Well, I reckon Kansanians can evolve once again. New Scientist I guess 'science,' with its world of 'observable facts' is starting to reassert itself. I don't live in Kansas, nor do I intend to, but the news that the State School Board will be losing its anti-evolution majority makes me feel as if the world suddenly became a bit saner. Welcome to the 21st century, Kansas. It's kinda nice here. God, I love evolution. I'm feeling a second opposable thumb coming on any minute now. Personally, I think we gave up a little too much when we lost the opposable toes. Perhaps there's a way to correct that regrettable loss of functionality.

So maybe I've been living in a closet, but this is one of the funniest things I've seen in quite a while (blame Family Guy). Peanut Butter Jelly Time
Watching some videos at GBS.tv. They ran "Pirate Baby's Cabana Battle Street Fight 2006". Fantastic stuff. There's nothing like zombie ultra gore animated in super cute 16 bit pixel style set to a rock soundtrack to make your day. Features include: ++ Christopher Walken evolving into a mountain range ++ Sammo Hung in a sweat suit ++ The cast of Predator ++ and much, much more!
Read more…I updated the Drupal engine to version 4.7.2 this morning. The transition has been fairly smooth. Some new features have farked a bit of the non-essential content display, but I've been tossing around the idea of refactoring a lot of the site anyway. There is too much elbow room on the site for the tiny amount of content it contains.
Cycled into work last Tuesday morning, took three calls, wondered why the calls dried up... Yup, totally fired; on 6/6/06 no less. I can't say that I'm surprised, angry, or otherwise upset. The pay was good, and money is a requisite for life in a capitalist society, but in the end it was simply a job; I was not planning on answering phone calls as a career. However, it is good to know that my job performance was satisfactory to the extent that a budget shortfall was the determining factor in my dismissal. Indeed, I am at the top of the contractor hiring list come August if an upcoming software rollout warrants sufficient need for phone techs
In the meantime, it is a good excuse to dive back into the shop and make products and preparations for an upcoming show in June. Mel has been pushing for sushi related serving dishes, and I am not one to disregard good advice. A few people have requested such items at past events, and as they would pay cash monies for them, I am happy to oblige. I plan a photo shoot this week and an update to our online catalog.
My sister married good friend photovore09 this past weekend. Both friends and family arrived in unexpected numbers; shy of droves perhaps, but a sizable and motley crue was assembled. Ravers, hippies, conservative middle class, young, old; separation by demographic, cultural, financial, age, or otherwise would be a tedious chore. The best part, overall everyone had a good time. Everyone danced, many drank, and the vibe was quite positive. Even my friend Stephen enjoyed himself, and he has a particular aversion to family based social gatherings.
