brianarn: Waiting on ladies while out shopping. I suspect I have spent several hours of my life waiting like this. :D (via Twitter / brianarn)
brianarn: Well, I thought I’d be Halo-ing it up, but my WoW guild called me to Karazhan. Two bosses down so far, only one wipe, it’s awesome! (via Twitter / brianarn)
brianarn: And thus, the work day comes to a close. I’m hoping to spend several hours today (and tomorrow) with Halo 3. :D (via Twitter / brianarn)

I doubt I’ll ever get more than a few, but, hey, it’d be neat to get the permutations of armor

I think I found a way around using this technique for now, but, marking it so I can easily get back to it later if I need to, for some reason.

brianarn: Team lunch got canned, wound up sitting in a tea shop, eating a chicken salad sandwich, drinking an italian soda, playing WoW on the laptop. (via Twitter / brianarn)
brianarn: Getting ready to head to a team lunch! Wonder where we’re going. (via Twitter / brianarn)
brianarn: I played Halo for like three hours - so fun! (via Twitter / brianarn)
Bought teh Haloz
So, I cracked, sunk into peer pressure (of a sort), and gave in and purchased Halo 3. I’ve yet to actually play it yet, as I purchased it during my lunch hour with my friend James, who bought a copy as well (the limited Collector’s edition for both of us), although he also bought an Xbox 360 Elite as well.
As such, I suspect I’ll be online a lot over the next couple of weeks, at least, playing...
brianarn: I an such a consumer whore. Buying teh haloz. (via Twitter / brianarn)
brianarn: So, I may wind up buying Halo 3 here very soon — I was hesitant about BioShock and loved it, so, I’d bet I’ll enjoy H3. Hmm. (via Twitter / brianarn)
brianarn: Most amusing quote about Halo 3 I’ve read yet: “stick with four-at-once multiplayer, against little kids.” (via Twitter / brianarn)
brianarn: Seriously, I think I’m going to set a phone alarm for Sun-Thur nights at like 9pm, to make sure I get to bed for proper sleep. Sleeeeeeeepy. (via Twitter / brianarn)
brianarn: Not only did I beat BioShock yesterday, I finished my re-read of the Harry Potter series. I’m at a loss of what to do now. :D (via Twitter / brianarn)
brianarn: Just beat BioShock with the happy ending. Good feeling. (via Twitter / brianarn)
brianarn: Heading home - love the short Fridays! (via Twitter / brianarn)

The concept of having the ability to edit one CSS file and see the changes in both IE and Firefox makes me super happy.
brianarn: Today is crazy foggy. It’s quite pretty. Didn’t have more than 15ft of visibility. 100% humidity too. I welcome fall with open arms. (via Twitter / brianarn)
brianarn: While I love the feeling of waking up rested and all, and nothing is quite as nice as a good night’s sleep, I dislike the time it takes. (via Twitter / brianarn)

Suggestion fun
So, I tend to run Firefox as a web browser, and it has a lovely little Firefox search toolbar that I use often. I never bother going to Google directly, since I can just search there. On occasion, I’ll do a more verbal search — rather than searching for just key terms, it seems like searching for a phrase helps. So, I was typing out a phrase, and I paused for a moment, when the suggestion system...

I’m really hoping I don’t *actually* need to connect to Access, but, it looks like I might
brianarn: I brought my lunch in today. Today will be the first day I’ve eaten lunch at my desk at this job, five weeks in. Kind of surprising to me. (via Twitter / brianarn)
brianarn: Mmm, apple cider. (via Twitter / brianarn)

Powerhouse
While I can’t really vouch for the accuracy here, I find it to be quite an amusing idea. According to the Body Battery Calculator, I’m producing a lot.
Your Body is Producing 357 Watts!
This is 79% MORE wattage than the average person
You could light up 4 light bulbs
You could power 89 iPods
You could power 2 Xbox 360s
3 of you would be needed to keep a refrigerator running

New job, old friends
My last post was all about summarizing smaller events. These two events deserve more than a bullet point, but maybe not necessarily their own post.
First off, I started a new job! I mentioned in my last post that Lisa had participated in a program with high school students, working on spatial literacy. One of the things that the kids did was to take a tour of a couple of companies in the area...
