it's great that it's 5 o'clock and it's still light out. I'm ready for winter to by over with. #
I'm going to sit in the front of the office and see how many people yell or throw things. I'm guessing no one. #
I'm still on my lost binge. Finishing season 3 tonight. DVR will have to record the new season until I get there. #
I received a 179 emails in 17 minutes and my phone locked up. One of my websites was being hit hard. #
just got back from the A/V tech showcase at the illini union. cool stuff i'll never be able to afford. #
I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to stay off the Internet tonight. too much lost talk already. #
@LincolnDJ I'm on season 4 about half way through. I just started on season 1 two weeks ago. That's a lot of tv for me. in reply to LincolnDJ #
I had two MacBook Pro power adapters. Now I have one. I think I must have given one away with the 35 laptops I had. #
I'm glad my Internet is running extremely fast, not. I'm about to break out the messenger Pigeons to update my status. #
100 Disc Blu-ray changer for Windows Media Center. http://bit.ly/aaSfV9 #
@Schmult http://bit.ly/9Mw8zO That is the info about the A/V tech showcase. I only knew about it because I'm on so many mailing lists. in reply to Schmult #
@onlyzuul Turn off the TV and go play with that awesome iMac. in reply to onlyzuul #
still wondering if I should order a 27" iMac. The ones on campus don't have the issues some report. Probably because we order pallets full. #
I'm going to buy some vending machines. Person buys item. Item gets stuck. They pay again. Item drops. They pay $2.40 for a bag of chips. #
@davezatz How much are you supposed to get? They are calling for 2 to 5 inches here. in reply to davezatz #
@Inacurate Handbrake is my preferred. Not sure what format Maemo needs to be in. in reply to Inacurate #
@Inacurate Most free versions don't have bulk convert functionality, as far as I know. Are you on Windows? in reply to Inacurate #
I would have rather and snow than ice. #
http://twitpic.com/11i03l – I got my 27" imac. Its running great. #
My dog is figuring out that there are ceiling fans in all the rooms. She doesn't like them. Not sure why after 2 years they are new thing. #
I scooped the driveway to get rid of the slushy ice stuff. Can't tell now. The fluffy snow has overtaken it. #
The tile guys are here doing tile around the shower. We have jets in our shower and they were getting the drywall wet. #
@LincolnDJ I like my popcorn hour (a-100 SD model). Wish UI was better but A-200 is supposed to get a flash UI. Review: http://bit.ly/9qlJ8K in reply to LincolnDJ #
@LincolnDJ You might also want to look at the WD TV Live HD. http://bit.ly/9p6rJo I here the UI is better, not sure about how good MKV is. in reply to LincolnDJ #
http://twitpic.com/11jhgd – Dog guarding new imac. She makes it more difficult for me to use it #
didn't get the tile done. Which means I have to either take off on Monday or find someone else to stay at my house. #
Just paid a Amish Guy to make us bedroom furniture. I'm glad that is over with #
furniture shopping done. geocaching meeting done. Now it's time to prepare for the illini game. #
Ordered a USB to DVI from OWC yesterday at 4 and it was here today by 5. That is fast. Testing it out on my iMac now. #

there was just lighting and thunder. generally don't see that in January. #
I'm still trying to catch up on Lost. I'm half way through season 2. I'm thinking I need to take off work until I finish. #
I like when people email me at work to help them do illegal things on the computer. There is a reason there isn't a download button. #
I think I made a mistake which is turning this Monday into a bad thing. Phone calls are coming in about computers not booting. #
I think it would be funny if Apple doesn't release or talk about a tablet. #
there is a reason why the University gives you a email address. I have no idea who "lovescake"@aol.com is. Plus why are you using aol. #
@brechin agreed but at least gmail gives you the option to send as your U account so I know who they are. in reply to brechin #
@brechin we discourage it to. All university business is supposed to be conducted through university email. in reply to brechin #
getting ready to setup for a videoconference. then I'm headed home. #
cash your unemployment checks, Apple is releasing new products today. #
not sure what to think about the maxiPad yet. I wanted more than a bigger iPod touch. #
@Verizon sent me a droid tricks and tips email during the Apple event. I think it's funny. #
the illini started out good. lets see how long this lasts for. #
been pricing out new equipment. It's starting to make me sad because it's nicer than what I have. I do get to play with it first though. #
the dog and me were playing and she upper cut me. I now have a chipped tooth. I got beat up by a 9lbs dog. #
still trying to decide if I need to go to the dentist. I'm thinking holding off until Monday to see how it goes. #
wondering why university of Illinois is not on itunes u. illinois state is. U of I springfield is. we are supposed to be the leader. #
must be a car wreck at co rd 900n and co rd 1200e. Lots of flashing lights and traffic backed up. #

