The wife made the best meatloaf for super. It had carrots in it. Who knew carrots were awesome in meatloaf? #
Not super. Supper. Missed a P in there. #
My day off and I was able to sleep until 6am. I had to force myself to sleep that late. I am sure in the habit of getting up early. #
Wow. Amazon bought Audible. I wonder what this is going to mean for me as an Audible user?...
Science at Work →
Something cool just happened. I grabbed a bottle of tea from our fridge in the garage. It’s been super cold here so I checked to make sure it wasn’t frozen. It wasn’t. It was all liquid. The second I opened it, part of it froze. I saw it freeze. It must have been super cold, but when under pressure the freezing temperature was lower. The second I relieve the pressure it was below it freezing point...

Science is Cool →
I am a science geek. I love all things about science. When I was a kid I loved Mr. Wizard, and wished there were more shows like that for kids. When I was in high school I took all the science classes I could. Most people took sluff classes with their extra credits. I took physics. Still, it doesn’t take long for science topics to go over my tiny brain. Some thing get complex fast. Every week I...

Glad that I got a four day weekend after today. #
I wish caffeine affected me better. I was dragging ass so I stopped at Starbucks. I’m still dragging ass. Bedtime will be early tonight. #

Up early with coffee, oatmeal, and TWiT. Good stuff. I don’t work until afternoon, but still got up at 5am. Am I crazy? #
It sucks when Audible has the books I want, but I can’t get them because I am in the US. #
Time to venture out into the cold and head to work. #
48deg below zero windchils. FUN! #

500 XL, Desktop Speakers in the Shape of Giant... →
Quirky products company Fred has created the 500 XL, a really cool set of desktop speakers made in the shape of giant iPod earbuds, 500 times the original size.
Sometimes bigger IS really better, especially when it comes to sound. That’s why we took a puny pair of earbuds, put them in Fred’s highly technical Way Big machine, and created 500XL - it’s 500 times the size of the original! How great...
Weather →
So yesterday was the nicest day of the year so far. It got up to 37º. I was a little worried because A storm was coming it and I didn’t want any freezing rain. Freezing rain is the worst. It fucks up the roads, impossible to get off the sidewalks and driveways, and if windy, snaps power lines. It did get super windy last night and still is. Luckily the temperature has dropped like a rock. It is...

@geeknews Looks like you are getting too use to double Gs in the word dig? #
Wow. Feels like spring. 36º out. Too bad the temp is suppose to drop by 45º by tomorrow. Tomorrows high is going to be -5º. #

Legos Turn 50 →
This morning when I was reading my feeds before work I read that Legos turned 50 today. I, like most people my age, loved Legos. I had a ton of them and I kept them in a wooded tool box that I make in Cub Scouts. Sometimes I wish I could still play with them, but sadly they left when my Mom had a rummage sale. To this day I still wonder where my tool box with Legos is at. I hope they are still in...

I love getting up early on my days off. It’s just after 7 and I have been up for 2 hours and got lost of stuff done. Sadly no football 2day. #
So nice out today. 34º and I haven’t even been outside yet....

What to do? What to do? →
This feels strange. It’s a weekend that I have off with no plans. I think I get about two of them a year. I am even all caught up on my feed reading and my podcast listening. What am I to do? I guess I can actually play some XBox. Maybe even watch my Netflix movie. Like I said. It feel real strange to be caught up without much to do. I kinda like it.

Weekend Update →
Not much happened this weekend. I worked all weekend, and tried to stay warm. It was well below zero all weekend. Leaving for work at 5:30 AM when it is -25º is not fun. It seems like we are out of the deep freeze for a while. It has warmed up to 2º already today.
Because of work I missed the New England vs. San Diego game. We listened to it on the radio. I don’t think I missed too much. I got...

The Coldest Place in the Universe →
Where’s the coldest spot in the universe? Not on the moon, where the temperature plunges to a mere minus 378 Fahrenheit. Not even in deepest outer space, which has an estimated background temperature of about minus 455°F. As far as scientists can tell, the lowest temperatures ever attained were recently observed right here on earth.

That got me thinking if I grew up with anybody...

What I Want From Apple →
Did Apple really need another laptop model? Sure the MacBook Air is thin and sexy. Sure Apple makes a lot of money selling sexy. I just don’t see the point of the MacBook Air. It is the same size as the MacBook, just thinner. I don’t know if people will pay $600 more just for skinny. Who am I kidding. I am sure a ton of people will, but I will not. What people really wanted was something smaller...

A coworker of mine was at the Green Bay vs. Seattle playoff game over the weekend. He brought some pictures to work. They were amazing. Lambeau Field looked amazing.

It would be great to see that stadium in my lifetime. I also want to go to the...
