So Now Donovan is a screaming 4 year old with the attitude to match! Well, I guess his birthday party was a rousing success (you would think I would know, but alas I was holed up in the Hospital... again)he got tons of toys and we even rented one of those inflatable bouncy rooms for the weekend, which I know was a success.

Many thanks go out to the fam for the contributions to the gifts- as his bike and his new Fire Jeep are a HUGE hit and we may have finally found his currency. He almost didn't get his bike, the guy who runs the local bike shop was sick that week, and was finally in the shop on Friday - so we just made it.

I posted a couple of pics in the photo section as well - but not too much as of yet...

Darth Vader will beat you

Okay, so I'm not sure how the heck they do this, but it is very cool; and actually quite creepy at the same time. Burger King has awesome Advertising Agency working for them. Sithsense.com is the second site developed for Burger King that really has absolutely nothing to do with them. The first, the subservient chicken, was hilarious. Why the heck you would want to control a dude in a chicken suit, I don't know, but it was funny.

Jumping on the Star Wars band wagon like this seems to be the latest fad, but so far, this site is the best I have seen of all of the folks who yet. The next closest is the M&Ms commercial, but I think they only did 1 commercial, and then left it at that - not too smart. They could have gone nuts with it and made it really funny. They did do a goony little subsite though...

If Burger King continues with this sort of ad campaign, they are going to rank right up there with Outpost.com with their original commercials.

I guess this is sorta the price of Internet fame. The curse of getting more traffic to your site is the comment spammer idiots who have nothing better to do than attempt to inflate traffic to their complete shite websites. This really pisses me off actually.

I don't, nor do any of my readers give a flying rats arse about your lousy angelfire sites, or your Internet poker site so crappy that it doesn't show up in any search engines. Maybe you should try and get traffic the good old fashioned way? You know by building a quality site that people will go to and get other sites to recommend and praise? Just because you have Frontpage and found some software to download that accepts money to a Paypal account doesn't mean you have a website.

A page on the Internet does not a website make.

Rest assured losers, currently under development are ways to make your spamming lives more difficult, so if you really want to spam, you will have to jump through a couple of hoops to do it. And when that fails, because it will to some extent, the almighty delete button next to your comments will do the trick.

Oh yeah, I know all your stinkin' IPs too. Yeah that means you folks in California, New York and Florida too.

So my Birthday is tomorrow, and I know what I got.

I just ordered it from Newegg.com and it should be here next week sometime. So I'm one step closer to building my new world domination super computer!!!!!

If you remember, I first posted this a while ago predicting I would buy it - so as usual I was right. So at this time I wish to thank my Family for enabling me in my geekdome.

Happy Birthday to me!

Kids are weird. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. And it's really sorta funny to see Dylan take such pleasure in chewing on his squirty gator in the tub. he thought this was the bees knees.

Thanks Grandma - much entertainment to be had from this little squirt.

I just picked this up the other day, and I started building it tonight with Donovan, and I have to say it is the most complex Lego I have built to date. It has 858 pieces, and I only got this far (about 1/2 way through the book) in 2 hours. Granted, it isn't the most efficient way to build with a 4 year old as my wingman - but it is fun. He gets a kick out of it; since he gets to help Daddy - and I find extremely therapeutic.

I just renewed myself with the Lego club site, and I am thinking of joining the Brickmasters. The brickmaster is the pay side of the club, but you get a bit of bang for your buck. The coolest thing is the LEGO Digital Designer Software - so you can design your own creations, then print out instructions.

I have quite new collection of Legos growing, and I know what I want for Christmas this year already. So everyone listen up! I only want the Imperial Star Destroyer Ultimate Collectors set. That's it. I know it's expensive - but if everyone pitches in, I will be able to cough up the remainder.

So Donovan & I will finish up the Mars Rover tomorrow; I'll let you know how it goes.
