Ripping DVDs

I stumbled upon an open source DVD ripper called Gordian Knot. It appears as if it is written only for the Windows platforms, but comes highly recommended even in this early stage of development. I think I will download it tonight and give it a spin on my dell laptop this evening!

Despair, Inc.

I am sure all of us have seen the inspirational photos with suitably inspirational slogans tacked on at the bottom. Well, Despair, Inc. has a slightly different take on the subject. I am particulary fond of the Demotivators.

As they say, "If you can't motivate employees with vision, why not try inspiring them with fear?"

Cinco de Mayo Lunch Break Surf Report

Despite the holiday, no surfing mariachis were spotted. The waves were inconsistent and the wind made things a bit choppy, with the occassional head high set. On a positive note, the water seems to be a bit warmer, moving above the "freeze your juevos off" line. Hopefully, things will continue to improve in the week to come.