we are already starting to chop down entire forests to make your copies. and after 30 minutes I already have a headache. #
Mediacom is probably the worse ISP there is. Lost DNS for hours. Better than them redirecting google.com to their ad filled pages. #
after Mediacom DNS servers went down, I'm creating a second network connection in Mac for Google DNS. I hate losing Internet. #
I'm tired of setting up Macs to only run Windows. It's a support nightmare. Buy a Mac for Mac and a Dell for Windows. #
I try to give you a brand new MacBook Pro, iPod Touch, 500GB portable hard drive and you don't feel the need to pick it up. Why? #
@brechin I'm sure almost everyone would except this person. By the time they finally pick them up Apple will have released new products. #
@brechin I didn't even think about setting it on the router. Thanks for the tip. in reply to brechin #
Mediacom DNS servers are down again. Luckily I switched over to Google DNS so I have internet. Now Google knows everything I do online. #
every paycheck is getting smaller and furlough days that will make it even smaller. Time to start looking at a new job. #
I'm cut off from pandora for the month. I didn't realize they only give you 40 hours a month. I need to transfer my music to my new laptop. #
I need to go and setup the new accounts on my mac mini video recording rooms. Confidential recording off network so I have to go up there. #
@LincolnDJ Might want to look at http://www.iosafe.com/ instead of a safe. Probably be cheaper and you don't have to remember to lock it up in reply to LincolnDJ #
@LincolnDJ Yeah, I'm looking at buying a safe for important docs. I can't find my degree or my car title. I'm sure they are together. in reply to LincolnDJ #

working on my sisters inspiron 1420. I should have gotten her a Mac. It really hasn't had too many issues, especially since it has vista. #
Wife just made meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green beans for dinner. I'm full and ready to get back to work. #
logitech finally sent me my replacement rf kit. I finished programing my 890 tonight. Probably noticed I bought 4 harmony remotes. #
today it's like a waterfall coming from the ceiling. and it switched locations overnight to miss the buckets. I'm glad it's not where I sit #
@LincolnDJ Most receivers have adjustments for center and surround levels. The Onkyo receivers have a Mic that does the adjust for you. in reply to LincolnDJ #
@brechin at least you can make all 4 passwords the same now. Having 4 different passwords that met the up/low/num was horrible. in reply to brechin #
anyone upgrade to a DOCSIS 3.0 modem. I've read that it helps internet speeds even on a DOCSIS 2 provider. #
Get Boxee Beta on AppleTV. http://bit.ly/4GAR7j #
my blu-ray player I have had less than a week died. #
back from getting my blu-ray player exchanged. BB didn't give me any trouble even without the receipt and box. #

I Got Married

Jeremy Jones — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 15:46:32 +0000

This was a busy end of the year as we prepared for our wedding. The date was 1/5/2010. We decided to go to Disney World for the wedding, which was amazing. It was a short ceremony in record low conditions at Disney. I think it was 37 degrees at the time of the wedding, which was outside at the boardwalk. We had almost 60 people show up at Disney for our wedding and a vacation. It was a great time. We are already planning on going back in the next few months. Have a honeymoon without all the family members.

I'm tired from doing stuff. 16 hours to put up the Christmas lights, only 2 hours to take them down and organize them in tubs. #
my dog is wearing a snuggie and I think she likes it. #
