wow,

I really should have gotten the pex system on line last summer. 8^P Because right now its damm cold. Cold Cold Cold… I dont like it.. 8^P

Anyways, its that magical time of the year when I am thankfully not doing much work on the house. In a week or two I should pick up the sinck for the half bath from hell and be ready to call that finally finished for good. 8^) I could be doing the baseboards in the bedrooms and study, but hmm I am cold and dont feel like doing it. 8^) I have been spending lots of quality time with Adobe After Effects.. Great stuff you you are into video editing, so I like it.  I have also been spending even more time Pwning up N00bs on line playing Il2. 115 Kills in one month on my favorite server all while maintaining a posative kill death ratio.  8^) I also just saw Mike Judges latest movie “Idiocracy” If you get a chance see this movie if for any other reason just to piss Fox off.   8^)

Then there is the job hunting.. Wow, I am hatnig things where I am now.  I hate it a bit more every day. The day of truth looks to be March first when the new pwners take over and start messing this place up like the bunch of backwater hick ass noobs they really are.  Speaking of which I was on the phone with a recruiter ealier today, he asked why I would want to leave Milwaukee… I blurted out with “Because I cannot stand this backwater hick ass town any more” I am going to get a lot of mileage out of the words hick, backwater and ass for the next couple of days. Hopefully I find new job really soon. I was thinking that once I have it I will have a t-shirt made on the front it will say “suck muh ballz” on the back it will say “screw you guys, I quit” Once the new job is secured I wll probably be pretty busy here as then the break neck hard core make saleable finish up will start. There are a number of must do’s for a sale to work. Like the everything. 8^P Then I can start blogging about the new old house that will preferably not need major work of any kind. 8^) At least not any that is not strictly voluntary.

There was something else going in here… Ohh yea Global Warming.. We have some warm winter and suddenly everyone is freeking out about it. It seems like lots of folks are running around saying dooms day is approching when the evidence of that is kind of thin. I am not saying that something is happening when Its pretty clear that there is. At the same time I question the velocity and target of the currnet warming trend. The earth has been warmer before.  Heck, we weere comming out of a mini ice age when the temrature records started being kept. That was only 100 or so years ago. So, we really dont have much good data. Lots of indirect interpolated data, but lots of thermometer said this at noon in 1466 we do not have. Apparently during roman times england was a wine producer. They had a climate that allowed vinyards. That changed dramaticly at the end of the Roman empire with the weather changes that resulted from a volcano in the pacific rim exploding. Then made worse by the various mini ice ages that followed. This of course means that as far a modern written records go we have always lived on a cold planet. It could be there is a big old cosmic joke going on and the world is entering a warm cycle at the same time that we have done a great job of cerwing things up already. Could be that we are only accelerating the problem and are not the sole cause of it. Again, not saying that we need to have a hell of a lot more respect for the world around us. But we should also not just jump on the easy bandwagon of its all our fault as that prevents folks from asking the rest of the important questions. That menas we dont get all the answers and the whole truth. Science is about finding the truth, till we have all of it we should be encouraging the debate not trying to stop it.

Thats all for now
