A few weeks ago I accidentally let my domain registration for dreid.org drop. So tonight I went to look at my statistics and I found some interesting things. First off, the Tweet+Growl thing got a lot of traffic, even though Ted Leung beat me to it by like 2 months. Second I’m got hit by the search string “Glamorous Apparel.”So I decided to google it and discovered that I was #3.But I wasn’t really #3, the Godaddy placeholder page was #3.I am particularly amused by this because with the exception of the Che MacGuyver shirt, the new Penguin Slide shirt Jen just made for me, and my fine hats. None of my apparel could ever be considered glamorous.

Pork Like A Tyrant Day is tomorrow. It’s supposed to be the opposite of Talk Like A Pirate day (I’m not exactly sure how they got to Pork Like A Tyrant, but I’m sure glad they did. After all it combines two of my favorite things. Porking, and tyranny.

I haven’t really gotten into the video podcast thing, but this piece of software will probably change that.

I’ve been in MN for a week. Well not quite a week, last Wednesday Jen and I flew to Chicago early in the morning, we spent the day and night in Chicago then on Thursday we drove through Wisconsin to MN. Luckily the night before I had purchased John Hodgman’s The Area Of My Expertise as an Audio Book. Which provided us with a spectacular 6 or so hours (without the Hobo Names) of entertainment. We stayed at Jen’s mom’s house, and spent a lot of time with Jen’s best friend ever Beth (a spectacular girl.) On Saturday I Jen tricked me into going to a wedding. Which was fine I guess, if you like loud country music in moose lodge for a wedding reception. On Sunday we went to the Mall of America with Beth, and it was awesome. There was pretty decent sushi for the middle coast. On monday we went to Beth’s mom’s house, and then went out for pie and I tried not to die. I was successful in this endevour. Today we went to the mall of america again where I bought the Macbook pro previously mentioned. And also had more pie and spent some time with Derrick. All in all it was not a very spectacularly interesting week unless you were here to enjoy it. Which you weren’t.

Because my girlfriend really needed a laptop for this next week in MN and I really need one because well I really need one. I went out and bought a 15″ MacBook Pro 2.33ghz Core 2 Duo. It’s pretty ‘fing sweet.
