P90X

I am starting P90X on the 1st of November. It is going to get split by Christmas break but it's just something that I will need to adapt into the phases. I can't wait to post the before and after pictures.

Time Machine using a NAS

hdiutil create -size 300g -fs HFS+J -type SPARSEBUNDLE -volname "Backup of MacBook" MacBook_001122334455.sparsebundle
- makes a 300gigabyte sparse bundle. Computer name is MacBook and 001122334455 is the MAC address.

-Mount the NAS share then

cp -r MacBook_001122334455.sparsebundle /Volumes/NASShare
-copy the MacBook_001122334455.sparsebundle file to the share called NASShare.

Run backup. That's it.

Sweet!

If Mc Cain is president, I will get one of those nuke-lar powered cars. Apparently, we are no longer using oil when he gets elected.

Wow! On NBC , they had a panel of Virginia voters. Fifty percent believes that people will not vote for Obama because he is black. Fifty percent believe that people in Virginia are racists. The entire panel said they think people wouldn't vote for Mc Cain because of Palin. It's not because she's a woman, it's because of something else.

MacBook

Just as with my Mac mini... now Apple has released the new MacBook a few months after I bought my MacBook.  The aluminum & glass is so pretty.  I wonder how much I can get for my MacBook on EBay?

Fin de semana

I played golf with Darwin and John yesterday. It was a three-man scramble format. It was called the Ball Buster tournament because of the terrible hole placement, I think. The greens were already aerated for the off season. We won first place (tier 2). Our team got $190 which pretty much paid for the golf and some. I ended up buying John's Taylor Made driver with my winnings. The teams were split in two groups and we won tier 2. We were really 13th place. We scored par for the course. The winners got 6 under par. I got the Honda back, it looks like it got a face lift. Its got 170K miles under its belt and now it can go around town sans the rust and dents.

Today is an even better day than yesterday. Nohemi and I were going to go apple picking at Gull Meadow Farms but ended up leaving when we got there. The place was packed! A lot of people had the same idea. Instead, we went for a drive. The ride was first to Richland then towards Plainwell. A brief stop at Plainwell Ice Cream. I had the Orange Pineapple. Nohemi had a couple of scoops of the Island Fudge. Then we headed towards Otsego. Turned somewhere that became Ravine Road in Kalamazoo. Headed west on KL until it ended.Turned north for a little then ended up on M40 going towards Marcellus. Found our way back to US131 and headed back home. A couple of hours of driving around aimlessly and having a long, wonderful conversation is the reason why I love the Miata.

Fall Ball Buster 2008

We won 1st place.

Eagle Eye

Apparently, even the most complex computer system ever designed in the history of man still falls into the Hollywood villain trap of over complicated methods to kill the hero. Okay, in this case the computer was trying to kill the president. It had control of Predator UAVs that were armed with air to surface missiles. You would think, control a squadron of those. Make all persuing F16 pilot eject. Locate the target. Shot missiles. Game over. Movie finished in a minute and a half. Instead, it made a bunch of diamond cutters make jewelry from a crystalline bomb that is exploded using a sonic trigger. The bomb deployed using a mom wearing a necklace, made by the diamond cutters, while watching her son play the trumpet in a band playing the naitonal anthem. Oh but wait, the trumpet was modified to emit the frequency needed for the sonic trigger!

I am going to see if my master plan will work. I am going to try killing my archnemisis, the chipmunk by farting out the backyard sliding door. In the hope of shooing away the butterfly. The butterfly that will flap its wings, causing a typhoon in Asia and triggering a hurricane to cross the Atlantic. The hurricane will eventually be a storm that will hit Michigan breaking a tree limb which will fall on the chipmunk. Brilliance!!! I is a genius!

Maverick

She's is so well rehearsed... to the point that I already knew her response before she opened her mouth.

This Debate Is Not

I cannot believe I am wasting my time watching this infomercial.

Holocaust

The word holocaust is now a political buzz word to get votes. I guess killing a million Arabs isn't considered holocaust?

Nuke-leyar, eye-rak? Jesus H Christ!

Okay, here's what I have gathered so far. Palin, Mc Cain, & Biden all talk like politicians. I am going to throw up listening to all of the same crap. I don't know what it is but Obama has a much more pleasant vocabulary when speaking publicly.

I just heard about Biden's interventionist approach with regards to genocide. That view alone is enough to get my vote.

Palin has got to stop with the fake perky crap. Enough with the darns and the hells already.

Oh, what war did John Mc Cain war? Apparently all of the world is mistaken that the Vietnam war was a lost war. But Palin thinks we kicked all over there. If she doesn't even know the difference between winning and losing.

Also, saying Iranian, Iraqi and nuclear properly... enough to get my vote. Fuckin' A! I understand military S.O.P. but for fuck's sake it makes us sound like eye-dee-yots.

Dogonit? Seriously? She's trying so hard to be hip. I am sure her pregnant teenage daughter is puking listening to her talk. And it isn't morning sickness.

I Thought This Was A Debate?

Sarah Palin arrogantly made her part of the debate into an infomercial. I guess it is the only way they know how not to make her sound stupid.
