Snow Day… part 2

So we’re having our second snow day in a row… The Indy Airport says they have received 9″ of snow. I think we’ve gotten a little more than that where we live. Hendricks county (where we live) is under a snow emergency, which means it’s “illegal” to be out on the road (unless of course it’s an emergency). IUPUI has canceled classes for the second straight day and Jenni’s work canceled their clinic for a second day.

We’ve tried to snowblow/shovel but it’s rough… there are layers of snow and layers of ice together. The snowblower isn’t doing well either… heh. We did make some time to play in the snow with Carson. I’ll be putting some pictures up shortly.

Sunday fun!

Had our swimming class on Saturday and it was good fun, while Carson and I were there Jenni painted in our room a bit… I’ll get a picture of that and put it up this week sometime. Finished off the day with dinner at Olive Garden, Carson was excited to see Nanny and Poppy… mmmm, breadsticks.

Sunday came and we decided to go hang out at the Children’s Museum for a bit before doing our taxes.. heh. Carson had a blast, just like he always does. The traveling exhibit this month is Clifford… Carson gave that big ole dog a hug.

He also had a lot of fun with the diner they have set up, he was slingin’ lobsters and bananas… mmhmmmmm!

Click around over there to see all the fun stuff we did.. if you go to the Videos album there’s a new one of him at the bottom dancing with the dogs on the big screen there. Here’s a link to that album.

Special note to H & B, we love you both and are thinking about you a lot.

Friday arrives, none to soon…

We’ll start the day off with,

Friday Funnies

Today’s Funny is from a tech/gaming comic Ctrl+Alt+Del, adventures in tech support.

SlickDeals gives us another bargain, Dell AMD powered computer on the cheap.

There’s a good wrap-up of the top College recruiting classes over at ESPN. It’s good to see Bill Callahan keeps improving his recruiting classes.

And the last link for now from Colts.com, an interview with Peyton Manning. Class just pours out of him.

Oh.. I wanted to post this video too.. 24 / Aqua Teen Hunger Force parody, since I love 24 and ATHF has been in the news recently:

Great Heroes parody video!

Quick notes

I’ve finally gotten over my cold (mostly), now it seems Jenni and Carson might be coming down with it… which sucks because they’ll probably give it back to me. 🙁

According to Download Squad, Gmail is now available to everyone! If you go through whatever steps to get an account and it doesn’t work, just let me know and I’ll send you an invite. I think I have 90 some odd invites.

SlickDeals comes up big with a link to a $5.99 DVD sale. Wooooo!

Espn featured a story about a Bears fan that lost a bet and now has to change his name. It’s funny and sad at the same time.

Been really busy lately… sorry about the lack of updates. I think I may have some pictures just sitting on my camera too. I should check into that.. heh.

Vista launches, Woot-Off in progress

Yes, your dreams have come true… there is a Woot-Off today. Go get some goodies on the cheap.

Microsoft’s commercial launch of Windows Vista is today… Win yourself a copy of the Ultimate edition here. I’ve been using the Enterprise version for a few months and it’s pretty nice if you have the hardware to take advantage of you. Looks like Yahoo’s widgets will play nice as well.

Might put up some more later, as news releases roll in.

HAHA… an automated parking garage. I’m still holding out from my jetpack. See following video for reference.
Bill Gates on the Daily Show…

In case I haven’t mentioned it, I am in the Alpha of Trillian Astra. I joined in at build 26 and we are now at build 28. I’m really liking the direction they are going and the second build is a lot more stable and had new features added. I have been dabbling in beta testing a lot lately and it’s been really fun. Here’s a shot of my desktop with Trillian running and 4 chat containers with 9 chat buddies in them.

Last link of the day… Engadget does a round-up of the Vista reviews.
