Huddleston and I saw this kid beat a panamanian tank one handed.   Check out what he did to this unbeated mexican this weekend.

Did I mention that "Lovely Bones" is the worst movie I have ever seen?   Lovely Bones is the worst movie I have ever seen.  And frankly, I didn't think the LOR Trilogy was THAT good either.  I mean, we're talking about a set of books that made girls like fantasy,  the movies wern't gonna suck. But don't let me stray from the point: Jackson found that mythical dimension where he could continue towards perfect failure without edging any closer to 'so bad its good'.  Time definitely slowed down on this end.Ugh.

Once, while I was teaching bootcamp, my colleague whispered to me that the Recruit presenting looked like he had a bunch of Gadgets in his pockets.  I whispered back, 'those aren't gadgets', and my Colleague had to leave the room twice before he could keep a straight face.

Reminded me of the time Alex and I got into a pen-cap flipping contest in accounting. He won 62 to 1, and that didn't seem as humorous to the teacher as it did to us.

Now I have Gadget Fever. I want the new iPad, I want the BlackBerry Playbook.    The former for the easy home-automation apps, the latter for the possibility of using if instead of my laptop, on the road.   My new job allows me to make day-trips, and I am enamored with with the idea of skipping through the airport holding nothing other than my man-purse.  

The Blackberry Playbook may also run Android apps,  so it should have most of the app bases covered too. But realistically, I expect I will get the iPad first, for home use, and then see if  I can get someone with gadget-pants to confirm the the Playbook will run lotus apps.  That is perhaps the most horrible ending to a sentence ever, on so, so many levels, but it is none-the-less true.
