Like 5 years ago my parents gave me a gift card for one that I never could use because they were out of them for like year. I ended up using the money on other crap. I guess its like pre paid if you think about it that way.

The wiiCategory: games
In a desperate attempt to play wii games I just risked all of our lives driving to Walmart in cheektovegas at 10:42, top speed to try and make it there by 11. We made it just before they closed. I dropped the guys off at the front door and they slid in as the security dude was locking it up. By the time I parked to doors were locked.

St. Patricks DayCategory: holidays
I was at Ulrichs last night for their Christmas party and I saw the St. Patrick's countdown is down to about ~90 days. Usually, St Patrick's marks the start of spring for me. I mean, how many times have we been in teeshirts then, and it hasn't even snowed yet. So I figure winter can't be that bad this year even if it starts getting shitty now.

This is very encouraging. I miss riding my bike and being hot and feeling the sun. I'm so happy that we have started very mild. Winter is good for me in different ways but I hate it.

Here is a side Business from what I have heard people have this here for club drugs... Sell a tester it would test certain things turns one color might be safe a different color has things that are toxic like the other type of Alcohol (rubbing as an example)

% 5 percent — roughly 60 million people — are alcoholics.
I think that might be an underestimate.

Apple - I still hate youCategory: apple
So I got an ipad today through work that I am going to use to test web/app dev for ipad.
1. Why still no file upload in the freakin browser. Even my old nokia bar flip phones could do that. Basically, apple just wants revenue on the apps and by not allowing upload you basically cripple web apps from being all that relevant forcing people to develop app store apps.
2. While I can probably use a corporate dev account for work stuff, if I wanted to dev anything like an estrip.org app to match the android one , I would need to spend $99 to become a developer. This isn't a one time fee, it's $99/year. That is such a rip off. Android market place publication privileges is a one time fee of $25 and you could avoid that if you just wanted to make the app available from your own website instead of the marketplace. And furthermore there are competing marketplaces like amazon's which will keep the prices low.
I mean in this case I just want to develop a free app (like the android one) that allows you to upload pics and other content to your blog. I have to keep paying $99/year?
Just as I was thinking about getting another mac as a dev laptop (for lightness sake) I came across this anger from the evening. Instead I just bought another SSD for the Dell.

How many people at work use ipads for work on a regular basis and to do what? 95+% of us seem to be stuck in encrypted slowed-down WinXP land with no hope of ever getting out. Doesn't it seem a bit odd to be pouring so much effort on web development for maybe the 1% apple fanboys?

Penasquitos Canyon PreserveCategory: hiking
Between LA and San Diego we stopped at Penasquitos Canyon Preserve. (e:Terry) saw a bobcat here. It was really pretty, despite being right down the path of a massive electricity transmission field that buzzed so much that it was loud.

Ya somehow, the paranoramic got my finger in it right under terry so it looks like he is sitting on my finger.

Yes, I thought so too. In fact, I remember seeing Nunchuk controllers in your dining room...
And a friend of mine has the same big TV as yours and he plays the wii full resolution (I think). It has some unlocking trick or something. I am not sure.
That is odd I thought you guys had the Wii I have seen people play with one at your place.....
We got it. It was a stupid last minute purchase. Turns out it is only 720P but our TV is 1080p.
So did you get it? The pictures are so misleading and so not wii. lol
