Blogging Slowing Down?

I noticed the blog statistics are down these past few months, wassup authors? Gabe and I post on a regular basis, which is nice. However, the other authors have bailed out and are nowhere to be found.

Should I consider inviting other authors to post? How about a guest author? I can roam the dub dub dub in search of eligible candidates to post on the infamous wassupjose blog. How do we encourage authors to post on a regular basis?

Blog Is Worth …

I found a website, which claims to evaluate any website. What do they mean "evaluate"? It apparently looks at index data (traffic, pagerank, back links, etc) and estimates the website worth. Okay, I will give it a try. How much is wassupjose worth? Dammit!


My site is worth $146.
How much is yours worth?

Damn Toll Heads

Not towel heads, toll heads! You know the ignorant drivers that know they are destined for a toll booth, but wait until they are parked in front of the toll operator to dig for the damn toll fee. Today a dumb toll head took 2:17 minutes to pass the toll booth, arrgh!

The toll booths were clear, so I decided to stay in the lane and follow the car ahead of me through the booth. I usually have to fight for the best position like Nascar. Wait, not so fast Ricky Racer. We need to complicate this process just to piss me off.

The driver rolled down her window (this was a clue I was behind a toll head), then she digs around in the cab for almost 2 minutes, and then finally pays the fee. Needless to say, I was pissed off. It took her what seemed like an eternity to get her ass out of the booth.

Makes you feel so, sort of, insignificant, doesn’t it? Can we have your liver, then?

Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown,
And things seem hard or tough,
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft,
And you feel that you've had quite eno-o-o-o-o-ough...
Just remember...

Spam Poetry: NextPart_000_33F0_

I received a delivery error the other day for an email I never sent. As I inspected the contents I couldn't help but notice that it read like a free form poem and I wanted to share. It seems powerfully irrelevant.

My New Favorite Method

female.pngIsSexIllogical()

It returns a boolean. Although, without looking into the method further, I'm sure it's hardcoded to always return false. Nice work guys!

This is a little bit better than Catch sex as System.Exception.

Piece Of Junk

A couple of months ago, I purchased a new CD receiver for the handsome Focus. The OEM radio and CD unit died out after five plus years of service thus the new receiver. I was not looking for a reference system, so I purchased an entry-level unit.

The make is Kenwood and the model is KDC-MP238. The unit plus hardware and installation was approximately $200, so I went ahead and purchased it. Originally, I wanted a Sony but the salesperson commented (read bullshit) it was not a good unit.

Whatever moron, I just want a CD receiver so I can blow this taco stand. Well, after months of using the Kenwood receiver I can honestly state the unit is a piece of crap. The display is useless during the day and the multi-function volume knob sucks.

Another Milestone!

Earlier today, 5:15pm PST to be exact, I reached a milestone in the handsome Focus. Yes, I reached automotive mid-life at 50,000 miles. The handsome Focus will be six years old next Monday, September 8th. I am averaging a kewl 8,500 miles per year.

Actually, I average about 7,700 - 7,800 miles per year but the daily commute is skewing the numbers. I will get back on track as soon as I get the carpool group lined up, hopefully in the next day or two. Happy "almost" 6th Birthday to the Focus!

50K Mile Milestone
