That was a fun, though very fast, week. Did end up going to the beach on
Thursday for a little bit, and went out to eat with friends and family a bunch.
Then it was back up to Gainesville yesterday (Saturday) since I have mountains
of homework that I should have been doing over Spring Break but of course
didn't. It's so nice being back on my own computer again though, set up just the
way I like it, with all the programs I normally use. Plus it was nice getting
back into the college groove once again, (ie eating pizza and watching
movies).
Which speaking of movies, how cool would it be to watch some on a 180 degree
monitor that is over 5 feet high and 5 feet wide? If any of my readers would
be kind enough to pay the $20,500+ price tag, I'd gratefully accept one as a
gift.
Or if that's too much, how about a glass orb for $200?
You can design it to track anything you want, and assign a color too it. So if
it's above say 80, it glows red. If it's between 60 and 80 it's green, and below
60 it's blue. Muy cool. I could see someone programming it to glow the color of
the current "Terror Alert Warning" thingy. Which they want to add a new level to
by the way, but not a new color. Personally the whole color warning thing seems
really ridiculous to me, but maybe someone, somewhere finds it useful?
And speaking of stupid things, the whole Freedom Fries idea is insane. I don't blame France for not
supporting the war, and I think it's really childish to resort to basic name
calling to show disapproval of France. At the very least it could changed to
"Fried Potatoes" or something, but Freedom Frieds? Come on.
