On Endings
Well, here it is. Everything that I haven't been saying for the last few months. This was hard for me to write, but I think I feel better for having done it.
Comments are off.

Okay, seriously. When these are available for the common man, I WANT ONE.

Curl
Lacy has reintroduced me to the wonder that is Jonathan Coulton. I had heard his songs Flickr and Re: Your Brains before but I was unaware of who he was.
I'm glad she did. He's awesome. Only JoCo could make a song about curling cool.

What WOuld George W. Bush Do?
Hot hot hot
I've mentioned to some people the little British hot pepper that is magnitudes hotter than the world record holder, but couldn't recall what it was. Well, it's the Dorset Naga.
Yummy.
Little Tiny Galaxy
Only six months until my birthday!
Sleep Update
Couple of weeks ago, I brought home a sleep study machine once again, to analyze how I'm doing with my CPAP machine.
The results are very positive! As compared to last time, where they figured I stop breathing some 80 times an hour, it's down to an average of 3.5, which is well below what they call 'low'. Also, my oxygen saturation is much, much improved.
So the therapy is working. I'm not cured, of course. There is no cure, and there's only a chance that it might go away, once I get back down to my fighting weight. So once I get back down around 200 pounds, I can get retested and see if it's made any difference.
I still have insomnia issues, and I'm welcome to come back to the clinic to try to deal with those once my life settles down a bit (more on this another day), but the doctor was pretty much unconcerned with it, so long as I am functional the next day.
But yeah, it's working. I feel much like a new person -- all energized and alert. I still have to work on the habits formed during the length of my apnea, but I'm a step in the right direction.

Wrecking Balls
The Japanese are a strange and wonderful people. Watch with excitement as a group of six Japanese professional wrestlers go up against their toughest adversary -- a house!

The Perfect Valet
A clock that wakes you up with the soothing voice of Stephen Fry.
(He's done tons of things, including being the voice of the Book in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie.)
Al Awesomeness
Okay, by now everyone has seen Weird Al's "White & Nerdy" (it's below if you haven't).
It is just an indicator of Weird Al's awesomeness that he would also release the all-Donny-Osmond version. It's down at the bottom.

Identity Theft
So Lisa sends me an email saying that a letter has arrived from Telus, asking me if I want to to switch plans on my Pay & Talk phone.
I call Telus and verify that, other than my name and address, there is nothing on the account that matches my information. So someone bought a cell phone and gave them my name and address. There's no big risk -- my credit card isn't attached to it or anything, but it's very weird. Now I have to go into a Telus store with the letter and some ID and have it deactivated.
This is weird.
