In a recent twitter post, Vonnie mentioned that very few had commented on her post about her dying her daughter’s hair pink. I of course responded with the reason why I didn’t. I tend to read Vonnie’s site via my RSS reader. Unfortunately, this also tends to make my likelyhood of commenting very small. I know that I have a fair number of ( Read more... )

Is there a resurgence of romance novels or does that genre always float in the background? I have had people recommend books only to discover they are romance novels. It amuses me every time I go to the used book store and see that the largest group of books are used romance novels. I guess they aren’t books that you want to read multiple times.

Because we are also planning purchasing the Kodak zi8 for work, I have been spending a little more time working on technical things than a Saturday should allow. Until I am fortunate enough to be given a MAC at work (working on it), editing the .mov files from the Kodak zi8 will require some work. I am limited by what my work PC can do. So, I am ( Read more... )

OK. I uploaded a video of Hugo towards the end of his playing fetch. This was taken in the living room with only the overhead ceiling fan lights on. The curtains were closed so no natural light came in. Recorded at 720p, 60 fps on a Kodak Zi8 with on board mic. Oh and yes that’s me talking. Surprise!

Holy Shnikeys! I just realized I have made real posts three days in a row. That hasn’t happened in a long time. That is all.

There was once a time in my life when I spent way too much on shoes. Now, I spend way too much on gadgets. My Zi8 arrived safely today and after letting it charge, I started playing. I’m fairly impressed with it so far. I hooked it up to the television to check the output. I could hear the high pitched noise everyone was talking about. I want to ( Read more... )

We are venturing into new worlds at work. Well, I am running head first and dragging work by the heels with me. I have been told on more than one occasion that when I decide to leave, the person that replaces me will hate me because of all of the work I have created. Perhaps I should see if there is a way to make sure that they can only hire a ( Read more... )

It seems that every morning and every evening I have a song stuck in my head. For the past few mornings it has been Mariah Carey songs. This is odd because I can think of only two Mariah Carey songs and I don’t know anything from either song other than , “You’ve got me feeling emotions” and “I’ll be there.” I have no idea why they are stuck in my ( Read more... )

So I have a love for Top Gear. When else do I get to watch some of my favorite and most beautiful cars get tested on some of the best roads? Not very often. Mmm, cars.

A wave of computer purchases has begun. Between my coworkers and my family, new computers are popping up all around me. I do really like my laptop. So far it has done all that I have ( Read more... )

I’ve just finished making myself a batch of daal/lentils for lunch tomorrow. I’ll probably have a tiny bowl in a bit, but I’m trying to be good.

So far I have to say that I like this laptop. I can type pretty fast on it and it feels natural. I usually misspell a lot on new keyboards, but so far I have only forgotten letters. I call that a user ( Read more... )
