Microsoft Origami Video

Yeah, I'm not a fan of Microsoft in most cases, but here's this cool new device, looking pretty slick, calling my name...

PHOTOBOOTH PHOTO PHUN

Something new I'm going to try and have a little fun with.... the photobooth photo of the day! The plan is to get a photo everyday, and to put it up here. I'll probably play with all the cheesy effects and everything as well, just to have a little fun. Hoping to try and post something with each one, just to keep that flowing as well. This one is a mirrored image of half of my face.

In other news... hung out with the guys last night, had a good time doing that.... enjoyed the Jack Bauer Power Hour (thanks Nathan for the name!) and just hung out for a while after that. I was surprised by my energy that late into the night, and then I woke up this morning feeling pretty good as well. I think the phone call I had with Katelyn really helped last night, it felt good to be able to make her laugh on the phone.

Got some big things happening today... hopefully they'll go well, and hopefully we'll hear some exciting news from the Apple front today as well.... saw this really cool video from Microsoft (yes, I just said that) yesterday. I'll put a link up here a bit later today so you can all check it out. I hope something similar, but perhaps a bit more elegant, from Apple is coming down the pipes on us as well. We'll see about all that later today though!

Lingering there, still...

I sit on the couch, watching the last bits of the Olympics fade away as the flame goes out in the cold Italian wind. I always get a bit sentimental about them, feeling a bit sad as I watch everything close out and go into hibernation until 2 1/2 years from now. Something else lingers in my mind tonight, though.

I miss the times of the past few weeks, preparing for what was coming yesterday, what came so quickly, and so cleanly, that it almost doesn't feel like it really happened now.

Part of me still thinks that everything is the same, that it was just another goodbye, just another brief time apart which will end sometime soon, sitting in front of the TV watching 24 or going to dinner at no where necessarily special, but making it a special time anyway.

I distract myself again, trying to keep my brain off of the little piece of me that's gone to somewhere I won't be for a little while, somewhere I know I will be, but just can't get to quite yet. I know everything will be alright in the end, but that the next few months will be tougher than the last few have been.

Gas Station Adventures

Saw this at the gas station today... and the guy needed directions... crazy
