Thoughts on a Couple of Conscious Coincidences

I don't really know about the conscious part but I was dying for the alliteration so just work with me. I have two pretty funny little coincidences to tell you about. Two is the quantity that equals a couple by the way. But I digress...there I was walking the parking lot of Target, a situation I find myself in more often than not, when upon grabbing a stray cart I find a 20 dollar bill. Target is chill, as they allow you to listen to music while working, one headphone only of course so I can hear the walkie talkie. Did I mention that by the way, the whole you get your own walkie talkie thing? Feel infinitely more important when you have your own walkie talkie. Anyways, I am jamming out to a favorite song of mine, Money by Choking Victim. The odds of finding a 20 dollar bill are pretty low as is, but the chances of finding one while listening to a song called Money. So I do the right thing and turn the 20 dollar bill into my boss. Work the rest of the day away and retire to my bed with laptop in hand.
I pass most of the time I am not working with Stumble! So there I am stumbling away when suddenly my computer freezes up....RAINBOW WHEEL OF DEATH.....Warning! A script on this website is unresponsive...It is causing problems...blah blah blah...Quit Firefox...reboot.... Now I am sure this has happened to everyone once or twice so why do I consider it to be a coincidence, well, the website I stumbled upon, the one with the Firefox crashing script on it? MIT- Introduction to Computer Science Online Curriculum. You would think MIT could code a website properly, but I guess not...



You thought I was going to put Money by CV didn't you!

Thoughts on: New Design

I am a complete and total idiot. I have had this blog for a few months now, and despite some very small changes,  I have done nothing in the way of aesthetic improvement. While this could be the cause of any number of things: laziness, lack of free time or even computer ineptitude. Unfortunately for me the the cause is stupidity, on my specifically. From the blogspot "dashboard" I would click on the Designer Template tab and launch the niffty Designer app. From this point everything failed. The Designer would never load, none of the buttons would work, and the ones that did work warned me that they did not apply to my blog. I was very troubled by this, I posted on the help forum and tried every day for a week. I reset my router, refreshed the page and even restarted my computer. None if it worked and I eventually gave up for a while.  Now I have a wonderful Firefox add-on know as AdBlocker that valiantly protects me from ads on an almost hourly basis. As a eventually figured out, it also was protecting me from the horrible Blogspot Designer Template. Opened up a Safari window and Taa Daa...New Fonts and a cool red background. I am pretty pleased with the new look of the blog...hope you all like it as well.
Getting real close to 100 page views!  woot!

Here is a song in celebration of the wonderful new background...
