Auction time again
The following magazines are up for auction right now:
Maxim Magazine #49 – Jessica Simpson
Maxim Magazine – March 2000, Jenny McCarthy
Maxim Magazine – 11/99, Jennifer Love Hewitt
Maxim Magazine – 02/01 – Denise Richards
I have many more issues of Maxim magazine that I’m going to list at some point, but since these are among the most desirable issues (based on my research on eBay, anyway) I figured it wouldn’t hurt to let a few more people know that I’m selling them.
Sometime this weekend, I hope to list some stuff for a friend – including some stereo equipment and some golf clubs. I’ll try to link to them from here too – there’s no such thing as too much exposure…. in most cases, anyway

Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness.
Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness.
Thereby you can be the director of the opponent’s fate.

Glad it’s never happened to me – but with the way our ants are, I’m sorta surprised…. -

Less blog, more filling?
There’s a reason I haven’t been around much: our upstairs bathroom. I put more primer down on the concrete floor of my office on Monday night. It had been raining all day, and continued to the next day. Why do I mention this? Well the floor only just finished drying tonight.
So, in the meantime, to make an even bigger mess of the house, I decided to do the bathroom. Paint the ceiling, walls and trim, and then replace the vent/light.
Only, when I went to buy the fan, it was too small – but that was good. Turns out, all I really needed was a new heating element and a new exhaust fan motor, and all was right in the world again. I painted the enclosure for that too, just so it would match.
Then the wife decided that we should get new cabinets. She didn’t like the 1950′s style medicine cabinets, so we went back to the shrine of the contractor and bought the stuff.
Now I have an almost finished office and a mostly finished bathroom. A little more pain, some cabinet hanging, and then I have to re-caulk the bath tub. Oh joy.
But that’s the reason I haven’t been around much – otherwise, all I do all day is try to find a job, take care of the kids, and check my email*. Oh, and try not to eat everything in the house.
(*Usually in that order, but sometimes the email comes first. Or even the kids. Hey, what can I say – I’m super-dad

If you calculate your power to be less than that of the opponent, then strengthen your defense, do not go out and get your edge snapped.

Political correctness gone too far?
a small victory – the gentle art of making enemies
I haven’t seen Tora! Tora! Tora! yet, but it’s on my list – I’ve heard good things about it. But when you cancel the showing of this movie – which was “a joint American and Japanese production” – to be sensitve to the Japanese-American community, then I don’t think you really know what you’re doing.
Sure, I wasn’t involved (or even born) in WW II, but it seems to me that the men and women who were at Pearl Harbor, and who fought in the Asian theatre during the war, just might find this showing helpful. If you’re going to do anything on December 7, it should be to pay some sort of tribute to the people that died that day – not to be sensitive to the people who are alive today. The men and women who died during the attacks, and the men who fought during the war lived through something that will hopefully never again be experienced, and that needs to be remembered. ALWAYS. -

There's a reason they don't accept submissions…
Sonoma artist claims ‘Monsters, Inc.’ a rip-off / Suit says eyeball character Mike was based on his own creation
If you try to send a manuscript to a movie studio, they’ll send it back unopened – because they know if they open it, read it, tell you no and then produce a movie even remotely similar, then they’re screwed.
Should be an interesting court case.

How embarrassing if you hadn’t made it to 100%!
