Stuff

Went to Main Event Monday night, that was pretty fun. Van probably has pictures of the event (which he should post, nudge nudge). Nancy dumped her purse on me for a while and made all my coworkers think she was my girlfriend. Silly Nancy.

We’ve been playing quite a bit of pool recently, and I’m starting to like it a lot. I think pool would be something cool to get really good at, so I’m gonna try to do that more often. I’m telling you, when I get a house, I’ll probably buy a pool table and foosball table before a big screen TV. Shuffle board might be tricky…

I want to get a macro lens and a flash for my camera… speaking of which, Canon Digital Rebel XT comes! Oh yeah, I want a hot girlfriend with a perpetual baby panda too. lol

Farewell to Andrew

We’re all growing up. =( Andrew is leaving to Florida on Wednesday early in the morning, so today we spent time hanging out at Main Event (got pics I’ll upload later that a bunch of people took using my camera). It’s been a lot of fun these past few years, Andrew. Good luck in grad school! Here’s to you:

LEGO Maniacs!

In part one of the farewell to Andrew events, we played “LEGO Pictionary”… was quite fun and the games were close! Cookies + LEGOs + Spongebob Square Pants = Win. Although we didn’t get the opportunity to watch much SBSP.

There ya go =)

Mighty Mouse My Butt.

I think I’m pretty tired of seeing Mighty Mouse news/reviews now. The thing is way overrated. It’s something Apple should have had years ago. Here’s what I think: it is overpriced, and offers no features another mice couldn’t do just as good. With MAYBE the exception of the “360 degrees scrolling,” but that was iffy when I used it. Even then, there are Microsoft/Logitech/whatever mice that can do that too, though, I could see the argument that maybe, just maybe not quite as good, but it’d probably come down to personal preference at that point. Of course, the only time I could see this coming in handy is in maybe… Photoshop when you’re zoomed in.

It can’t even do “advanced mouse maneuvers” like holding down the right/left button, and then (while still holding), press (and then maybe hold) the other button. If you’ve ever used a 3D editor, this technique is very handy. And (though this occurs more rarely and probably isn’t that big of a deal), you can’t click, then pick up the mouse while holding your click.

I swear, Apple’s marketing department is so good it drives me crazy when they get people to buy these things…

And people complain about Microsoft copying Apple…

Oh wait, it has aural feedback?!?!?!! WELL HOLY CRAP, BATMAN. I’m going to the Apple Store now. sigh

Downtime?

OliverWEB may or may not be down in the next 12-24 hours for a few hours due to domain name transfer…

In other news, I get new toys to play with at work! Woot! QVGA/VGA LCD displays, development boards, and Linux = fun. =)

That is all.

Ladidadada

It’s rare that I have a hard time getting to sleep, but yesterday night was kinda tough for me, not sure why. Ideas just kept flying into my head from everywhere and random “mock conversations” were going on and everything. Kinda weird.

Bought a bunch of new clothes at Lakeline with the sisters. New wardrobe is growing at a decent pace…
