Russell: So how’s the car running?
Dean: Oh about the same. it goes when I press the gas and stops when I press the brake.
Russell: Good enough for getting you where you want to go anyway.
Dean: Yeah except I never want to go anywhere so it’s more of a taxi service. Dean’s Yellow Cab.
Russell: Paint the car yellow and stick a lamp on top?
Dean: No, I just drive Steph (asian) around.

My iMac overheated in its sleep awhile ago. I took it apart and stuck it out in the cold for awhile and that seemed to fix things. The bits that are supposed to be bloated and bad (those two capacitors in the last image) if this is a really bad panic now type thing are fine. I’d be more nervous about unexplained overheating if I didn’t know I was going to pawn this thing off in a few months when they do the chip switch. It’s fancy on the inside. Photos for your amusement.

[image:413:l] So for the mac people out there, here’s a handy little thing I just discovered. If you’re in a cocoa Application (Safari, Mail, etc.) and you hit Command+Control+D and then mouse over a word, You get a nice little dictionary/thesaurus popup.

[thumb:410:l] I saw a snowy owl on a telephone pole when I was taking Vanessa to Singing lessons, I took a picture. It flew away before I had a chance to put my binoculars up to the lens of my camera and get a good close up shot. (don’t knock it if it works) Big beautiful bird with fuzzy feet. I like owls. Owls are neat. Also, I almost hit a deer on the way back, too many ungulates on the road to tofield. Dave thinks there’s an uprising. An ungulate uprising.

[thumb:404:r] Here’s my new site loaded on Stan’s PSP. I made the switch to CSS and I’m kindof regretting it. Back in the olden days of yesteryear, In tables, the menu item icons would have linewrapped down so that the site was still usable. but in CSS the sidebar obfuscates the Gallery Icon. oh well.

[thumb:403:l]So I misplaced my wacom stylus.

Can you find it?

keeeep loooking.

there it is!

[thumb:402:r]Imagine you slam on the breaks. Imagine that instant juuuust before the car rocks back from the point of stopping. In that exact moment of time, I ran into a moose with my car. I think he’s alright cause he just hopped back up minus the fur bits I saw blowing down the darkened road and he sauntered off. The car lost the orange plastic bit over it’s signal light. Hooray for not being dead! Poor moose. What GIVES with all the animals around right now? A month ago it was tough to go anywhere without slaloming between dead and living porcupines. This month, it’s, keep your nose pressed to the windshield month because there are deer absolutely everywhere. Now I see what might be the first moose I’ve ever seen in the vegreville area–though I knew they were around, I’d never actually seen one–aaand I run into it. whee. So, anyway, I kinda knocked his back feet out from under him in much the same fashion as a dude falling over after you kick him in the back of the knee. now you know. The moral of this story is that I have to go to wrecker and find that orange bit of plastic.

What? That’s totally a moral. I swear. You suck.
