When you never delete anything…

May 7th, 2012

So I just watched Mad Men and about to go to bed, and instead of surfing the internet.  I surfed my hard drive rediscovering things from high school..Old essays, personal statements, and lab reports.

For example, what did I discover in the AP Chem folder….A file called: R data (for those that don’t know, I use a software program called R)  So I had to see what was in the R lab report.  It’s title:

RRRrrrrrrrrr you ready for some calculations me matey?

Yup.  Steve had the wit back in 2001.  I forgot Mr. Becker gave bonus points for titles.  Other gems:

Crucible – The Pottery on the Hot Seat

C u later Oxygenator

Watch those Calorimeters during the Holiday Season!

No wonder all the Ferros dropped off the face of the earth, Egypt is HOT

Also in this folder, campaign materials from my bid for Student Council President….

Mr. Rogers lost.  Hard to win a presidential election when you have close ties to a monarch like King Friday.

And who could forget about Senior Pictures…

There is another senior picture that was quite popular…but to prevent fantasy football rivals from having fodder, thats not going online.

If you are like me and never delete things from your hard drive, I highly recommend digging around.  It is a trip.


The Internet Tops Nashville

April 30th, 2012

For the last two years, there has been a woman with a GMail address very similar to mine who struggles greatly at writing it down correctly.   Because of this, I have received everything from Happy Birthday messages to a newsletter for a senior citizen community in Florida.  For a while, I was receiving emails regarding quotes/estimates for how much it was to ship a car from Balitmore to Denver.

So I today received an email:

Thank you for ordering Cabela’s Inc. – 00210942816 (>CBGL514187<)

Inside, it said:

Thank you for your recent order. We appreciate your shopping at Cabelas.com and hope that you had an enjoyable shopping experience. You will receive another e-mail at the time your order ships.

I had never heard of Cabelas.com…so what did “I” buy? Click and find out.

In the last 24 hours…

Two Nashville sightings…

  1. Go to the library.  There is a pickup truck on display in the lobby.
  2. Go to National Tire and Battery for an oil change.  Another customer demands to keep his old tires, as they work well to help burn his brush.

Amazon the Adviser

April 22nd, 2012

Sat down to do data work…but first visited Amazon.com….and these are the book recommendations I got.

To blow them up some…

Well…thats not encouraging….Why is it stupid?

Okay. I have to do some other things…

Got it…Write a lot…But I am really slow at doing that.

12 weeks? No way I can do that! What’s wrong with me?!

…I guess I should get back to that data work.

[EDIT] Quick Update!

Okay…Still not doing data work. But, it is pretty cool to use Google Analytics to see web traffic.

The above map are my visitors (all 4) in the minute after I posted to Facebook. Who is out there in Princeton? And is it Lindsey or Rich out in Denver?

For reference, here yesterday’s Billikens.com map…from Australia
