Best of luck Ken!

I didn't know you fantasized about being a pimp bear Brent. Better start growing that beard.

DayQuil, slept, NyQuil.

Feel better Grahame.

Thanks to everybody for your good wishes. I heard back today and, unfortunately, the team didn't consider me a good fit for the position.

So the bad news is that money will remain tight. The good news is that I still have lots of time to do things.

Argh. Sorry about the job, Ken.

Sorry Ken. I hope another opportunity presents itself soon.

Sorry to hear that Ken.

A little excitement here this morning. Sitting at my desk and watch 13 police cars from different agencies with lights & sirens on speeding single file past our office. Turns out they were chasing bank robbers.

Seems the robbers took money from a local bank and locked the employees in the vault. The robbers rode away from the bank on a bicycle. The money had a tracking device and it seems our brainiacs were using a Budget rental truck as the get away vehicle. Apparently money was tossed from the truck along with their disguises. Police eventually were successful in blowing two of the tires and arresting the men.

Y'all may be used to this in New York, LA or Chicago, but we just don't have this kind of excitement round here.

Pretty exciting, Al! Did you trail behind them and pick up some cash?

Sorry Ken.

Those bank robbers sound really stupid.

Since the money was dumped over a 1/2 mile stretch of road some folks from the office talked about it. Guess they had officers and FBI out collecting the dough from the public.

How are you with a hammer Ken?

It's my favorite tool. I use one to fix everything.

What I have been doing for most of today and frankly more or less continually since Saturday is preparing for a three hour live webcast that I'm doing night from 7-10PM Eastern. I've been banging my head against Traktor, carefully beatgridding 100 or so tracks, of which I will probably play 1/3 to 1/2. I'm stessing over it, but I think objectively I'm in pretty good shape.

Well if you feel you may need to round out your repertoire with some Serbian accordion music or Chechnya tribal yodeling tracks just pm me. I have em in high rez too!

DayQuil. Work. NyQuil. Also observed others devour a 1Kg tin of Cadbury Roses chocolates I bought back in far less time than I expected.

Drove by the beach where this happened yesterday.

There were lots of surfers out in the bay as usual. Braver than I am with this sort of thing going on just a half mile away at Seal Island.

There's a lot of unregulated cage diving going on with the Great Whites in False Bay and the worry is they are being habituated to associate humans with food, as the dive operators chum heavily. The way they nailed this poor guy pretty much as soon as he got in the water is bloody scary.

Well at least now we know why your sex life isn't working.

Stretch, that would be an amazing thing to watch in person. Fascinating!

Yikes! What happened? Good luck.

This morning I fixed my Keurig coffee maker. I feel triumphant.

OK, I'll ask. How do you fix a Keurig coffee maker?

with a hammer, duh

Basically, I had to stick a paper clip in its urethra. I don't know how else to explain it.
