This is Joy's new look. Officially. My daughter has to wear glasses, she's farsighted (dad's side! Everyone on my side is near-sighted). But hey she wanted to look like Mommy, she picked the frames (first choice too), but ... we all like them and she can see now. :) And for anyone who knows me and remembers, I had a thing for tortoiseshell glasses for the longest time too. But I don't think Joy has seen those, but the shape of these are definitely something I have worn over the years.
Yesterday we got manicures and pedicures with my friend Susan. 14 years since we've seen each other!!! It was fairly relaxing, I want to do it again without the distraction of kids. So hard to talk about some things when there are impressionable ears around. And now to ... walk the dog, help Josh study for finals and write my paper for my final. I need a few more free days...

OK, so my mom said i looked liked I was losing rolls around the middle. This encouraged me to try and lose a little more weight. I feel lighter and my jeans sort of need a belt, but i still have more dunlop than I would like.
This is my goal ....
well, not the boobs. I'll never have the boobs.

Laziness Is The Father Of Repetition

Me: “Hello, this is ***.”
Caller: “Is this %%%%?”
Me: “No, I’m sorry. You have the wrong number.”
Caller: “Oh, sorry.”
Me: “It’s okay…goodbye.”
(They hang up, but seconds later, the phone rings.)
Me: “Hello, this is ***.”
Caller: “Is this %%%%?”
Me: “No, you’ve dialed the wrong number again.”
Caller: “Oh, sorry.”
(The hang up … phone rings again.)
Me: “If you keep hitting redial, you’ll just keep getting the same wrong number.”
Caller: “How did you….oh!” *hangs up*

Samsung demonstrates e-passport with flexible OLED display
How cool is this?Definitely time to get passport paperwork started. Can;t even go to TJ without one these days.

It's been a tick since we've heard anything noteworthy on the e-passport front (that's probably a good thing, truth be told), but Samsung SDI and German security printer Bundesdruckerei are out to break the silence. The two have teamed up to demonstrate a passport that boasts a "slim and bendable" OLED color display within a "polycarbonate data page." Predictably, the aforementioned display can be used to "provide a raft of information including a video of the document holder." It's also noted that the units will be heat-resistant, enabling officials to laminate the cards and make them less susceptible to manipulation. Information about a potential release date wasn't divulged, but it sure sounds like this stuff is dangerously close to being ready for use.

Simply Adorable!
In these days of technological and information overload, sometimes we all need to see the cuddly side of a piece of gadgetry. My wife, Mrs gadgetshop has a very close and personal relationship with her Kenwood Chef. And who am I to get in the way of true love? For my own sins, I have formed a close personal bond with my old Acorn Electron, and now have it framed above my writing bureau at home. (Being about as powerful as the processor in my washing machine, it's pretty much useless for everything else).
Now there's an answer for the legions of people who bombard the gadgetshop postbag with requests to make the hassle of listening to MP3 music from an MP3 player just a touch less, well, antiseptic. They shouldn't all be white and look like they're heart monitors, now, should they? No indeed. Which is why the set of iPals we have on test at gadgetshop HQ are rather endearing little critters.
Coming complete with an audio cable for connection to any number of iPods or MP3 players, these alien-looking dudes are in fact the home for two cuddly 8.5cm stereo speakers. Positioned on the end of two flexible limbs, offering full rotation and bendability, the speakers will relay your music of choice at the end of your bed, or on your desk, in perfect high fidelity. Cleverly powered by their own batteries, the iPals won't even drain the power from your MP3 player. Which is nice of them.
And not available in the US? time to go surfing

