Things I really don't like

Using contact lens re-wetting drops on a cold morning.

It's like pouring ice water on your eyeballs.

Can't be a nerd on just ONE level

Like many with an affliction for technology, I too, share a love for a good sci-fi television show. Everyone in my house are avid Doctor Who fans, and who could blame them, really? It's a great show. But more recently, we watched Battlestar Galactica. I was hooked on that show fairly quickly, as it appealed to all my sides: futuristic technology, space, robots, Top Gun style combat, and a good deal of sex appeal (for both sexes). What's not to love?

A $200 laptop? No way!

First, let me ask you this, would you buy any electronic device today that had a 3.5 hour battery? Of course not! Laptops from 10 years ago had better battery life. Not by much, mind you, but it was better.

So why would Acer put such a shoddy battery into their brand new Acer C7 Chromebook?! Smartphones have better battery life than that. It just doesn't make any sense. I mean, the rest of the machine is actually pretty nice. Chrome OS, 2 GB RAM, 320 GB hard drive (decent for any current laptop), 3 USB 3.0 ports, HDMI port, VGA port, 2-in-1 card reader, with an HD display and HD webcam. Not a bad deal at all for $199. So why skimp on the battery?

It's Veteran's Day

I feel strange saying “Happy Veteran’s Day” because I don’t think it’s a day one should be happy about. Appreciative, thankful, and grateful are all better words to use to describe how I feel about Veteran’s Day.

To all the veterans, and current members of our military: Thank You. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your courage and your sacrifice. As an American, I am grateful for your service and for the service of all those that came before you. Regardless of race, gender, age, or religion, you are all heroes in my book.

I may....

.... have spoke too soon.

This makes me happy. And I'm sure it makes Jenna happy as well because now she knows that I won't be asking for a Chromebook this year.
