Tyler. ( 2001 – 2006 )

By rob | January 8, 2006

Tyler, my first cat, had to be put to sleep today as a result of throwing a blood clot which cut off or restricting circulation to his back end, causing various problems. Cats in this situation, while they can be treated with blood thinners and such, typically only have a very short — perhaps a month — time to live.

He had a heart mumor for the past year or so, so I knew that the day would come when something would happen, I just didn’t expect it so soon.

Tyler passed in the presense of those that he loved.

Special thanks to Jacki for being there for Tyler and myself, and my brother for telling me what I needed to know.

UPDATE: Here’s some detail on what exactly happened to Mr. Tyler. Poor guy.

Webpages That Make Noise

By rob | December 15, 2005

Ok, here’s something I totally hate. Webpages that make noise. Specifically, FRONT pages that make noise. Yes, if this is you, you suck.

Some big offenders that I’ve ran into in the past month:

Dollar Rent-A-Car. When you go to their site, the first thing you hear is a loud VROOM VROOM. Yes, a loud VROOM VROOM interrupts the nice music you’ve been listening to. Hey, if I wanted my browser to make noise when I visited a page, I’d turn on it’s stupid soundeffects it can make when you click something.

WBAL TV. When you visit their site, their “instaweather” forcast video starts playing. WITH SOUND. Please, if I wanted to hear you, I’d watch local TV. I don’t. So please stop.

Ok, gripe over.

My First Mashup

By rob | December 11, 2005

So, I finally finished my “first” mashup. The two songs used were “Baby Got Back” and “My Humps.” Yes, Fark would tag with with the big OBVIOUS, however, it was quite fun to throw together.

I will never admit to actually liking either of these songs.

Baby-Got-Hump.

Almost…there…

By rob | November 29, 2005

After a day of finishing up a bunch of cosmetic “5 minute jobs” (that never take 5 minutes), I’ve been told that my house is officially “listed” on the market — though I can’t seem to find it on any of the on-line searches. Took some new interior pictures at request of my agent for the listing this evening which I think show some of the “charm.”
