Bought teh Haloz

So, I cracked, sunk into peer pressure (of a sort), and gave in and purchased Halo 3. I’ve yet to actually play it yet, as I purchased it during my lunch hour with my friend James, who bought a copy as well (the limited Collector’s edition for both of us), although he also bought an [...]

Suggestion fun

So, I tend to run Firefox as a web browser, and it has a lovely little Firefox search toolbar that I use often. I never bother going to Google directly, since I can just search there. On occasion, I’ll do a more verbal search — rather than searching for just key terms, it seems like [...]

Powerhouse

While I can’t really vouch for the accuracy here, I find it to be quite an amusing idea. According to the Body Battery Calculator, I’m producing a lot.
Your Body is Producing 357 Watts!
This is 79% MORE wattage than the average person

You could light up 4 light bulbs
You could power 89 iPods
You could power 2 Xbox [...]

New job, old friends

My last post was all about summarizing smaller events. These two events deserve more than a bullet point, but maybe not necessarily their own post.
First off, I started a new job! I mentioned in my last post that Lisa had participated in a program with high school students, working on spatial literacy. One of the [...]

July/August summary

Thanks to the magic of Twitter, I have a nice record of events, which I can then mine to summarize recent events. While I may not post as much as I should, I do try to at least send random bits to Twitter. There’s admittedly a lot more noise in the stream, but, it’s something, [...]

Harry Potter selling a vacuum

Today’s woot product is a Roomba, which Woot is known to sell quite often. Today’s product description is chock full of (absolutely fake) Harry Potter spoilers, which cracked me up. That being said, if I were still reading the book and not finished, I’d be irritated, but that’s why you stay away from the Internet [...]

Random Snips of Thought

This post is really just kind of a quick set of blurbs of stuff in my head.
So, I knew coming into July that it would be busy for the next few months. I had no idea how busy. The part that gets to me is that it’s really hard to track down where all of [...]

In lieu of any real news

Last night I finally conquered Psychobilly Freakout on Hard, and can now say I’ve five-starred all 48 career songs (six songs a set, eight sets - the Xbox 360 version has the extra song a set bonus) on Hard difficulty in Guitar Hero II.
I now have access to a new guitar: The Eyeball. It’s absolutely [...]

A return to simplicity

So, I’ve gotten some grief lately for not having posted anything of any note or significance in recent months. I think part of that is I’ve simply not really liked looking at my site.
However, recent changes such as a new version of WordPress (I’m now on 2.2), and a new version of Sandbox (my theme [...]

Europe 2007: Flight to Brussels

So, here I sit, writing this out on my iBook, earplugs firmly in place, soaring over the eastern U.S. on our way to Brussels.
Brussels? Yeah, Brussels.
See, today hasn’t exactly gone so well in terms of travel. The morning was alright. Lisa’s mom dropped us off at the airport at around 3:45am. Our flight was scheduled [...]
