Working too hard?

I have no idea what they are selling. And this marks the first time I've done two posts in one day.

If you disable ActiveX controls and such, then you can see it at this link.

If you see nothing, then you need to go and get Shockwave installed.

If all you hear is that space wind in the background then you need to either (1) wait until it finishes playing 2'26", or (2) scroll down the page until you get to the media bar on the left side and hit stop.

You need to press play to start the video (at least I do).

Ha! I feel just like this man. Thanks for the smile to start my day. Btw, how do you post videos? I tried to figure it out and couldn't get anywhere. Help would be appreciated.

Indeed, I spend two-thirds of my working hours holding a 'mouse' - hope I won't end up like him.
have a good day!

lawschooldoll: thanks for dropping by.

I grabbed the video from google videos. This is the original link

They have an option that allows you to post it to your webpage - just select the HTML code, cut and paste.

Of course, you can then look at the HTML code and figure out how to post your own videos (maybe).

lenny thanks for dropping by my blog (although I really think you are an automated spam robot - you can always prove me wrong, but two identical comments in two posts?). I'm wondering if I should start requiring people to type in a verification code (much as it annoys me on other peoples blogs - especially when it is something like ijliiilij because the smearing they apply makes it difficult to work out the letters sometimes. Have you ever had to type in that verification word 3 times? sigh.

LFY: I hope you don't either.

ingrid: glad I made you laugh. Yes, maybe lenny has been working a tad hard lately ;-)

[19September-2007 @ 17:11 EST: Revised preamble. This page still gets the most search hits: There is no Anthony de Croud. The e-mail is SPAM. I post things that pique my fancy at the moment. I like the 8 precepts, but the rest of the e-mail is junk. However, I thought it fair to post everything in its entirety. I did not write the e-mail. I did not forward the e-mail. I strongly encourage you not to forward it either. (I also encourage you to reply to whomever sent you the e-mail and tell them you don't appreciate getting junk mail.)] Received this in our e-mail (English translation follows): PRECEPTO CHINO SOBRE EL DINERO EL DINERO PUEDE COMPRAR UNA CASA, PERO NO UN HOGAR, EL DINERO PUEDE COMPRAR UN RELOJ, PERO NO EL TIEMPO.

I had bought some frozen calamari (squid) a while back and decided that it was time I actually did something with them. I thawed them out and cleaned them. I have never done this before and I am sure I was horribly slow and inefficient (it took me an hour to clean 2 pounds – 907g – worth). You begin by grasping the body and pulling out the head and guts. Then you squeeze out the guck inside and then peel off the skin (or film) on the surface. As a bonus, most of the skin comes off when you squeeze out the gunk. Finally you need to remove the spine. This was news to me, I thought that squid did not have any hard structure (aside from the beaky mouth). It is an interesting piece, when removed, it looks exactly like a piece of transparent plastic. Still haven’t decided what to make with it, but I will cook it tonight. Photo credits: Richard of Forbidden Planet [Note: today, blogger forced me to change over to the new blogger.

but you will not exhaust all your foes. If you quell your own anger, your real enemy will be slain. - Nagarjuna , a Buddhist philosopher, c150-250 CE He that will be angry for anything will be angry for nothing. - Sallust, Roman historian, 86-34 BCE. When we reject people in anger, or turn on them with the aim of inflicting pain, we damage our souls even more. - Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor, 121-180 CE (Meditations, Chapter 2) [For those who are curious where I've been ... erm ... mixture of a lack of enthusiasm, energy and time for blogging. But not to worry, I have had plenty of time to come down with Strep throat - twice. I am currently on my second round of antibiotics, apparently the first round wasn't wholly effective. Makes me wonder how 10 days was decided upon as the standard treatment duration because this is not the first time a round of antibiotics has failed to cure me and I have ended up going for a second round. I have also been busy reading about photograph...
