I hate the lids on the Taco Bell cups. They never fit right, and 3 out of 4 times I end up spilling some of my drink on my shirt or on the table. Tonight was no exception…good thing it was just an undershirt. I feel like one of those people who couldn’t make it [...]

Last night I was coming home from a little going away party for Mike’s last day at work, and I got a ticket. That means I’ve been pulled over twice in Minnesota in a year, and once in IL in 7 years. Bogus state, and their bogus insurance and driving laws. Besides that, we are [...]

This is a funny article on why some guy dropped out of engineering. I agree pretty much entirely with what he says, except, I don’t think he was actually smart enough to be an engineer. There is a purpose to the weeding out, and good schools put good teachers in the important classes, even at [...]

Well, we decided to sign a six month lease and get back out to looking for a new place in March when things start to rolling again. So, that means I need help moving. But there is a special request in this particular move, because of some odd circumstances. We wanted to be able to [...]

I forgot to mention my new numbers so you can all reach me on the new phone. Lauren: Six One Two, Six Six Nine, One Five Five Seven Me: Six One Two, Six Six Nine, Five One Nine Eight Please don’t try our 217 numbers unless you absolutely have to. We are disconnecting them at [...]

Holy crap it has been a crazy few days. Lots of stuff to talk about, so I’ll post some fancy stuff under some cuts. Well, we got the new phones, I like them a lot, both of them. Lauren likes here phone, which came with some free Norah Jones video and songs. I’ve already found [...]

Current Mood:  excitedK, so I got home from this amazing retreat we had this weekend, and there are things I should write about, and a few crazy things I’ve been thinking about from the retreat that I won’t write about until after I do them…but first, I want to inform everyone that the whining about [...]

Well, this realtor was quite the saleswoman. She pitched up and down about appreciation and all kinds of things. I guess she didn’t realize we really wanted to buy the place when we walked in. Well, it took a while to be able to interrupt her sales spiel, but when we did we found some [...]

Called Cingular, and while I was talking to the guy it showed up in their database as available for general customers. But, do they have the phone I want to get for Lauren….of course not! Waiting game until I find both on a site where I can get them together.

Well, the phone was released to buisness channels today. So if your company has a buisness account with cingular (i.e. one of those deals where you buy the phone through your company at a discount) you can buy it today. I’m not sure how long it will take to be available to the general public, [...]

We went out again and looked at condo’s. This trend continues where we look at condo’s that we like, and then feel like we won’t get one because of circumstance, then we go look at apartments. Freaking annoying. So, the one we really like that has high condo fee’s, and is actually a co-op, not [...]

A lot of things I think about when I am pondering the future of technology are convergance products. Most of the time this means combining your PDA and your cellphone, or your DVD and VCR, or DVD and TiVo, etc. But, I’m looking to expand my computer a little by adding a USB card reader, [...]

This morning when the radio came on they were talking about the most recent developments in the hurricane story. It seems that some people in New Orleans are shooting at rescue workers, both in helicopters and otherwise. One MP had a man try to wrestle a rifle out of his hands. People are looting guns [...]
