Did this stab at 9/11 humor make me laugh? You bet. Not a guffaw, exactly; but a chortle. Am I proud of my reaction? Not a bit. I dislike the words "chortle" and 'guffaw," and pride myself on the bell-like delicacy of my Victorian drawing-room laughter.

Whatever. I needed a laugh today and nothing else was getting the job done.

I thought you'd like that.

What was really funniest to me was that he was so polite and soft-spoken.

Polite, yes. But the design he proposed was so tasteless as to be insulting.

"Colorful."

question for friends of technology

several websites, including the onion, youtube, yuvutu, have squares where you click and watch a video. on my computer, there are gaps as buffering occurs. but once it's been through once one can watch the whole video smoothly.

does that mean it's in a temp file somewhere on my machine? [i.e. already downloaded]

how does one download one of these clips [if it's not already]? the usual right click, save target as' doesn't seem right. but i see no 'download' button to click.

are the websites NOT wanting downloading [or do you have to pay someone?]? if so, i suppose someone has software to capture these tapes as they are playing, no?

I am clueless. Worse than clueless, I am right-click-less. We Mac people are single-clickers; why you PC folk need two is as mysterious to me as the subatomic-sized messenger slaves who perform Google searches.

YouTube offers subscribers (just sign up; it's free) the option of linking a video to your blog, and you can e-mail someone a link to the video. If you want to have it separately, on your hard drive, you probably need a laser scalpel for the delicate work of separating the video from its url. It can't be much more complicated than Conjoined Peeps Surgery. Can it?

My new iMac has a two button mouse, although it looks like the old one.

Second button is handy when playing games but not for much else.

I did have a YouTube account. But they scrambled the password and my e-mail address so I can't use it anymore. Shrugs. If I see something I like I bookmark it or use my browser's history.

About the Compound. Would you consider a trade? Garage doors in need of a little plastic wood and paint but I have an attic full of cute squirrels, both grey and flying.

I'm a big fan of plastic wood. Most of the main structure and a thirty-foot length of fence are now composed almost entirely of plastic wood. There's a section of baseboard made of paper towels and spackling compound, but that was an emergency.

Don't forget about my squirrels. I enjoy them so much that I have put Critter Control on permanent retainer to ensure the fun little furry buggers are happy. CC has now installed lots of little doors and mazes for my cute little rodents to play in and they seem really happy. They are certainly at home and you won't ever have to be concerned that they will ever leave.

Ever wonder what they gnaw on up there to file their teeth? Rodents' teeth grow constantly and have to be ground down by chewing on hard things - like electrical wiring - and chewy textures, like the rubber insulation around copper tubing. In the latter case, if the tubing happens to be the drain for the A/C unit in your attic, the insulation is the thing that stops condensation from forming on the metal pipe and then dripping into the ceiling insulation, eventually reaching the plaster, where it will one day become so heavy with water, a section of ceiling the size of a large canoe will collapse onto the floor of the guest bedroom.

Your furry friends will never be cuter than when they're laughing and high-fiving each other, as they peer down through the gaping hole at your amusing post-collapse antics.

I had a possum living up there one year. God knows how he got in and out - big fat one - and I wish he'd come back. The man from Pesky Critters told me rodents will not share a living space with possums. Also, possums don't eat electrical wiring or alarm systems. They like fruit.
