Major Dilemma

Dangit....woot.com has the roomba discovery SE at 150 bucks.......dang, I wanted one so bad....what a dilemma.  Stupid logic.

pat on the back

okay, so I took this little online IQ test and it makes me feel good about myself.  I am warmed by my smugness.

MLK weekend

Hello all.  Long time since I've had a "real" post....well, I guess that depends on how you define "real".  Anyway, as I sit in my new office slowly freezing to death, I thought I would explain my absence.  Things have been very busy here and the first thing that was cut out of my schedule was posting to the blog.  It's sad but true, my time needs to be spent much more productively from now on.  Strangely, here is a list of things that were NOT cut from my schedule:
1) Shivering
2) Incessantly checking email
3) Incessantly checking gadget sites and productivity websites (lifehacker, 43 folders) thereby defeating the purpose
4) Worrying about where my next bowel movement will be (Irritable bowel + public bathroom phobia = REAL PROBLEM)
5) Choking on the dust from my GO LEAN flax bars
6) Worrying about dying in my office after choking on aforementioned GO LEAN bars but the extremely cold temperature of my office cryogenically preserving me in a non-rotting state thus making my death go completely unnoticed
7) Looking out my window, picking my nose, wondering how many people can see me pick my nose
8) Worrying about being too neurotic and then being neurotic about worrying about being too neurotic
9) Quilting
10) Making inane lists

Catch the spirit.....

Alright, 24 is starting soon...this Sunday and Monday....it is being Tivo'd at our house since I will be visiting my folks.  IT IS BEING TIVO'D AT OUR HOUSE....do NOT CHANGE THE CHANNEL if it's recording [please]...oh, that's just in case someone that is in the house is reading...including that DAMN NINA MYERS!!! NINA, IF YOU INTERFERE WITH OUR TIVO I WILL KILL YOU! [again]
So, to start getting into the hype, I found out that Monday Jan 15 is "Talk like Jack Bauer Day".....Look, I don't have time to explain...do it NOW!  oops, getting a head start, sorry.  Gotta get some aviators before monday....

Then...I found these:  hilarious Bauerisms of the same ilk as all the chuck norris ones (though I do take credit for "if everyone did exactly what Jack said, it'd be called '12'") look here and here

Giddy

Alright, I'll admit it, I'm seriously giddy over the new Apple pron all over the internets. Sure...nobody really needs ANY of this stuff, but I will guarantee you that in one year, I will own all of the products announced today. I also guarantee that every other company will be struggling to compete with copycat hardware. Apple did it right again it seems. A really interesting article about it in Time here. I'll admit..I've already checked to see when I'm eligible for a new phone and contract.....not until at least November. Dang.
Oh, CES is going on too? Meh.

Drool...

Keynote going on right now....
new appleTV
new iPhone
new iPod with touchscreen

far too excited for work....oh yeah, I'm at work!!!  Oops, gotta go...

The other Warriors

Whoa. Did you know this existed? And you didn't tell me?! My goodness...you should....nay..NEED to go to this website and get your cat name and clan.....I AM BRAMBLESTAR OF THE RIVER CLAN!!!! RAWR!!!
Hmmm, seems less macho that I wanted but whatchagonnado. Rawr, indeed.

Oh, and check this Zombie Wars survivability calculator...the Zombie wars are upon us! But I do know that besides hats, Zombies love warm climates....because of .....their exposed...um...organs and whatnot...so unless this stupid global warming crap keeps happening, I'm all good in Wisconsin. However, I only scored a 35% survivability until I bent the truth a little....[don't tell the Zombies]...so now I am apparently a military trained sailor capable of a self sufficient agrarian community. Oh yeah, and according to my survey, Wisconsin is now located on an ocean...and I'll be headed to someplace called the "pacific continent". Whatever.

Spidorz!!

Thought this video was pretty funny: Spiders on drugs.
