Land of the Kiwis A runner in New Zealand

Ole Buddy, Ole Pal

Tonight's been a fun night. My old friend "insomnia" came over to hang out, and we wouldn't want to waste any time sleeping now would we buddy?... buddy?... (He's shy, only comes around like once a month, just to make sure I haven't forgotten about him.) Fortunately, whenever we hang out, I always feel like I have a good excuse to just browse. You know, just click on every interesting link I see, until my browser can't handle any more tabs.

Half of what I look at are stupid techy things on Slashdot, Digg, CNet, Engadget, PCMag, lifehacker... blah blah blah. Though I did discover that I can buy a desktop, roughly 3 times as powerful as my current machine, for ~$499. Love Moore's Law. Oh, and Google might buy T-Mobile? Say whaaaaa? Free phones anyone? And very few people reading this would be interested in what I learned you can do with a wii remote and some custom software (think Minority Report).

Anyways, this week is the Olympics and I can't wait! What's your favorite event? Gotta go with downhill (alpine) skiing, love it. Love it! As I may have mentioned before, we have 4 dedicated channels so you'll be guaranteed to find me minding my own business with that buzzing in the background. Men's downhill on at 11:45 PST. I only got 5 hours to go. Wonder if I'll still be awake...

Let's see, what else,... OH! Valentine's Day tomorrow (well, later today)? That's exciting. I wonder if Brooks is finally going to have to buy someone something. Some phrase with "...the harder they fall..." comes to mind... Moving on, here's an absolute gem I found in my YouTube plundering!

This video is incredible, one of the most brilliantly creative music videos I've seen in a while (and I watch a lot of them). A real feel good too... *sigh*

OK, well that's enough for now. I'm going to hack away at the igoogle weekly NYT crossword (though it's a freakin Saturday... basically I have no hope). Peace

Damn this entry is loopy...
