Last night I upgraded from WordPress v2.6.1 to WordPress v2.6.2. You’ve heard me extoll the virtues of WordPress. Free, open source, easy to modify and customize, highly secure and… updated (infuriatingly) often.
If you see any weirdness, please let me know so I can take a look at the issue.
Did the apocalypse take you by surprise? Not to worry! Once you’re done with the obligatory crying, rending of hair, and gnashing of teeth, I’ve got a handy-dandy itinerary. You may want to print this one out and keep it on you for the rest of the day.
Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. – Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
Strap in. Its going to be a busy day.
I like to think that Ferris Bueller would have approved of this plan.
If, by some truly freak occurrence, the Earth doesn’t get swallowed up by a black hole and we’re not stuck in a time loop, check back in tomorrow morning for a list of things ways to deal with the consequences of living like there’s no tomorrow.
Yesterday I mentioned how the CERN project is going to fire up its Large Hadron Collider on Wednesday September 10, 2008. Several lawsuits have been filed (most in the US even though the project is located in Switzerland and France) to stop the machine from being turned on. Here are some of the allegations:
And, my PERSONAL favorite:
However infinitesimal, you have to admit the possibility that one of the above will happen. Here’s a list of things you can do today to prepare for the world (maybe) ending tomorrow:
Be prepared to stay up late tonight and get up early tomorrow. You’re not going to want to waste any daylight. The next blog post will be at 5am. Set your alarm and check back here bright and early for your itinerary.
Get ready to party like its 1999.
Hey, we’ve had a good run. The world has to end some day and I guess September 10, 2008 is as good as any.
Long story short, the European Organization for Nuclear Research aka CERN is going to fire up its brand spanking new 4 billion dollar 27 kilometers long “Large Hadron Collider”. ((CERN from Centre Européenne pour la Recherche Nucléaire. Its a French thing.)) Although the internet was created by DARPA, CERN created the world wide web. There have been a flurry of high profile lawsuits to stop this machine from being turned on – because these people believe it will cause the end of the world.
The device is supposed to smash two protons together to see what pops out. They believe it will create new little bits of matter and anti-matter and give them a glimpse into what the big bang looked like. The good folks at CERN sponsored a rap video to explain how it all works:
Check in tomorrow at 6am for some suggestions on how to spend your last day.

As a workers’ compensation defense attorney I travel throughout Northern California for hearings and depositions. To date I’ve been as far North as Ukiah and as far South as Fresno for cases. I’ve compiled a list of the various things I’ve found come in handy when I’m on the road.
Always in the car:
Am I missing anything?
Update: I added flashlight to the glove compartment.
Update: I added umbrella under the driver’s seat.
