While in the Hudson News store in the Las Vegas airport, I saw Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He bought a pack of gum and then refused to sign an autograph for some lady. It was pretty cool.

In other news, I’m down $3 to the Las Vegas gambling empire.

We have made our choice. The puppy is a brindle female and was the second in the litter. Here she is!

While standing in the line to get all our belongings x-rayed, there was a sign regarding the new regulations about carry-on baggage. The sign read something similar to the following, I may not have gotten the wording exactly right, but you’ll get the point. Emphasis added by me.

Attention all travelers. Lotion, sryup, toothpaste, sampoo, and hair spray’s are not allowed in carry-on luggage.

I recently bought a broken iPod from a guy that had posted on Craigslist. The guy described the problem to me and I recognized the issue as what was outlined on many a web forum. The iPod hard drive was showing signs of the dreaded “Click of Death.” I decided I could handle fixing that problem.

After I got the iPod I opened it up to investigate. I removed the hard drive and noted the model of the drive. After a little research I found the same model available at eWiz.com. I got the drive in the mail a few days later and popped it into the enclosure. I loaded the software from the iPod Update application and unplugged the iPod. The iPod booted up and worked like a charm.

Broken 40 Gb iPod, $50. New hard drive, $125. Total cost for a new(ish) 4th generation iPod, $175.

You aren’t escaping the necessary characters in your query strings. I received this error when trying to get flight information on an arrival from Chicago O’Hare:

A sql exception has occurred:
[Microsoft][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'HARE'.

I emailed you sometime last year with the same error report. Please fix it. It makes you look like an idiot.

Thanks, Me
