Moonlit Jazz

“Speak Low” by Andy Bey

We got a new vehicle! A 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. So yes, it’s only “new” to us; it’s been around. I like it! It has a moonroof, which is always nice. I’ll have to remember to take a picture of it sometime soon. 😉

Cruzer Mini 256MB

I couldn’t get my Lexar JumpDrive Secure to work, so we took it back to CompUSA and exchanged it for the Cruzer Mini. When we got home, we plugged the Cruzer into the PowerBook and a moment later it appeared! Woohoo! Now I can work on files on either machine. Very cool…

Survivor

Congrats to the winner of the “consolation” $1 million dollars. Right, I’ll take a consolation prize of that amount any day. 😛 The person who won deserved it…

Bummer.

A little gardening…

I hope I didn’t kill my rose bushes. I tried to clean them up a bit today. You know, snip off the dead stuff and all of that. Made a nice mess. Still, it was nice going outside, iPod playing country music into my ears and a cool breeze blowing. I’m glad we’ve got tall trees that offer up lots of shade. I was wearing long sleeves (don’t want to get too many thorn pricks), so I appreciated the cooler weather. 😉

I should get a chair and a little table and plop myself outside with my PowerBook and write away. Or I could just open up the sliding door and let the breeze blow into the house through the screendoor. So many choices…

Menechino traded to Toronto – Well, can I just say I’m surprised? And a little sad! I like Frankie! But I knew it wasn’t a good sign when they optioned him to Sacramento. Well, I wish him well and I hope this means he gets some playing time…

Oakland 2, Detroit 1 at Comerica Park

Losing Pitcher – Jeremy Bonderman (3-2)

Woohoo, a win for the boys! Now they’re over .500. I love it! 😀

Blogger things

I’m not sure I like the way this new phase of Blogger archives daily posts. It looks icky if you click on the archived page because it’s in its own folder, which messes up the formatting of the page. I am not going to sit here and add the css file to each and every file that has the page. Maybe not I have to do one of those absolute link things when I format my pages. Pain in the ass!

Otherwise, I like all the new stuff. I’m really into the whole emailing a post to the blog. I really wish it had been up and ready when I was in Hawaii. I would have loved posting from my Blackberry while I was sitting at breakfast overlooking the blue blue water.

I miss Kauai!

Hump day…

I think it’s a little odd that I still keep track of the days like I’m working. Hump day? It should just be another day. Not a weekend day, but just another day. Yet I still keep track of it as if I’m out there pounding the pavement. Oh well.

I like this not working thing. Unemployed. Wow, it’s still an interesting sensation. Oh, but I’m definitely enjoying it. 😀

Anniversary thank you cards are out!

I finally got off my lazy butt and finished off our thank you cards last night and they went off into the mail today. Woohoo for me! So now I can officially point out the link to the pictures from our party.

10 Year Anniversary Party

Yes, I’ve been married for TEN YEARS. If we were a celebrity couple, we’d probably be considered OLD. LOL! 😛 But nah, we’re just a normal (somewhat) couple who actually cherish our lives together. Wow, that sounds totally sappy. 😛

And I was about to post, but…

Our internet went down! The husband thinks it’s a coincidence that the internet went down just as he was about to play his Playstation2 game. Hmm, but is it a coincidence? We shall see…

I can’t believe I’ve waited this long to send thanks to those who have visited and commented on my weblog. You all ROCK! Here we go…

JumpDrive Secure woes

I bought the 256MB Lexar JumpDrive Secure because I wanted something small to work files between my PC and my PowerBook. I thought, why not one of those groovy thumbdrives? Yeah right.

The device works super in the PC. The Safeguard program pops up right away and everything is groovy. But when I stuck the drive into my PowerBook, nothing happened. Grrr!

Hopefully something can be done because I really like the thought of having a thumbdrive to use between my two machines.

Of course, I could just use my iPod, assuming I don’t actually fill up the whole thing. (And we really shouldn’t asssume that since I’ve already used over half of my iPod’s capacity.) But it’s rather genius if I use my iPod. I can connect it to my PowerBook, listen to the music on it and write documents that I can save to my iPod. And then I can come back to my PC and edit the documents here too.

But I still want the thumbdrive to work!

TechTV and G4

The FAQ at what will be the new site when they become one on May 28th.

Looks like almost all my favorite TechTV shows are going along for the ride. The most glaring omission is Call For Help. NOT FAIR! They must have Leo there!!! Maybe he can slide back over to The Screen Savers. Not that I don’t like the current trio of Patrick, Kevin, and Sarah. But LEO, we must have Leo!

Oakland A’s at Detroit Tigers

I haven’t gotten my postgame email, so go read the boxscore. 😉

Go A’s! Another extra innings game and after 15 they got the win. I like it!

I really like my PowerBook. 🙂

I’m writing on my Blackberry. A test kind of thing. I’m hoping it doesn’t do that strange line break thing.

The A’s/Detroit game is on, bottom of the 13th. Extra innings games are fun to watch. :). It’ll be nice if the A’s win. More later!
