Best fart joke ever

0 comments
As I was watching DVRed copy of Big Bang Theory tonight, I have heard the best fart joke ever

Penny: Let's see. Milk chocolate, cheese,fondue. My lactose-intolerant boyfriend is going to eat all that, then I am going to climb his back and rocket to the moon.

What's in a jukebox

I've never really listened to David Bowe, but there is one song that connects with me somehow. I think I actually first heard it in a commercial about 7-8 years ago. I think in a 7Up commercial.

Here is Space Oddity

can't embed it from youtube.

Weekly posting

I have been super busy with work and school these couple of weeks. I think the Innovation and Risk class has wrung me out more than any other (that includes Accounting and Finance).

The paper is done. For some stupid reason I did not ask for help on the budgets from people who are close to me and know a lot of stuff about budgeting and feasibility until almost the last moment. I think my brain was fried or something.

The only thing that is left is the Disruptive innovation presentation. What my team and I decided to do is to create an online service for aspiring movie makers, basically trying to change the way that independent films are made and distributed. If it ever comes to anything remember, you heard it here first.

Oh, yeah.

Lots already has been written about this years Superbowl. One thing to mention is that I really really wanted to see Favre against Manning. Two super QBs. I have nothing agains Brees, he's having a season of a lifetime, and what he did for Saints is simply amazing. Still, one season against the careers of Favre and Manning, both absolute future Hall of Famers.

A New Gadget?

1 comments
Once a year, after my birthday I buy myself a gadget. This time around I thought it would be a laptop. But after looking around my office at home, I realized that I don't need a laptop. I still have my PC and I like it. What comes next? I've been a little jealous of my wife's Sony PRS 505, which I gave her as a present (never presented her with a gadget before). So I was thinking maybe getting an eReader myself.

I started reading a looking around, still can't decide if I want a Sony or a Kindle. Both of them have features that I would like to have.

Then I remebered that couple of months ago I read about a device being prepared by ASUS or Google. I can't find it anywhere anymore, but the device would be a dual screen, one eInk for reading the other a small color display for surfing.

I just found it enTourage eDGe. That's what I need and want actually. But these toys are not available until March. Then lo and behold, I have accidentely read about the iSlate from Apple. And that have planted a worm in my head. It's supposed to come out next week or something.

Is it true? Can Konstantin finally succumb to Apple's devious schemes?

Or, by the way, since we are on the point of gadgetery. My Birthday gift from The Awesome Wife is ariving soon. It's a Kodak flip cam Zi8.

This week is full of 5 Year Old zingers.

- Daddy, Mama needs to learn how to knit. She'll be a grandmother. Grandmother's knit.

- I ate my lunch today. I am helping everybody. I am being good. And why I am doing that?

This one is Russian, so I beg pardon of my English speaking audience:

- Я загадала животное. Влюблюд!

A ride on the L

Yesterday I did something I haven't done in at least 5 years. I took The L. For the office party we were having int he loop I took the blue line from Cumberland to Clark and Lake.

I had a book with me, and you know something, I think I miss being able to read a book while the train takes you where you need to go.
