Another Thursday, another group of soundbites that have caught my eye.

A Bitish woman who works in a muffin factory is suing over her boss wanting to see her boobies. Muffin factory? They have whole factories dedicated to the making of muffins?

Pravda is saying Tatu Duo To Split. Noooooooooo!

Is Prince moving to Canada? Nooooooooooooo!

4-Legged chick born in Delaware. That's a chicken, not a babe. Poor thing will never be able to compete in any 3-legged races.

And if you're tired of trying to find that something special on eBay, try Goth Auctions. It'll appeal to the high school drama nerd in everyone.

Technical Difficulties Begone!

After uninstalling and then reinstalling the webcam software and drivers, I was once again able to save pictures and can thus bring you a new camtoon.

Along the way, I had to re-install EditPad too. Maybe I've managed to get some kind of freaky virus?

Technical Difficulties

07.15.2003

I got everything all ready to make new camtoons last night, and the weirdest thing happened. The camera wouldn't save the picture. I could take video, I could take stop-motion video, streaming videos, but no plain picture. I can see the image through the camera, so I know that it's hooked up.

I don't know if it's time to re-install the camera software. Maybe I've got too many USB devices plugged in (I think I've got about 10 things plugged into 2 hubs). Tonight I've got to switch some things around and see if I can figure out what I've done wrong. With any luck I can fix it and have a camtoon up tomorrow!

It's amazing how I can have so much going on (websites, work, more websites, catching up with Mom and Dr. Blondie over the weekend) and yet have absolutely nothing to say.

Bitterly ironic in some ways.

I think Thursdays are just my days to serve up erraneous news stories I see.

Need to make some extra money? A Palm Beach gas station attendant made over $13,000 in bogus service charges on customer credit cards. My favorite part of this on is how he's being charged with one count of scheme to defraud and 1,379 counts of credit-card fraud. How bad a rap does scheme to defraud carry?

In Daytona Beach, a former stripper is suing Stan Lee & Pamela Anderson because she claims that TNN's Stipperella is based on a concept she discussed with Stan during a private dance. Who's going to discuss comic book characters with an 81 year old man during a private dance? Oh, and she can't remember much about Stan, because shesees a lot of guys.
