Title: Bath - England
Uploaded By: DamoWired
So, anyway, I saw Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy this afternoon. Overall, I enjoyed it, but, after thinking about it, it was lacking. Could have been much better.
Prior to the movie, I bought some clothes at the mall, including this realy cute shirt from Old Navy, which will look good on me.
Also had some delicious food with Tony and Jason at Thai Spice in Greenwood. I highly recommend the restaurant.

Isn’t that just adorable?
Tiger is on order from Amazon, who is shipping it to me on Friday. I’ll have it in-hand this coming Monday, at which time I will spend the entire evening installing and playing with the new operating system.
I hope it doesn’t fuck up my computer and is faster than the previous version, which has been the case for all prior releases.

One of my contacts on Flickr posted a pretty funny photo set today. Check it out.
Title: Thunder Over Louisville
Uploaded By: mattbarton77
I spent this past weekend with my sister Lisa in Louisville.
We watched watched Thunder Over Louisville (pictured above), which was great, but the weather was absolutely horrible. We sat on top of a paring garage and the wind was cold and blowing hard during the entire fireworks show.
We also rented a bunch of movies, too. I finally watched The Village, Troy, and Sideways. Troy was not such a great movie, but I enjoyed the other two a lot.
I turned off the feature in Blogger that enables carriage returns to be interpreted as <br /> tags. As a result, the formatting in every single post on this blog has to be fixed.
I went through and assigned paragraph tags were appropriate and cleaned up a few messy items, especially the music mixes I created back in November.
The end result of all this is that all posts look much better and have cleaner margins at the top and bottom.
I apologize in advance for all the updated items in the RSS feed.
Lots of stuff has changed with the RSS feed to this blog. If you currently subscribe to my Atom feed, you should switch over to the following URL.
http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheNetMonkey
FeedBurner is an awesome tool that allows you to take any kind of RSS, RDF, or Atom feed and have it converted, on the fly, to the appropriate format, depending on the client software pulling down the XML file. This is very convenient considering all the RSS and Atom readers out there, and the fact that Blogger only supplies Atom files and nothing for RSS, at the moment.
My favorite feature of FeedBurner is the ability to consolidate feeds. I’m now able to include my del.icio.us and Flickr feeds in to one big mega-feed, for all to enjoy. So, when I upload to new photos to Flickr or bookmark something, it’ll show up in my RSS feed.
I guess when it rains it pours! This is three posts in one day!
This morning a truck carrying some sort of cheese mixture overturned on Interstate 465 causing a huge backup. Looks quite messy.
I spent some time last night reading about the Grant Fire, which was a huge multi-building fire in downtown Indianapolis back in 1973.
The Grant Building was in the process of being demolished when a fire started consuming the entire structure. The fire spread to the neighboring buildings, completely gutting the Thomas Building, which was next door to the west and contained business offices. Several other buildings were affected by the blaze, including the former Lincoln Hotel and the Century Building.
In the end, it was a many multi-alarm situation, with a majority of the Indianapolis Fire Department on the scene dealing with all the fires.
There’s a great, lengthy article written by an IFD historian available, as well as a wonderful photographic archive.
Yes, it is true. There’s a Star Wars convention in town this weekend at the Indiana Convention Center. So far I’ve sighted several Obi-Wan Kenobi look-alikes and some stormtroopers.
The event is called Celebration III and is officially sanctioned by LucasArts. There’s an article from the Indianapolis Star that talks about the event.
Sadly, I am going to see my sister in Louisville this weekend and will not be able to take any photographs.

I’m obsessed with Flickr. I need to just stop. Seriously.
Found this one and busted out laughing. You just aren’t human if you can’t find a little toilet humor funny.
Title: SBC Building
Uploaded By: mattbarton77
I finally broke down and bought a digital camera. I settled on the Canon PowerShot A95, and so far I’m enjoying it.
Yesterday, I went out in to the sun and took snapshots of the central downtown area of Indianapolis. Pictured here is the SBC Building at 240 North Meridian Street as taken from across the street.
All my digital photos will be hosted over at Flickr, which is another social networking site similar to Friendster, but with an emphasis on photography.

Please let me know what you think!
I meant to write about this a couple weeks ago when I actually saw it. I finally watched Napoleon Dynamite, after Danny at work had been pestering me about it for a while.
It is one of those films I cringed watching because I could relate to a few of the situations in the movie; however, I found it more funny than anything. Definitely worth watching because you’ll never forget it.
I wonder if people will be quoting and impersonating characters in this movie for as long as they have Office Space.
