So I fire up Duck Hunt
I fire up Duck Hunt on my new Yobo FC console. I get to level 11 first try. My wife kills a single duck in level 1 first try.
Wow.

According to a recent study, the U.S.A. ranks #40 in annual alcohol consumption. Most European countries drink more than us, with Luxomberg being #1. Their first place finish is attributed to low booze taxes. The article goes on to say that Ireland is #2, but there’s “No such explanation for the Irish” drinking so much. Really, they could have just said “there’s no explanation for the Irish” and left it at that…
We better pick up the pace if we want to beat France next year!

Back from the ether
I got a bounced email back from a mailserver today. This is not too much of a surprise except for the fact that the email was originally sent from my account on Thu, 6 May 2004 16:47:15. I had been emailing the intended recipient around that time and it was a valid email address.
I know that in this day and age we expect immediate results and instant gratification, but I still think that 3 years is a bit excessive to find out that an email did not arrive.

The guy you emailed is dead now, or probably dead, or at least not here and he didn’t leave a forward. I really do feel sorry about this. - Mail server
Auctioning everything
I put a bunch of old textbooks and video games on half.com today and already have sold close to $100 of crap I don’t want. I’m gonna start selling random stuff just to see what garbage I can exchange for money. Maybe I should start frequenting garage sales and buying stuff for a quarter just to see if I can sell it ![]()
