So I’ve finally put up a video of the infamous Test Track at EPCOT. You can watch it here. (Windows Media player!) It’s not too bad, a little shaky, but decent.
I’m going to hopefully put some more pictures up, but I gotta go through all my albums to find them, which will take awhile.

I love my job, I really do. One thing I love is that the hours are different everyday. One thing that I hate is that the hours are different everyday. It’s both a blessing and a curse, I tell you.
This week, unfortunately, has really sucked. Not only had to do things in the office, but a few late nights of stuff can really put a damper on your pep. Yes, I said it, my pep. Even coffee cannot bring the level of pep up this week to acceptable levels. I dunno what level of medication that would require, but I’m not sure all of them would be legal.
I guess what I really need is a vacation… But just getting back last week from a vacation kinda rules out having another vacation a week later. Maybe a weekend getaway?
I’ve heard they’ve finally reopened Big Thunder Mountain at Disneyland, so maybe some rides are in order.

If you know me, you probably know I’m a very big geek for watches. How big a geek, you say? I actually bought a Fossil Palm Watch. Take a look at the pictures. It truly does look like something a convict is forced to wear for tracking. And it eats batteries. Like, in a month. So, how often have I worn that watch? Well, only once. Probably because I have a Palm phone.
So now, I picked up one of the MSN Smart watches. I actually got a really good price for it on EBay, so I didn’t have to pay retail. That’s a little high for me, and I guess I’m just a cheapskate.
This watch is a little better, at least, going by size. What can it do? I’m glad you asked. It can actually do a few cool things, like it gets constant updates of news and weather, as well as stocks. And you can customize what data gets sent to your watch, so I can see sports for teams I care about only. You can also get instant messages from MSN Messenger sent to it, which is quite sweet. There are a few bugs, though. I’ve noticed that at least once a day, the watch seems to reboot! I guess it wouldn’t be a Microsoft product if it didn’t do that, though.
If you’re a watch junkie like I am, it’s worth it, I think.

Love ‘em. Can’t get enough of ‘em.
Especially when it looks like our winter is over. The high today? 93 or 94, can’t remember. Too hot. That’s all I know.

Yep, guilty as charged. Have I been keeping this thing updated? Well, I think that’s a resounding ‘no’. But man, I have good intentions..
So, once again, what’s new? A lot. Trips to Sacramento for training, the wife going to Houston for a week, getting a bonus from work (Thanks, work!), and in general, just sleeping.
With the wife on spring break this week, I decided to burn some vacation this week, and took the time off with her, which was really cool. A nice visit to Tucson from some spring training and a night at a resort (Thanks, Priceline!) it’s back at the homestead for a return to work tomorrow.
Pictures? Oh, you’d like that, wouldn’t you? Well, so would I. Of course, we also forgot to take the camera to Tucson, so pictures aren’t an option. Just do a search for Tucson, and I’m sure you’ll find some pictures of it. ![]()
Other than that, I have nothing to say..
