I have to admit… this is just one of the dumbest, funniest things I’ve read through in a while. If you don’t find it funny within the first few dozen pages, try starting over and reading the commentary out loud. I almost died from lack of oxygen this afternoon I was laughing so hard. You can see it by clicking HERE.
Please let me know that I’m not the only one laughing at this.

School Work vs. Home Work
I lucked out this week. I finished with one of my course’s assignments for the week on Monday night, and the other course I’m taking is giving us two weeks to finish the lesson we’re on, so I don’t have to spend too much time worrying about a deadline this weekend.
The best thing about that is that we’re hoping to finish working on the house this weekend. I’m so excited about making the move that I don’t want anything to get in the way of it. I made sure that I had all of my school work out of the way before this weekend, and now I’m way ahead.
I wish I had this kind of motivation all of the time, because it feels really good to have it done almost a week before it’s due. (I’ve already gotten a perfect score on each one of my assignments for the week.
1954 Personal Computer Outlook
I saw this picture and had to share it.
The text reads as follows…
Scientists from the RAND Corporation have created this model to illustrate how a “home computer” could look like in the year 2004. However the needed technology will not be economically feasible for the average home. Also the scientists readily admit that the computer will require not yet invented technology to actually work, but 50 years from now scientific progress is expected to solve these problems. With teletype interface and the Fortran language, the computer will be easy to use.
Â
The funniest part about this is the fact that they actually thought this would be a small computer in the beginning of the 21st century. I’m glad they were way off, but who knows where we’d be right now if they hadn’t envisioned the possibility of having computers in people’s homes way back then… Their vision wasn’t that far off, though, when you compare what we have now to what they had access to back then.Â
I Love This Comeback…
I can’t verify the validity or truth to this story, but I like the story anyway. I received it in an email from my Aunt today.
One of my sons serves in the military. He is still stateside, here in California. He called me yesterday to let me know how warm and welcoming people were to him, and his troops, everywhere he goes, telling me how people shake their hands, and thank them for being willing to serve, and fight, for not only our own freedoms but so that others may have them also.
But he also told me about an incident in the grocery store he stopped at yesterday, on his way home from the base. He said that ahead of several people in front of him stood a woman dressed in a burkha. He said when she got to the cashier she loudly remarked about the U.S. flag lapel pin the cashier wore on her smock. The cashier reached up and touched the pin, and said proudly,” Yes, I always wear it and probably always will.”
The woman in the burkha then asked the cashier when she was going to stop bombing her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi. A gentleman standing behind my son stepped forward, putting his arm around my son’s shoulders, and nodding towards my son, said in a calm and gentle voice to the Iraqi woman:
“Lady,thousands of men and women like this young man have fought and died so that YOU could stand here, in MY country and accuse a check-out cashier of bombing YOUR countrymen. It is my belief that had you been this outspoken in YOUR own country, we wouldn’t need to be there today. But, hey, if you have now learned how to speak out so loudly and clearly, I’ll gladly buy you a ticket and pay your way back to Iraq so you can straighten out the mess in YOUR country that you are obviously here in MY country to avoid.”
Everyone within hearing distance cheered!
IF YOU AGREE____Pass this on to all your proud American friends. I just did.
I agree wholeheartedly. Do you?
I’m a Sound Technician
I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned it here, but I run the sound at my church. I’ve been doing it for about 7 years. I didn’t know that the ability to do it was worth anything.
We had a guest pastor a few weeks ago, and he told me he’d like to hire me to do sound for him when he was pastoring in the area. I thought he was just making me feel good about myself, initially. He called me yesterday afternoon because he was ministering at a church close to mine. I made sure it was okay with my pastor, and I called Mr. Jones back to find out where to meet him.
I was only there for about two and a half hours, but it was a good job, and I’d like to do it more often.
Kunefke.US meets Gmail
I signed up a while ago for beta testing a new service using Gmail with my domain. It is really cool, and was pretty simple to set up. I can set up up to 25 users (email accounts) for free using gmail as the host. They have a kunefke.us address, but it is hosted on Google’s servers.
The really cool thing about this is that there is no procedure to set it up on each individual computer. I just have to give them a link to the sign-in page, and they keep up with the link.
In fact, I’ll give it to you right HERE. If you want an account, shoot me an email by clicking HERE
Lost – Where’s the New Stuff?
I know that this seems to be a trend right now, but please give us a few episodes in a row. We’ve already been threatened with the possibility of not figuring everything out for 5 seasons, but can you at least give us multiple new episodes a few weeks in a row?
Sure, each episode goes through much more production than most one hour shows, but it’s getting old having to wait 2 or 3 weeks at a time for a new episode. Hopefully you’re just holding back to have a good finish to your second season with the last 6 or 7 weeks without a rerun. Please let that be the case.
School Work
I created a second blog to use for school. I know that at some point I will need to use it for communication with my professors or classmates. School is taking much longer than I anticipated, but I know it’ll be worth it in the long term.
My NAU blog can be found HERE. I tried to find a theme that looked different, but I just couldn’t break away from my current theme. Let me know if you find a similar theme in another color, or something with expandable sidebar items.
Spore
I just came across what will probably be one of the best games to come out this decade. It is being built for the PC, but it is rumored to be designed for the Xbox 360 & Nintendo Revolution as well.
The name of the game is Spore. They originally wanted to call it ‘Sim Everything’, but through the production, “it” wanted to keep it’s code name as the title.
When you begin the game, you start out as a simple spore that lives in a drop of water. Over time, you evolve until you are large enough and have the mental capacity to have a tribe. Your tribe evolves into a civilization. You can then control an entire solar system, making your way to interstellar travel.
One of the neat things about this game is that the creatures you develop are uploaded to the network, so that other users can interact with your species. There is no interaction between users, but the number of species that can be created is immense.
The video is kinda long (35 minutes), but it is very informative about how much fun the game is going to be. It is supposed to be released before the end of this year.

“Hate Bush” Politics
I received a message from someone yesterday that had a list of things to “screw” (the word wasn’t really screw, but I don’t even like to use the irst letter o the real word used). For instance, 1. “screw” holidays, 2. “screw” bush, 4. “screw” vinnella icecream, 5. “screw” sports, etc.
The thing that made me mad was #2. One of the things that upset me is that the person didn’t attach their name to it. They felt good for just a few minutes, but didn’t have to account for their comment any further than that.
The problem is much bigger than this, but this hit a nerve that I just didn’t like. There is a “movement” on the liberal side of the aisle that has focused on one major point —> “HATE BUSH!”
Another problem for the liberals is that the imbeciles who think they’re “fighting for a cause” are falling flat on their faces. Their inability to think for themselves and maintain the hype created by the liberals are exhibiting their lack of intelligence involved in what some might call their thought process.
Get off of the “Hate Bush” bandwagon, and deal with the issues. When President Clinton was in office, I didn’t like the fact that he was, but I accepted it, and even accepted the good points of his term. Why can’t any of the liberals out there do the same? They are “supposed” to be the ones who scream for everyone to accept diversity, but they have hate speeches about President Bush that would have gotten conservatives hanged if they had spoken about President Clinton in the same manner.
If you don’t follow politics, we know it. I’ll tell you how. This goes just the same for the people who are serving in politics. If your entire platform is to oppose everything the current President says, we don’t want to hear it, because you are involved in “Hate Bush” politics and we’re tired of hearing your crap.
