-------- AUTHOR: Drew Bryden DATE: 7/2/2004 08:10:24 PM ----- BODY: After the late night game watching last night, I am feeling exceptionally lazy this evening. I spent the last hour tidying up and copying music to swap to my Rio Cali. I did this with every intention of creating a new play list for listening on a run tonight. The post-hellish-workday-lazies soon took over, and before I knew it I was reorganizing all of the music on my computer and the Cali. If anyone is in the market for a personal, versatile, MP3 player/radio, I would highly recommend this unit. I have had it since last December, and have since used it on long distance trips and daily workouts. I have nothing to compare to, as this was my first player, but it is simply the best! The Cali 128 carries 4 hours of WMA or 2 hours of MP3 with no skips… ever. Comfortable, Sport-Clip earphones, armband with holder, and the stopwatch with lap timer make the Cali a perfect workout accessory.

I have not considered tattoos for a long time, but my UPS delivery guy invited me to a tattoo party on Monday. After checking out the artist’s web and galleries of his work, I decided to get my left upper arm fixed-up. I got home from work this evening and there was a message from UPS guy. Lots of empty promises and cancellations didn’t bring enough people to make the trip worth it for the artist… sorry, party cancelled! I was bummed. Jed (UPS guy) volunteered to ride up to his shop in Providence with me if I was interested, so I will have to check him out there.

Tonight, I am sticking to the lazy routine. I need the rest, and it is too late for the workout now. Tomorrow is my Saturday on, and it looks like a stretch of nice days to follow. It should be a nice weekend. -------- COMMENT-AUTHOR:Anonymous COMMENT-DATE:2/7/04 9:30 PM COMMENT-BODY:You seem awfully close to the UPS guy.... -------- COMMENT-AUTHOR:Drew COMMENT-DATE:2/7/04 9:45 PM COMMENT-BODY:The "U" in UPS does stand for United you know... -------- COMMENT-AUTHOR:Anonymous COMMENT-DATE:2/7/04 10:01 PM COMMENT-BODY:I wish I could get that close to my UPS guy...whats your secret?!?!

For diehard fans like myself, however, I am still awake (on a work night), watching the Sox try to pull it off in the 13th inning against the Yankees.

Update, as I type: The Yankees have just tied it up and it is either going to end here, or we go to fourteen innings. I will learn their fate in the morning. This is ridiculous!

Update to the update: Devastating, crushing, horrible loss! Why do I torture myself?

I was running Firebird on my previous machine, but on purchasing the new computer everything worked so smoothly with Windows XP, Internet Explorer and Outlook Express all pre-installed. That is, until I read the articles linked here. I knew all of these things, but chose to ignore them. I attempted an install of Firefox a few weeks back and ran into some conflicts that caused my puter to suddenly start acting up. I am trying again, and will keep trying until I make this computer work without Internet Explorer jeopardizing my security.

You don't have to, it actually wants to launch at the end of install, but I find it less buggy to do a clean start. Also I found when doing an 'update' of FireFox go into the control panel and uninstall the old version first (back up bookmarks first) and the new install will be cleaner too. I didn't do this on one computer and now it keeps telling me there is an update because it sees an old version I can't figure out how to uninstall.

And get the 'Nuke anything' and the 'adblock' extensions. They are the best!

I really can't say enough good things about these two programs. Keep trying to get them running, they are well worth it! -------- AUTHOR: Drew Bryden DATE: 6/30/2004 10:10:18 PM ----- BODY:
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP)
Climbers poking around a high-elevation camp on Mount McKinley discovered a human foot sticking out of the snow. Rangers dug out the frozen corpse of a man who died 35 years ago. At that elevation, the mountain is perpetually frozen, and the man's body was fairly well-preserved after it was dug out.

SCOTTSDALE, Arizona (CBS)
After Ted Williams died July 5, 2002, his body was taken by private jet to Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Scottsdale, Ariz. There, Williams' body was separated from his head in a procedure called neuroseparation.The procedure, approved by Williams' son, John Henry, and daughter, Claudia, carries a $136,000 bill.

$136,000??? For $50,000 I’ll take you to Mount McKinley and stuff your dead ass in a snow bank. Assuming global warming is the B.S. I think it is, we can thaw you out as soon as your D.N.A. can be legally used to bring you back. If , in the next twenty years technology has not allowed for your return, I would like permission to use your frozen body to produce fog effects at my theme park. -------- COMMENT-AUTHOR:Anonymous COMMENT-DATE:1/7/04 6:33 AM COMMENT-BODY:I never understood why they pop off the head to freeze the guy.

1) Work, and
2) Shopping
I have never been accused of having trouble falling asleep. When my head hits the pillow it is because I am ready to crash, and crash I do. The two activities listed above, however, seem to have a negative effect on my ZZZ's factor. I am all wound up after both.

Perhaps it is the bright lights at Stop & Shop. My internal clock must be tricked into thinking it is daytime. Or maybe it is the excitement of the hunt and bringing home the day's bounty. Whatever the case, I am up way past my bedtime. I should have known better, but the coffee was running low. Do you see the conundrum here? I went shopping for the coffee, which helps me to feel more awake because I couldn't get to sleep after going shopping. There is more hidden behind my hyped-up, post-shopping feeling, but I'm not quite sure what yet.

