How we learn

I’ve come to realize that you can learn new things just by watching other people. I learned something today while I was at lunch. Never wear cycling clothes to go out in public if you aren’t riding a bicycle.

Words to live by.

Tivo Reloaded

OK, the Tivo is now connected to the home network. Now, we have the ability to program the Tivo from any Internet connection. Say I’m at work and I realize the “A-Team” marathon is on. I can set the Tivo without having to call Honeybun at home. Why? Because I can.

Bath Time

Guess who got a bath last night?

Donut

My manager at work brought in donuts today. Have you ever seen one this big?

It’s like a bear claw that takes up a whole plate. Yum.

Frustration

I just spent 2 1/2 hours setting up a wireless connection for my laptop. Instead of just setting up the connection, I thought I’d do a little clean up on the computer as well. Of course that just hosed everything. Another program I updated got corrupted, so I had to reboot about 4 times, and each time took 10 minutes for the computer to come back up.

Aaaaagggghhhh!

Oh well, it is hooked up now – and I’m blogging from bed. Not because I need to, but because I can. Cool huh?

Tomorrow night, round 2 as I hook the TIVO up to the network.

By the way – yes, I have secured the network.

Lunch

The fish taco combo…mmmm , originally uploaded by semperjase.

I had the world famous fish tacos at Rubios for lunch today. I love these things.

Felt kind of jipped though. You see, Rubios has two ways to order this meal. You can get the fish taco meal that comes with a taco, beans, rice, chips and a drink or you can order the original combo which is two tacos, chips and rice.

I went with the second choice and ordered the drink for an extra charge. Turns out, had I ordered the taco meal, I could order a second taco for $1.49 extra, get more food and saved about a dollar.

Why is it ordering from a menu is a logic puzzle in trying to figure out how to get what you want without overpaying?
