Fool In The Rain MP3

Just finished a wet round of golf at Hollydale - the score (51) wasn't as bad as last time, but I putted (23) for absolute shit. Is it sad that I'm constantly thinking about things to blog about, even if I'm in the middle of a birdie putt? I sorta think so, so hopefully I will soon be able to resist that new blog smell...

Last week, a suspender-wearing intern started work in the cubicle farm row next to mine. I'm not sure what his deal is, but for some reason the fact that he wears suspenders every day gives me this creepy "I'm better than you" vibe - frankly, it pisses me off. If it wasn't for the Doughboy clip that Muck sent me today, I would have probably tried to pick a fight with the poor kid. Instead, I spent some time this morning explaing the systems at work to our group's suspenderless intern, which felt really weird since I was our group's intern a mere 3 summers ago.

I wanted to point out a few new features of "The Myth"

• Links to my MSN and AIM screennames
  
• An Atom XML site feed, which allows you to use an aggregator to read multiple blogs in one place
  
• Search tool for previous postings & comments, provided by Atomz
  
• Yummy delicious Google food, better known as links to websites I think you should check out
  

The Wall Street Journal had an interesting article today about the prevelance and lack of security of WiFi networks, including a nifty map of one San Francisco neighborhood. FYI, our apartment's network is called "sophie," but uses |337 MAC address filtering to bloXor 3vil h@x0rs.

|337 Word: |@m3
Pronounced: lame
Defined: All we're doing here is using the |337 equivelants of L, A and E, but I think it looks sweet.

• Wow you're a bad golfer! I like to hit the ball as many times as possible. That way you get the most bang for your buck.
  
  I was really writing because I knew a suspender guy once. I tried to like him for who he was rather than what he wore, and found that THE SAME GOES FOR ALL PEOPLE! Who the heck are you to judge someone based on what they wear? Maybe he doesn't have all 46 magazine subscriptions that you currently have, with one entire magazine devoted to what you should wear to work during an internship at a company who's acquired brand mascot craps themself! (c'mon... I know mascots!) All I'm trying to say is not to be so hard on the guy simply because he can't keep his pants up.
  
  Example:
  If this guy had taken the same suspender philosophy as your coworker, some family would'a been robbed blind.
  
  I still love your suspender-hatin' self.
