CNET reports on the next stage of popup ads, popup downloads. Instead of just popping up an ad, it also will ask you if you want to install software. Now I know enough to click ‘No’ every time I get one of those things, but I wonder how many other people do. Is Joe user on the street cluefull enough to say no? Or will they just blindly click yes?
(I’d like to think they are cluefull enough, but I’ve seen way too many cases of people ignoring common sense when it comes to virus type things).
Braingle: Brain Teasers is a site that has a new brain teaser/puzzle every day. Today’s was pretty easy(IMHO): If the only brother of your dad’s sister had a child, what would the childs relationship to you be?
The countdown to Wednesday is on. For those of you who haven’t been reading, I’m spinning (DJing) this week at the Phoenix Landing. I’m opening up for Steve Porter. So, for all of my friends in Boston, come on down. I am guessing I’ll go on around 10ish.
If you’re curious about what I spin, you can find my mixes over on my DJ page. I recommend I, Gregory personally (though lots of people like Spring.

I went to sleep fairly early last night because I was exhausted from the weekend. So when I woke up this morning I was fairly rested (could have really used another two hours of sleep). But then I realized that I couldn’t because I’d lost an hour. Bah.
On the plus side, it looks like it’s going to be up in the 50s today.
I was sitting around watching TV late this afternoon when I heard a voice yelling, “Greg!” I looked outside and saw my old friend Tamson. Tamson’s an old school friend/ex-housemate who recently moved back to MA from SoCal a few months back. I’d actually been wondering what she’d been up to since I hadn’t heard from her since then.
We went out to Boca Grande and caught up while I had a steak quesadilla (Hmm, I should update my LJ with this!). She’s gonna come back into town Wednesday night for my gig at the Phoenix Landing.
David Letterman. “USA Today has come out with a new survey – apparently, three out of every four people make up 75% of the population.”
Well, even if it isn’t warm, it is a nice and sunny day out. This has been quite a long weekend, but it’s felt really good. Friday was my off Friday, so after running a bunch of errands I decided to zoom down to my parent’s place. It was good to get out of Boston for a bit. I hadn’t seen my parents in a month or so, and I don’t think I’d been down to CT in even longer then that.
Saturday I made my way back up to Boston. I had plans to hang out with some friends that night. After a quick nap and some sushi I was off to join Heather and Mike and Michelle over at Hartley for some quiet socializing. It was nice. I rarely get to see Mike and Michelle these days and I miss hanging and talking with them. Got back home this morning and now I’m ready for sleep. This weekend feels like it has helped me get a little back on track… finally.

I just got done watching episode 15 of Fruits Basket. I am really really enjoying this show, but this has to be one of the saddest episodes of any animated show I’ve seen. It definitely ranks up there in the top 5 sad anime moments. Once again, I’ve found a series that I will be buying as soon as it comes out. Luckily it’s already been licensed in the US, so hopefully it won’t be TOO long before we see episodes on DVD.
