• @jlivingood I absolutely would test IPv6. I’ve been using it 4 years via a tunnel at home and natively at work. It needs to be everywhere in reply to jlivingood #
• @jlivingoodand re: IPv6, I could name 10 other highly technical ppl throughout the US that would actually use it and give *useful* feedback. #
• Taxes are boring. #
• @Jokerjitsu I think you can get that in Indiana too….that pesky midwest region. in reply to Jokerjitsu #

• @jlivingood already done!! Thanks!! in reply to jlivingood #

• My switcheasy capsule rebel iPhone case has pretty much fallen apart after almost 2 years of use. I’ll be sans case from now on I guess. #
• Ive had a case on an iPhone so long I forgot how thin and elegant they really are. I may leave this iPhone “naked” and hope I don’t break it #
• @ancker010 so far I’m one day safe. I had my original iPhone naked forever and it was fine. We’ll see. in reply to ancker010 #

I’ve not updated in quite some time. The main reason being that I’m too busy/lazy to recompile php and need xml support to use mobile apps to compose and post….the second reason being that I’ve been using twitter a lot. You can follow my [using random] rantings and thoughts here if you’re interested. If not, I should be updating this from time to time as well with more [hopefully] well thought out, in depth stuff. Until that next post, here are some twitter stats:

’nuff said.

I went about 6 weeks without a haircut for the first time in about 10 years…I also had somewhat of a hobo beard.
You be the judge.

Several people have mentioned triathlons to me in the last 2 weeks, which has me thinking…..could my injury riddled body, damaged from years of skateboarding, distance running, boxing and submission wrestling handle another triathlon?
I have not participated in one since 2006, and really not trained properly for one since 2005…..I have also not run any event runs or races since 2007 (or run at all since 2007 due to my very beat-to-hell back). Could I participate, perhaps not quite as competitively, in something like a sprint tri?
I should be able to train very little and still have no issues with something like a sprint….at least in my mind. The last event run I ran I did without training at all and finished respectably.

My limitations are annoying me lately. No more boxing. No more running. No more skateboarding.
Maybe I lived too hard, was too hard on my back and knees….who knows. I guess maybe I used up all of my “activity capital” when I was younger.
I did get the ol skateboard out the other morning and kicked around, just to prove that I could still at least do a few tricks cold. It was also a decent excuse for messing with iMovie 09. Here are the results:

My back didn’t hurt too bad when I was done. I may try and do the local sprint tri this year. It’s short enough and easy enough that I can probably do it with minimal prep and and it may just satisfy my need to prove to myself that I’m not totally falling apart.

Set to Minor Threat’s “Filler”, some of the church dancers have surprisingly similar dance styles to hardcore.

I never thought I’d be on a boat….

Hilarious…..no other words….

While rooting through a box in my basement, I came across something that I had no idea I still had. It was my very first watch, a cat-in-the-hat winder. I remember receiving this little treasure as a gift for xmas, probably around 1980. I was really young so memories are a little hazy, but I do remember wearing it proudly to grade school on it’s black leather band (now lost). I pulled this thing out of that box and it was like a blast from the past. Now that I have a 7 week old son, I find myself thinking about stuff I never, ever thought I’d spend mental cycles on, what kinds of things will he remember when he is my age? Will he save everything like I apparently did?
Amazingly enough, this watch still works. It’s a hand winder with some kind of a swiss movement. On the case back it reads:

Lafayette Watch Co
Swiss Made
Base Metal
26002

The “crystal” appears to be some kind of hard plastic and it’s fairly scuffed but it actually keeps decent time. My mother could not believe that I still had it.

My very first watch.

Now, if I could only find a replacement for my first digital watch.

This is the only reference I have ever seen to one of these. It was probably my all time favorite watch, I remember when it stopped working. I was pretty bummed. Mine was black and I remember receiving it as well. Great memories.
