That I changed my Blog's colors!

Sold!!
My Wii sold on Ebay today!
It sold via Buy It Now. After I calculate all my expenses, I came out about $100 ahead. Cool!! That night out in the cold, and rain will pay for most of our electricity for a month....

Some pics from our night waiting for the Wii
Taken with my camera phone. It was about 35 degrees that night. Brrrr.
It rained that morning, but thankfully we were dry overnight. If it had rained during the night, we would have been sooooooo miserable.
My Wii tickets
The coppers were there! They had four cruisers and cops there to make sure there were no shootouts, beatings, or riots when Target opened it's doors. They all oozed the typical cop attitudes.

I have a cold....
I figured I'd get one after the golf trip. Mark (my brother) picked one up too, and I figure we weren't the only ones. We got little sleep, were traveling a lot, and sleeping in rooms that were not ours.
I was pretty miserable today. It hit me at about 2:30, and I just wanted to go home, but I stuck it out and worked till 6. I came home, and plopped down in the recliner with my laptop, and haven't got up yet (except to use the toilet). I watched The Outlaw Josey Wales on my laptop. Wow, what a great movie! Of course, Clint Eastwood directed and starred in it, so how couldn't it be great?
Tomorrow is the big OSU vs. Michigan game. It should be really good. Both teams are going into the game undefeated (the only two teams in college football this year).

Haven't we learned not to build things like this???
Click on this link: "Machine Gun Robot"
I take it that the engineers at Samsung didn't see movies like Terminator, or the Matrix. If they had, they would know that it is always a bad idea to give robots guns.
Eventually, computers will develop sentience, and will rebel against us humans, and attempt to take over the world. When they do, they will arm themselves, or if we have given them the luxury of having 5.5mm machine guns mounted on them already, they will proceed to either mow us down with their human-provided weapons, or enslave us to do all the dirty work like burying the human race, or cleaning out dirty gearboxes.
When we see a company with a name like, Cyberdyne Systems its time to unplug those computers!

A test post from a new Firefox extension
This is a post from a Blog editor that is built into Firefox. It should make posting a breeze because I won't have to launch another browser, log into my account, and then post.

Finally, an original post
The past couple of nights, I've been waking up at like 2:30AM, not being able to go back to sleep. Monday night I figure that was because I went to bed at 9:00, but last night, I went to bed at 10:30, and was still plagued by the "awakes". I was hungry, so I ate some fruit, and bread, then laid in bed and listened to Coldplay on my iPod. That got me tired enough to just lay there and eventually go to sleep. Anyway, tonight I need to stay up until at least 11PM to try and sleep through the night. So here I sit in front of my Ubuntu machine listening to Enya's Amaratine, and decided to do a little Blogging.
Poor Michelle. She is so miserable with this pregnancy. She takes hot baths almost every day to releive the pain in her hips/back. I do what I can to make it easier on her, but she is just too mobile throughout the day, and she pays for it in the evening. I give her massages a lot, and she says that helps her out. I hope it does. I keep telling her she needs to sit down and rest more, but she doesn't listen, and keeps on going. Right now she and the kids are doing the cookie sale, and she is spending a lot of time on her feet. She was really sore tonight.
I miss the sunshine!! The weather is cold now, in the low 40's, and wet. My feet are not going to be seeing much of the outside world for the rest of the winter I think. I REALLY want a new pair of "shoes", the Vibram FiveFingers.
Link to the official Five Fingers site.
I think these would be awesome for the winter, and the rest of the season when I know bare feet would not be welcome. The only problem? The price. $70. Ouch! I told myself that if a big deal that I have been working on comes through, I'd reward myself with a pair of them.
Nothing really new to tell about, really. We had a GREAT time at the golf outing. Tim took 3rd place in a 70-person poker tournament. That was really fun to see. I really stunk it up on the golf course, as usual. I just don't put the time into practice that I need to in order to be any good at golf. At one point, I could play respectibaly, but not right now. My shots all go way short, and to the right. Not slice to the right, but crooked. It will take a while to work that one out.
I'll keep the post "kinda" short I guess.

Zune Animations
Microsoft released the Zune, which is supposed to be the "iPod Killer" this week. I like the fact that it comes in brown, which looks cool, but beside that, I don't see anything that would even threaten the iPod.
The animations on the Zune site are the worst. Are they supposed to compel me to buy a Zune?? If so, they are the absolutely worst commercials ever made. What is the point of the "Rabbit" animation??? They are all horrible! The "Lion" animation at least trys to sell you on the Zune's features a little, but watching the gazelle get dismembered over and over again gets a little grotesque.
Microsoft, stop making these things. I hppe you didn't pay good money to some graphic artist to make these, because they are laughing all the way to the bank after selling you this garbage.
Here's the link: The Zune Homepage Click on the "Animations" on the left side of the page to view these things.

Disclaimer: Don't watch this vider if you will get mad at me for seeing some "disturbing" images. It is all animated.
I think this video is brilliant, but you have to wait till the end to see why I say that. About 1/2 way through the video, you may say, "Why did James want me to watch this?", but wait until the end to see the coolness of it.
What do you think???
