My daughter asked me the other day about Indiana Jones. She must have seen an ad or something. I told her it was a series of movies about an archeologist adventurer. She asked how many. I said that no matter what anyone said, there were only three of them. And none of them had anything to do with aliens.

Funny dream the other night
In the dream I had a few GREAT ideas, so, naturally, I wrote them down. When I have ideas in a dream and write them down, I find that about 75% of the time the ideas don’t make any sense in the full light of day.
I’ve heard that keeping a dream log helps with lucid dreaming. I’ve also heard that jotting down ideas helps one keep new ideas flowing. I’m in the habit of carrying a pen and small pad of paper at just about all times. Most outgoing e-mails from my phone consist of little notes to myself – half-baked ideas and whatnot.
This particular incident the other night was an amusing combination of the two – jotting down dreams and jotting down ideas.
Except, I jotted down my great ideas in my notebook in my dream. When I woke up I had no recollection of the ideas themselves, just that they were good enough to have written down.
Well, I thought it was funny anyhow. :)
Not what I expected at all
I’ve never had to use crutches before. I had always thought using crutches would be kind of like a super power – being able to swing forward and out. I thought it might feel like being a money-man or perhaps a short giraffe.
For anyone who is wondering, it’s not like that at all. It’s a lot more like being hobbled.
Nothing personal
Actually, maybe it is.
I just went through my Facebook account and unfriended about a dozen people.
But, not because we’re not friends – it’s because we are. If we’re friends and you and I talk outside Facebook, there’s no need for Facebook, and I have now unfriended you.

I take it all back – Mad Men ain’t half bad
Several years ago I watched the first three episodes of Mad Men, decided it was crap, and never watched it again.
Tonight I tried watching the fourth episode. It was a lot better.
Also, if you haven’t seen it, this is very funny.
Wow… the internet just became a friendlier place!
Per Whosawhasis’s suggestion, I installed AdBlock in my FireFox browser. I also installed a Facebook tracking blocker, since Facebook was really creeping me out. In this short time, it really feels like the internet just became a friendlier place.
Awesome. Thanks Whosa!
Default Series TitleGoogle, why you so creepy?
This is actually my second post with the same subject/topic/title. :/
As a joke I did a google search for “cell phone for elderly” because a friend of mine has this ridiculous habit of taking pictures with his iPhone UPSIDE down. Sure, it’s easy enough to turn it back upside right – but wouldn’t it just make more sense to simply hold the phone correctly in the first place?
Anyhow, now all the google ads I see are for cell phones for the elderly. Great.
Default Series TitleOkay, that was a bad idea…
I missed out on several episodes of The Walking Dead when the second half of season two returned in mid-February. Since AMC was going to re-air season two episodes before last night’s season finale, I figured I’d just wait until the marathon was mostly over and watch everything, including the finale, without commercials. The second half of season two was great with all the scares and drama I’d come to expect.
I’m just not sure it was worth an entire nighttime of dreams about trying to surviving the zombie apocalypse. Lemme tell you, I coulda used a commercial break a few times.
PageRank: Zowie!
I use a FireFox extension that tells me the Google PageRank, Alexa rank, and Complete ranks in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. What I noticed today is that my main page has a PageRank of 3, but that one page on this site has a PageRank of 6!
What the heck?!
