As many of you may know, H & I love kitsch. Little retro pop culture pieces of Americana. A big player in that love is amusement parks, especially classic amusement parks. I mean, there was a reason we hit Disney World for our honeymoon.
So, with that in mind, I'm skipping surfing w/ my dad today, and instead H & I are driving south to Ocean City for the day to hit Trimper's on the boardwalk. Tomorrow it's back to Rehoboth's boardwalk for rides at Funland. At some point we'll hit the Sea Shell Shop on Costal Hwy for an epic game of minigolf.

As of last night, the MJ memorial merch had already hit the tourist trap shops, choice of three designs.
The classic 5 & 10 that my sister's in-law's ran on the Rehoboth boardwalk was sold at the close of last season. It has been converted into one of those dime a dozen boardwalk junk shops that sells tshirts and "tobacco products".
I never thought my father could make laugh as hard as he did last night.

Driving to the beach. Couldn't find our way, then we turned off Rt 404.
A couple miles back we saw the 'There is no place like 127.0.0.1' bumper sticker.

I have found MJ's death to be kinda anti-climactic. I mean, I always expected him to die in some manner that was as larger-than-life as his lifestyle. Steve Irwin? That was a death I expected from him. MJ just dying of a heart attack like any other old man? Not really.
Other than that, death is death. I find it really unfair that someone gets this level of fanfare when they die, while others don't. On the other side, I find it unfair that MJ will be getting such an impersonal send off while those of us that are down here with the rest off us will be mourned in a manner that money cannot buy.

| » SOS Tech Geeks - iPhone Email Problem |
|---|
For some reason my iPhone can not find the outgoing server for my Verizon.Net email address, which pretty much means I can't send any emails. This is the email address I use for my professional life, so I need it to work. I have my settings identical to the settings in my Microsoft Outlook, which has no problem sending or receiving any emails. I have tried a number of solutions found on Google (as it seems this is a common problem) to no avail. This problem cannot be replicated when connected to a WiFi connection. I need to fix this by Friday night.
Help me, LJ Oracle, you are my only hope.

As many of you know, Heather & I use Metro as our main source of transportation. Many of you also know we live next to the Takoma station. Neither of us were on either train that crashed.

| » Quit Anniversary! |
|---|
Your Quit Date is: Monday, April 10, 2006 at 10:00:00 PM
Time Smoke-Free: 1156 days, 8 hours, 5 minutes and 25 seconds
Cigarettes NOT smoked: 17345
Lifetime Saved: 4 months, 12 days, 11 hours
Money Saved: $3,037.12
WHO'S BETTER THAN YOU TODAY?
You've made it! A whole 38 months without a cigarette! In that time, you've
successfully navigated the physical chaos of withdrawal, the emotional highs and
lows of early quit, and the pitfalls of relapse!
WHO'S BETTER THAN YOU TODAY?
Countless times you've refused the offered cigs. More times than that you've
craved nicotine, but opted for health, instead. You've endured teasing, lack of
support, and feeling uncomfortable and out of place among smokers. You may have
had issues with weight, anger, tension or sadness, but still you stayed
SMOKE-FREE!
WHO'S BETTER THAN YOU TODAY?
You're adjusting to a whole new lifestyle. You're already thinking different
thoughts. You've changed habits and routines. You've made new friends and,
perhaps, let go of some old ones. You're starting to realize the benefits of
living a SMOKE-FREE life. More and more, you see yourself as a non-smoker. We
hope you're as proud of you as we are.
WHO'S BETTER THAN YOU TODAY?
And while you've been doing all this for yourself, you've been helping everyone
here at the Q: your membership in our community, whether active or passive, has
demonstrated an ongoing support of the efforts of all of us. We hope you stay
with us as you continue your SMOKE-FREE journey to a fuller, richer, healthier
life.

Depeche Mode is awesome, and it's amazing how many bands have built a career around imitating them.
Just more obvious facts, move along.

| » Question For iCult - iPhone Cases |
|---|
So, I've been looking for iPhone cases that are similar to the case I currently use for my Palm. You know, the one made of anodized aircraft grade aluminum and lined with neoprene (Examples for iPhone here). Thing is, there are a bunch of other options besides color that only a real user could answer. Like:
- Do I want to get one with a hard plastic screen cover (which means I'll have to open the case to use it, like I do with the touch screen for my Palm now), or will a heavy duty screen protecting film be enough?
- Do I want to get one that opens horizontally (like a book), or one that opens vertically with the hinge on the bottom (like looking at the centerfold of the SI swimsuit edition one-handed)? I have yet to find one that opens vertically with the hinge on the top (like a pocket spiral notepad), which makes the mosts sense to me if I were to get a case with a hard plastic screen protector. Even if you don't have any experence with this style of case, which do you think sounds like the least hassle for typing when open?
- Speaking of screen protecting film, does your experience say I should be looking for an anti-glare or ultra-clear or can I get away with a regular old film? EDIT: I am leaning towards THIS - Zagg invisibleSHIELD
I paid a lot for this phone (unlike my muffler), and I'd like to keep it around for three years like I did with my Palm (which, for all intents and purposes, still works and looks fairly new).

| » Update on The Job Game |
|---|
After hitting between 70-80 hours last week, I am very thankful to be able to work about 20-30 this week so I can recover as well as focus on Rocky Horror this weekend.
I am applying for two corperate gigs on Monday. Why Monday? Because it will be the first momment I have free to do so. One gig would be a 9a to 5p, and be up the street from H's office. The other would probably pay more but would have me on the road nationaly 60% of the time (if not more). Exciting, something I have always wanted to do, but not exactly what I wanted from the next step in my career.
Tomorrow I have interviews for two positions that have outright been offered to me. One had my resume passed on to them from someone who attended the DC Tech cattle call, the other is a company whom I have worked along side in the past that has never seen my resume. The second one is also up the street from H's office, and both would be huge steps in my career. Neither would really offer the level of stability I had been looking for in my next career move, nor would they offer any certainty of hours - one would MAX OUT at 20h p/w, the other would have the same flex as my freelance schedule (although I would be higher on the call chain than I am now). The interviews are more about my deciding if I want the job than anything else. If you have an opinion based on what you have read, please let me know - I need all the help I can with this decision.
That's how you play the game, MFer's. More later.
