<p>Just a quick note to all you wacky kids out there:</p>

<p>There's a new email virus that is making quick inroads into people's computers. I believe that it works like the virus that came about a few months ago - it comes from people you know who have been infected. I've been sent it twice already.</p>

<p>The body of the message looks similar to this:</p>

I know that some of you who check out this site have your own webpages. With the possibility that I may soon need a new home for this site as well, I have been looking at some providers and almost none provide the price/performance I want with some degree of reliability.

Thus, I have been considering getting my own server and providing hosting to my friends and family. Basically, I plan on absorbing more of ...

<p>As Greg pointed out to me over the phone, I realized I had never told what happened to my car. In case you didn't read earlier, my car had sporadically stopped starting. I had resumed it was related to the cold outside, but it turns out that $250 later, it was just something really dumb.</p>

<p>My car is a 2001 Nissan Altima, which like many other dumb-ass ...

Don't know if you've read the story or not...

<p>I had finished my X-Box, installed a network card on my TiVo, got my new MX-500 Universal Remote mostly programmed (relieving me of the 7 plus remote mess on the coffee table) and was working towards finally making this site pretty. I even managed to get some new pictures up (which many of you have noticed). And then...</p>

<p>TiVo takes a crap. Last ...

Wanted to let Chris know this, but too lazy to call...I just came back from Europe and the greatest moment of my trip - by far, sadly - came in Paris. I was walking around, minding my own business, when I gazed skyward and saw a billboard for a new movie, starring...Gerard Depardieu! He's still alive! I thought he was dead. I am so glad.

<p>I finished captioning the Chicago pictures, so I opened the album in the Images section. Please check it out and leave comments. Remember that you have to login before leaving comments, but anyone can see the pictures without logging in. The login is the same as for the message board. </p>

<p>If you like the pictures, you can email them to friends in an e-card ...

For those that saw the first playoff game of the weekend, how much does it prove that Mike Martz is one of the dumbest game decision coaches in the NFL?

He makes game clock and other (punt, FG, or go for it) decisions as if he has never seen a football game before in his life. I am able to make better strategy decisions in cricket than he is in football.

What do I mean? ...

<p>I'm up way too late, so I'll keep it brief. I finally got the digital camera working, so I have edited and uploaded the Chicago pictures. They are not available yet, as I will be captioning them this weekend, but the time draws near.</p>

<p>In more good news, I successfully modded my X-Box yesterday. It was remarkably easier than I thought, but I shall not go into ...

Ok, one more.
Has anyone seen more than five minutes of anything on FOX News involving Sam Sheppard(There is a serious TV lull around 3pm everyday after my class).
He is supposed to be the next young, up-and-coming news anchor, but he's AWFUL. He screws up reading from the teleprompter approximately 8-10 times throughout a one-hour show. If you are a professional newscaster, you're going to screw up every once in awhile, that's fine, but ...
