my smiling mug / water goodness
Whoever said that what you'd never use what you learned in college was incorrect, because sometime this week (given upon the speed of completion) I will be conducting two reviews, as in real live in-person reviews, which will be placed on a web site later. I'm the script guy, storyboard guy, director guy and finalizer-for-the-web guy. Should be fun.
My only constraint (due to the average attention span of joe/jane internet user) is that the pieces I do cannot exceed five minutes. This is fine, save for the fact I have to cram as much as I can into that timeframe without sounding like an auctioneer. 🙂
This will be the second time that I will be putting my knowledge of video'ing and writing to good use. I'm looking forward to it.

I have just about given up (by choice) drinking sugary drinks completely. My choice of drink these days is flavored water if it's available or plain water. I like the Dasani drinks a lot and Zephyrhills (I had to look at the bottle to spell that) also.
Part of the reason I switched to water is because I gain weight due to what I drink. I drink a lot more than I eat. Even though I really like Hawaiian Punch, the sugar content and calories pile up pretty quick.
A single eight ounce serving of Hawaiian Punch has eighty calories and nineteen grams of sugar. Yes, nineteen.
Dasani (or any other brand) water: Zero calories, zero sugar.
My only gripe about buying store-bought water is that it's difficult at best to find the flavored ones (like lemon or berry) in packs of six or twelve. If you want the unflavored stuff, it's everywhere. But the flavored is nowhere to be found save for single bottle purchases (and that's expensive).
I mean, as long as I'm drinking this stuff I'd like it to have a little flavor to it. Is that too much to ask? 🙂

I will not be going to the launch (that link is a PDF file by the way). First they bumped it to a Sunday. Then to Monday. Now to Tuesday and it's not certain if the launch will actually happen then.
Fuggit. I'm goin' home.
In a lil' while I'll be heading back to Tampa.

The shuttle launch is delayed.. ugh. I have to call my boss to see if he'll let me go to it on Monday. If he can't let me for whatever reason, that's the way it goes I suppose.. can't really do much about that.
On a lighter note, I now have chat installed on the forum. The coolest part is that if you're already an existing member of the forum, you don't have to sign up as a new user. Cool, eh? Just login, hit the instant messenger link at the top and chat away. Requires absolutely no chat client whatsoever - it's all browser based and in real time.
Yeah, I thought it was pretty cool if I do say so. 🙂
The software for those who run phpBB2 forums and are interested in it is called php121. The install was very easy and worked first try.

There are certain guitar companies out there who have very little concerning a guitar I'd actually want to own, and PRS is one of them.
Did you know that quartz battery powered wristwatches emit radiation?
The Casio MTP-1370D is the cheapest way to get a Rolex Day-Date look
This is a list of the best older Garmin GPS models worth getting
An oddity is that even though a separate piece of wood for the fingerboard exists, there is still what's known as a "skunk stripe" on the back of the neck.
When it comes to ready-to-mod guitars, it doesn't get much better than this.
It's real-deal Fender vintage, it's available, and there's one other rather nice advantage to owning one of these.
When you want a Bigsby vibrato on a genuinely well-built guitar for not a lot of money, you go Gretsch.
There is a whole lot of wow to this Les Paul.
Is this a classic, or is it tacky? Let's talk about that.
