Thank you, Eric.

Mama, don't let your babies grow up to be [sex-loving porn-viewing software-pirating genius-hackers]....

And even if they aren't we're just assume that they are, so that your kid won't grow up to be a porn star!

Mammmaaaa.... don't let your babies grow up to be.... trusted.

Disabled man freezes to death

I was talking to Mike DeMan (another new co-worker) yesterday about the relative lack of homeless people in Edmonton as opposed to say, San Francisco. I mentioned that one reason there aren't as many homeless is they can't survive the winters... if they stay outside they freeze to death.

And then just now I see this story:

I hate to be right like that.

Blues club in an old Amtrak station

Fabien Roy (a new co-worker and friend of former NetStruxr co-worker Jean Drolet) and I went to a blues club (with an open mic) in San Juan Capistrano last night. Fabien's a kickass blues guitarist, it was a treat to hear him play. There were a number of great musicians there last night, and one who'd had too much to drink and didn't feel like leaving the stage.

Just before midnight, these two teenage kids go onto the stage... a 14 year old asian boy with a black electric guitar and a 15 year old long-haired bleached-blonde kid (the grandson of the waitress) behind the drums. Man, did they rock. I couldn't believe what I was hearing out of that kid's guitar. He was playing various riffs and parts of different Metallica songs, and even some classic James Bond theme stuff, as well as, get this, some NES Super Mario Bros. soundtrack. LOL! After listening to blues and classic rock for over 3 hours I really appreciated some metal.

As someone who has seen first hand how Alzheimer's disease ravages a person into oblivion, I can't see how it's a bad thing this child will never have that horrible affliction.
