With all the excitement of my car spewing gas and all, I almost missed finding out that Mac OS X 10.4 is shipping at the end of the month! With over 200 new features, I’m all excited. More details later, as I don’t have time now.
While at Target the other day my wife came across Norwegian Jake’s Backpack Lunches and these things are sweet. In one package you get two wraps complete with mayo, cheese, meet, and mustard. You also get a mini water, spoon, napkin, moist towelette and a candy bar. Everything is individually wrapped and you build it yourself. Then you can eat it cold or microwave it for a few seconds and then enjoy. It’s great because it’s all in one handy container and perfect for lunch. 
I’ve been going nuts trying to find a way to stop, or block, referrer spam. And I’m having success! Referrer Karma does the trick. I had issues with it at first because I also had referrer bouncer enabled and they were not working well together. Now I just have referrer karma and the referrer spam is getting a forbidden error when trying to access my site. 
Hopefully they’ll soon learn not to send spam here. The only down side is the referrers still get stuck in my stats. Oh well, one battle at a time.

It’s sad but it’s true. Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster has to change his song so he doesn’t make kids fat. His “C is for cookie” song has been replaced with “A Cookie Is a Sometimes Food.” How lame. I find it very sad that Cookie Monster has to change his tune and I think people are blaming all the wrong things for their kids becoming un-healthy. News story from KSTP.

I’ve decided that blogs are becoming like email. Everyone is giving out free accounts and it seems like there is always a new feature at one that another doesn’t have. So I end up having many different blogs where I play for a while and then forget about. I’ve tried Blogger, TypePad, WordPress, some SEO Blog, Yahoo 360 and SpyMac for blogging. The only one I haven’t tried is MSN Spaces. Personally I like my WordPress the most. Not having to rely on another site’s services works best for me. Granted that means that if anything goes wrong, I have to fix it. But, the freedom and flexibility of running a blog on my own site is the best option for me.
The Muppets are back in a new TV movie. The Muppets Wizard of Oz will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival before airing on ABC Friday, May 20, 2005 at 8:00 pm EST . The whole Muppet gang will be there with Fozzy as the Lion, Gonzo as the Tin Man and Kermit as the Scarecrow. I think Ms. Piggy is the wicked witch and I’m not sue what roll Pepe and Rizzo play but they may replace the dog. More details over at Muppet Central.

For my birthday last week my wife made me a cat birthday cake. She did a fabulous job so I had to post the picture. Check it out.
Google just released Satellite search that goes along with Google maps! What does this mean? It means that instead of lines that represent roads, you can now see actually roads, buildings and trees. Checkout the screen shot of Hopkins Minnesota
Google acquired this technology when they bought Keyhole Satellite imaging software not long ago. It’s amazing to see them add it into Google maps!
This daylight savings time thing really screws with a persons head. I’m so tired this morning and I think it’s just because it was dark out when I got up. I really wish we could just leave it one way or the other, but I suppose they both have their benefits. It’ll probably be a good week until I’m re-adjusted though.
