Okay, so I Google up “Duck tshirt” for Clara, and here’s the #2 link:

Give it a few seconds if you’re on dialup.
I had my speakers turned up a little cuz I was previewing the Sun Tzu Art of War audiobook for a minute there.
Sometimes I think Google’s just messing with us.
Is this the sort of thing you wanna see every day on your way to work for the largest video game producer in the WORLD?
I know, I know. It’s not our fault. The city’s on a bender about these goofy art-auction whales all over the place. It’s not just that we have one, but that we have this one.
Big blue weather balloon with a “No – EA” logo on it (it was stolen from our parking lot at BC Place when we had our family day, altered, and then hung from a light post outside the 250 Howe location) is outside our door for about two hours before it gets yanked, but hyper-happy Retardo Mantoban WHALE can be there all summer.
*sigh*
Couldn’t we have at least gotten a COOL one?
Good ol Engrish.com is still up, and I found this duck reference that I just had to share. Mostly for Clara and her thing about ducks.
This man is insane
Some of the best photographs of whacko sky activity I’ve ever seen in my life.
There were video clips at some point, but then they got mentioned on Fark and all bets were off.
EA has announced that they’ve formed a “strategic partnership” with Farcry’s development group, Crytek. In other news today, Ubisoft pulls Farcry patch 1.2… Is Ubi getting tired of watching their development teams get gutted yet?
Want a KVM switch that’s K/M, but not V? Multiple monitors on multiple computers usually means multiple keyboards and mice, even if all the monitors are lined up in a row. Not any more.
Synergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems without special hardware. It’s intended for users with multiple computers on their desk since each system uses its own display.
You just kinda mouse off one side of the screen onto the next computer.
I’m on a business trip to Redmond. Microsoft, that is. I’m pretty sure it’s the first one I’ve ever had in my life. Or is it more of a Junket? I’m doing some stuff for this.
Took a little tiny flight from Vancouver to Seattle. The process of getting through the airport and into the air took longer than the flight. I’m here now though. Not looking forward to going back. I’ve got a headache that a cup of coffee and (hey!) some yummy chicken fingers hasn’t killed off.
I’ve been running around the room with my little camera, and I’ve come to either/both of two conclusions:
1. The camera’s broken.
2. My Nose is crooked.
I took a schwack of photos, and they’re all either off to one side, or too low. Makes it kinda difficult to show Arwen (or you, dear reader) what the place looks like. Although, mostly she’ll probably just want the little soaps from here, and won’t really care what the place looks like.
Okay, my head hurts, and this chair is a weird combination of squishy, too low, and too rock-back-and-forthy.
Listen to me, Mr. Elitist “doesn’t like his chair.” Oh sure, fly me here, feed me, and put me up for two nights, but this CHAIR is a problem. I should be a SOUND ENGINEER with an attitude like that.

B – Born on what day of the week? Wednesday
C – Chore you hate? Dishes right *before* I start on ’em.
D – Disney character? Rafiki from Lion King (“Why’d you hit me?” “Doesn’t matter, it’s in the past!”)
E – Essential makeup item(s)? A woman who wants to put it on. ‘Cept for my Braveheart Hallowe’en makeup, that kicked ASS.
F – Favorite actor? Jeanine Garafalo: she could read from the phone book and I’d watch. The Cusacks sibs and Walken triple-tie for second.
G – Gold or silver? Gold. I like the look of silver, but prefer the weight of gold.
H – Hometown? Chilliwack. Gee-cri…

N – Number of people you’ve slept with? Um, 13, I think.
O – Overnight hospital stays? About three (hernia as a wee one, mono at 9, birth of Ripley)

Q – Quote you like? The entire spoken word piece “Religion” by Lord Buckley. That, and “You can’t go… all the plants are gonna die!” by Bill Murray. I was going to say: “Writing about art is like dancing about architecture,” by Steve Martin but then I couldn’t remember how to spell architecture, choked, and deleted it.
R – Religious affiliation? I’m no affiliate. Maybe a repeater station.
S – Siblings? One Half-Bro. I’ve got a whole freakin’ *shrub* of steps.

V – Vegetable you refuse to eat? Raw onions.
W – Worst food? Liver. Uni (sea urchin naughty bits in the alleged form of sushi).
