Three days ago I coughed up 20 bucks (with Tax included) for a 2GB xD memory card for the Official Camera from eBay. Believe it or not, I got it today, quickly formatted it, and lo and behold! That really IS the number of full-res JPEG photos I can store on this card.
OK, I then decided to turn on the CCD-RAW setting. Result: 185 photos. Holy Fujichrome, Batman! (That’s right, Chum)
And if I want to shoot 640x480 30fps video? I can...for 58 minutes, 41 seconds. Dang! That’s a one-hour TV “special” and then some. I think I’ll go have some fun with this card this weekend! 

Can Wednesdays be BLAHHHH? In a word, yes. I’m opening up the floor for discussion. This thread will remain open for seven (7) days.

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month...All gave some, some gave all.

And don’t forget, so did fellow Men and Women in the Commonwealth. They also fought for Freedom. That’s what makes us a Band of Brothers.

AMERICA’S ANSWER

Rest ye in peace, ye Flanders dead.
The fight that ye so bravely led
We’ve taken up. And we will keep
True faith with you who lie asleep
With each a cross to mark his bed,
In Flanders fields.
Fear not that ye have died for naught.
The torch ye threw to us we caught.
Ten million hands will hold it high,
And Freedom’s light shall never die!
We’ve learned the lesson that ye taught
In Flanders fields.

GASP!

I think it’s pretty clear-cut, don’t you agree?

Still considered the MSM’s media darling for Communism, almost seventeen years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the 77-year-old Mikhail Sergeyevitch calls on President-Elect Obama to carry out perestroika in the United States.
Has Mr. Gorbachev missed the conversation Obama had with Joe the Plumber? Is he not aware that Obama wants to “spread the wealth around?” I’ll bet he’s counting on the President-Elect to make good on his promise to use Executive Orders to circumvent any problems he may have with Congress. We’ll see how far he goes on that one.

That’s the German name for the United States Marine Corps which was born on this date in 1775. Their traditions carry through over the years to this day. Not only are they the Devil Dogs, they are also the Jarheads, the Leathernecks, whose a**es ride in Navy equipment safely. They are Always Faithful FOR US. That’s why I’m always thankful to the Marines.
If the Army and Air Force ever gaze on Heaven’s scenes, they will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines. OOO-RAH!

I got bit by a hoax six months ago...and apparently, The Guardian (in the UK) apparently didn’t get the message. They’re reporting that Hyperion has licensed micro-reactor technology from Los Alamos:

Let’s assume for a moment that this technology is real. Wouldn’t this create a bureaucratic nightmare if/when hundreds, if not thousands, of small towns who want to obtain energy independence apply for licenses to operate them? Or is that included in the $25-$30 million price? And we can’t leave the environmentalists who will go apes**t. Yes, all things being equal, this will keep the lawyers happy.

Now here’s a parody of a parody:

If Parker & Hart were around, I’m sure they’d be OK with this.

As far as BSG boards go, I really enjoy Pegasus Actual. Only for the last few days...and every so often, it redirects to the following message over at GoDaddy.com:

Which is why I’m not including a link here. When I see this sign I think one of two things: 1) They’ve exceeded their bandwidth, or 2) They haven’t paid their bill. If it’s #2, I wonder why they have such troubles.

This week’s video is the sequel to Genesis II, titled Planet Earth. John Saxon stars as Dylan Hunt, and Ted Cassidy still kicks a**. Yep, still penned by a liberal ("Let the savage pray” comes to mind). Also not available on DVD.

Dang. I was a bit stressed last night...to the point where I still didn’t want to go to bed, so I wrote a couple of letters, then instead of going to the Post Office in the daytime, I went out at 0130! After I dropped those off, I found myself at Denny’s!
At 0200!
Don’t ask me why, but this Hooburrito was very delicious. And I did this in the wee hours of the morning. Wish I didn’t have to do it alone.
Sigh....

Yep, it’s Saturday....

The Obama Administration will call on Americans to serve in order to meet the nation’s challenges. President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in underserved schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps. Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year. Obama will encourage retiring Americans to serve by improving programs available for individuals over age 55, while at the same time promoting youth programs such as Youth Build and Head Start.

How much more stuff is he gonna change before his inauguration, hmmmm? Off to a great start!

I’m 48 today. Aside from this announcement, no posts today. God, I need a drink.

Wait till you hear this piece of s**t Rap “song” and read the lyrics. It’s called “My President Is Black” and it paints a real pretty picture of the healing which is supposed to be taking place in the wake of the election of BHO.
NOT. All I hear is anger, anger, and more anger against Whitey and gratuitous use of the N word. Keep it up for the four years, liberals, and you’ll have an extremely pissed-off American electorate who will judge you by the content of your character.
