So I am going to try to pull off a cheezy Luke costume

So am going to try to pull off a quick Luke Skywalker costume for a party over the weekend. Ill post what ever it is I end looking like.

Finished Microserfs today...

So I went to the cafeterria to finish up Microserfs. It's kind of neat to read Microserfs and jPod right after one another. They both have the same feel but one is from the begging of the internet boom and jPod is more current. Both about very smart "geeky" people looking for a "real" life other then just codeing.

The thing is I had 20 pages togo and was ready to be done and move on to something different and then wham... the last 10 pages of the book have me almost in tears in the middle of the caffeteria. I really didnt see it coming. It's not a tottally said ending but not what I expected.

Anyway check em out if you would like to look into the coders world.

DJing would be fun...

We went to my sisters wedding this weekend. At the reception the DJ was set up with a laptop and a small selection of Cd's. Now if that was me I would get a wireless any ware card for the laptop so that if I could not have a regular wireless connection I could at least get on with the other type(Verizon, T-Mobile and what ever else is out there). I would then also have an iTunes or some music service or multiple services. I would ditch the box of Cd's and if somebody requested a song I would just go online and buy it and add it to my collection.

I requested 'Move your Feet' by Junior Senior (YouTube it and you''ll get to see the video) for Ruby. The song is on one of our DRR (dance, dance revolution) games. We used to DDR Ruby to sleep and Sarah even DDRd while pregnant. Anyway, he didn't have it (and could not get it I guess). I said I have it can I give it to you. Sure. I have it on my iPAQ. 'Does your laptop have bluetooth?' I got a blank stare back from him. It probably did and I either shocked him with the question or he never used it before. OK, how about an SD slot. Yep it had that. So he got the song of the SD card and played the song a bit later.

The second the song started Ruby recognized it and ran up to the dance floor. It's always nice to interject some music that nobody has ever heard before.

So that was my 'gadget moment' of the weekend...

What a name...

A pro-Skater from my time, Christian Hosoi had a son recently. They named him Christian Classic Hosoi

Interesting but this guy always seemed snooty to me...

Blog Juice Calculator ?

Im not quite sure what this is but it looks interesting. Actually it is some sort of blog rating.



I am going to put it in my side bar of stuff

Reason for the infrequent posts... like anyone cares

Whew.. I have been working on these MS Office courses at work in the morning when I ussually BLOG so that why I have not updated for a while... I squeeze some stuff in here and there...

Google Docs beta...

Google just added a wordprocesser to there list of online apps. I have been using the online spread sheet and now can do text docs as well. It doesnt seem like much but MS Office does way more than I'll ever need. If I could ever uninstall it and just use web apps I would...

Wahoo... it works. I can now sync the iPaq to Google Calendar

OK, well it's cool for me.

I can now enter a date in google calender and then sync it to my iPaq calander.

I can even give access to my calendar to Sarah and she can enter an appointment and then I will have a reminder once I sync up...

Here is how it works.

Google Calendar syncs with ScheduleWorld.com which i use sync4j on the iPaq to sync with. No more middle man of using Outlook on the PC.

mmm...free pizza at work...

I think I'll gorge out and then go home and regurgitate for the family...

Possible sync solution from Google Calendar to outlook to iPaq

Wooo... crazey late updates...

Here is the skinny...

Got to skate last week or so at the Radnor Park. Very nice day didn't get hurt and hit all of my basics on the mini-ramp.

Ahhh... skimmed through another super tight payperiod and started on another.

Had a great yearly review at work. Got promoted to a HDA2 which I think is a 4% pay increase and then got a 2 for my overall review and that can be another 3 to 4%. Anything will help!

Gryphon turned 7... (I had seen StarWars by his age. Not saying that he should see it yet, just thinking about the age releationship.) We ROCKED Giggleberry Fair(google it) and then slid home for family B-Day party.

Sarah and I are looking for our Project Runway fix. No new show for two weeks. And, AND there were no new American Dad, Family Guy and the new show to our line up the Simpsons.

Uhh.. I started reading Another Douglas Coupland book, Microserfs. It's just a filler untill the library gets the next Star Wars book. They are developing the first new Sith Lord since Darth Vader. Almost 30 years since A new Hope and about 45+ years in the Star Wars timeline...

Thats it for now... lets see next up is Wendy's wedding, Holloween, moms bday, Ruby's b-day, Sarahs b-day, thanksgiving... then and then all of the December stuff
