3 Fun Days... Movie, CAI Picnic, and Ren Fair

The pictures for this post got a bit wonky...I may fix them at some point.
Well we made up for our not-so-fun-summer this weekend.

First Sarah and I had a night out with out the kids. We hit Rock Bottom. We got our traditional big plate-o-nachos, I had two of the seasonal beers, Rocktoberfest. Since it was my tenth visit I also got a Rock Bottom pint glass. We had a good time and then cruzed around the mall to kill some time.

I got to play with the new 80gig iPod. That this is sweet...

Then we went and saw Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. I though it was a decent Will Ferral movie (he's one of our favorites)




Saturday was the CAI Celebration of Excellance picnic. CAI allways has decent events and picnics and such. This one was in Bellview State park in DE. They presented awards and had food and it was just a nice day. They always keep the kids in mind as well.





Sunday we got up and went to the Ren Fair near New Hope and Doylestown. We went last year as well. It's a great little event. Kids under 8 are free, adults are only $5. They have a ton of stuff for k ids todo as well as the normal ren fair type things.

electronic mail, Email, email, eMail...

I like consistancy in things I do/ type. I have been trying different style of the word email. I saw a VP's email one time and he had electronic mail, which, is very smooth but way to long to type in short notes.

I've decided on e-mail from now on.

Yea for me!

from CNN :: Revenge theory in stingray attacks

People are strange...

BRISBANE, Australia (AP) -- At least 10 stingrays have been found dead and mutilated on Australia's eastern coast since "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin was killed by one of the animals last week, an official said Tuesday, prompting concerns of revenge attacks on the normally docile fish.

Refreshed the iPAQ...

Well my iPAQ was acting really bogged down, movies had a hard time playing and the wireless headphones had a really bad connection. I did a back up of the main things (contacts and calandar) , deleted everything off of the iPAQ file store (this stuff will not delete with a hard reset) and did the hard reset (a hard reset sets the iPaq to how it was new so nothing is hogging up the memory).

Now that it was back to its zippy self I reinstalled my essential applications:

- SPB Pocket Diary <- Pulls all the SPB stuff together nicely on the main screen.
- SPB Pocket Weather <- Just the weather
- SPB Pocket Plus <- Allows you to view your contacts, calandar, etc in a nicer format.
- SPB Pocket Finance <- syncs with Quicken, its a electronic checkbook
- SPB Pocket Backup <- backs up all the info
- SPB Pocket Time <- Just some clocks
- SPB Imageer <- Photo veiwer and editor, like a tiny photoshop

- Illum Software eWallet <- organizes my passwords and other accounts and such

- Skype <- I can call out to land lines with this

- Microsoft .NET CF 2.0 <- other apps require this

- Jamdat Worms <- best game I have played on the PPC so far

- TranCreative Magic Button <- When you click the X on PPC programs it leaves them running but just minimizes them, the MAgic Button actually closes them instead

- And my drivers for the bluetooth wireless headset <- I hate wires

Google Image Labeler :: Good addictive fun


Now this is fun. I ugess google wanted people to start tagging all the images that Google has links to. So they created a game out of it. You go got the site, sign in and then when you start they match you with another person for like a minute and a half. Both of you start typing words that match what is in the picture. When you both type the same words it moves to the next image. You gets point for each match... you dont really get anything but its addicting as anything.
