Look at that, we finally bought a house. Those of you that haven’t already should come visit us. We took a bunch of pictures how it looks now because we’re hiring painters to redo all the colors in the living room, dining room, kitchen, loft and hallways. So, we’ll post more pictures afterwards form comparison.

Lookie what I got here, wonder if anyone will notice.
So, after trying unsucessfully to upgrade some things to the website lots of stuff got screwed up, I got lazy, and things didn’t get fixed. But, I’ve had a little extra time, tried a couple things and seem to have gotten it all back to the way it was.
While I was gone we got to go to San Francisco for my friend Courtney’s wedding. I loved that city, it’s much different in the summer than St. Louis. High’s only reaching just about 80, constant cool breeze, nice and cool at night and almost no humidity. Great scenery, interesting people and lots of things to do and see. It’s also Apple headquarters. Why aren’t I living there already? Anyways here’s the gallery of the pictures we took on our trip. Enjoy!
If you don’t want to sit thru the whole slideshow you can just click the title of the gallery down in the corner to just go to the whole thing.
So, it looks like Hasbro has announced a cartoon accurate version of the Masterpiece Starscream. I really like it this way and don’t know why Takara didn’t make it this way from the beginning. Their main argument seemed to be for realistic purposes but after seeing how it looks with the cartoon coloring I don’t think it looks that out of place. It looks more like a paint scheme for a show plane like the Thunderbirds or group similar to that. Sure it doesn’t look like a combat paint scheme, but honestly the Takara one is too dark and green of a gray to look that realistic either. There’s links for comparison below.

Found a new way to share pictures, Google’s Picasa, i think it makes up for the shortcomings that Flickr has, plus its interface is slicker.
So in my quest to further replace the features of .mac for free or much cheaper I came across this service. Called Mozy, they offer 2GB of free online storage or unlimited for like $5 a month. They have a nice little downloadable app that schedules your backups and what files you want to upload. The 2GB will be plenty for me since I only like to use the online backup for smaller files like bookmarks, address book, and small things like that. Here’s a referral link if you’re interested. Yes, it’s a referral, and I’ll get an extra 256mb of storage, but so will you! So it’s not that bad right? Anyways it’s free and seems pretty slick and I can take one more thing off the list of .mac features to be replaced.
This post is a bit outdated but I still wanted to make it.
So since Lucy had been working so hard at a clients place putting in a few 12 hour days they decided to reward her and got her and the rest of the team some tickets to a Cardinals game in the private company suite. I got lucky and was able to tag along as well. It was a real cold game, bout 40 degrees, so it was nice to have the suite to hide in and make use of the free food and drinks. It also made the 10-0 loss much easier to handle. At least after the cold weather and disappointing loss the traffic leaving the game was very light. If you ever have the chance to get into a suite I’d highly recommend it. We also got pretty nice replicas of the World Series Championship flags, the night before everyone got replica rings. I think I like the flags a little better myself.
Also as you can tell below I finally go the flickr viewer working however I’ve found it may have some severe limitations. Originally I went for this method to keep from uploading a ton of pictures up to Ryan’s server and find an easy way to share them but it seems Flickr wants me to upgrade to a “premium” account so I can have unlimited photosets. Unfortunately the photosets are what the viewer I have uses to pull its images. Right now with the free account I think I can only have 3 photosets. So, any suggestions or workarounds would be appreciated, but for now enjoy the pictures below.
Post to follow, just trying to get the Flickr gallery thing to work.
OK, so I finally just finished watching The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I really liked this show, it’s a shame it was only 14 episodes I wasn’t ready for it to be over. I’ve heard rumors of a continuation of the series. Judging by it’s popularity I think there’s a good shot at it, it’s not time to kill the cash cow just yet. So, in lieu of more episodes I’ll have to fill my obsessive fandom somehow, so I started looking for figures of course! I really liked all the characters in the show, they each had their own unique style to them, but I think the main character Haruhi Suzumiya would be my favorite. So I’m looking mostly at figures of her. I’ve found these two so far School Uniform or Bunny Suit. Tell me what you think below!
