So I had an interesting thought this morning…
The dow went down 777 yesterday which was 7% (truly 6.98%, but everywhere is rounding up) after the house didn’t pass the bill for a 700 billion bailout/rescue.
I noticed that there are a lot of 7s.
Think it means anything?
This looks awesome. I can’t wait until July 15th.

I was on the treadmill trying to run 6 miles. Only got to 4.5. Anyway, I noticed in front some lady was going to get on the bikes. She went and got some paper towels and cleaned down every part of the bike it seemed like. More than one usually does. Anyway, I noticed when she left she didn’t bother cleaning it off after her. Honestly, I’m the kind of guy, that if I leave a big patch of sweat on the seat, I’d rather clean it up right after.. so the next bloke doesnt have to clean up dried out sweat. But I guess that’s her style.

I received this at the beginning of one an email from a customer today.. thought it was kind of funny.
Hi cassidy (sorry for the formatting of this my caps don’t work and my enter key doesn’t work)…
All one line. However, it looks like ’shift-H’ worked at the beginning..
So yeah. If I want to go to Europe I need to get a current passport. Mine expires this May. So last Monday I went into the local post office and mailed in my passport renewal form (good thing they allow me to type in all the info into the PDF and print, I hate filling those things out by hand), my old passport (yes, I get it back..they say), and my $75.00 renewal fee.
Turns out they cashed the $75.00 check yesterday (Friday) four days after I mailed it, so I checked the passport status online and sure enough the status says:
We have finished processing your passport, and it has been mailed to you.
So I should get it next week. Now that is a quick turn around time. I am impressed.
The HDMI port on my TV has been acting up over the last few months. Most recently while watching Heroes on DVD. At random times I lose signal from the DVD player for 1-2 seconds. This bugs. I have also seen this when plugging the 360 into the HDMI port as well. Sucks even more when you’re in Live rocking it up at Halo and in the process of beating someone down when the screen goes dark for a second or two. When it comes back.. you’re dead. That really sucked btw. Soo.. I checked my little warranty I got when I purchased said TV. I have four years. Good thru May 24th, 2009. So tomorrow I will give old “Repair Master” a call and see what they can do for me. I’m not expecting much, but who knows.
However, looking at new TVs I found one that will suit my needs quite nicely. The Samsung HL-T5676S. Same dimensions (more or less) as the old one. I have a fitted place for the TV in my home, cant be more than 52 inches wide or it wont fit. This one is 1080p, mine is only 1080i/720p. This one is only $1199 online + shipping. Mine.. well, was quite a bit more when I bought it. This one has THREE, HDMI ports.. mine only one. So do I try and sell my existing one to pay for the majority of the upgrade? I was thinking $700-$800?? Seems like such a shame for the price I paid for it.
I’ve gotten many a good hour out of Mr. Existing TV. But, just was thinking .. if some family member or friend would give me $800 for it, I could use my state tax refund (if it ever shows up) to pay for the remainder.. Hmm…
So I was chatting with my sister last night about dinner. It went something like this:
SISTER: Dinner is at 7:30pm.
ME: Good, because The Office is on at 8pm, NEW. IN HD.
SISTER: TiVo it, so you can start 10 minutes into it and dont see any commercials.
ME: My TiVo doesnt do HD
SISTER: All the shows you ever watch are in HD, why dont you get a TiVo HD?
ME: $$$. Maybe you can get me one for Christmas or B-Day
SISTER: How much are they?
ME: $300
Turns out NewEgg has one for $249. I bought one, and a 1TB SATA drive to hack/upgrade the internal 160GB drive. This will allow me to record those shows that I love to watch in HiDef (OTA) and not have to worry about interrupting my busy schedule to work it around the HD schedule.
I originally bought my TiVo Series 2 DVR at least three years ago. It has done well, I originally upgraded its drive to a 360GB when I bought it. Before I even turned it on, I did the magic “Blessing” to get the new drive to work.
Here’s hoping I’ll get another 3-years of great DVR action from TiVo HD.
