A good day

1) I’ve reached 10.4 lbs of weight loss through Weight Watchers over the past 9 weeks. Down one belt loop and almost a pant size.

2) I finally sold my ’83 Yamaha Virago motorcycle, getting me down to only one extra powered two wheeled vehicle. (Anyone local want a semi-functioning 50 cc Vento Triton scooter? Really cheap?)

3) I found a great top at Anthropologie on sale for 50% off.

4)  I got my expanding battery (I’ll post pics soon of it) for my MacBook Pro replaced for free at the Natick Apple store. Yes, this is the same type of expanding Li-Ion battery that causes all those interesting random fires (in plane baggage holds, for example). No fires here however. Just a really interesting looking popping apart battery.

5) I got to hang out with my mom.

6) It was sunny and not raining or snowing.

All in all, that adds up to a darn good day in my book. :)

How high can I hear?

You can hear the frequency of the mosquito teen repellent – but probably not for much longer!

The highest pitched ultrasonic mosquito ringtone that I can hear is 17.7kHz

Find out which ultrasonic ringtones you can hear!

Guess all that folk music hasn’t damaged my hearing too much. :)

If you need a good laugh, watch this.

Star Wars (Sweded): A Cardboard Hope

 

I love the fighter pilot helmets! Ok, and the fact that bits keep falling off.

Nintendo branches out into more prounouns

So I’m at the Dunks last week (note to self post more often to blog) for Friday night pizza, and per the birthday girl’s request brought my new Wii over. Now Joe (who’s 4th birthday was also last week) loves Wii bowling. And he’s very eager for me to get it all setup, so we can play. And he says “When can play with the I?”. After he asks this several times in various forms, I get it and say “Do you mean the Wii?”. And he says “Yes. Sometimes I call it the I”. At this point, I’m just trying really hard not to laugh particularly after he agrees to that calling it the “You” on occasion would be a good idea.

So you heard it here first – coming soon to a store near you, the Nintendo Pronoun Gaming System!

Best Birthday Party Ever!

Or at least the best in Joe’s short birthday party experience. :)
