Week in Review: Feb 10, 2009

This wasn't my average week. Usually it feels like my week is over on Tuesdays, but this week I have to work tonight. It would be a great excuse NOT to do my week in review post. Well I have all my excuses lined up so now it's time to knock them all down.


Things I Think I Liked

• I went to my first Colorado APCO (Association of Public Safety Communication Officials) chapter meeting. There's all sorts of ways to get involved.
• President Obama is actively seeking out open source solutions for government.
• Locked in my rate on my mortgage at 5%! 1-2-3-4-5. That's it: 5. No more. A BIG thank you to my friend Laura Leavy of Colorado One Mortgage.
• Hulu.com. It's telling me I don't need cable TV.
• Added my shared posts from Google Reader to my sidebar on my blog. Now you can check out where I'm getting all my cool info.

Things I Think I Didn't Like

• Shopping for homeowners insurance. Is there a more confusing type of insurance?
• I'm gonna give DL.tv one more episode to convince me I should keep watching it. It just doesn't keep my attention.
• Upgraded Ubuntu to version 8.10, the Intrepid Ibex and it got rid of Miro and it isn't allowing my to transfer my files to my phone via Bluetooth. I'll have to check for updates while I'm posting my blog. (I'm giving up on fixing it right now so I can finish this post. Arg!)
  
• The DTV transition got pushed back to June 12. This is just going to turn this into more of a cluster than it already is
  
• The purple on my wedding website looks bad on every computer except mine. I have to find a way to fix that.

Things I Think I Think

• If you're a conveniece store clerk who's afraid of his own shadow, do not attempt to lock people in your store when they shoplift.
• I put too much thought into some things. Like prettying up my blog with pictures and designs. I've been pondering how I want to do it since Jessie suggested it.
• On March 5 we will get a large dumping of snow. Mother nature is going to wait until I have to shovel it all off my driveway.
• Unless you really like watching live sports, you can get away with getting rid of cable and just watch your shows online.
• I almost know what I want on my website. I just need to sit and focus on it for a couple hours.

This Week Made Me Wonder...

• How can people see something (or someone) but not tell you what they saw?
• Why were midgets having a fitness contest at 4am in an apartment?
• NHL.com now offers live streaming games. Could I watch the Avalanche this way or would most of the games be blacked out because I live in Lakewood?
• Will the stimulus bill get passed before I close on my house? I REALLY want that "up to $15,000" tax credit. Dear Senators, hurry up!
• Is it possible to learn enough programming knowledge to get a job as a programmer without already coding full time?
• Where is the best place for me to store and share pictures online?

Things to look forward to

• Meeting with our DJ for the wedding Wednesday night.
• Getting everything situated for buying the house.
• March 4 is moving day!
• The stimulus bill getting passed.
• Creating a way to allow people to RSVP for the wedding using our website. I'm building it from scratch.

Something I know

• I love you, Corrine. Happy Valentine's Day!
