The Amazon Unbox

I have discovered the new Amazon.com Unbox service.

These people are evil. They are finding more and more ways for me to use their evil One-Click feature.

Dammit, if I miss an episode of my new favorite TV show I can download it for $1.99 and watch it right then.

I can even transfer it to my TIVO!! or the video iPods!

Oh the Humanity.

I just one clicked an episode of the orginal Twilight Zone that we were talking about today.

Try this!

I saw this way to create your own Album Cover. What you see to the right is what I came up with.

1. Use the random Wikipedia article feature — the title of the article that appears is the name of the band.
   
   
2. The name of the album is the last four words of the last quote on the random quotes page at Quotations.com.
   
   
3. For the cover art, use the third image that appears when you visit Flickr’s interesting photos for the last 7 days.

Craigslist

I love craigslist.org for so many reasons.

I always check out the free section every day. I have gotten tons of stuff from there. Six of my collection of recliners, several of the taxidermy heads in my collection, several other collectibles, pieces of furniture and other stuff.

--I drive Brenda crazy with links for campers and classic pickups!

Field Trips

It's been years since I have done any serious traveling.

In the last 4 months I have traveled more than I have in the previous 4 years. With more to come.

My next trip is to California. I have not been there for over 10 years and that was to LA. This next trip is to San Fransisco. The BEST part is I will get to visit one of my brothers while I am there!! I have never had the opportunity to visit him since he moved there.

I travel with all this stuff I never needed before these days.

Laptop, PDA, cell phone, pager and digital camera.
My GPS and maps up to date!
DVDs to watch on the plane.

--Gone are the day of taking an OMNI magazine and a paperback novel!

What I will Miss Most for the Next Six Months

Bacon is so good. Some religions forbid it:

Thou shall not kill
Thou shall not steal
Thou shall not eat bacon...

--MMMmmmmmmm

The Road to 3.0

So I started working on the next phase of modifications to the home theater.

This is the scary phase for the wife! I actually began ripping into drywall and opening a new doorway into the theater.

I actually discovered that there are other "Tree House" home carpenters that suck worse than me at home improvement! When I broke into the wall I found a very amusing set of tree house features! Lots of reused lumber that was the wrong sizes and filled with bent nails and blood stains!

The one thing that worried me was moving a light switch. Electricity can kill you. But it was an easy move. It's already done.

Drywall, paint and a bit of tile will finish off the new doorway. The items that remain for Home Theater 3.0:

1) Tiered seating
2) Sceen Framing
3) Carpet
4) Lighting
