GO PITT!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Watching spy cams app while waiting for car. Who knew watching 24 hr cams of penguins in Japan would be interesting?

Watching a show now where they said that the average man, woman, and child, yes child, drank 6 times the average amount of beer the average adult drinks today. Beer turned dirty water into drinkable product, had antibiotics in it, and generally was good to give to people. Amazing if you think about it.

Cisco switching done. Wouldn't call myself an expert (hate catalyst switches), but I can build VLANs and Trunks and can mess with spanning tree if I need to. Tomorrow I write some ACLs to get back into the hang of things. Almost have my knowledge refreshed.

Just retaught myself about 1 year's worth of Cisco specific routing in about 60 minutes. Tomorrow it is Cisco specific switching. Then on to remembering how to set up crypto.

Got the "Call Nepal for just 11.9 cents/min!" ad again. They really want me to call them =)

Saw the Duckymomo episode of Phineas and Ferb today and made me think of this picture.

It's amazing what you start finding when you are cleaning... Wouldn't be surprised if I don't find the Ark of the Covenant or the Map to Atlantis shows up next. Crazy.

Well, just saw a commercial for a new remake of an old sport. Full contact jousting will be coming to National Geographic next week. Insane. I wonder if they are going to have sponsored horse skirts and armor? Go Red Bull/Microsoft knight!

Thanks to all the Vets out there who have served. Veteran's Day not only reminds us to celebrate our veterans, but also reminds us of the termination of one of the most brutal wars to ever hit humanity, WWI. Unfortunately, "the war to end all wars" didn't stop the conflict between nations. Hopefully in the next century, the idea to stop warfare will grab hold, and Veteran's day will be a holiday for old people instead of everyone, becoming an idea lost to time...

Happy birthday to all Marines! 236 years and still running strong!

Word from ESPN: Paterno fired. Graham Spanier resigned. Bradley will take over as head coach of the Nittany Lions.

What the hell!!?!?!?!???!?!?! Is Clinton seriously trying to get the 22nd Amendment repealed? What a pompous ass! If George Washington thought that two terms was enough for a US president to sit, who in the hell does Bill Clinton think he is, Vladimir Putin? Ridiculous. What's worse is I am watching supposed conservatives agree with this! Extending terms is one more step towards dictator for life. All one needs to do to see this is look at consul appointments for the end of the Roman Re...

Just wanted to let you know that I will probably not be able to attend on Saturday. My wife works this weekend and I probably will not be able to find someone to watch the kids. If things change though, I will let you know. I really do want to come up.

That ought to smell nice after a few hours!
