Like having one hole in the ozone wasn’t enough, now we have two!

I’m not too worried though. There’s a growing number of scientists who say that the level of ozone in the atmosphere has zero impact on global warming, and they’ve got some pretty convincing evidence! (I’d provide a link here if I had one, but I don’t at the moment!)

Tammy and I went to a Star Trek convention on Saturday. It was AWESOME. Patrick Stewart, Gates McFadden, and Wil Wheaton were all there.

Virginia Hey from Farscape was there signing autographs, too! That was pretty great! I’m already pumped up about the Farscape convention next month!

This guy is a musical GENIUS. He writes music using nothing more than 8-bit Nintendo samples! Click the ‘music’ link on the left for mp3s!

I want a Broadbench monitor!!!

This is probably the best thing that could have happened to Disney’s theme parks. Don’t believe the quotes – he was no asset to Disney.

Whelp, it’s official. Uniden will soon start selling the very first *trunking* digital scanners in the industry.

A few years back the LAPD switched over to an all-digital communications system. This meant that anyone with a conventional police scanner could no longer listen in to their transmissions. Not anymore! Uniden’s bringin’ it to ya!

A big fire has been burning behind Glendora and LaVerne over the past few days. Tammy’s house is safe for now…

I’ve been listening to the fire crews work on my scanner at home. I should have brought it in to work with me.

I think the fire team control channel is C-Tac 1 (FM 482.8125). Evacuation info can be heard on 482.8375 (C-Tac 2.)

Tammy and I drove around Anaheim Hills this weekend with a Realtor. We didn’t see much that jumped out at us, but it was only our first day of looking. We may even be able to afford a full-blown three-bedroom house out there, which means we can say goodbye to our plan of moving to a cramped condo or townhouse! We’ve got a great realtor out there, so she’ll be keeping us updated as things become available.

In other news, I have to take the biggest dump in the world right now, but the city’s working on the plumbing so the water’s out till at least 2pm today. I need a cork!

USA Today has put up some really interesting interactive Census data- Check it out.

I’ve worked 12 hour days for the past few days and it’s killing me. 8 hours at work-work, then 4 hours at home freelancing.

Money’s money, but this is nuts.
