Hotlinking

I really hate when people hotlink to images on my site. I always download the image then upload it to my own server before I ever place it online.  I’m sure many people don’t even know what they’re doing but ignorance doesn’t change the fact that it eats bandwidth I pay for.  Now you will get this when hotlinking to photos on my site:

nohotlink

It’s a small file, about 3k, so it’ll eat less bandwidth and will provide no benefit to anyone.  If you want to use an image please download it then upload it to your own server before referencing it on your site, forum, blog, or whatever.  You can get yourself a Flicker account or something like photobucket where you can put your own images and then hotlink to them there.

Good-time Girl

I can only hope this is true…

…THAT although we didn’t think it would be possible to silence Ann Coulter, the leggy reactionary broke her jaw and the mouth that roared has been wired shut . . .

Forgiven

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - The Vatican’s newspaper has finally forgiven John Lennon for declaring that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, calling the remark a “boast” by a young man grappling with sudden fame.

Wow, an organization that knowingly protected child rapists has forgiven Lennon for something he doesn’t need forgiven for.  And he’s not even alive to defend himself.

Sometimes reality is too stupid to be real.

New Faucet

This is what I spent my entire Sunday on week before last.  Ain’t it a beaut?

Let’s Get to Work

The results are in and I’m pretty excited; Obama will be the next U.S. president.  I can’t say for certain he’ll turn things around but I was willing to give him a chance and see how he does.  Over the past couple years Republicans have taken a beating and last night was no exception.  Hopefully the Republicans can take their party back from religious extremists because they’re killing it right now.  They have potential; Lincoln was a Republican and he was a Deist so they weren’t always so crazy.

I kinda feel a little sorry for McCain.  He’s 72 years old and has been running like mad for this campaign.  I don’t really dislike McCain, I just think that he wasn’t the guy for the job this time.  Palin is a psycho; I don’t feel badly at all about her not getting in.  That would have been …read more »

Orson & Me at the Sculpture Park

Orson and I took a quick trip to the Laumeier Sculpture Park this past weekend.  The weather was great, the leaves were turning, and we had a great time!

Election Day

My ballot has been cast and now it’s time to sit back and wait.  Traci and I went around 7:00 a.m. and we only waited about 20 minutes.  I’m hearing the wait is much longer now.  Looks like we must have lucked out.

The Boys

We went to the Sculpture Park yesterday to collect leaves for Orson’s homework assignment.  We took the camera along and snapped this pic of the boys and me.

Microsoft Bested Again

After Microsoft’s lame-ass attempt to revive the embattled image of Vista through not-so-clever (nor successful) advertising, Apple has bounced back with two new commercials.  This proves that once again, no matter what you actually think about Apple’s products, their advertising still reigns supreme.
