Observations of Undershirts

Today is dawned on me as I was getting ready for work, man, I need more undershirts. But that sparked a completely different train of thought as I brushed my teeth and got ready for work. When I was a little shaver (my term for a young man) I used to think my father was goofy for having seemingly hundreds of undershirts. We’re talking A-Frames[1], the classic whites and even coloreds when he was feeling daring. It’s funny when you start to realize that your becoming an old man, heading towards Eric Clapton Town as Henry Rollins would say. So now I know that I must hit the local Target or Wal-Mart and get myself some more shirts, I chuckle slightly but also am trying to come to terms with the fact that I’m getting on in this world. A man I once thought was a dork I now admire for all of his efforts and strength to keep our family together, I only hope when my time comes that I can fill those shoes the same.

Samsung m610

I have been using this phone for around a few weeks. I recently switched jobs and lost my free cellular phone, and as my wife using Sprint I figured I should get one too, that way we can share the M2M(Mobile to Mobile). My buddy works for Sprint and hooked me up on a referral program for very cheap and recommended I replace my RAZR with their m610, I’m very pleased so far, the audio quality is great, it’s actually thinner than the RAZR and I can use funformobile.com to upload my own made ringtones and wallpapers, so that’s pretty hip.

Likes:
Thinness
Sound Quality
Rubbery feel to the case
Battery Life

Dislikes:
Occasional Reset for no reason

I give this phone a 9.5 out of 10 in rating, it’s a solid phone with great features, and very tough for a slimphone.

mooTools 1.1 released!

The official release of mooTools 1.1 is out, and a really great demo page so even if you don’t know how/where to start, you can see how some of the base functions are done and create something really cool for your site, or integrate it really slickly.

Have fun and drink responsibly!

One more month

That’s one more month of rent, I have pissed away over a decade of rent averaging out to around seven hundred a month where I could have shown some equity. But next month is my last rent payment, moving to the mortgage payment WOOOHOOOO! It is scary though, but the best thing that my wife and I could do in our “moving forward” plans. Soon we can move forward on the “baby” thing that everyone says is so great! We’ve had a boy’s name picked out for a while but are a tad up in the air about a girls name, we have time …

I am….

I guess the best way to put it today is WTFO. Yesterday I helped unload eighteen pallets of EV speakers for a casino job. Didn’t get a lot of work done on the graphics side. But to help ensure things were/are running smoothly sometimes you have to wear a few hats.

Submitted Bid for a House

Well, this is a big step for us but we secured pre-approval for a mortgage, found a property and have submitted a bid. They countered but it’s where I suspected as I submitted a low offer in hopes to get some leverage upon the counter. It looks like they’ll give up the Washer/Dryer/Fridge and pay closing (which is what I was looking for as it’s tough to bring so much to the table).

More updates as they become available.
