we went up north last weekend for a wedding. radio generally sucks but it’s more entertaining the further you get into the sticks. my grandfather claimed that he could pick up AM760 in arizona while he was on his yearly cruises out west. i wasn’t ever sure if he was bullshitting or not.

however, we picked up stations from california, kentucky, illinois, pittsburgh, philadelphia, boston, new york city, iowa, and ohio.

AM radio is fun.

for those who like to move their money around.. http://www.mymoneyblog.com/archives/2006/01/rate_chaser_cal.html

moving from an account with 5.05% interest to an account with 5.15% interest and 3 days of transaction “loss” would mean it’d take 151 days to recover from that loss.

jeff pointed out that MPcon, a lan we’re involved with, made it to u of m dearborn’s front page news article. in the news article is a picture that i took. yay!

the image they chose still contains the EXIF data which still includes a link to my site. they didn’t strip it out.

dd-wrt sp2 is out. i upgraded. web-management interface didn’t work for me. if your router is like mine, you will have to hard-reset after the firmware upgrade. docs don’t indicate it but that’s what i had to do (yet)

i saw a commercial or four about a new lego starwars game this week. it looked very entertaining.

looks aren’t decieving at all! this game is awesome!

i had a chance to play it tonight with a friend, a fun 2-player set up.

it’s now possible to put aftermarket firmware on the newer (v5/v6) linksys wrt54g routers. here’s the howto.

pdf/presentation of advice for job seekers. 47 pgs. examples are IT but applicable anywhere

here’s the five-minute version.

i have a character in WoW named Prolapserage. I got yelled at yesterday for it.

i’m generally not against apple’s macintosh. the richteous owners sometimes piss me off. apple should have stuck w/ the “think different” marketing scheme, the new mac commercials w/ john hodgeman are horrible and inaccurate.

although, VH1 made a good parody of this new mac ad campaign…
