfulness to pull lines back from the first half hour and say them again in the last half hour with different characters was done correctly. Some of it was predictable. "why do we fall down... so we can learn to get back up" but that's life, sometimes in life you do know what someone will say just minutes before they do it.

We're going to head to Binder Park zoo tomorrow. I have never been there, so i am looking forward to it. I am resisting the urge to be lazy and stay at home, especially after moving a ton of computers today. Quite literally a ton of computers. 66 pounds a box. 72 boxes. =4752 lbs = 2.1214286 Long Tons or 2.155471 metric Tons. So. my share was over a ton. since I do think I moved more than Mike. I had three on my dolly most of the time, while he had 2 on his.

I know that the kids will have fun, so I know that we should continue going out to do things. And look at them... ^ ... They need some cheering up.

Okay, bed time.

It's Friday and at least the weather is good. I just got done moving 72 eMacs. Well, I moved about half of them. I did get to drive a big old delivery truck around. Like this one only older. It may be called an econoline, but there is nothing "econo" about this beast. It gets about 70-100 miles to a tank. I think that's like 2-3 MPG. I am glad that I don't drive that to and from work. I'd have to fill up a 30 gallon tank everyday.

So, My coworker slept in this morning. I spent most of the morning trying to get our Webserver working. It's still not. try it. http://www.kelloggsville.k12.mi.us See, I told you. Most of the problem is that the server is behind a firewall and not on the real internet. I am hoping to change that soon, since the Novell Border Manager server we have doesn't seem to do NAT correctly. Oh to Replace the clunky Novell Servers with Xserves. Someday maybe we will.

Fake Bullet Holes and Damage Stickers make the perfect Illusion:
What's the big deal with all of this. I mean seriously. Why would you want fake bullet holes on your car. THEY DON"T EVEN LOOK REAL. I saw a car on the way in to work today that had a ton of these. It didn't make the car look cool, it made it look like crap. Like they were covering up some crappy paint job, or some real scratches. Dumb.

Found this today. Liked it, had to post it.

So I have to go finish cleaning out my apartment tonight. Plus turn in all of my Fire department stuff to Alpine Towship. Shannon is already over there, so I get to go join her. But here, enjoy a picture of my 15"PowerBook on my desk at work.

You know I was going to blog twice a day. but then this work thing keeps getting in the way. A teacher for summer school came in today asking if I took her laptop. um... no. Why would I take your laptop? Apparently she left it in her room on Friday, an it was gone monday morning. So, now I have to figure out what she is going to use next year for a computer. I think I'll give her an etch-a-sketch.

So much for two posts a day.
I have been taking care of my kids while Shannon has been working at church with our Teen Worship Arts Camp. I may get into detail about what that is another day.

I went to the Apple Store again today. still didn't buy anything, but my brother in law wanted to see it. He didn't want to go alone. He broke his power adapter on his Dell Laptop for the 3rd time. I don't know if it's user error or just crappy design. I am biased, so it could be a bit of both.

I think that's all I am going to write today. I need to go to bed, since I have to work tomorrow.
