SuperBowl XLV

Posted by Scott at 11:59 PM

Cute but sadly true commentary on Canada's new data caps. It's cheaper and just as fast to put your data on a solid state drive (the expensive kind of storage) and ship it overnight than it is to transfer it via their internet service. 7:40am

Good morning! We're having breakfast at DFE. It's 35°F and should hit 43°F today. Bring on the melting! 9:19am

Timothy's been bugging me for a few days with two projects. We upgraded the basement TiVo to 802.11g wireless. Later we put the notorious Cat Flushing a Toilet video on his Nintendo DS. It required me to install a Chrome extension that helps you download YouTube video into standard formats. It's an annoying video, but the kind of thing 8 year old boys find funny. 11:48am

Cool! Julia meets HTML 5: "Modern browsers have optimized JavaScript execution up to the point where it is now possible to render in a browser fractals like Julia sets almost instantly." 12:16am

This sounds like such a New England Superbowl Snack: Maple bacon party mix 12:31am

Since it's so warm outside, Timothy and I took this opportunity to chip away all the ice on the driveway. Now the melting snow and ice has a clear path to runoff to the street. Meanwhile Michelle and the girls are out shopping at Target. 2:07pm

Cool! Science fiction and fantasy author Neil Gaiman scripted one of the episodes of Dr. Who coming out this spring. 2:36pm

I relaxed with the current episode of HAK5 on the TiVo and soon Michelle & the girls returned. Michelle was impressed with how much ice Timothy & I cleared while she was away. It went from coated in ice to relatively dry. She brought me a coffee from southern NH's best micro-roastery: A&E Roastery. Now she's out back with the roof rake seeing if there's more snow she can get down today... 3:54pm

On this 100th anniversary of his birth, I'm thinking back to the summer of 1988 when I as a young USAF cadet met then President Reagan. 4:24pm

New Hampshire made some automotive news this week: (related link) That takes skill! 6:20pm

I'm such a geek: I notice the Motorola product placement at the SuperBowl XLV with all of the team's headsets. 6:54pm

SuperBowl XLV championsGave Michelle and Claire a break from the Super Bowl during the second quarter and played a few rounds of Just Dance 2 with them. Now watching the half time show... 8:16pm

Via ShellyHKelly: Ok 2nd favorite Superbowl commercial goes to Best Buy “What's a Bieber?” LOL. 8:56pm

Via brodyharper: Every time Fergie sings another audio guy loses his job. 8:57pm

Strange Chrysler commercial... 9:03pm

Loved the Hyundai hybrid commercial, especially the 1st generation cell phones. ;-] 9:38pm

Congrats Green Bay! SuperBowl XLV champions. 10:07pm
