Things to do today

So while I’m gathering up some info for some upcoming blog posts I figured I would post some things that I need to get done today. I’m going to post 6 things that I need to start or accomplish today.

  • Work - Need to Learn VMWare and Share Point and create some virtual servers.
  • Go to the bank before the wife hurts me :)
  • Blog about something new
  • Coach soccer for 2 hours
  • Figure out contest giveaway to hopefully start this wed.
  • More VMWare work.

Does anyone have important things they need to accomplish today?

UPDATE:
Emergency @ work and now I get to install and play with quickbooks Enterprise..  I don’t want to delay this either since it’s almost payday..  lol

Uh oh - I just realized

That in IE7 (internet explorer) that my side bars to the right are not working.

Can anyone please test this for me and let me by comment. Firefox works no problem.

It could just be my laptop..

thanks

UPDATE:
I just found them, it’s a layout issue.  Guess I get to work on something else today..

New Layout, well maybe

Later today I will be messing around with some new layouts, etc.  I have one in mind that I want to go with but we will see how it looks live..  Not that I have many readers at this point anyways, but wanted to give a heads up as things might look different sooner than later…

I’m trying to get away from having a dark theme.  I liked it at first but really doesn’t fit me, so hence the change.

Late night munchies turn ugly

OK so your up late and want to get a bite to eat already.. So you drive down or to your local Taco Bell, and decide yep TB it is and you get in the drive through lane.. Right?

So while your deciding what you want the car in front you of is taking way too long, so what do you do? Your hungry right and don’t want to wait? Check out what this person decided to do last night…

blurb:
Shortly after midnight, a couple in a Jeep Cherokee were waiting behind the teens at the restaurant near the 3200 block of Old Mill Road. “The suspect gets a little upset at the amount of time it’s taking to make the order in the drive-through,” Dallas police Lt. Sally Lannom said. “So they start honking horns at each other.”

The driver of the Jeep followed the teens across the street where they had parked to eat, police said. At some point, the Jeep struck the teens’ pickup, and people from both vehicles got out and began to fight.

Police said the Jeep’s driver, who is about 19 years old, pulled out a knife and stabbed 17-year-old Keesean Walker in the chest and 18-year-old Dionta Williams in the arm.

I’m not sure about you, but when I get impatient waiting for fast food, I usually don’t think about stabbing the person.

Blown up Sex Offender may be linked to a homicide!

I just got back home and was reading some comments and went to check some things out and now according to news sources (King5) that Zane Dittman who was recently blown to pieces now may be connected to a homicide at a local construction site.

They are saying that he possibly worked at the construction site where they found a body back on Monday.

Here is a blurb from King5:
On Tuesday, Dittman, 25, was killed after the top floor of the Puyallup, Wash. home where he was living exploded, showering debris up to 100 yards away. Pierce County investigators say residents called 911 after they found Dittman making bombs.

The day before, a construction worker at an office building found a man’s bloody body on the site at 7th and Madison in Seattle. Investigators ruled it a homicide. The King County Medical Examiner identifies the victim as 25-year-old Noel Richard Lopez. His injuries included subdural hemorrhaging, multiple rib fractures and blunt force injuries to the head and torso.

According to construction workers at Monday’s murder scene in Seattle, Dittman used to work at the site, but they were told by their bosses not to speak with KING 5 News.
***************************

So we will have to wait and see. Maybe he killed him and then went home to make more bombs and one went off?? Who knows, and we might never know.

I will try and keep an eye on this and post an update..

Felon Blows Up Self

An interesting news story came about while up here in Seattle and it’s pretty shocking.

Looks like a registered sex offender came home last night close to midnight with a duffle bag full of explosive bombs. Neighbors heard some heavy metal music and then BOOM.!!!! The top floor of the house blew off…

Zane Dittman, 26, of course is in pieces.

Listening to King5 (Local Media) they were interviewing the person that rented out the house to Dittman, and said that more kids may not be touched now and this death will benefit the community.. NICE..!!!

Update:
Picture of Zane

Mean Girls

Watching the video really makes me sick. Watching the poor girl being pack beat up is pretty sickening. I’m sure the video doesn’t show the extent of damage she inflicted but wow she was taking some shots. Watching the bail hearing video on Nancy Grace shows all the girls with their heads down looking all sad. They sure didn’t look that way putting the smack down on the girl.

So let me see if I have this right.
I think they are all getting charged with:
* Witness Tampering
* Kidnapping
* Aggravated Battery

The Victim:
* Concussion
* Two Black Eyes
* Left Ear Hearing Loss
* Left Eye Vision Loss
* Unconsciousness

I sure hope they get the max as an adult for these crimes.

Oh how could I forget… They all posted bail at 10% of bail so they each got out of jail for about $3500 each. And not to mention the Dr. Phil show bail bonding out Mercedes Nichols.

Smoking + Oxygen = ???

So I was cracking up this morning as I was laying in bed watching the news avoiding what I really had to do which was to get up and get ready for work.  I like to procrastinate doing that.

So the news popped on and talked about this lady who’s couch caught fire because she was smoking.  Here is a little part of the news article (nbc5i.com):
“The woman tried to extinguish the fire herself before calling 911. Firefighters said they found her overcome from smoke inhalation and administered CPR before taking her to the hospital in critical condition.”

But here is the really interesting part..  She was smoking while on an oxygen tank.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HELLO…  I think she is pretty luckly to be alive and not in a ton of pieces in her living room…

And one last thing, she didnt have a smoke alarm installed so the guy that was renting a room had no idea that there was a problem.
