I was looking at a spammer trying to attach comments to this link, and it gave me a chance to think about travels since that point two and a half years ago.  Mostly, as winter sets in here in Washington, it made me think about California, traveling through Big Sur, watching the sun go down over the Pacific, and the sound of breeze through palm trees.

Life is a series of connected memories, and the best ones are the simple ones you can think about again and again and they are always enjoyable.

Woot seems a little ornery today.

You can never have enough coffee mugs, that’s what I always say.  I wooted a few, in case I forget to get someone something for Christmas.

I love the caption on their picture, by the way.  If you don’t regularly shop on Woot, you should at least go there once in a while to read their ad copy each day.  Their writers have both a great sense of humor and way too much time on their hands.

Watch Michael J. Fox Show Off the Nike Air Mag on Letterman.

Very cool.  It’s almost time for Marty McFly to pop in from 1985.  Yet, no flying cars.

Maryland is a tough state to purchase quality beverages in, especially if you like trying new things.  Montgomery County is an even tougher county in the middle of this tough state.  Residents finally have some relief, after a long, long, hard battle with retail beverage interests who spend a lot of money on elections.

William Shatner wakes up shuttle Discovery crew | Hero Complex – Los Angeles Times.

Great story, and a funny tie in to Star Trek given that just today I used “Spock’s Brain” in a reference at work.

And, William Shatner is still a hero of mine.

Jumper cables from woot, July 21, 2010

Wooted today. Jumper cables. Nice, new, clean ones, one for each car. And, can’t hook them up wrong, they automatically adjust polarity using magic.

Plus, they are blue.  Blue is always good.

Bazinga T-Shirt from ThinkGeek

The first T-Shirt I’ve felt like buying in 20 years!

In truth, there are a ton of great T-shirts on the ThinkGeek web site, as well as lots of other cool things.  I work at a place where some of there products are used.  Well, at least by a small handful of people looking for distractions in the day from time to time.

Mark the date.  We saw one yesterday, but it wasn’t blinking so it doesn’t count.
