  1. Really wanted to come back from 0-5 to be over .500.
  2. Wait... When did MC die? How did I miss that? He was always my favorite author growing up. I'm listening to the new Stephen King novel. Got Orson Scott Card's "Speaker For The Dead" from Audible. I figure I'll go back through the Ender series and catch the ones I missed earlier. Digging the King book after about 5 hours in. **BRENT**
  3. http://arstechnica.com/apple/guides/2011/11/can-the-iphone-4s-replace-a-real-digital-camera-for-many-yes.ars/1 Seeing that I have a 20D, found that rather interesting. **BRENT**
  4. Can you get the Dolphin browser? I like it on my gingerbread phone. **BRENT**
  5. Between these for 95$ and JHA's 15% off sale... It just makes me sad I don't need to buy them right now. **BRENT**
  6. Oh so fond memories! Heh... One game away from .500 after 0-5 start... W00t! I just wanted to beat Jeff... Mission accomplished. **BRENT**
  7. Crap! I too forgot to pick. Stupid dead laptop. I played two positions on byes... That's kinda like playing Tebow over Brady, right? **BRENT**
  8. Happy birthday to my dear amigo yelling apples screaming oranges! Alex, the second thing I did after looking at my phone and saying "fuck! It's early" was noticing 11/17 and thinking of your birthday. I hope you had mucho gato en tu pantalones! **BRENT**
  9. That's not what it was. It was going to let me create a new user name/PW. I don't care, though... I used FB, but others may want to czech it out. **BRENT**
  10. http://www.hatsproductions.com/OrganTrail.swf Think 80s style Oregon Trail, but with Zombies... and dysentery. **BRENT**
  11. I had insurance through K... I can get it through work now for everyone, but not sure if I can get it. Thankfully, Open Enrollment is this week, so worst case, I'll get it Jan1, but I SHOULD be able to get something sooner. I just hate the the coverage isn't as good, co-pays, deductibles, and max out-of-pocket is higher, coverage levels lower, and the cost is about 2/3rds higher/pay period. The hospital I had the surgery at isn't covered period, and I found out that no hospitals in Nashville (2 hours away) take the insurance. I work at an insurance company in TN. Tennessee is in the NAME, yet their coverage isn't good in the state's capital? Yeah... **BRENT**
  12. I'm medically uninsured, yes. I should be able to get insurance again soon, worst case, January, it just won't be as good as what I had, OR as inexpensive. I wish I would have had more notice than 11 hours... kids have dentist appointments that could have been moved up if given a week's head's up. Grrrr... The kids have a back-up insurance, but it's nowhere near as good as what paid for my back surgery, and a bunch of other stuff the past 5 years. **BRENT**
  13. I woke up to find the screen on my CR-48 (Google laptop) is shot because someone closed it with a pair of IEMs between the keyboard and screen. This was on top of a horrible day yesterday (I'm uninsured as of Midnight last night), and my baller cellphone plans are going away in 6 more days. Today was also the first day of not having the FMLA option at work, and they call mandatory overtime for the rest of the week. Luckily I was able to call the doc and get a bunch of prescriptions called in before insurance ended (an abrupt stop), so nabbed enough pain meds to get me through 2-3 months, if need be. Fun fun, no? **BRENT**
  14. The stuffed toys are awesome. Seems her site went down so she had to open up tumbler. Not taking any more orders til Jan 1, 2012, but I'm tempted to send something in. **BRENT**
  15. Yeah, it was that messed up. My buddy's friend/BMW Certified Mechanic wound up doing the work. Feels great now, and probably 1/3rd to 1/4 the price of having BMW do it. The rear main seal was leaking, the clutch master cylinder was leaking hydraulic fluid (shared reservoir with brake fluid, iirc). It was a mess. The clutch slave cylinder was 30$ tops, and may or may not have needed replacing. My buddy has owned and raced BMWs much of his life, and he knows I was on a tight budget. If it was done, it needed to be done. Still, all the OEM parts at dealer cost is VERY nice. I know one part at a local pep boys was 141 if you walked in the store. $55 shop price. Wasn't OEM, and for 6$ more, I threw down. **BRENT**
  16. I just renewed my Audible Platinum subscription to get "Steve Jobs". Going to start listening to it at work tomorrow. Trying to decide between "Bossypants" by Tina Fey, "God, No: Signs You May Already Be An Atheist and Other Magical Tales" by Penn Jillette, "Public Parts" or "What Would Google Do" by Jeff Jarvis, or "In The Plex" by Steven Levy. Any recs out of those (or others?) **BRENT**
  17. Don't you hate when you triple post? **BRENT**
  18. Don't you hate when you double post? **BRENT**
