I write this today as my new Garmin nüvi 255W 
Sure it’s not the 120 they’ve been getting in the deserts of CA or in Vegas, but to be out and about, getting in and out of a car, that’s pretty warm. It doesn’t help that the nights have been quite balmy as well, sticking into the 80s without any noticeable wind. All this heat, I think, is seriously affecting my quality of sleep, or complete lack thereof.
For the last few nights, I distinctly remember waking up more than once per night. Not for very long, but my sleep was still interrupted by something. If I had to guess, it’s probably a combination of my fan, which has a very occasional squeak, and the heat. I do know that it’s driving me sleepy by 6pm at night.
At least I have new stuff to play with. As I mentioned, new GPS unit on the charge. I used it a little today and it seemed to work ok, but that was because it was the new toy, right? They always seem to work right when they still have that new electronics smell. You can watch for a full review of that coming soon.
Assuming, of course, that I can stay awake long enough.
Still not feeling like looking up the Roman Numerals. I present you today with
A random list of things
.
- I made a mono-pod from string, a washer and a bolt. It kinda works, kinda.
- I ordered a mono-pod from Amazon this week.
- I haven’t taken a photo since MTTS. I think I need to start carrying my camera with me.
- I haven’t done any video since MTTS. Not sure I will be doing anymore.
- If you missed my tweets from earlier this week, Transmit is, in fact, better than sliced bread and wooden shoes.
- I’ve found a great use for Fluid. As a TwitLive viewer. I’ll show you how later or you can download it here (sorry, Mac only).
- I am again on the hunt for a decent Twitter client. Hahlo is pretty cool in fluid, but it doesn’t update automatically. I know I know, I’ll look at twitterific again.
- It’s truly amazing how much work there isn’t out there. I’ve been sending resumes like it’s nobody’s business and not even getting so much as a bite.
- My phone does turn by turn GPS. I just wanted to throw that out there.
I guess that’s about it for right now. I really need to get to the gym. Oh yea, let me know what you think about that TwitLive viewer. For best results, once it’s running, click the zoom button. You won’t see any of the extra Stickam chrome or, most importantly, the chat room.
