was reluctant was that Bill Clinton had tried to beat me up[…]
Bill ran after me, tackled me, threw me to the floor of the kitchen in the mansion and cocked his fist back to punch me. You grabbed his arm and, yelling at him to stop and get control of himself, pulled him off me. Then you walked me around the grounds of the mansion in the minutes after, with your arm around me, saying, “He only does that to people he loves.”
Charming people.

Iraqi Boy Band Hopes Saddam’s Fall Spells Stardom
“If you ask a pop band how long they are rehearsing each day, it’s eight hours or 10 hours. We didn’t have the time, just two or three hours. We didn’t know if we were doing it right. We had no training. We just listened to CDs we liked and tried to create songs. It was very difficult for us.”
Garabedian says that despite the difficulties, if the band is given a chance it will prove it can reach the top.
“As an Iraqi band who suffered all these years under the embargo and the sanctions and the regime, if we just reach the lowest position in the UK charts our dream would come true,” he said. “Once we get there, with more help from big record companies, we could get to number one. I’m sure of that.”
I want an Iraqi Metal Band.
I’ve been wanting to get a new Sayno 8100, a camera phone. I checked the C’ville sprint store (who had them, but couldn’t give a current customer the $100 rebate) and The H’burg Sprint PCS store (only had a really ugly white and lavender phone, but said they would call me as soon as they got a silver one). Then I looked at their website.
First thing is the URL for a phone’s page in their store is 615 characters long. What kind of crack monkey web dev thinks that’s ok do to? The goal of life now should be really short perama links, URLs as UI, URLs as UI.
Then you can order the phone and they say that you can get $100 dollar rebate, but then they have no information about what the conditions of the rebate is for (only new customers? everyone?).
And last of all, no where to pick the color of their phone. You think I’m being picky about the phone color, but you have to see the 3 possible color schemes to know what I mean, white and lavender, blue and gold, and silver. … google is failing to find a picture of the other two, here’s the silver version, which I want.
SprintPCS’s comment page allows you to send them and email with questions and promises to get back to you in 24 hours. Mine went out at 12:24, and the clock is ticking.
The reason I want this phone is to jump on the cam phone blogging bandwagon. I hope to start another section of this site to post all pictures to, and bump the good ones to the front page as well. I’m thinking “A Day in the Life of Myers Carpenter”. Gripping I know. Remember this site is not for you the reader, but future me, the reader, to remember how lame I am.
I played with one phone in the store, and it looks like you could take a picture and email it in under 10 seconds. AND include a voice memo. I bet you couldn’t run ViaVoice over the voice memo and get good results, which is really too bad. I have the ViaVoice SDK so I might give it a try. Otherwise is the mega slow T-9 keypad for text. I want a color Palm based phone (so I can write apps for it in !Java), that has a keyboard like a Hiptop, built in cam, and uses CDMA AND GPRS.
Laura’s brother is in El Salvador with the Peace Core. Laura and I hooked him up with a blog: AdventuresOfBob.com, and he’s been posting to it lately. We are still doing some work on it, for example I want to make the site look like and Indiana Jones poster
Laura also has a blog, but I don’t think she has been thinking about it.
He writes really, really long posts about what’s going on there. And he’s been adding pictures to it as well.
We are planning to visit him in October. Tickets are cheap (~$300/person)
Which reminds me I need to burn Bob some CD’s of mp3’s he wanted (he only has 33.6 connection on a shared phone line). I remember what it was like to be in media starvation while I lived in PNG. I need to keep remembering so I will get my act together and mail the CD’s to him.
Also, does anyone out there are a Spanish Windows 98 license they are not using any more?
