Mom on the web

My mom was ego-surfing today and discovered photos of some of her artwork that’s currently traveling with the National Embroider’s Guild Show. Check ‘em out:

Not Enough Free Time Blues
The Gathering Place

I think I like the first one better. I give it bonus points for recycling AOL CDs.

HELP!

I just received my third email in two days from three different people at work with the subject line “HELP!” (Actually one had three exclaimation points, if you want to get detailed.)

We’ve got about 15 identical Dell Optiplex desktop machines at work, that were all purchased at the same time just slightly less than 3 years ago. We’ve never had any significant problems with them…I think one hard drive went last year, maybe another CD-ROM drive failed. In the last 2 months, they’ve just [...]

RE: Matrix Reloaded

Loved it! Didn’t make any sense, but luckily I’ve never thought that was a requirement for a good movie…visually brilliant!

Top 5 things I learned from American Idol

5. Ford will do anything to sell cars.
4. There’s something to be said for professional makeovers.
3. The unmodulated, impromtu key change is severly overused in modern popular music…due to it’s ability to feign a heightened sense of drama in an otherwise repetitive song.
2. Neil Sedaka is still alive.
1. Bigger is better.

Doom III

I like shooting monsters.
I like shooting photo-realistic monsters with cinematic lighting effects even more.

American Idol - Go Ruuuuuuben!

I hope Ruben wins tonight. We voted. Well, Kt did. Several times. I don’t like Clay…he has a powerful voice, but I think lacks the subtleties of a great singer. I thought he was really weak last night, as a matter of fact. His “Here, There and Everywhere” had [...]

Mavericks

I’m starting to believe the Maverick’s could win the NBA championship after last night’s win. Though I love basketball, I am not a big NBA fan…but come playoff time I usually start watching some. And, since the local team has been good, I pay a little more attention.
They say you can’t win the [...]

Standing water

In Texas, it’s important not to leave standing water around in containers in your yard. The mosquitos will still get you, but it helps to minimize their breeding opportunities. Of course, the government doesn’t go around kicking over your buckets for you, and they don’t ticket you if don’t do it yourself…after all, [...]

ERP upgrades

Don’t upgrade your ERP solution. It’s not worth it. At least if you’ve heavily modified the system, it’s not.
