I’ve always said that I wanted to take the top off my car. For the past year, I just kept saying it. Finally, today I can say I took the top off my car. It was a real pain in the arse to take out, but Chris and I got it done. And the drive is now sweet.

My investment into Apple (Nasdaq: APPL) has been my greatest investment ever. Never had I seen a stock double in value in less than 6 months. Not only that, but now Apple is going to perform a stock split. That will lower the purchasing price for their stock, which means more investors, meaning my now double-in-number stock could earn even more money. I’m thinking triple my investment (even quadruple!). I might even buy a bit more stock after the stock split.

Here’s a news article if you’re curious: http://www.macworld.com/news/2005/02/11/applestock/index.php

Sweet! I finally got another raise! Time to milk as much hours I can get from work now.

Going to head back to the yay area this weekend to pick up my 2 out of 3 books that arrived at my house, as well as other junk I had to leave behind (like my comfy compy chair). Wonder if I should just wait till Saturday or just leave at 2PM today.

Leo has returned to TechTV! He got a contract proposal he could accept, so he climbed aboard the bandwagon once again. I hope this type of scare never happens again.

PATRIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!

2004 Superbowl champions! Woo hah!!!

I got my camera! It’s a Canon PowerShot S200 Elph Digital Camera. Look at the price I got it for, $172.50! This item usually goes for over $220! I got a killer discount. Once my cel sells, I’ll be good! Just gotta sell my spare webcam and old digital camera, and it’s all paid for. This new camera is going to be the bomb! I’ll finally be able to show you our 4th of July homemade fireworks extravaganza in motion! And I can take sweet pictures now. I’m going to have a lot of fun playing with macro mode, and the camera will be most welcome on the Las Vegas trip coming up!

Take a look at this detailed review of the Powershot S200. Tell me what you think of it!

If any of you remember Volkswagen’s “Squares” commercial, set your brain to stun. Honda recently released a new commercial, “Cog,” which took 604 careful takes to perfect. Watch it. This, I command! You won’t regret it.

BTW, no computer effects or special effects there. It’s all pure physics at work. ALL of it. The page has a link to how it was all done.

Makes me proud to own a Honda Civic. Now if I could only have all those parts here in SLO so I can drive around.
