Thanks LEGO (Jan 13 2008 23:58 GMT) - Santa brought Noah a 2nd generation LEGO Mindstorm NXT, the NXT Software to compile and download the programs (it even supports Bluetooth!), and the LION battery pack for Christmas. Unfortunately the battery pack was defective (it wouldn't charge even though the display said it was fully charged) so we've been having to get by with 6 AAs. I called LEGO and after a brief discussion with the replacement parts division, they sent out a new pack and transformer as well as a stamped envelope to ... |

Mission Taluva (Jan 13 2008 23:58 GMT) - This morning, my mission was to coerce several coworkers into playing Taluva with me after lunch. Successful in my mission, the three of us ate a quick bite and I made quick work of explaining the rules. The game is deceptively simple. Each turn, you draw and place one of the small but extremely thick tiles (a connected set of three small hexes depicting an erupting volcano and two, potentially identical, terrain types (water, stone, sand, jungle, or grass) followed by building one or more o... |

Analog Game Night "Lite" - January 2008 (Jan 13 2008 23:58 GMT) - In general, I don't pay much attention to professional or college sports. I was, however, glad to hear that my alma mater pulled out a bowl win even if it was accomplished with a score rivalling some basketball games. Living in Columbus, Ohio I get soaked in The Ohio State scarlet and gray marinade on a daily basis and a little goes a long way. Yesterday the office was a sea of red jackets, shirts, and jerseys. The cafeteria staff were even wishing everyone a great time watching the game. |

Happy Birthday Lisa (Jan 13 2008 23:58 GMT) - Yesterday was Lisa's birthday; Happy birthday! I'll restrain myself and not post any silly pictures or anything. Although I lose my head on a regular basis, after being married for 21 years I know better than to do silly things on her birthday.The day was kept pretty low key, lots of food, a walk in the neighborhood, presents, and a huge double chocolate cake. |
