Literally, risk everything you own for a chance of a 10 MILLION dollar payout!? I think NOT. But that’s what is coming to tv in the near future, after the 100 day shooting. The show called Tontine will be lead by Survivors Boston Mike. Here’s the article describing the casting, very interesting. It’s as if you went on the Apprentice to not only gain Donald Trumps fortune but to also make him poor as a rat after the show. This on might be worth watching.
Well thanks to the internet we are getting a new tv today. It is supposed to arrive today between 1-3pm. We are pretty excited to finally sit on our couch and watch a movie again. It’s a 50 in plasma, I’ll give a full review after the unboxing today. Hopefully there aren’t any problems from the shipping process. After extensive research I decided on this one b/c of price and feature combination. I found a great price on SuperWarehouse.com. And have been very happy with their process so far. We’ll keep you updated.
Hey guys what are you up to today?
Ever see The Mummy, or The Mummy Returns or the Scorpion King (I never saw that one)? Ever think to yourself, that was a decent movie, I’d like to buy it someday if I see it for cheap. Well over at Best Buy Online they have the 3 disc set for 8.99, with free instore pickup. Grab a copy if you’re interested, or grab me a copy if your not.
As soon as I think Google is the coolest thing around, I find out something else they offer for free and I think, Google RULES! So I had heard of Picasa and I know that Brad and Tiffany use it to upload their photos. Well I had 42 images i wanted to add to our system. The thing is I have to crop and resize each one so they don’t take up a ton of space on our server… anyway this lead me to think how bout I try out Picasa. Anyway 90 seconds later, I’m watching this sweet application (that seems to do everything the application I paid for) scan my hard drive and grab photos from everywhere. Then 40 seconds after that they were uploaded to Google’s server… so now I’m torn… ever though I only get a gig on Picasa… it was SO easy… what do you guys think? Picasa(view the album) or McPhotos? why?
Oh and lets try this…
OH, looks like it doesn’t work.. j/k wait for it, that’s pretty cool… I could prob do something with that…
Oops, researchers just unveiled a pretty serious security vulnerability in the iPhone. More specifically, it’s Apple’s Safari web browser which exhibits the vulnerability. Researchers at Independent Security Evaluators have used the vulnerability to take malicious control of the iPhone from rogue websites loaded with the exploit. Once in, researchers have full administrative access over the phone allowing them to listen in on room audio or snatch the SMS log, address book, call history, email passwords and more — we’re talking full access to your phone. Researchers note that the only way to stay safe is to check those URLs and only visit sites that you trust (which isn’t very reassuring) and “may or may not be exploitable” from Mac and PC versions of Safari
Lots of times we hear of goals like, I want to lose 30 pounds, I want to get a new computer, I want to get a degree… these are all great and wonderful, but have you ever made a set of goals that will develop over a lifetime? Such as I want to show patience to everyone around me, I don’t want to think a bad thought about anyone, even someone who insults me. These types of goals are much more rewarding when they are achieved, and they help us to lead happier lives. I challenge you to make a list of your goals, your behavior goals. Here’s mine:
Pace organized the garage this morning. He is the MAN! It wasn’t too bad before, but it looks super great now! I also reorganized the freezer so we can actually find everything now. In addition to all this cleanliness, our cars are shiny clean as well because I had the myriad of Beehives over for a car wash service project –which definitely included washing our two cars! Clever, I know.
Yesterday I was startled to find that we had about 4 yellowjackets in our family room downstairs, just hanging out by the window. Don’t ask me how they got in. They seem to prefer staying right by the window and they’re slowly dying off, so I haven’t really done anything to speed that up for them. They can be our temporary pets. Other than that, we never need to have any pets, ever.
Also, Chase has been hitting his head a lot lately. I try to prevent it, but usually it’s just inevitable because he is so active! To add to the mix, he is getting 4 more teeth in, to make 16 total. I think that’s why he’s been whiny lately. Or maybe he’s just lonely since Gretchen and Tyler left. But at least we have more company coming this week; TDad and TMom will be here in just a few days to close on the townhouse! So Ikea, R.C. Willey, Target, etc. — here we (they) come!
Thanks for noticing the new bling Gino, and thanks for inspiring it with that dbx code. As you can tell McBlog is styling some new touches, not too extreme so as not to tick off the faithful (oh and version 1.0 is still available if you want that one, bottom left sidebar) But some cool features about this one, the sidebars are now sexy and each item can be collapsed or moved. SO even though the default is the way I like it maybe you want the slideshow to be farther down the page… so move it there, and evertime you visit on that same computer it will show up the way you set it. Isn’t that sweet! YES it is. Alright, hope you enjoy it, I might teak a couple of things more over the next few weeks.
Tonight Joy and I are going on a date. I’m very excited for this date b/c it’s going to be my company party at Seven Peaks. The company has rented it out for the night. We get a BBQ dinner from Wallaby’s, ride as much as we want on the slides, and they are goign to play a movie projected over the wave pool around 8pm. If we don’t have fun tonight, maybe we are dead. Also of mention, Joy’s uncle..?.. Is getting married! Yeah congrats to you two love birds, sorry we couldn’t come out to the wedding. And in other other news, Chase is getting very clingy, any ideas on how to get a 1.5 year old to not yell mommy all the time and cry when he doesn’t get what he wants? Oh and yet again I’m trying to please this odd feeling in my chest that I need to change stuff on the blog, watch for future changes and comment on them please.
