Whoa.

Executive Summary.

Track 4: Drum solo with a side of catchy pop song.

The two tracks on their home page aren’t bad either.

Maybe the riffs aren’t as similar as my brain wanted them to be this morning but the bass/synth line from the Weather Report song _River People_ just might be the influence for the music to world 1-2. Just might.

This year’s Muzzle awards should get a harumph out of most…

Among last years bulleted list of items awarding John Ashcroft:

• Allowing $8,000 in tax dollars to be spent on drapes to conceal two semi-nude statues that often appeared behind the attorney general during press conferences in the Great Hall of the Department of Justice. Ironically, the two statues represent “The Spirit of Justice” and “The Majesty of Law.”

I didn’t get a [HEDLEY LAMARR: Give the governor harrumph!
REPORTER: Harrumph!
GOVERNOR: You watch your ass.

">harumph]() out of you!!

Thread over to etymology.

I seem to recall being taught Greek and Roman myths in grade school with no mention of the Norse counterparts.

I’ve erased a few sentances concerning why this may be (American puritanical roots, 20th century Christian dominance in our society, and more) but really all I am qualified to say is wtf?

Alternatively, the concept of “I’ve erased foo because I can’t think of how to communicate bar!” is so very tastily electronic isn’t it? If this were a letter that I’d pencil’d to you and was full of erasure marks, would you think me a thoughtful person?

Jokerbone archives go back to 2002.

I have “posts” on a “homepage” going back to July of '99. Does that count? Have I been “blogging since 1999”? Supposing I had, is that a point of pride or shame? For those of you that followed the link, I know, I know, it sucks.

I imported my old hand written php blog into MT. Should I import those five posts or so, plus others I have archived from various sites between that one and jokerbone.com into the MT system?

Congressman Nancy L. Johnson (R-CT), Chairman, Subcommittee on Health of the Committee on Ways and Means, today announced that the Subcommittee hearing on the Medicare Drug Discount Card, previously scheduled for 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, April 1, 2004, in room 1100 Longworth House Office Building, will now begin at 2:00 p.m.
Just got back from a bi-weekly work meeting. XM on the way home bounced around from a Faces song on Deep Tracks (Rod Stewart, pre-suck), a Pat Methany song on Beyond Jazz (I gave it 2 minutes - no guitar, changed it), Beastie Boys on Ethel XL (whachoowant?), then danced over all of my presets before settling on a c-span recording of todays House Ways and Means Committe.

When the transcript becomes available this space will be updated with the funny part

I’ve always been annoyed at my lack of ability to be annoyed with bash’s default to emacs-style command line editing long enough to learn simple emacs commands.

Problem solved. Add it to your bashrc. Play with your history with /., esc:0 to the beginning of a line, w, b, j, k, x, dd around or jump with /. Leave that pesky ctrl key to things you don’t do very often like exiting the shell.

After driving past their headquarters visible from NY Ave, NW on the way to and from the B/W Parkway with the knowledge that the 3+ hours a day in my car could be better spent, I’ve finally broken down and gotten an XM Radio receiver. This is 6 days after the first time I saw one outside of a store, so I guess I didn’t wait too long.

I’m very impressed. I have no idea where I’m going to mount the unit on my dash in my RSX but I’m not really worries yet.

When I figure that out, there will be pictures.
