Well, I’ve got the video edit station set up at work, finally. For those of you geeking along at home, the setup includes a mini-DV deck and an international format VCR for playback, an SVHS VCR for recording, an analog to digital converter and a mini LCD monitor to check output. All of this is connected with a massive maze of cables, carefully arranged and velcro’d together in a fashion reminiscent of a badminton net that has collided with an airborne spaghetti factory.

Rain changes everything. Today it is about 40 degrees out and drizzling down rain. It’s absolutely miserable out there. Last week it was 40 degrees out, but with bright sunshine. I drove around with the windows down and the sunroof open. Same temperature, entirely different attitudes.

The Vandecat with her new punk hairstyle…
I joke, of course. This is just a temporary result of having bathed her on Friday.
On the other hand, the death beam gaze is a permanent effect…

A little something from page 89 of the Apple Xserve User Guide:
Be sure that you always do the following:

Seriously, why do they even say this? Did they get a lot of service calls from people who’d set up a server farm in their bathtub?

One of my co-workers put the little model-guy that my Wife gave me for Christmas into an appropriate pose for Monday mornings.

Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell
Isn’t that a great title? The RCK found it for us in a search on Net Flix. According to the reviews, which are available to subscribers, it’s gotten a star rating of 1.5 out of a possible 10. Sounds like an excellent Smithee candidate. I especially like the plot summary:
The survivors of a nuclear holocaust compete for the love of the last surviving woman – a nymphoid barbarian.
