saramcpherson:
1. Go to therapy 2. Mop floors 3. Post x-ray of cat torso on blog 4. Appreciate footie pajamas
Thank you Tumblr for making me feel better about being home with absolutely nothing to do (except watch my Netflix rental, “Beerfest”) and run the auto-clean setting on my oven for the first time.

Journals/Blogs/Tumblogs/ohmy!
I <3 finding a new blog to follow. It’s like coming across a TV show you’ve never watched before that’s in the middle of a network marathon. After you finish the first episode you decide to stick around for one more because you want to see what happens. Next thing you know, it’s two hours later and your ass is sore.
The truly great thing about blogs is...
Google
I’m watching Modern Marvels: “90’s Tech” and one statistic they mentioned about Google blew my mind:
At the end of 1998, Google was serving roughly 10,000 searches a day. Two years later that number had reached 100,000,000.
Dare
I was dared to eat the rainbow-colored piece of candy in the bowl on the front desk today. I immediately regretted taking this dare.
Bathroom
Sometimes people knock on the bathroom door here at work—as if they need to make sure it’s actually occupied. I’m not sure why they think the two or three times a year someone leaves the lights on and shuts the door behind them after exiting is an epidemic. It’s usually pretty safe to assume that door shut + lights on = in use.
Whenever they knock, I always answer with...

Accented letters in OS X
Example 1: To input the letter ó, hold down the Option key, then the E key. Release both keys then type lowercase o.
Example 2: To input the letter Ó, hold down the Option key, then the E key. Release both keys then type capital O.
Dream
I had a dream last night that I was participating in a competition similar to the Super Mario Brothers 3 one in “The Wizard.” The only difference was that instead of playing SM3, you were given a random object and had to be the first to identify the specified information about it using Google. I was just as good as the kid in the movie, though.
Browns
Q. How do you keep the Cleveland Browns out of your yard? A. Put up a goal post.
Q. How many Cleveland Browns does it take to win a Super Bowl? A. Nobody knows and we may never find out!
Q. What do you call 47 millionaires sitting around a TV watching the Super Bowl? A. The Cleveland Browns
Dear Orange Juice:
I’m sorry that I didn’t really have a taste for you until high school. I’ll make up for it, though, by drinking larger-than-average amounts for the next 16 years.
I miss snow days
“SNOW… HEAVY AT TIMES WILL FALL TONIGHT AND INTO THE AT LEAST THE FIRST HALF OF WEDNESDAY AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY. SNOW IS EXPECTED TO BE THE HEAVIEST AROUND DAYBREAK WEDNESDAY. BY THE TIME THE SNOW TAPERS OFF WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON MOST OF THE REGION SHOULD SEE 8 TO 11 INCHES OF NEW SNOW ACCUMULATION.”
Google me
When you Google my name, my Facebook profile is the second item that comes up. That officially makes me the second greatest person with my name in the world.
Frustration
Today was a very frustrating day at work.
Our company has partial ownership in a marina located in Marblehead, OH. The bookkeeping and non-day-to-day management has been handled by the same woman for the past roughly twenty years. Beginning this year, however, we are taking over those responsibilities. Last week I received boxes full of last year’s paid bills, outstanding invoices,...

Digg. dang. dunn.
I’ve had my suspicions for a little while now, but if it hadn’t happened yet, Digg jumped the shark this past week. In a period of less than 7 days I saw three separate Top Items that were literally screen captures of a thread on 4chan. I know people have accused Rose’s site of being a regurgitation point for good stuff off of other sites in the past; how do you argue against...
Dispatch - “The General”
Oldie? Yes....

Perhaps the greatest example of an HD-exclusive channel I have ever seen. I think my TiVo has recorded 15 hours of material from it in the 48 hours or so I have had the box hooked up.
Technology laziness
Putz made a comment in a recent entry about BeyondTV being better than TiVo. At first I wanted to make a reply about how much I disagreed. I wanted to argue the merits of TiVo and why it’s worth the upfront cost, monthly subscription fee, etc. I’ve been a subscriber for three and a half years now and speak very highly about it. I only have one other friend who uses the service and...
