The difference is why you drink
I stumbled onto this via stuffthatbugsme.com because of regan's post. Part of it was so good it inspired me to do a quick mock up.

Oh the monotony...

Yet another day, going through the motions for whatever reason...But on a happy note, it is Waitangi Day in New Zealand!

I'm shocked that this is the first post on HN about this. Links first, for those not informed: One, two, three. Or do a google/news site search for "boston ATHF" for more.

I won't comment much on the situation but a few points I found particularly interesting. The "devices" were up for 2-3 weeks before anyone noticed. Boston freaked out but New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, Portland, Austin, San Francisco, and Philladelphia didn't.

And a funny take on the situation here by Zebro.

I'm sure only a select few people with have any idea what I'm talking about but I'm excited. After screwing around with it for a few days I think I figured out my cronjob settings for HN like moblogging on Serendipity.
Too late but fun

I've started messing around with Serendipity in the past few days. It's a blogging tool like Wordpress. It's pretty fun.
Guy With A Cool Tie
this picture is owned by the submitter. contact submitter for permission before using it in any wayI posted this picture as part of my last entry but I felt it deserved it's own post. This was a picture at Uncommon Objects that was labeled "Guy With A Cool Tie."

It was just so random and great. But, alas, it was priced at about $40 and I couldn't think of anywhere I could hang it in my house so I didn't leave with it. So, if you're anywhere near Austin, and you dig it, feel free to scoop it up.

Hanging out with the wife's family on South Congress. This used to be the area of town that was known as the place to go to get youself a cheap hooker but in recent years has started shaping up.

There are quite a few shops along it now and, unfortunately, some people are starting to refer to South Congress as SoCo. Personally, I think SoCo sounds stupid, but that's just me.

It's a pretty good strip to check out though. If you like random items or antiques be sure to check out a store called Uncommon Objects.

I dropped my wife's Mini Cooper off for some service this morning. The were out of loaners so I got a free rental car. It's a little different from the Mini. It's already gotten the nickname of the Dodge Hearse at work...

It's not really my kind of car but it only has 92 miles on it and that nice new car smell.

My wife and I finally took the plunge and got a flat panel HDTV LCD TV. We didn't go crazy though. We settled on a 32inch Samsung. It's plenty big for our living room and is amazing.

I'm watching the San Antonio Spurs geting killed by the Houston Rockets in very high definition. I'm also switching back and forth between the game and my living room entertainment PC.

I love this TV. We even did what every says you do when you switch to HD, we sat for an hour and watched a nature show about the life of fig trees in Africa. We never watch shows like that but both of us were mesmerized.

Of course the SK3 camera can't come close to doing it justice but oh well.

We came down to my wife's aunt's beach house for the weekend. We knew the weather was going to be crappy, we're down here just to see her friends and relatives. There's a new baby in the family, we saw some hometown friends of my wife's, and are on our way to see the grandparents next...
