Oh, this is cool. [Guess-the-Google](http://grant.robinson.name/projects/guess-the-google/) is a fun game where you are shown a collection of images and have to guess the Google search keyword that generated them. As the site says, it’s surpisingly addictive.
Jay Allen at [The Zero Boss](http://thezeroboss.com/) has created a new blog called [Parents Behaving Badly](http://thezeroboss.com/pbb). Frankly, I don’t know how he does it. An entire blog about disgusting, sad, and pathetic cases of parenting gone horribly wrong? Sure, I don’t want to become that kind of parent, but I’d rather see positive examples, thank you very much.
That said, I had to laugh and agree with his comments in [this post](http://www.thezeroboss.com/pbb/archives/2005/08/to_prevent_kill.html).
Don’t believe everything you think.
It struck me as a very appropriate catch phrase for blogs…
I finally have a bit of time to spend processing photos from my [Rainier trip](http://jay-photo.com/blog/?p=201) and the computer starts acting up. After a few minutes, it slows to a crawl and can’t be restarted without a cold restart. I thought I noticed this problem after watching some AVI videos in Windows Media Player but a reboot fixed it. I should have payed more attention because now it’s happening after a reboot.
I suspect some sort of virus or malware (probably malware) and am now trying to find it. What a pain in the ass and supreme waste of time.
Update: After restoring to the last known good configuration, things seem ok. Spyware scanners only found a few cookies and nothing more serious. I did have a scare where the keyboard stopped working once Windows booted. Did I mention that computers suck?
This is one of those sites with a curl on its forehead. [Rate My Teachers](http://www.ratemyteachers.ca/) enables you to, well, rate your teachers. Schools from all over North America are in the database. I found my high school, along with a number of familiar names.
Problem
———-
Cell phone can no longer connect to voicemail. The phone is programmed to dial *789 to access voicemail and before Sprint was bought by Rogers, this worked fine. Now it doesn’t.
I just rediscovered an old note to myself in my wallet. It says:
> Super-human computer intelligence
> Is there a God?
> Does this [computer intelligence] invalidate God?
> What if computers believed??
As I read this, I realize these are some of the themes that [Battlestar Galactica](http://scifi.com/battlestar) is covering.
Note to self: Always date your notes to self. I can’t remember when I wrote the note. I recall reading something at the time and not watching BSG, though.
Sorry for the lack of posts and the missing Day 3 story of our Mt. Rainier climb. I’m working on a redesign of this site that will integrate [jay-photo.com](http://jay-photo.com)’s galleries with this blog.
As part of this big change, I will be moving any professional and usability related posts back to a separate blog.
All this work takes time and effort and I have very little time for [obvious reasons](http://jay-photo.com/shulablog).
