Lake George in the Adirondacks is somewhat local to us. It is a specatular lake that is very big and has many personalities. The town of Lake George is at the southern tip of the lake and is a major tourist town spring summer and fall. This is shocking news. Elderly people, some in walkers and wheelchairs. Today was such a beautiful day. The lake was calm. It shouldn’t have happened.

Sony has a new TV – very pretty – called Bravia. What I can’t figure out is the ad I saw on cnn.com that said something like “the first television in history designed for men AND women.”

This past spring, I shared this photo of Rich up on a tall ladder washing our windows. That didn’t work. I didn’t have a heart attack and die. So he’s at it again. Now he is washing and staining the house. He was going to do the scary part while I was at PDC but that got put off by another attempt at giving me a heart attack. The day before leaving for l.a. we went hiking and he had a very bloody scary in the emergency room for 6 hours accident. Somehow he convinced me on monday that he was okay (and in much better hands than mine wiht our neighbor nurse taking care of him) and I did go to PDC. So, that attempt at getting rid of me didn’t work either. But he didn’t get to do this job while I was away. He’s doing it now though. And I can’t even look up at him. At least from a distance I can handle it.

Okay – so now I am already regretting my rash jump on buying the Nano. Everyone I know who owns an IPOD of other flavors LOVES them to death. So I confidentenly forked out an insane amount of money for the Nano, rather than going for one of the more familiar Microsoft friendly MP3 players.

I too have a very scratched up screen. Not broken. I haven’t pushed the battery test yet. Doesn’t sound like there is a happy future for us dopes.

I just ordered some Moleskine notebooks for my mom (a writer) on Amazon. Apparently it goes through a store called MindBodySource.com. So I browsed directly to there site, and the home page is filled with ummm, adult toys! Tee hee. Really, I just got the notebooks! I swear!

In the past 15 30 45 minutes, I have had about 500 1000 1500 aaargh or more trackback emails dump into my email box. Bastards.

I have worked in silence for a long time. When I drive in my car, I love talk radio. Of course, I can’t listen to that when I’m coding. But I can’t listen to music either – the words are distracting. I finally had a great idea today. I LOVE cuban music. I don’t understand any form of spanish. So I can listen to it while I’m working without the words getting in the way. So I have been on www.batanga.com – Cubanismo music on and off all day. I think I could work all night!

I bought a Nano today – thought I was so cool. But realized they gave me the 2GB not the 4 GB and went back to fix the problem but there were no 4GB in stock. So now I have no Nano anymore. I like the idea of 60 hours. I can fill that up with .NET Rocks and podcasts for my trip to South Africa and also my trip to Las Vegas.
