Lori Dies

Lori dies. I managed to find a replacement battery and it appeared I had her resurrected. It required quite a bit of doing, including some not too pleasant soldering action. She managed to regain life and work for another two and a half days. Something blew in the power supply unrelated to the battery replacement. This produced a sad puff of smoke. It turned out to be a part I could not replace. The final poof of smoke indicated the ghost in the shell was gone. She passed away for the last time, September 27th 2008. This is to you Lori, the best girlfriend I ever had.

Rackspace Mini Cooper

Rackspace gave this Mini Cooper away to a lucky person in a drawing. The contestants were those who refereed new employees. If I recall correctly, it says "I won this car for referring brilliant people for Rackspace!"

Ugly Mug Coffee

Noticed this at the supermarket. The expressions of the people on these bags are hilarious. Literally they are of "ugly mugs" and that "just got out the bed" look. This is some smart advertising!

Interesting Tool

I never knew this tool existed. It is designed to paint a perfect line with just a regular can of spray paint. I am intrigued by its simplicity.

A New Friend

Dave thought this guy could use a tie. We thought he could then use some hair. Together, we have given life to an easily ignored piece of equipment.

My New Couch - Expensive!

I learned my lesson. Never ask a woman for her opinion about furniture, she ends out always picking the most expensive in the list of choices. This is what happened here. Gave a list of possible couches I was looking at to my mom for a second opinion and she picks this one. So did every other female I asked to pick from the list. *sigh* I do love this couch though, so I bought it anyway. You womens be killing me with your expensive taste!

My New 46 inch TV, Samsung LN46A650

So after 3 years of using a 14 inch TV, I pulled the trigger and bought a new TV. This is the new TV, the Samsung LN46A650. This is actually the second one I had delivered which replaced the one that the delivery guys damaged in transit (this is not the damaged one photographed here). Finally I get to enjoy the present I gave myself!

My Old "Hi-Def" Toshiba TV

No one believes that I been solely using this TV for the last 3 years. It is a 14 inch widescreen tube HD TV (480i). The Sprite can is in this picture to give size reference.

My New TV DOA!

So I waited 3 years to buy a TV to replace my crappy 14 inch tube TV. When I finally pulled the trigger on this new Samsung LN46A650, the delivery guys damage it in transit! At least it was exchanged for a new one a week later by the vendor.

Killer Balloons!

Man, I haven't seen these since I was little, back in the 80's, and even then it was freaking dangerous! Look at all the warnings! I remember the fumes would make you dizzy it was some really nasty stuff. You really want your kids to play with flammable fume producing toys in their mouth?! They still sell this stuff?! Unbelievable!

On The Go Coffee?

I think we are going a little too far with these "On The Go" sized drinks. Honestly are you going to put instant coffee in your water bottle?

Biker Gang

Due to the recent price of gas, more people at work are driving motorcycles. This is getting ridiculous, people are going to start thinking we work for a biker gang!
