Thursday = Scrubs day. 9 PM Pacific on NBC. Watch it, or else.
Looks like their killing off Laverne though (did I spell that right?). BOO!! Bad NBC! Bad! *smacks* She was funny :(
So, more randomness, the power went out the other day for like an hour. The wind was really kicking up nicely, according to weather.com it averaged just shy of 20mph with gusts of 30mph. So, since the power was out, got out my camera and decided to fiddle around with some RAW shooting. We had a bunch of candles lit, so it was perfect. And OMFG, the pics were awesome. I converted a couple to TIFF (in RAW form they were 17 megs.... in TIFF, 70 megs), and I'd upload them if it weren't for the fact that I'd get bombarded with hatemail. I don't think people want to load a 70 meg image in their browser...
The detail was amazing though. Absolutely no noise whatsoever, every small detail was captured, the exposure was just right, finally I got it right :P
Ok, so, leaving the subject of my leet camera, I need a 12 step program for Battlefield 2142, I'm becoming addicted. I've started playing as Assault, and just unlocked the Voss yesterday. Run, gun, and revive a few teammates along the way... tons and tons of points whored in such a small period of time, can't beat that. Now to unlock the Baur... 4 ranks away, craptastic.
As far as Eve goes, for the moment I'm not doing much in there. Training Destroyers to 5 to prep my char for interdictors, YARR. Beware, Gistii-fitted Crow's from hell! YOUR TIME IS NEAR! You too, haulers filled with goodies.
As far as music goes, I'm gonna be very happy very soon. April has a new DJ Tiesto album. May has the new Linkin Park album (so I like LP, fuck off) and the new Thrice albums. Sometime this summer, a new Sum 41 album. And, if there is a God, he'll give is the new Radiohead album sometime this year too. Lot'sa good music, YAY!
And now, moving on to something totally unrelated to anything I've ever mentioned in an MSN convo or a post here. I was reading through some old archives of misc places I visit, and I stumbled upon a little article discussing chips in humans, similar to that like we have in our dog's.
It seems a good bit of people are against the idea. Why, exactly? I'm looking at it like this: a little chip inside your neck or whatever that contains essential information about you. You're name, any allergies, medications your on, that sorta stuff. Imagine for instance, you're in a car accident and you're unconscious. The paramedics arrive and quickly treat you. But the stuff your going to give you, either conflicts with your prescription medications, or you're allergic to it. You're screwed. ut what if they could run a scanner past your neck and get all that information, and give you an alternative instead? The same applies for treatment in the hospital.
I can see it also helping in identifying bodies as well. Found a dumped body that has no ID? The police could just run a quick scanner right there, and know who the victim is, their family, any criminal record, etc.
What if you're child was kidnapped? I doubt you'd mind a chip in their neck if it also had a GPS in the chip.
The list of potential benefits goes on and on. I can see how some people would be paranoid about Big Brother watching them and all that, but I think all that is vastly out-weighed by the potential benefits. Just something to think about I guess.
And that'll do for today's post. Outta here now!
