Want

The environmental law society is raffling this solar charger. I just spent $10 on tickets. (i also ordered two phone batteries on amazon last week... Hopefully they'll show up soon. thanks (e:paul)) hopefully I won't ever be traveling or having a long dayagain and run out of phone.

It's in whatever the current Microsoft asp.net thing is, so it's gonna have some clunky to it. And little things like not being able to designate a "shipping address" and a "billing address" - something so obvious shouldn't be a problem. They have a "primary address" and a "shipping address" but it seems like when I change one, it changes the other. I think their billing system isn't actually integrated which is just sad.

heidi writes at 01:17:47 04/23/11 - Comment #61970: Oh, the reason I picked ThemisBar.com is that it's entirely online, designed from the ground up to be online. I took the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE) review course from them and I got a 105 - I only needed an 85 for NYS and 75 for PA, so I was pleased. I didn't feel like I had put in a huge amount of effort to get that score, the online lectures were short and effective, with nice fill-in-the-blank outlines to make you pay attention and retain stuff by writing. The review question bank was good and I was able to see the patterns in the questions. Their bar passage rates are quite good.

heidi writes at 01:13:35 04/23/11 - Comment #61969: I didn't win the charger :-( I won a discount on a bar review course that I already bought www.themisbar.com ... maybe I'll get a refund for the difference. Original price $1395. I got a $145 discount for registering at the Cornell conference, and now an additional $250 discount, so $1,000. Other people are paying $3,500 for a review course that you have to go to a lecture hall every day to watch a video.

paul writes at 12:01:09 04/20/11 - Comment #61914: omfg, I want one of those. I wonder how good they really are.

tinypliny writes at 05:24:04 04/19/11 - Comment #61908: LOL, I first read it as Solarbilly. (Billy means cat at home. :-)

tinypliny writes at 05:22:15 04/19/11 - Comment #61907: OMG. Now I want you to win. GO HEIDI HEIDI HEIDI!!!!!!!!!!!

heidi writes at 05:21:07 04/19/11 - Comment #61906: Hopefully I will win and be able to report back. :-)

tinypliny writes at 05:12:24 04/19/11 - Comment #61903: That's a really cool concept. How long does a cellphone need to charge with that? Do you think it will work with any light (not just sunlight?) You have to think about that on gloomy days like today.

Beef on weck station

I'm having ravioli but I'm watching the bar tender prep sandwiches at connor's restaurant in west seneca. All the bar munchies I've tried so far have been really yummy.

Bear cub

I could tell (e:terry) didn't quite believe me that seeing bears is a pretty common thing at home. There was a bear cub hanging around my former house at home this morning. A neighbor posted these on fb and I stole them since I couldn't share them on fb. Someone commented, "yeah that same one was way up by my house yesterday around 3"

Terry won!

Terry won a cup stacking game as part of the buffalo science museum beerology fundraiser. This is a very fun event. I was surprised we didn't see anyone we knew... well, someone recognized me and handed me four unused drink tickets, and some stranger handed us an additional two drink tickets... Did I mention it was fun? We heard Peter Jablonski talk about the history of breweries in Buffalo. We looked at several science museum exhibits. As a former DC-area resident, I perceived it as more like a museum of old museum exhibits than a serious museum. At the same time, the WNY exhibits were kinda cool, and Stuffy the bison was very cute. Snowshoe rabbits... not so much. Chruscikis are yum, the pizza was gross. K Sisters Pierogi - yum.