Maybe I will find the answer in this protein bar...

According to Moore: “The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not ‘insurgents’ or ‘terrorists’ or ‘The Enemy.’ They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow – and they will win.” In other words, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the beheader of Nicholas Berg, is not America’s enemy, he is an Islamic reincarnation of Ethan Allen or Paul Revere, a harbinger of some new global freedom which can only be achieved by the overthrow of the Great American Satan.


These are the people that should be leading our country... NOT!!! -------- COMMENT-AUTHOR:kindersczenen COMMENT-DATE:29/6/04 12:09 AM COMMENT-BODY:He's about as truthful as "the other side", meaning, everyone twists the facts as they see fit. Do I mind? Nah, I realise that's what they're supposed to do. It's sad when I see people haranguing me to register (you're 11 years too late people--they got me in high school), thinking that at this level (Presidential), my one vote is going to change anything. It's not. This film isn't going to change my mind one way or the other. If this had been a film about Clinton's skeletons, etc., I know that quite a few people on the conservative side would say it's truth, whilst the liberals would say it's lies.

And where would "they lead us if given the chance?" I'm not saying that one party is better than the other (for some reason, they aren't represented by anyone who even has a semblance of similarity to me--well, they're human.) -------- AUTHOR: Drew Bryden DATE: 6/27/2004 11:06:48 PM ----- BODY: The daily diary of my bicycle commute now has a new home.

Okay… most people would have returned home to sing the glories of such a gorgeous morning. The New Charles River Run went well, and we couldn’t have asked for better race weather. Unfortunately, I had to navigate traffic to get back and forth to Boston from the Cape, and I was reminded why it is I don’t commute to Boston for work. My morning was not the perfection I would have liked because of a few inconsiderate morons. I must vent, so bear with me. What is with the drivers of two door Audis, BMWs, Saabs, and Volvos? I have done a little driving during trips to Hyannis and Boston this weekend, and I have been a close-up witness to numerous near accidents. All of these near accidents were caused by drivers of the above mentioned coupes. A couple were the result of closely weaving in and out of traffic without turn signals or regard to the proximity of other vehicles being cut off and around. A couple more were the result of flying up behind people in the passing lane at high rates of speed (fast enough to intimidate anyone into attempting to move out of the way, fearing the streak coming up behind), and just as they reach the rear bumper of the vehicle in front of them they swerve, without signaling, to pass on the right; this occurs just as the frightened driver in front is attempting to move right and get out of the way. Both times, this caused a near collision as the horrified front vehicles almost sideswiped the illegally passing-on-the-right idiots (we all must pass on the right some times, but not like these jerks were). What is with these people? I have seen this happen plenty of times before, but this weekend all of the vehicles were similar, foreign two doors. I wasn’t even directly involved in any of these incidents and I was left shaken. These maniacs weren’t phased a bit, continuing on their insane path after flipping the bird, shaking their fist or shouting for no one to hear. Where are the police when these offenders are flying down the road? I never see European sports cars pulled over. Why is that?

As I am already at full rant, I may as well continue. I was remarking to Rebecca yesterday that there are “nice” cyclists and “a**hole” cyclists. A**hole cyclists are the racers and long distance cyclists, wearing their technical, product endorsement apparel who would not lift a hand to wave, nod their head or say hello to a fellow cyclist not looking spiffy enough for their standards. I saw a few of these same a**hole cyclists go through a red light in Sandwich on my way to Boston this morning. Apparently traffic laws do not apply to these idiots either. Cyclists like these give us all a bad name. It is no wonder people want us on the sidewalks or bike paths.

This leads me nicely to the next moron in my day. I am almost to full rant here. Apparently there are a**hole runners too! I knew there were runners too stuck up to acknowledge middle of the pack and slower runners as fellow racers. Today, some a**hole runner chose to use the back of my pick up as a waste bin for a six foot length of porta-potty paper turned snot rag (at least I hope that is what it was used for). This piece of industrial strength, 200 grit toilet paper wrapped itself around my bicycle carrier in the bed of my truck, and proceeded to irritatingly flap and wave in my rearview the whole way back to the Cape (no, I would not pull over… that would have involved touching the paper without proper bathing facilities nearby).

The rant is winding down here, but no, it is isn’t over yet! Other than when I hit traffic coming into the Sagamore rotary, the T.P. was able to wave violently in the wind for the whole trip… except in the tunnel on the expressway leaving Boston, when some illiterate foreigners decided to stop in the center lane of the tunnel to translate a sign they were reading. I brought up the rear of what almost became a fifteen car pile up, and despite all of our blinking turn signals, no one was going to let us into the lanes right or left of this jack a**, so we had to wait for the entire five word sign to be translated and interpreted.

I made it home. I ran nine minute miles. I am not as miserable as I sound… how could you be on a day like today? I just felt my adventures had a little entertainment value. I may not have won the race, but at least I avoided the wrecks. --------
