Quick thoughts 10/7

  • Congratulations to my parents who sold their house yesterday after just ten days on the market!
  • I subbed for the old bowling team last night and didn’t do so well.  That’s usually what happens when I haven’t bowled in eight months and the weight of the ball starts wearing on me.  I expect good things next week though.
  • After almost nine years, I think my PC monitor is starting to crap-out on me.  Should I go with CRT or flat panel LCD? 
  • So the Cyclones play Baylor in Ames tomorrow.  Hopefully this game won’t even be close.  I’m hoping for about 42–10.  Go Clones!
  • The Bears play the Cleveland Oranges this week and it should be a winnable game for the Bears.  I expect it to be a low scoring game, about 14–10 Bears.  Hopefully the Bears’ offense made a lot of adjustments during the bye week.  The Bears have a pretty soft schedule the next five or six weeks, so if they can just take advantage of that, they should be able to take control of this division of second-class teams.
  • Today’s lyrics: “Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl.”

Yeah, it was the same house, on 4th St actually.

I just got a new monitor after mine started crapping out. Unless you're short on desktop space and have a lot of $$ to spend, the flat CRT monitors are really good. I got a used 21" Trinitron monitor for $100. There were plenty of 19" flat monitors for around $50-60. I choose the size of the screen over the depth of the monitor. It's pretty nice to have 21" of desktop real estate space to work with! Also works great if you ever watch videos on your PC.
