Last night’s entertainment was How the Grinch Stole Christmas. It was fun to see on the big screen, but I still prefer the animated short. Jim Carrey was the best part of the whole movie – which is saying a lot since I usually don’t go for the Ace Ventura stuff. Tomorrow I am off to Phoenix to spend some quality time with the family.…
November 22, 2000Man, domain moves are a pain. I spent a good chunk of my non-working hours today trying to move Concorde Travel Management to its new server. It’s not just the HTML folks, its all them CGI forms and E-mail accounts as well. Oy. I also had some dental work done today. It continually amazes me the advance in dental procedures that have taken place in…
November 21, 2000The majority of the weekend was spent watching the supplemental material on my Fantasia Anthology DVD. I really think that Classic Fantasia got the short end of the stick. It seems like they rushed to put it out with Fantasia 2000. The supplements for each section pale in comparison to those for Fantasia 2000. However, the presence of Walt Disney (via some old footage from…
November 20, 2000It is amazing what a turnaround that Jack-In-The-Box has done since the mid ’80’s horsemeat scandals. Ever since they got the new commercial campaign in the early ’90’s they have been on a roll. One of the most inspired things they have done was creating the Meaty Cheesy Boys last year. This fall, they re-launched the site for the 1.99 Ultimate Cheeseburger promotion. Just the…
November 17, 2000Network Time Wasters: Dack got a link in his Inbox from Andy Baio, a fan of the site AmIHotOrNot who was disappointed by the inability to get ratings and created: AmIHotOrNot broken down by subjects’ scores titled Are They Hot or Not. Simply staggering that people accuse me of having too much free time. In ClubJosh news, a mobile site is up and running, although…
November 16, 2000Here in Los Angeles County, every place that sells food-related items is rated by the County of Los Angeles Department of Health Services – Environmental HealthThe ratings range from “A” to “C” and those that fall below 70% are not rated. I never realized that the list was published on the web. Last night, I was walking past Rite Aid and it was rated a…
November 15, 2000Dan passed around a link to a map of the vote for president by county (thanks to Megnut for having a link to a more detailed version). What I really find fascinating is the correlation between Voters for Gore and the frequencies of natural disasters. Draw what conclusions you want to, but I think it is a darn good masters thesis. I wonder what George…
November 14, 2000Well my grandmother has narrowed her car selections to the Acura 3.2TL, BMW 330Ci, Cadillac (anything with night vision), or the Lexus ES300. We saw all of them at the Auto Show. Not quite as good as Edmunds Live! where you can drive the cars, but still a good time. Also made another trip to Disneyland to see the new fireworks and snow effect. Everyone…
November 13, 2000Through some miraculous fold in the space-time continuum, I have added the Walt Disney World Trip Diaries to the PDA site. Just giving more credibility to those who say I have too much free time. Day Three – America Held Hostage. We still have no idea who is going to be the next president, but Dan passes on a link to the Washington Post article…
November 10, 2000One medium size Condo building in South Florida is all that separates Bush and Gore. One wonders how history will recall this election, and more than that, only a good leader will be able to be an effective president with this close of an election. I have updated the PDA site to include a better version of the Daily Update archives as well as the…
