Baby Birds

 

We have tried every summer to spot the babies in the nest at the back of our house, and Sara finally did it. I'm pretty impressed with the quality of the picture, just because I've never had much luck with the digital zoom on my camera.

coolness

I have long loved google maps more than its competitors (though MSN's LineDrive is really cool). One thing I've always wished for is a way to avoid areas you know are slow at a certain time of day, or take a side trip, etc. Well, Google came through for me. Now, you can just drag the line on the map, and it will map a new route with leaving the road before where you grabbed and going where you dropped.

It took a second to change poor directions to my mom's house to the better way. Thanks Google.

Google Maps New Features

uh oh

My wonderful wife has a small issue with presents. She hates waiting. Whether she's on the giving or receiving side, its pure torture for her. So, when a package arrived in the mail for me today, she let me know that I was more than free to open it early. Really, opening it is fine. If I want. I can wait, or OPEN IT NOW!!!!!!!

So I did. That naughty girl bought me a Nintendo Wii. Whatever will I do now. I'm going to stop sleeping, working and eating, I fear. After a 90 minute lunch, I managed to drag myself back to work, but I'm having trouble not searching for games to buy, figuring out how much extra remotes cost, etc. I named it BollWiivil.

Yippee! Hope the tivo doesn't get jealous.

Yummy Ice Cream

So, I had a pint of ice cream the other night. I usually make them last two nights, but before I knew it, I was past 65% gone and once you hit that, you might as well finish to avoid disappointment on night two :). It was Haagen Dazs Pomegranate Chip, one of their Reserve ice creams. If you like pomegranates, I'd zip down to the store. Quite tasty.
