ICE ON THE ROAD, EVERYONE FREAKOUT!!!!

Leave a reply

So my normal 25-35 minute commute turned into a 2 hour slow crawl of patience testing, brake stomping fun. Between the overly careful drivers and those drivers with no regard to other human life, it was quite the epic drive.

Pretty decent deal on a laptop over at SlickDeals… I would probably upgrade the video card and then price out upgrading the RAM to 2gb but otherwise looks like a decent offer.

I feel like this sometimes… heh

Like helping charities? Need some Mac Software? Let’s combine those attributes into this wonderful idea.

IT’S TIME FOR ANOTHER WOOT-OFF!!!

That’s all for now, possibly more later.

What?

Soooo, Wednesday eh? Well, I don’t have much today so let’s get started.

Microsoft released their first commercial for Windows Vista… I’m going to have to agree with the review, it is pretty boring. ho hum.

Carson and I got haircuts last night… I tend to take Carson to CookieCutters here because they have a slide, let kids watch a show while getting buzzed, and they let them sit on neat ride-on vehicles instead of normal barber chairs. Like this:

If you click on the album for that photo, you’ll see I added a new album there called Carson Candids… I’ll drop random photos of Carson in there from time to time that I really like.

This is a great tip for most everyone that has some amount of computing going on at home… How to improve your WiFi reception.

Ooooh! Halo 3 TV commercial looks very cool…

meh… I did get the pictures from this weekend uploaded though! Carson went to his cousin’s cousin’s birthday… yes, that’s right, my brother-in-law’s sister’s son. It’s much more simple to explain if you could see the white-board I’m pointing at. At any rate, he had a lot of fun and really enjoyed seeing Elmo. Happy Birthday Colin and thank you to Jill and Doug for a fun party.

So yea, if you like Olive Stone movies and don’t have many in your collection here’s a way to bump your collection way up without spending a bunch of money.

More later? Perhaps.

GMail mystery solved!! So that’s where they get it.

Football disappointments abound this weekend… :*(

Huskers lose the Big 12 championship game… although they get the bid to the Cotton Bowl to play against #10 Auburn. Oklahoma goes on to play Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl.

The Colts lose to the Titans in what I will call an early Christmas present to Tennessee.

Yup… double whammy. At least my fantasy team is doing ok this morning (go Reggie Bush!).

Holy cold snap, batdude.

Wind advisories and temps in the 20s. I think it’s snowing a little too. Yuck.

Read a great write-up on the Big 12 championship game… it is really nice seeing NU-OU playing in a conference championship that has important bowl implications. Even though both teams have changed dramatically over the years.

Oh man, SIGN ME UP FOR THIS!!!

Perhaps something new starting for Friday’s… I like comics and there are a ton of good web comics out there that even I haven’t seen. Maybe I’ll pick an episode every Friday usually from a new strip (I’ll have to plug my favorites a few extra times, of course). We’ll call it:

Friday Funnies
Today’s feature is: Joe and Monkey
It’s really a random strip which is probably why I like it. I look forward to sharing my findings.

Great stop motion video…

Wacky weather..

From super warm and nice on Monday to snow and cold for tomorrow… Indiana and Nebraska share similar weather patterns.

Football news!
Pro – Ricky Proehl (WR) joins the Colts. This will be a great addition as they haven’t been running their normal 3 wide set since Stokely (WR) has been injured. With Dallas Clark (TE) getting hurt it puts some additional strain on their depth in the three wide set… Clark often would line up as the third wide receiver.

College – The Big 12 championship game to produce two bowl teams. The winner is to go to the BCS game at the Fiesta Bowl and the loser is to go to the Cotton Bowl. Not a bad deal at all for the Big 12, as a few other teams are expected to get bowl invites as well.

So Stephen Colbert is having (or had) a “Green Screen Challenge”… some very funny results on his site.

Maybe some more later…

Hump day strikes again!

Been busy the last two days, but wanted to drop a blog entry for today despite that.

Looks like Vanderjagt is out of a job… Him missing the field goals against Indy was probably the best part of that game. heh

Good Deal Alert!
Fry’s has some good hard drive deals that are worth a look. Click here to hop there.

LIFE CHANGING TIPS AND TRICKS!!!!

Today’s tip: “How to make balloon animals” Oh yea, very cool. At the bottom of the article are links to a couple different sites, the one that says something about videos is a crazy watch.

Here is a hilarious commercial…

So yea, get a laptop.

And… We’re back!

Got in before 9pm last night from Ohio… had a great trip. Colts stepped up and had a nice solid win, even if it was against a McNabb-free Eagles. Have a big meeting today so I will be a bit busy… but I did get the trip pictures up on PicasaWeb.

Peek-a-boo!

From Thanksgiving …

Hope everyone had a great holiday.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I won’t be posting again until Monday so I thought I better start off today’s post with some holiday wishes. I hope everyone has a safe and happy Thanksgiving!

Remember to try your hardest to get along with everyone… for inspiration just check out the picture over here. 🙂

So, with that out of the way… the HumpDay tradition of a tip and/or trick continues!

LIFE CHANGING TIPS AND TRICKS!!!!

Ok, today’s tip seems very appropriate with the holiday season – How to be a good house guest.

Should have a photo album update soon, but if I don’t get to it and we have some good pictures from our Thanksgiving festivities I’ll be sure to do another Picasa Web Album.

And here’s a helpful video on how NOT to take an inside pitch.

So, got a stack of PS3s sitting around waiting to be eBayed for thousands? Well, now you have options! This story warms the heart and boggles the mind.

And from the Department of Strange and Inappropriate Tattoos, this beauty!

My favorite show, Mythbusters, got some coverage from the NY Times recently. Pretty cool stuff.

More to come…

It’s that crazy purple hippo…
