New Zunes in only a few hours! You make it you!
I can’t wait for the new software, the new firmware, and eventually, to pick up a Zune 8. Yay Media Center support! Yay wireless sync! Yay!
EDIT – WOW! WOW WOW WOW! The new software is awesome! Absolutely great! It’s so pretty to look at – it’s smooth in its transitions – it’s fast – it’s easy to use – did I mention it’s pretty to look at? Just great!
Here comes the cold, and the rain we are so famous for. It’s ok, I bought a GustBuster umbrella [gustbuster.com], so I should be good to go. I also bought some clothes a while back (see post: Shopping At The Outlets) and some new ones today. Winter, I’m ready for ya. 
Oh, I forgot to mention before. I dropped one pant size! Now I’m 34 waist instead of 36! When I went to the Outlets before, the new pants I bought were 34s. I just never thought to blog about this. It occurred to me now given I just went shopping again today.
Closing weekend happened at Cedar Point. It was a nice trip. Had 38 rides on Magnum, so the year total was 108. Let’s see if I can do better next year. I already bought next year’s pass, but I’m unclear how I’m going to get my photo taken prior to park opening. I do NOT want to wait in line opening day – the line is horrendous!
I also picked up a new cell phone under Verizon Wireless’s New Every Two program. It’s a Motorola RAZR 2 V9m, and of course, I hacked it a little bit. Here’s a video showing what I did. That took about 3 hours, and it was fun, of course. Wow is the phone thin! It’s my first thin phone like that; all my others have been thicker. This one slides right in my pocket to the point that I hardly notice it. Call quality is nice, and I find it has better signal strength than the Samsung SCH-a970 I had, even when it was new.
My waterbed (yes, I had one) had a hole in it a few weeks ago, so I bought a Sleep Number bed from Select Comfort to replace it. It is wonnnnnnnderful! I get in it, and I just fall right asleep in it. Just great! For the curious, my Sleep Number seems to be 60. While I try not to do this on my blog, if you’re interested in a Sleep Number bed, can you let me know? I get a referral certificate if you give my name and Comfort Club number.
My Internet connection has been odd at home. It seems ok during the day, but in the evenings my 8 Mbps connection acts like a 1 Mbps connection. While the speed still allows for a decent browsing experience, I do pay extra for the 8 Mbps connection, so I’d like it to perform at least somewhat near that. That, along with Comcast’s recent network management methods (that I wonder if it is interfering with my Vonage service), has me considering switching to DSL. Preliminary checks suggest I can get 8 Mbps service here, and when I had DSL in Michigan, it always ran great, all the time. The cost is a little more, but I’m willing to pay a little more for something that I can depend on than save a little and have unreliable service.
Well, that’s all I have from between the last post and tonight. I need to get to sleep so I can get up for work in the morning. Until next post, take care!
