The Death of Youthful Justin

Throw in the towel, Close up shop, send the steak back, kick the habit, drop the charges, lick the stick, punch the dick, its alllll over.  Youthful Justin has left the building, drowned in the water, gone the way of the dodo.

I have a grey hair.

Witness the end of Justing youth.  It means it time to grow up.  THAT SUCKS.  I will now allow time for you all to laugh at me and not with me.

Make sure to keep up with Grey Watch!


Lets Begin the Countdown…

Lets begin the countdown until VACATION andthe 4th of July!!! Only 3 days left until I am OUT OF HERE!!!  We are heading down to SML or Smith Mountain Lake for you that do not know.  We are going to be spending a nice long weekend relaxing, drinking, soaking, and working on the tans.  Then of course there is the “private” fireworks on the lake that Tom puts on.  You know what I might attempt while down there… So smokin of a pig!!  They have a smokeer, why not take advantage of it?  Just another hobby I want to include into my repeitar!


Propose Me This…

As most people know, I watch ALOT of TV.  And it just happens that I have Comcast for cable.  Since I am cheap, I only get basic cable, no HD, paid channels, digital or any crap like that.  So lately I have seen this new commercial from comcast.  It is marketing one of their newest services, Proposal Man at proposalman.com.

First, the quality of the commercial SUCKS, I could do better then this fucking commercial and I have no experience!  Then the concept SUCKS.. A guy proposing with a plate of peas that spells will you marry me… WTF!!!  If some one told me that is how they proposed, that would be grounds for an immediate ass kicking, just so you know.


Leapord…MEOW!1

My Desktop after Leopard UpgradeI have taken another HUGE step.  I have upgraded the 15PB to Leopard!  I little birdy yesterday dropped in my lap.  Normally when a brid drops something on me, I curse and make a stink about it, but not this time!  “A Friend” (figure out that movie reference!) let me barrow a CD yesterday that just happen to have some goodness on it.  At the end of the day I was running OSX Leopard, WHO KNEW THAT WOULD BE ON IT!  Anyways, first impressions… I LIKE IT. Hate the default background, but that is eaily changed as you can see in the phot left.

Interesting side note on the background shipped with Leopard.  Renee was watching me as I was change the background and made an interesting comment.  “Who, what a set of Vistas”, referenceing some of the “nature” shots in the default folder for Mac backgrounds.  Me thinks this be Apple’s trickery hinting at their compitions OS from Redmond!  Just something to think about.

Now, something else I am having a little trouble with is the grid and icon line up on the desktop.  I HATE SNAPPING TO GRID!!!  How do I turn this off?!?!?!  I like my desktop icons to be where I want them NOT all to the right.  Someone PLESASE help.

Next, the dock.  I remember reading about people not likeing the new dock and stuff like that when Leopard first came out, but I didn’t pay much attention to them.  Now I see what some people are talking about. It is a little difficult to see what programs are open, but have now windows open.  The is just a small glowing blue bubble under the icon in the dock, very hard to see at a glance.  I much prefered Tigers little black arrow, very easy to see at a glance!

So far, overall I am liking it.  Most of the things I am bitching about are easy to fix, I just haven’t figured out how to on some of them.  I’ll let you know what other things come up laters.


FireFox Down!

If you like a good browser experience, I would highly recommend downloading the latest version of FireFox.  I first downloaded it my PC (WORK PC!) and have really liked it.  Just today I finially got around to downloading it for my mac.  First thoughts… It visually looks similar to Safri meaning the brushed aluminum look.  Don’t get me wrong, i like it, but now it’s going to take me a moment to realize which browser I am actually in.  But if that is the biggest problem, then AWESOME.  I’ll let you know what I think after playing with it more.


My Pom Pom!!!

I was watching some TV, (like normal after work) waiting for the simpsons to come one when a Canon Camera Commercial came on. It was one of my favorite of the three made. It was the one with the pom pom posing for the camera and talking back to Maria Sherapova. It got me all excited, in less then a week, I get to see my favorite crazy Pom Pom Lexie!!!!!! I will make sure to get some photos and posiably a video or two to show off why I love her. make sure to check out the commercial on YouTube.


Starbucks to quit selling music?!

What is this? Starbucks is going to be getting out of the music business????  No longer are they going to be selling Cd’s or iTunes gift cards at any of their retail locations.  It turns out they are actually losing money trying to compete with digital music distributors such as iTunes and other online music outlets.  What did they expect???  Awhile ago, I thought that they were going to quite doing things like selling sandwiches and other crap like that so they can get back to their roots, selling coffee.  They need to focus on the coffee. maybe resreaching ways to make their $4 drinks CHEAPER!!!!


10 Commandments of Web Design

An interesting write up on what a web design shall and shall not due.  I took a quick look at it here.  I’ll have to look at it more closely tonight when time allows.


Do what your good at

I was popin around some of my favorite blogs and found this on daringfireball.net.  It’s an article on Davenetics blog about doing what your good at.  It’s mainly about What Yahoo needs to do in order to bet Google or at least compet with Google.  Read the full entry here.

Well the title and article got me thinking.  What am I good at and what do I need to do that?  Well, as some people know, my interest vary, but just something for me to think about.  I can think of some people that might read this that can use this title to think about it for themselves.
