I Tivo’d Andy Richter last night because I wasn’t home right at 8:30. I’m going to watch it while I eat lunch today and I’ll give you my review after that.

While conceptually this is a pretty nice webcam I’ve got, it’s starting to really annoy me. It stands on three legs, and you have to attach the cord to it in the right place or else the camera will look up at the ceiling instead of at whatever you want it to. I do miss using the QuickCam I had, but they don’t make that model any more. Plus, this is a laptop and it wouldn’t have been able to sit on top. There’s nothing worse that the view looking up at you if you’re trying to look .good for the camera.

Tech writers all over the country will be popping corn and cracking open beer to celebrate a sitcom about a tech writer – Andy Richter Controls the Universe.

I loved Andy on Conan. LOVED him. For a while, MSNBC was playing Conan’s show on a two week delay at a time when I could actually watch it, and I got hooked. I don’t care if the show stinks (an the review I just linked to doesn’t seem to hate it. It’s not the Sopranos, but what else is?

Still $1.25. Maybe because I’m watching them. When I wasn’t watching, it kept going up. I do control the universe, you know. Or I think I do. I’m a lot like a character in a Vonnegut novel that way.

Some day maybe I’ll have a blog THIS cool. For now visit Who Would Buy That? (auction oddities from all over the web).

The people across the street moved a lot of their furniture out yesterday. No sign that the house is sold-in fact, someone went to look at it today. I’m not sure how they are handling showing the house, because I can see both cars in the driveway. So I’m not sure that they were actually gone when the realtor was there 30 minutes ago.

Aren’t you supposed to leave the house when someone is showing it? I’d be kind of freaked out if the owners were sitting on the couch as I was looking around. Actually, when my sister was house shopping, we went to see a few with her and at one of them I assumed the owners were hiding out back behind the bushes. Not only was the tv on (showing the Poseiden Adventure) but their pet bird was loose, sitting on top of its cage. Very very odd. (She liked Miami, so the whole house was painted coral, light teal and dark teal. Not our taste.)
