4 things.

1. i again have to reiterate that it's extremely irritating to be annoyed an a fellow driver only to pass him or her and see that they're leisurely chatting away on a cell phone. i sooooo can't wait for the handset law to take into effect so hopefully those dumbfucks pay more attention. don't get me wrong, i like to talk on the phone too while driving but there are just some people that shouldn't be doing 2 things at once. so dear dumbfuck truck driver today that wasted 3 gallons of gas while speeding up and not letting me merge - this is for you. cheers.

2. yahoo recently opened up 2 additional domains to yahoo mail - rocketmail@ and ymail@. i thought it'd be a cool idea to get Max an account but unfortunately all the common alias were already taken (maxwell@ max@ etc). i settled for something else. i also thought it'd be a great idea to send him emails starting now - so that later when he grows up he can read them - i'm thinking things that are a tad more personal than something you'd post on a blog. hopefully yahoo mail will be around for another 10 - 15 years. who knows.

3. we picked up a netflix/roku black box. it's a small tv top box that streams 'watch it now' content from netflix directly. at first we had some issues where the picture would black out but it turns out that it was an issue with my router configuration. after i fixed it, it's been working great. it's really nice execution and seemingly great build quality and the picture quality looks great as well. hopefully they come out with more content because right now - it's kinda weak. most of it is B movies and old indie flicks.

4. so one of the things we 've been watching addictivly is the show Weeds. it's about a suburban mom who's husband recently dies and she becomes a pot dealer to survive. it's quite entertaining. wifey and i like to joke that we're addicted to weed - heh - i mean weeds.
