Week in Review: March 24, 2009

It’s nice to finally get through a relatively normal week at the new house. And it’s REALLY nice to get this posted on time for the first time in 3 weeks.

Things I Think I Liked

Had my birthday/St. Patrick’s Day party at our house. Lotsa fun and lotsa beer.
Meeting some cool people on Twitter.
I really want to see this: Badass cop car of the near-future.
Ordered my new motherboard and processor for my desktop so I can geek out with friends better. Thanks Dan!
My new neighbor, Mike, is a cool guy.
Chevy started production of the new Camaro.
Found Splinter Cell for the XBox. Now I can turn my XBox into XBMC …as soon as I find the cables for it.
Flowers are starting to spring up in our backyard.

Things I Think I Didn’t Like

WiFi should be a free service! You hear me Starbucks!!
Ashlynn’s leg went all tingly Saturday morning, but was better by Monday so we couldn’t get the doc to look at it. So frustrating!
Is there anyone who likes the new Facebook home page? I don’t.
I had to struggle through 3 REALLY slow nights at work. Good for citizens, but boring as all hell for me.
Spent at least 3 days updating my newly installed Windows XP. Installing Ubuntu has spoiled me.
Dealing with dozens of towed vehicles at work due to greedy tow companies!
Hearing about police officers getting killed hits home a lot more when I work with cops all the time.

Things I Think I Think

As I get older I care more about having friends and family around for my birthday than gifts.
I’m gonna have to do a stand-alone post about Twitter.
People involved in social media really seem to enjoy talking about people involved in social media.

This Week Made Me Wonder…

How many devices can I connect my phone to at once via Bluetooth? Right now I’m listening to a podcast on my phone with my Bluetooth headset and loading a podcast on my phone from my laptop via Bluetooth.
Would Englewood let us set up a Twitter account for the police?
It’s getting easier and easier to find stuff to post on this weekly blog. Are these posts getting to long?

Things to look forward to

Hanging out with my half of the wedding party tomorrow night and getting measured for tuxes.
Finding a furry, fluffy, feline friend for family fun. (This bullet was brought to you by the letter ‘F’)
Installing my new motherboard and processor!
