Experiments in Life

So, I’m supposed to like respond to these four words….here goes.

1. Cold - That’s what it’s usually like in my office. Perhaps a better way to describe it would be freezing…but cold works

2. Beauty - When I was at camp, we use to sit around the campfire and tell stories. And when the smoke would come around and blow in your face making you wheeze and cough, the counselor would always tell us that smoke followed beauty. And I continued the tradition when I became a counselor. Personally, I think they told that to all the little girls at camp

3. Green - The color of the talking Yoda I have sitting on my desk at work. My brother and his wife gave it to me one year for Christmas. I love it. I’ve always been a fan of Yoda-speak

4. Book - The thing that multiplies rapidly at our house. Currently, I am way behind in my reading. My husband keeps begging me to read certain books. Unfortunately, I never seem to pick up the ones he wants me to. I think he has given up on me Don’t give up yet, Jon. There is always hope….Martin is on my list next…I promise

Let’s see, I think I’m supposed to tag for people. Most of my friends, including my husband (Thanks Geof) have already been tagged, but I think I can still name a couple left off.
1. Jeff
2. Kat

Well, I had more people to tag but Misty got her post up before mine so I lost out on a couple of people. Oh well, guess I will only tag two!

Your four words are:
1. frog
2. blue
3. space
4. ruler

Ok, so I am way behind about posting this. My nephew was born on September 6 at 7:51pm! Erin and Tim have been sending out pictures so I figured that I would make sure that everyone could see them. I will keep adding to the gallery as I receive more pictures, so stay tuned!

Update 10-14-2006: I added a few more pictures to the photo album. These are the latest I have gotten.

Ok, so I do not knit, crochet, or sew. However, one of the sites that I have been reading lately has linked to the Binary Hat. Basically, the site gives a description of how to make a hat that encodes the word “hat” in binary in the pattern of light and dark stripes. I appeals to the the inner-geek (and the outer-geek) in me.

Tivo has released its Series 3 Tivo at a whopping $799. I have been waiting for this to come out instead of jumping on the Series 2 bandwagon since I am looking to upgrade to an HDTV at some point in the near (for some unspecified value of near) future. Unfortunately, the cards are not playing in my favor. To get HD, your cable provider must support CableCARD. Guess who has no plans to support CableCARD? That’s right, Knology. So, if I ever want HD, I will probably have to jump ship and go with something like DirectTV or Dish Networks. At that point, a Series 3 will do me no good, since the Series 3 Tivo does not support satellite.
