I think this is actually how (stupid) bills get signed into law. Maybe ad a lobbyist or two into the mix as well. Brilliant!

Turn your speakers down for this one…… crude language, in case some of you are sensitive to that s$@!t.

Catch 22
Some of you who take interest in my transatlantic journey know how I’m aspiring to become a fear-mongering/freedom-loving citizen of this wonderful land. And lately it seems that the only thing obstructing my goal, is US Immigration. This of course is a little like saying that the only thing standing in between you and a Nobel Price is your abnormally- low, Forrest-Gump-like IQ.
So today, I received a letter from Immigration telling me how I missed my interview appointment with them a few days ago, that I never knew I had. All because the letter with that information never reached me. I picked up the phone and called them to clear things up and reschedule another appointment.
The number provided was, as one might suspect, to a convoluted automated phone system with 543 menu options, none of which were in any way related to why I was calling. I randomly navigated around for a while and after having the phone system hang up on me 3 times, I finally managed to stumble my way through to a sub-sub-sub-sub-sub menu option closely resembling something that might be related to whatever it is I thought I might have been calling for, 10 hours earlier when I started dialing.

The Love for Songsmith
I posted a “infomercial” of Microsoft Songsmith a while back, and since it surfaced, tons of clips have surfaced on youtube of people that ran vocals of real songs through the software to have it generate the instrumentation. Hilarious results followed…..
How about Roxanne by the Police …. by Songsmith:

Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day
Who knew there was such a thing…. (?!)
The internet makes me smile sometimes. Not sure if this is real or not, but I have little to write about lately, so I’m just filling the void.

Password cracker
We, as most other people these days, have a computer at home. And our son and daughter sometimes like to play with it. Surf some kid sites, or just play music on iTunes, or whatever. Once in a while however, we lock it (the good ol’ ctrl-alt-delete) to prevent the kids from messing with it too much when we have important things we’re working on at the moment.
This of course, is not very popular. Especially with our son. He just can’t stand the fact that there is a password to access the computer that he doesn’t know. So, the questions keep coming: “What is the password?”, “Why can’t you tell me?”, etc, etc. And when it becomes obvious to him that I’m not going to tell him this time either, he starts his brute force attack. I see words such as: “administratoror” (misspelled), our last name and his first name, random object names visible from where he’s sitting like “pen” and so on. It seems to me he’s trying his first dictionary attack. I feel proud.
OMG! I think I want to stick sharp objects in my eyes and ears right now! Microsoft marketing department doesn’t dissapoint, yet again.
