Where's George?
Where's George? ® 2.0Got the standard 2 Chicken Pita Sandwiches at the new Zankou Chicken in West LA for lunch today. As I was putting my change away, I noticed that one of the dollar bills had a red stamp around one of the symbols saying something about a 'Currency Tracking Study'.
Where's George? is a site that tracks money by the zip code entered by each person who finds the bill. Kinda intersting idea...
According to my Where's George? Bill Tracking Report:
One Dollar Bill, Serial# J2001---0Q Series: 1995
This bill has travelled 5.7 Miles in 10 Days, 1 Hr, 58 Mins at an average of 0.57 Miles per day.
Wi-Fi mooching and the law | CNET News.com
CNET News.com has a Q&A regarding ""Wi-Fi mooching"...I prefer the term "borrowing"
Is it legal to use someone's Wi-Fi connection to browse the Web if they haven't put a password on it?Sounds legal to me! Too bad someone's neighbors are discovering what WEP means.
Nobody really knows. "It's a totally open question in the law," says Neal Katyal, a professor of criminal law at Georgetown University. "There are arguments on both sides."

Aloha!
Hiked the Na Pali Coast today...absolutely amazing. Took the Kalalau Trail to a secluded beach where the cold river water mixes with the warm Pacific Ocean. Then we hiked up into interior Hanakapiai Valley to see its 300-foot waterfall. I made myself jump into the water under the waterfall and it was quite the religious experience. The long 7 hour hike made us very tired...but very happy.
It's golf tomorrow, the wedding rehearsal, and then the wedding on Sunday. I'll recap later...
Aloha!

Blogger Help : How do I post pictures?
Blogger Help : How do I post pictures?
Well I had to try out the new Blogger tool for posting pictures. Not bad. Obviously a lot simpler than the old fashioned way.
Ah the memories of high school basketball. Ain't nothing like putting on your black socks for that oh so special game.

Doves @ The Wiltern
Setlist (As far as 'someone on the messageboard' remembers):
Where We're Calling FromPlus they had a great lighting setup and my favorite at concerts: random videos playing in the background. I've officially added "Director of Random Concert Visuals/Videos" to the career list (the dreamy, not so serious career list). Where else can you force people to watch your film about birds sitting on a telephone wire or about 1970's russian youths who wear tank tops and bellbottoms and breakdance like gumby?

Getaway Thursday: chadWAYS
This weekend's festivites are in honor of my high school buddy's departure. In less than a month, young Chad will officially move out of bachelordom and into MarriedLand. Oh how the mighty have fallen. After a flight to SF and a birthday dinner for our buddy Joe, 10 of us will take off tomorrow in a 30' RV. Thankfully, we have liqour-fearing mormon as our lifetime designated driver.
Anyhow, apparently someone enjoyed the movie Sideways a bit too much as our first stop will be in Napa Valley for a bit o' wine tasting. I'm actually pretty excited about seeing Napa. My sister went there and her pic's were beautiful. That and I'm eager to visit the birthplace of Mark "Big Dog" Devany. (You might remember him from such classic reality shows as BLIND DATE). From there its on to Lake Tahoe for some lake fun (boat, bbq, etc.) at our buddy's house. I haven't been to Tahoe since I was a wee toddler so I'm looking forward to seeing it once again. I think overall, hanging out with my buddies in an RV should be a good time. I'll let you know how it goes. Thank god I recently bought a 1GB card for my camera...I'm pretty sure I can take 1024 pictures of the inside of an RV.
Question of the day:
This all makes me wonder...when and where was the FIRST bachelor party? Who started this tradition? Maybe strippers invented it much like Hallmark invented Valentine's day.

Et Tu Simpson's?
From the episode "Home Away from Homer" (5/15/05)
[While leaving a theater bored after viewing a foreign film with Lisa]
BART: I was so bored I cut the ponytail off the guy sitting in front of us. Look at me, I'm a grad student. I'm 30 years old and I made $600 last year.
MARGE: Bart, don't make fun of grad students. They just made a terrible life choice.
:( I mean, I started realizing that for myself about 3 years ago but it hurts when THE show you admire reminds you that your life sucks. I guess I'll be spending my Sundays at 8pm watching Extreme Home Makeover. Ty wouldn never hurt my feelings. (Oh, and FYI, I don't have a pony tail)
