Nothing, nothing, nothing
Just because it was trendy, I got the DDR pad, but being too cheap to buy DDR, I set up StepMania. After tracking down device drivers, installing, troubleshooting, mapping keys, installing songs, finally I rested my fingers and let my son do the dancing.

He found it very frustrating to see each song end with "FAILURE!" It reminds me of the old computer errors: "FATAL ERROR! YOU'RE GONNA DIE WHEN YOUR BOSS SEES WHAT YOU DID TO THIS OH SO EXPENSIVE COMPUTER! NOW READ THIS HEX AND WEEP FOR YOUR SOUL! Error 0x34FA"

Also, today I learned a little about Blerg. It seems to be a purple monster with horns. Or a bad day. I'm not sure yet. Google wasn't sure either. Well, blerg it, I'm just going to use it as an expletitive.

Since santa brought me my digital camera, my next creative plan is to make a photographic comic book using comic book creator and the Gimp. Have I time to do this? Well, maybe if it gets me fired... My son's been putting together his Christmas legos and we've been taking pictures. It wasn't too hard to do close up shots once I read the manual. Like most lego comics artists, I'm going to have to use Gimp to add in the blood, guts and blerg.

In other news, Melissa submitted for CVS! A very good submission, too! I think all I contribute in the way of critique here is routine praise.

I've been sort of writing, if you can call jumbled blogging writing. I now have, count them, 1, 2, 3, 4,
active blogs. Soon I will be more famous than Robert Scobble! Well OK--a narrow group of geeks know who he is, and he's published a real dead tree book.

So, time for a quiz to see if you were paying attention or just skimming. What does blerg mean? Hmm? Louder? I don't think that is quite right--

FAILURE!