Cowboy Troy has some hella funny lyrics. You *have* to listen to this (Ain't Broke Yet) if you are needing a laugh. The title of this post comes from one of his other songs. And that "incredible" is pronounced the spanish way.
"Ain't Broke Yet"
(feat. Big & Rich)
[Chorus - Big & Rich]
Well he ain't broke yet but he's sho' nuff bendin'
Well he ain't broke yet but he's sho' nuff bendin'
Well he ain't broke yet but he's sho' nuff bendin'
Well he ain't broke yet but he's sho' nuff bendin'
[Verse 1 - Cowboy Troy]
Well, I'm three weeks late on my credit card payment
The lady on the phone said she wants to make arrangements
"Put a little down, Can you pay a little on it?"
My wallet's too flat, couldn't pay if I wanted
They're callin' on my job, I'm gettin' letters in the mail
The haters in the hood all hopin' that I fail
My pocket's on Slimfast, tank on empty
Used to have friends said they wanna stick with me
Dogs in my stomach, 'cause now I'm getting hungry
Really under pressure wanna talk to my mommy
People on the corner askin' me for change?!
Gotta find me a job with a higher pay range
I've gotta tough time trying to pay my bills
If I hit the jackpot, that'll cure my ills
My credit is a joke and the banks ain't lendin'
Ain't broke yet but I'm sho' nuff bendin'
[Chorus - Big & Rich (Cowboy Troy)]
Ain't broke yet but he's sho' nuff bendin'
Well he ain't broke yet but he's sho' nuff bendin'
(Ain't broke yet but I'm sho' nuff bendin')
Well he ain't broke yet but he's sho' nuff bendin' (What what what?)
Well he ain't broke yet but he's sho' nuff bendin'
[Verse 2 - Cowboy Troy]
The dang landlord's knockin' on my front door
Said he wants the rent from two weeks before
I want to make a call, huh I can't use the phone
That was late too, couldn't get a dial tone
Got snow on my TV, no mo' cable
Gotta use my strats, keepin' food on my table
My car note overdue, the bank's talkin' repo
Gotta take my girl to the matinee show
I'm makin' sure she takes a purse big as a tent
Sneakin' in candy bars for 89 cents
I take her to the buffet later in the evenin'
All you can eat, gotta maximize your feedin'
Gotta tough time trying to pay my bills
If I hit the jackpot that'll cure my ills
My credit is a joke and the banks ain't lendin'
Ain't broke yet but I'm sho' nuff bendin'
[Chorus - Big & Rich (Cowboy Troy)]
Ain't broke yet but he's sho' nuff bendin'
(Ain't broke yet but I'm sho' nuff bendin')
Well he ain't broke yet but he's sho' nuff bendin'
(What am I?, What am I, What am I?)
Well he ain't broke yet but he's sho' nuff bendin'
(What what what?)
Well he ain't broke yet but he's sho' nuff bendin'
(Sho' nuff!)
[Tag - Cowboy Troy]
See we live in a world of false pretense
If it don't make dollars, it don't make sense
My credit is a joke, the banks ain't lendin'
I ain't broke yet but I'm sho' nuff bendin'
Livin' in a world of false pretense
If it don't make dollars, then it don't make sense
My credit is a joke, the banks ain't lendin'
I ain't broke yet but I'm sho' nuff bendin'
[Chorus - Big & Rich (Cowboy Troy) x2]
Well he ain't broke yet but he's sho' nuff bendin'
(Ain't broke yet but I'm sho' nuff bendin')
Well he ain't broke yet but he's sho' nuff bendin'
(What am I?, What am I, What am I?)
Well he ain't broke yet but he's sho' nuff bendin'
(What what what?)
Well he ain't broke yet but he's sho' nuff bendin'
(Ain't broke yet but I'm sho' nuff bendin')
It's like the Lakers playoff games
289 to 263 <-- I won. I'll have to post the other games in the series too. I lost like 2 in a row, but had won the first one. It's getting interesting.
Country kind of morning
Please Man <-- take a listen :) (that country+rap/reggae I mentioned in a tweet)
I finally got a hold of some Cowboy Troy, so I'll be listening to that today too. I made some mixed CD's and brought them to work. "American Idol" (Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, Blake Lewis, Jordin Sparks, Daughtry) and "Country Mix" (MuzicMafia members, Dixie Chicks, and Rascal Flatts).
And here I am chair dancing ("son of a 'Bad Word'" ) and working on documentation. Yeah baby, I do it all. Coding, troubleshooting, writing documentation, and training. Plus I can chair dance and type at the same time. So why am I still a contractor?
Ok, this is weird, now I am typing to the Beat of Rollin' "go cowboy go" ...

And here I have been worrying about how big my backside has been getting.
Body fat found under the skin - and particularly on the buttocks - may help reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, research suggests.
The study contrasts this subcutaneous fat with visceral fat, which is wrapped around the organs, and raises the risk of ill health.
It is thought subcutaneous fat may produce hormones known as adipokines which boost the metabolism.
The Harvard Medical School study appears in the journal Cell Metabolism.

While having a conversation with a friend about the possibilities of kids (and comparing them to animals), I managed to come up with this quip:

Cats are like teenagers. They only pay attention to you when they want something

I didn't vote for Bush, I wasn't even born yet!
May 5, 2008
This is pretty funny!
Don't speak toddler? Here's what they're saying:
"Oh please, you can't expect her to know how to run a country just because her husband did."
"Excuse me? In addition to being former first lady, she had performed admirably as New York senator."
"That's debatable."
"So is Obama's experience level. Not to mention the question of his patriotism."
"Oh don't bring up this Reverend Wright crap again. If every politician were held responsible for the words of his associates..."
"Or her associates..."
"They wouldn't..."
"This was not an associate. This was his pastor!"
"Right! This was his pastor! Not him! Not his words! You want to talk about personal accountability? How about all the 'misremembered' stories Shrill is spreading around the campaign trail?"
"Oh, and you have a perfect memory?"
"I'm not running for President!"
"Well, Bush did and look what happened."
"Why are you bringing Bush into this? I didn't vote for Bush. I wasn't even born yet!"
"My point is, it's time for men to stand aside and let a woman show America how it's done."
"Then why aren't you bashing McCain too? He's a man. You know why? Because he's white!"
"Oh, please!"
"He's white, and Barack is black, and you're a racist!"
"Well, you're a chauvinist!"
"At least my candidate didn't cry on the campaign trail!"
"Well, at least my candidates middle name isn't Hussein!"
"Oh, you did not just go there!"
"You're right, I'm sorry. That was low."
"Look, let's just come together and stop fighting. Otherwise McCain will win."
"McCain! Yes!"
11 PEOPLE ON A ROPE
Eleven people were hanging on a rope under a helicopter, ten men and one woman. The rope was not strong enough to carry them all, so they decided that one had to leave, because otherwise they were all going to fall. They weren't able to name that person, until the woman gave a very touching speech. She said that she would voluntarily let go of the rope, because, as a woman, she was use to giving up everything for her husband and kids or for men in general, and was used to always making
sacrifices with little in return.
As soon as she finished her speech, all the men started clapping .....

Student 'Twitters' his way out of Egyptian jail - CNN.com: "a graduate student from the University of California-Berkeley, was in Mahalla, Egypt, covering an anti-government protest when he and his translator, Mohammed Maree, were arrested April 10.
On his way to the police station, Buck took out his cell phone and sent a message to his friends and contacts using the micro-blogging site Twitter.
The message only had one word. 'Arrested.'"
