10 million fans cant be wrong

The weekend is nearly upon us. I, for one, plan on celebrating with a combination of Slamball (no thats not some designer drug, rather some designer sport involving trampolines and plexiglass) and old Dokken records (those billiard cues are so righteous.) According to the interweb’s wikipedia thing,  Dokken has sold 10 million records, and has been ranked #113 on the US Charts as recently as May of this year. Dokken. Go Don Dokken!!

Afer all those years (and all that hair spray), who would have thunk it.  So I for one am gonna be totally rokken like dokken this weekend. Reach out across that aisle and join me, wherever you may be.

Hey check out this cool presidential transitions for dummies.

and this link is a triple whammy of supercoolness. Not only is it a governmental “org chart” (and who doesnt love a nice org chart) for the president-elect’s transition website but from inspecting the url a little closer (and who doesnt love doing that) its obviously generated by a cgi. Thats the “.cgi” part in the url, mom.  Hey now, THAT is exciting. Perl is obviously getting some whitehouse governmental pdf-generation cgi love.  Do I dare dream it was, in fact, Perl behind that CGI and not some crappy csh script? I bet its perl.  I also enjoy the “dbname=2008_government_manual” part of the href, bc to me its reassuring that we’ve got a manual for the 2008 govt. To me, that makes sense. My microwave came with a manual,  the government should too. Its much bigger than my microwave. And the manual’s online. Wow. They’ve got this interweb thing nailed. I can tell the next four — scratch that, eight — years are gonna be awesome. Yes we can. You think its a mysql database even? Omg. Has digg seen this yet?

Thanks everyone for putting up w/ this momentary tech talk. For those of you w/ no inkling of what perl or cgi is, rest assured, it does NOT rock and has no business on this website. Its just how this cubicle dweller happens to pay his monthly bills. Everyone’s gotta do something, eh.

WWDDD — What would Don Dokken do? I’ll tell you. He’d be out there playing Slamball.
