Go MacPro!

I’m rendering Shake and slamming the CPU’s. With the computer at nearly 100% utilization, the performance with other applications is barely impacted.

Drupal Load Balancer

I like this error on the Drupal site.  This is the first time I’ve seen an error with info on the load balancer.

Drupal is a free and open source modular framework and content management system (CMS) written in the programming language PHP.  Like many modern CMSs, Drupal allows the system administrator to create and organize content, customize the presentation, automate administrative tasks, and manage site visitors and contributors.

Spectators watching the fire off Sesnon.  Firefighters were standing in the backyards of these huge houses across the street.  With the high winds over night, thankfully none of the houses were damaged.

Eating The Flintstone’s

They say Flintstone’s vitamins are chewable. All vitamins are chewable, it’s just that they taste shitty. I’m glad they made Flintstone’s vitamins because I used to watch The Flintstones and go, “Man I bet you if I ate that dude, I would be healthy.” — Mitch Hedberg
