Nevermore
This crow kept landing on the window sill outside my office this morning so I took a shot of it with my camera phone. Exciting isn't it?
It's been a while since my last entry, but in that time there was Thanksgiving and then my birthday, both of which were nice. The day after my birthday I went out with my Dad and my stepmom and they treated me to a very nice dinner at the Pasadena Chop House and then we went to see No Country For Old Men, which I really enjoyed. It's one of those movies that really sticks with you after you see it and I'm hoping to see it again soon sometime.
Recently I bought a Slingbox through some online sale and I'm really rather enjoying it. If you don't know what a Slingbox is, it's a device you hook up to your TV (or cable box, or DVD player or Tivo), and that you then also hook up to your internet connection and it allows you to access those devices from anywhere that has a high-speed internet connection. The result is that I can watch my TV while I'm at work if I want, but it also allows me to bring up a window on one of my computers at home so I can have TV running there while I'm surfing the web. It's a somewhat frivolous piece of gadgetry, but it wasn't that expensive and there's no monthly fee or anything like that, so I'm enjoying the purchase a lot. I think I will get a lot of use for it during baseball season this year as I'm planning to get the MLB package so I can watch all the Red Sox games, and since they're an East Coast team most of their games start while I'm still at work. During this last year's pennant race and playoffs I really wished I could see a lot of those games as they were happening, and this year I'll be able to do just that.
Not much else to report right now. Happy Birthday to Koga and Wendy :)
