Whenever I come back from a bathroom break at work, I always try to jump up and touch the ceiling in the hallway. For the first time ever, I actually made contact and successfully smacked one of the tiles with the tips of my fingers. So, despite the obvious fact that white men can’t jump, I am now light enough and strong enough to hit the ceiling. So this is a personal accomplishment, albeit a meaningless one since I have no idea how high the ceiling actually is.

Some teens are damn idiots!
Imagine, if you will, the following dramatization. The sun shines through the wispy branches that overhang the golden sand and fragments of light bounce wildly off the ripples of the pond. Laughter and squeals of delight can be heard as children splash each other in waist-deep water. Some parents wade in up to their ankles and others sun themselves on beach towels and blankets. A butterfly floats overhead on the warm breeze.
Then, screams. A commotion. A half dozen parents scurry through the water to a woman who is crying. A motionless floating body is scooped out of the water and pulled to shore. Some people scream for help. Some people dial 911. Some people hurriedly look around for the lifeguard.
Two teenage girls in bright red one-piece bathing suits stand helpless off to one side. They are as frightened and confused as everyone else but are quite puzzled as to why parents keep staring at them and yelling to them to help. On their bright red bathing suits is the word LIFEGUARD emblazoned in white serif with a small coast guard logo. Finally, a frenzied Father runs over, grabs the two of them, and drags them over to the scene to help.

Friday Five
So this is my first Friday Five. I feel so…conformist…
1. How much time do you spend online each day? It’s my job. Really. That, and reading Maxim and Seventeen. 6-10 hours per day. But, technically, I’m online 24/7 since I’ve got corporate SDSL at home.
2. What is your browser homepage set to? The one you’re reading right now.
3. Do you use any instant messaging programs? If so, which one(s)? All of them. Again, it’s my job.
4. Where was your first webpage located? Off my own personal Linux box back in 1994 sitting on a 14.4Kbps C/SLIP line. My first official Web site was www.newhackcity.net which has now been taken over by an army of unicorns.
5. How long have you had your current website? Which one? Going on 9 years now for my first site.
