I love seeing those Amber Alerts flash on those message boards along the freeways. They make me feel like a detective.

Today for example, there was one looking for a Florida motorhome. I saw that and I was like “NO PROBLEM CALIFORNIA DRIVERS! OFFICER BRETT IS ON THE CASE!”

I did not see the motorhome.

If you’re looking for a good resource of local scanner frequencies, CityFreq.com is probably your best bet.

Looking back on my computing life, I think the only operating system that I’ve ever purchased was GS/OS 6.0.1. I still have the box, the disks, and even the manuals. That was good times.

Having trouble installing the Photoshop 7.0.1 update?

This will make it easy!

If you’re running multiple monitors in Windows, you need to install UltraMon. Among other things it

- extends the taskbar onto more than one screen

- stretches your wallpaper to fill as many screens as you’d like

- lets you define screensavers for each display

There’s a whole lot of weirdos out there with a whole lot of money. People you’d never even expect! Case in point – Andreas Vollenweider. What the heck could he possibly do with all the cash that 20 years of recording has given him?

Aside from buying a really nice house, nice car, and materials to make more weird instruments, I have no idea what he could possibly be doing with all that money.

ANNOUNCING THE “WHAT IS ANDREAS VOLLENWEIDER DOING WITH ALL THAT MONEY” CONTEST!!!

If you think you know what AW’s up to with all that money, let me know in five sentences or less! I’ll post all of the submissions I get on Friday! The winner of the most hilarious answer will win a special prize that will arrive in the mail!

One entry per person! (except for Tammy who gets two)

ps- I am listening to an AW CD right now.

pps- Someone did a shopping spree in LA with a credit card that never left my wallet this weekend. :(

Best commercial in the history of television: Virgin Mobile: Art Class

By body’s achy all over today. I think I’m coming down with something.

You know what would help right now? A back rub. Maybe I can convince my bosses to buy me a massage chair for the office! Like in that one episode of News Radio!

If I was a millionaire and didn’t have to worry about money, I’d probably try to get one of these jobs.

My usual freeway off-ramp was closed this morning, so I had to venture through uncharted ghetto to get to work today.

The highlight of the trip was an old homeless woman bending over and spreading her bare cheeks for me. Well, that’s what I thought anyway… It turns out she was just pissing on the sidewalk.

I listened to the Fantasmic soundtrack on the way to work today. That is one great CD.
