I hit my message number 1000 on Twitter last night.

If you use twitter, let me know!!

So, the night before the Democratic Convention started, tornadoes hit Denver.

Now there’s a chance that Hurricane Gustav could hit New Orleans the night before the Republican Convention starts.

Is God casting His vote?

This might be a good year to vote Libertarian.

Well, government and horseshoes close, anyways.

Woot’s been bragging about it’s meteoric rise in popularity lately, and rightfully so. As a sort of thank you to it’s earliest customers, they went and declared the first 5000 distinct purchasers as Charter Members. I ordered from w00t early on, and was hoping that I’d make that glorious cut.

Alas, it was not to be. As Woot divulged today, the 5000th customer made their purchase as order number 10017253. I did some back-tracking today, and my first order from Woot was 10098083.

80830 orders after the cut-off.

Soooo close. I wish there I’d at least get a Monkey Prize or something.

August 15: Disposal.

1. What did you last replace batteries for? The TV remote in the Den.

2. What have you thrown away that you probably could have had repaired? Last year, my lawnmower started having problems. It was 10 years old. I probably could have repaired it, but decided to splurge and bought a lawn tractor instead.

I gave the lawnmower to my Dad. He had it up and running in about a day. I don’t regret my decision in the least.

3. Among items in your line of sight right now, what should probably be put in the trash? Junk mail.

4. When did you last use disposable cutlery while dining in your house? Do chopsticks count? If so… about 2 weeks ago.

5. Whose actions cause you to waste time you otherwise wouldn’t waste? I’m going to refrain from answering this question.
