So if you’ve every wanted your own domain name it’s only $2.99 for the first year ($9.95 after). You’re not committed: you can host your site just about anywhere (not just Yahoo!) and you can always move your name somewhere else later. (This was a better year the first time around, they’d let you do 5 years at $2.99 each!).
THIS DEAL IS EXPIRED!
I slept nine hours last night, so I feel pretty great. The problem is that I didn’t fall asleep until after five (no, I wasn’t doing anything exciting, I just wasn’t sleeping). So now that that I woke up after two I’m going to need to make myself tired with drugs early tonight (Ambien will be my friend) so I can get back on schedule or I’ll never get to work on time this week. And it’s night night I’m goign to be tired at all come 10 or 11 tonight…
So yesterday: I roller-bladed, ran all sorts of errands, drank only one bottle of coke (it was early in the afternoon and much below my normal intake) so why couldn’t I sleep?!? Sometimes I’m just like a little kid and I fight it off, but I’m nit sure why…
Srah has decreed that July 24-28, 2006 is Language Week. This means that once a day for the week you blog at least once a day (at least a few sentences) in a language you usually don’t blog in. Read her blog for the rest of the rules.
I finally hooked up my Oregon Scientific Weather Station and I really like it. It’s got a remote sensor for outside and shows the humidity and temp for both inside and outside (or I guess you could put the sensor inside somewhere else in the house if you wanted). It shows the moon phase and sets itself via the atomic clock. The instructions read as if the atomic clock sends out a signal constantly (I thought it was a once a day thing). I know it took awhile (overnight) for mine to get the signal (and then I had to go set the time zone). It even makes a weather forecast based on the barometer and the humidity and temp. It’s a nifty little device and it’s well worth the money I spent on it.
So on a slight tangent in class tonight (I give a tech leadership class at a local university) I was passing on some ways to get cheap inexpensive technology (or other freebies you can get). And I gave away some of my best savings sites so I thought I would share them here too:
There’s lots more around but these are the ones I check daily.
So I’m at Einstein Bros Bagels getting lunch and they’ve got the little sign where they list the soups they have that day (they removable pieces so they can change the sign depending on availability). Now today everyone seems to want Brocolli Cheddar (including me), which they happen to be out of, but it’s still on the sign. They actually have three choices: Leave it (the likely choice), remove that soup from the list, make more soup. I don’t think Mr. Einstein would be very impressed with their smarts…

So my Mom called because she heard (from Chuck) that you could see both the ISS and the Space Shuttle go by tonight and she knows I like stuff like that. So I dug around and found this which tells you when you can see cool stuff like that. Sure enough, I saw the ISS exactly when they said although the shuttle was a minute late. The times do vary slightly from city to city so be sure to look up your town. The shuttle I’m slightly less confident on due to delays, but it was definitely something. Tomorrow, I see they are passing at the exact same time, I’m assuming they’ll be docked! I guess I’ll be able to tell via this tracker tomorrow.
And you can find your city too! Be sure to check out SkyWatch after you look up your city (it’s more detailed and complicated so do the simple one first).
