Here I am finally getting the fraking laundry done. I ran out of undies and socks so it was time!
Finally doing laundry
Category: photo
Shhh!
Don’t tell Rob.
I think I finally got an blog by email function to work!
Posting with Postie v2.0
So the blog’s “post by email” thingy doesn’t work, flickr‘s version is broken as well currently. What does a fucker have to do just to get a decent code write? lol Trying w/a plug-in I found called postie.
The first attempt w/an inline insert didn’t work, trying as an attachment now.
Doh!
I totally forgot. Kevin managed to get one of my pics converted to a Simpson’s character. Hehehe I think I look better in real life however, the jury is still out on that one.
Geek Unbound
I get to yack about my favorite subject today. Gadgets!
My MDA/pocket-pc has been slowly wearing out. Lord knows, I’ve dropped it countless times. Thank god it has a newer plexy screen vs glass. T-mobile came out with the newer version of the same phone code-named Wing.
I was already leaning toward this one as I really liked the new blue sleek design. Adam mentioned the helio which was very nice however, it would not work w/T-mobile’s network. My phone service has been almost trouble free so if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it is sorta my motto.
It is pretty much an improvement on my existing one. Newer operating system (Windows Mobile 6), faster chip speed, sleeker design, better camera (2 megapixels), blah blah blah. T-mobile notoriously has shitty cameras on their phones however, this one ain’t half bad. I snapped this pic at work and left it in its raw format.
So far, I’m very pleased. It has almost a soft feel to it. The frame is super smooth and slides right into hand. The shape is not quite as form fitting as the MDA but I’ve already adapted. They added some extra control buttons on the face that eliminates the need to touch the screen. I hate the stylus so try to avoid it if at all possible. They moved things around a bit too. Buttons are in different places. Some a little more user friendly, a couple rather oddly placed. They also added a port replicator. A very useful little feature when you are trying to charge your phone and use the USB option at the same time. Previous models were limited to one or the other unless you were syncing it w/a PC.
T-mobile managed to get me for a 2 year contract however, I used it to my advantage. I’ve been off contract for several years now and they were itching to get me to sign up again. I haggled w/the Manager till he gave me an extra discount. Give me a month to put it thru the paces before I start bitchin’. lol
Utter Randomness
Absolutely nothing overtly exciting in this post. Really, I swear. Oh alright, I do have a few half way interesting pics to share. That’s it!
Seems like a case of the nasties is going around the intarweb lately. From brettcajun’s regular hater list, Jimbo’s recent brush w/the a snooty-patooty, and homer getting a snotty email from a frigid hag over a minor posting error, my weekly list of not-so-fond admirers seems dull in comparison. Yes, I get hate mail. I often ignore them as I don’t have time for other people’s issues. Hell, I barely have time for mine. The last said commenter went thru the effort to register as a user and then complained about my explicit posts. Ignoramus, I told you not to register if you didn’t wanna hear about such things. Most often, I think folks are operating under the incorrect assumption I give a shit what they think of my life. No thanks, I’m all stocked up on bullshit here. That, or they feel compelled to project their own issues onto my choices. See afore mentioned comment. Moving right along….
Here it is folks, a real life Mobius Dorkus captured in its native habitat. Be careful, I hear they can be quite ferocious.

The weekend was uneventful. The roomie’s bf is in town for a filming gig. He kept showing off his new iphone which I am summarily unimpressed with. Ok, ok, I’ll give props to the very slick interface however, it does very little besides look flashy. Here is a pic we snapped on our way to see the Harry Potter flick.

And, as if to add insult to injury, here is Ty and I wearing our very uber-sheik 3D glasses. (We saw it on IMAX and the last 20 minutes was in 3-D)

Now for some classic heart-warming family oriented pics. Oh yes! What would my blog be w/o some wholesome entertainment? Did I succeed or should I fire the censors?

Random Smandom IV
I’m on day two of my lovely 12 hour shifts. I’m begrudgingly surviving. Tomorrow is supposed to be the last day. Today is a tad busier however, no major crises1 so far. The All-Star game is officially tomorrow. I’m on the medical/fire side of the room this week and it is hoppin’ today. The PD side is relatively calm overall. We had 2 shootings today which then caused a vehicle accident but that seems to be the big drama of the day so far.

With the last post about register vs subscriber, I got a whole slew of new users. The list is well over a hundred now. If I haven’t expressed it before, let me say how truly honored I am you all enjoy my rants. I may not always be right but I always have an opinion!2

Speaking of, the Flight attendant texted me today. He is coming to SF in a couple of weeks. You can imagine the very large smile that put on my face! hehehe

And as a parting shot, if this doesn’t leave you in throws of laughter3 there is something wrong with you!
I think I was around 9 or 10 years old in this shot. Look how skinny I was…
1 It took me 3 attempts to figure out the plural version of “crisis”.
2 People were a little confused w/the subscriber vs log-in links so I added “register” to the latter.
3 I have more to add however, scanning and tweaking old polaroid shots takes time.

Picture It
I finally finished loading all the pics. Well I say all, most. I’m missing some of my pride pics but all the blogger pics I had are posted now.
See’em all here. http://pics.mobius.name

Remind me to NEVER fly with Continental airlines ever again. Both flights coming/going have been late. I’m sitting in IAH waiting, waiting, and waiting for my plane to arrive. I just heard the plane finally landed an hour and half late! So much for trying to get here on TIME. It could be worse I guess. I could have missed the damn flight all together.
The wait did give me some precious down time to work on some of the pics from the weekend. I had a really good time at the GBS (gay blogger summit II) this past weekend. The pic below should give you an indication of how it went.
Click here or on my pics link in the tidbits on the left for more. I’m only about halfway thru so you’ll have to come back for the rest.
The plane has apparently been douched and is fit for human travel again. I must be going…
Climbing On My Horse.
Once again ignunce rears its ugly head. I’m catching up my on my blogroll from work when I stumble across this post from joe.my.god.
The owners of a new website basically attacked Andy/Bill of the bigmusclebears.com family of websites with the image below.
When called to task for the behavior the site owner further had this to say.
You just cannot fathom how incorrect you are. For every one of you fluffy fags that defend those two child endangering losers, we get 200 to join our REAL Bear site. Why? Because outside of GayLoserTown USA, (aka San Francisco), the rest of the gay world regrets you flaming queens even exist. Your bring the curve down for the rest of the community, and are the root cause of why we don’t have equal rights.
Forgetting for a moment the outright nastiness of the owner, most of the rights we have today are thanks to ’those flaming queens’ he so detests. In the words of Donna Sachet, "Get a clue, Mary".
I happen to know Andy and Bill from various charities here in SF. It might be worth mentioning they don’t live in SF but far be it from me to offer up petty details. They are two of the friendliest, nicest guys you could ever meet. To me, they are the poster children for the bear community. To try and defame them is childish and irresponsible. Oh, and the pics used above were all taken from charity fundraisers. Andy and Bill own bigmuscle.com, normalguy.com, and bigmusclebears.com websites. They give thousands of dollars (and I do mean thousands) every year to local and national charities. It boggles the mind to someone from our own community is now attacking them in an attempt to make a buck.
Whether you identify as a bear or not, I encourage you to spread the word NOT to do business w/this guy. People like this only understand one thing, money. So I say we hit’em where it hurts.
I’m off to celebrate w/all "those flaming queens".
