I want my Panasonic DMC-GH1 | |
 Captured with my 8-year-old 3.3MP Sony Cybershot DSC-S75. I guess I should be glad it still works. I have a DMC-GH1 pre-ordered. No clue when it will come, though. Various reviews and forum posts dated from March-May said it's expected to ship in early June. One on-line seller says it's expected in July. Most just say "soon." I pre-ordered mine from vanns.com yesterday, which for some reason listed it with a $100 discount, so I jumped on it. Good thing I did, because today that discount is gone. (Yeah, ok, maybe I just took their bait. If so, I wonder what they'll do once they reel me in...) Panasonic.com apparently had some in stock a few days ago, but now their site says the item is back-ordered. I guess I lost that chance. No discount there, though. |

Dear Facebook, | |
You're retarded. Exhibit A:Prev 3 4 5 Next How many links are you providing for us to navigate up to 500 search results at 10 items per page? This is a trick question. You see, some people who will already see how retarded this is on the surface know that since 4 is the current page, 3 and Prev are actually the same link, as are 5 and Next, so that's really only 2 unique links for navigation. But those people would be wrong, because they didn't consider the absurd possibility that 4 would in fact be a link... TO THE PAGE YOU'RE ALREADY ON! 3 links, bitches. Somebody get a copy of Usability for Dummies up in here. |

Happy New Year! | |
And with it, some happy news to share. :)  Jamie was kind enough to remove this from her finger long enough for me to take some pictures. She's been wearing it for almost 2 weeks now, actually, so it didn't just happen tonight, but in true slacker fashion, I'm just now getting around to updating my LiveJournal. :) We've felt engaged ever since buying the house together, really, so we're just making it official now. No big fancy proposal on one knee or anything... We picked out a ring together, and went back together a week later (plus an extra day of waiting thanks to some snow) to pick it up. No date set for a wedding yet, either, but we're pretty sure we just want a JP ceremony at town hall. Neither of us likes being the center of attention, so a big fancy wedding just doesn't make sense. |

RIT 6, Mercyhurst 2 last night. Yes, the win was nice, but I was especially happy to see STICK BOY there!!! Jamie and I didn't sit in the Corner Crew (we haven't been lately, because it's over-crowded with students now and we feel out of place, plus last night Jamie could only stay for 2 periods) so we didn't get to hear whatever he and the other senior members of the crew may have said about why he was there or how long he would be in town. We certainly heard him bang his stick though, and nobody does it as well. :) We're definitely going to try to sit in or near the Corner tonight, on the assumption that Stick Boy is in town for the weekend. |

My Ties! | |
I'm having fun with Apophysis, and after looking at a few fractals I made I thought, hey, these might make nice ties. And well, Zazzle lets anyone design a tie. So I did.   |

I'm on Vacation! | |
|
...although it hasn't felt like it yet. I left work in a rush to get home in time to eat dinner quickly before heading over to the RIT hockey game. Well, I tried to rush, at least, but traffic had other plans. Seriously, a 2-city-block stretch of road I could usually fly down during rush hour was a parking lot today, for no apparent reason, so it took me 20 mins to get through. Jamie had been equally busy today going out grocery shopping for a few things we need before we leave, and heating up my leftover pizza so it would be ready for me when I got home from work. We finally made it to the hockey game, but then after the 1st period we weren't feeling well, so we left with the Tigers up 2-0 and listened to the rest of the game on the radio from home (they ended up winning 5-1, scoring exactly 5 goals against Holy Cross for the 6th game in a row). Since we didn't plan on being home tonight, we didn't have any candy to give out to trick-or-treaters, so we left our lights off and tried to appear not home, but one group of kids still rang our bell. That was awkward. :( Speaking of Halloween, Happy Birthday to my brother and my boss! Unfortunately I have to miss my brother's Halloween party because of my vacation. But at work today, one of the engineers cooked a Thanksgiving-style feast for lunch, which was awesome. There was even pumpkin pie. Jamie hates me for that. :) Anyway, tomorrow we hit the road toward Massanutten, VA. Hopefully we'll get to relax a bunch at the time-share there, but we might volunteer for a get-out-the-vote effort in the area on the 4th (we already voted absentee here), and probably also take a short trip to visit Jamie's grandparents' graves one day, and maybe a day-trip to DC another day to visit some of Jamie's WoW friends and generally tour DC if we feel up to it. The rest of the time we'll just chill out, play Wii, eat and sleep. Ahhhh. On the way home next Saturday, we'll be paying tenthz a visit... (and I understand she'll serve lunch!)And then it's back to the grind. But at least then we'll know who the next president will be. I hope. |

I watched the end of the first home game of the season live on TV... 5 minutes from the arena. Why? Sold out before the box office even opened. At least we got our season tickets while we were there though. But even that was an ordeal... We had no cash, but only the cash-only box office had season tickets, and the cash/credit box office was closed. But we caught a staff member peaking his head in the door and he was able to run our credit card at the closed box office and give us a receipt to take to the cash-only box office, where we got to wait for their ticket machine to print out 34 tickets at 0.3 tickets per second. The sad part was that the batch of tickets included tonight's game, but they got pulled from the stack before it was handed over to us. :( Glad we won't need to worry about sell-outs for the rest of the season now. |

My quads are useless lumps of meat. Over the weekend, Jamie and I sealed our deck. We started on the railing Saturday afternoon. I started on the outside of one end and Jamie started on the inside of the other. My side involved a lot of squatting and standing back up. We didn't even finish the railing before it got too dark, so we continued Sunday morning. Once the railing was done, doing the deck surface with a roller took almost no time at all. But man, Sunday night and today, I'm feeling the effects of all that squatting. I can't walk down stairs without bracing my arms against the walls and going semi-diagonally. I also apparently can't stop myself from falling backwards by shifting weight to my heals. Those actions, and many others I've discovered lately, require functional quads. :) I'll post pictures of the awesome deck later. The nice look is just a bonus though. We were really worried what kind of water damage it would get this winter if we didn't get it sealed. |

What excuse do you have? NONE! Everybody needs a slice of pumpkin cheesecake. I hate cheese. Jamie hates ginger. Pumpkin cheesecake has both, and we both LOVE IT!!! It's magical food, and you need it. |

We're trying to watch a dive, here! | |
|
The other night Jamie and I were watching Olympic diving while a thunderstorm was passing through, when suddenly FLASH-KZZZZ-CRACK!!! (rumblerumblerumble...) Holy cow, that was like RIGHT HERE. I swear I heard each of the 8 or so individual up/down strokes of the lightning bolt that hit somewhere in back of our house... It sounded like a police tazer only much faster and louder. So, while a diver (or synchronized pair, I forget) began a dive, we were peeling ourselves off the ceiling and checking out the back windows for any trees on fire. We finally calmed down and sat back down to continue watching TV. We missed the dive, so Jamie rewinds it to watch it again, but I'm still preoccupied with the lightning strike and I say something, to which she responds, and while talking we miss the dive again. So she rewinds it again and says, "OK, let's watch this dive now." And then... *CLICK*RRRRRrrrrrrwwww..... (darkness) HA. Priceless. 3 seconds later, *lights,beeps,clicks*wwwrrrrrRRRR...*CLI OK... seriously? The power came back on about a minute later and we successfully watched the dive. Then it went out again about 5 minutes later in the same off-on-off-pause-on fashion. The DVR was probably ready to kill us. |
