Well, it looks like my ability to find deals and my desire for frivolously spending money on crap i don’t need has gotten the best of me yet again.
The other day I stumbled upon a deal for a case of Christmas lights. I am now the proud owner of 6 boxes(1 case) of 300 light strings of energy leeching seasonal bliss. But for $6 shipped how could I (or anyone) say no?
I thought it would be cool to decorate the pine tree in my front yard. Anyone have a skyjack? So, any ideas as to what I should do with these?
1x Linksys OGV200 (Network Optimizer for Gaming and Voip)
1x Vince Young Gladiators of the gridiron (now with real bench warming action!!!)
1x Chop and Grate Set (which i purchased when it was for sale the first time around)
1x SoundMaster Express (Speaker Tote for iPod)
1x Belkin XM Case
6x Halloween Flasher things so the little children don’t get run over I suppose.
1x Box sans Woot Logo but apparently laced with the smell of delicious critters
Sometimes getting up a couple of minutes early in the morning albeit annoying, can prove useful.
Had I done this yesterday I would of prevented myself from taking my shoes off at work and looking like I just stepped out of a boxcar. Maybe next time I’ll just get up early and verify that my dog hasn’t eaten the socks that I decided to wear, or maybe I’ll make sure to find my harmonica and pack it up with my can of beans and the rest of my belongings and tie it up in my hanker-chief around my stick. It’s a toss up really…
This is what happens when you jump a dirtbike and land like an idiot
There are a few more pictures in the Gallery of the results of me attempting a jump (yes I was on the kiddie course) on my 1999 Honda CR250 and landing on the front tire.
I have officially been cleared of all charges and the lawsuit against me has been “Dismissed with predjudice”
Having never been a defendant(besides for one traffic violation as a wee lad), or been sued for that matter I was unsure what that actually meant. First thought, the charges were dropped and they’re not happy about it. What it actually means… When a case is dismissed for good reason and the plaintiff is barred from bringing an action on the same claim. Hoooray, no more silly law suits.
And if you have no idea what i’m talking about, I got dragged into a law suit for my accident that happened 2+ years ago (lawsuit was filed 1 day before the statute of limitations was met, convenient ehh). The plaintiff said that I caused injury to her by hitting her car from behind after the Mini van had hit her head on. Except by that time her car had already left the highway, crossed the ditch and ended up in a field. The only vehicle I hit was the dust buster-esque mini van that was careening towards me in my lane after hitting the plaintiffs car.
Justice was serverd!! (at least in my side of the case)
Yeah it’s been a long while, but I’m still here… I’m a busy boy
I got a new job! I’m no longer Full Time DBA at CBE. I’ve moved on to Veridian. What’s that mean? Lots of things, new faces, new skill sets, new problems, AND a new wardrobe. Anybody want some heavily worn polo’s?
My house is a mess. (Surprise Surprise) I’m currently redoing my kitchen cabinets. Just kind of a spur of the moment deal. Why didn’t anyone tell me how hard to was to remove 4 layers of polyurethane and nasty orange stain. Before, During and After pictures will be posted when I finish (in 6 months)
I got a new toy! 1999 CR250. I haven’t had the chance to ride it more than just the test drive and down the road and back (ok and once around the back yard but that made a BIG mess so I wont be doing that again) but it’s one scary machine. And if you’re not sure what a 1999 CR250 is it’s a big mean dirt bike.
The ice has melted! It’s time to get out and do some open water fishing!
So as some of you may or may not know, I like to dabbled with music. Whether it be clumsily playing my guitar or tinking out a few things on my Axiom-61 usb Keyboard. So I’m always on the look out for new toys to play with electronic or otherwise. Well while scouring some of my normal sites on the net I bumped into a youtube video of a girl (an attractive one at that)playing with what looks to be a large extravagant version of the old Tiger hand held Lights Out game from the mid 90′s and singing along
(cool huh)
Anyway, after being thuroughly impressed wth her, and her ‘toy’ I did a little investigation. Her toy is actually a musical instrument/synth/loop buider (ok it’s kind of a toy too I guess) It’s called the TENORI-ON and it’s made by Yamaha. It’s really pretty cool, not just the simplicity of how it works and how you set loops, but the extra little stuff they put in the display how the notes, explode, or pop when they’re played. This is the video that got me interested. (It’s a cover of Hot Chip – Ready for the floor)
And if you’re just interested in ‘little boots’ (the girl in the video) check out this link where she sings,plays stylophone, tenori-on, piano, and claps along. It’s good stuff
Anyway, the christmas season is right around the corner, so if you don’t know what to get your tech friend who loves music take a hint. Oh, MRSP is a scant $1200
(cool huh)
