Bag of Randomness

  • Talk about an ironic tattoo.
  • Oh to be young, single, only care about self image and forget about finanical planning again . . . I found two 2005 Maseratis with under 30,000 miles for under $45,000 on sale at a local dealership.  If I got one of those I could probably roll with Vincent Chase.
  • All the local sports radio stations seem to be hyping the Rangers and are upset that they aren’t getting proper national recognition.  I’m sorry, I’ll root root root for the home team, but I know they are the Rangers who have never won a playoff series and more than likely will never win one in my lifetime.
  • I see that the Palm Pre will be available for purchase on June 6 – oh yes, it will be mine.
  • I’ll dare say it, it’s going to be better than an iPhone.
  • Its success will depend on Palm and Sprint’s marketing plan, and nobody markets better than Apple, especially over the past five or so years.
  • I had to got to the doctor because of a case of hives.  Not HIV, but hives.
  • I read that the Hubble will never be touched again.  I bet sometime in the very far future it will be in a museum, either on Earth, space, or the moon.
  • I enjoyed watching Newt Gingrich and Jon Stewart talk on The Daily Show. Both men seemed to have a pretty civil conversation and were real substantive.  I think Newt made some really, really good points regarding Pelosi, but I really didn’t agree with anything else he said.
  • Lady Gaga was on the Dancing With The Stars. The first words out of WifeGeeding’s mouth, “She’s white?!?”
  • I hear only 20% of college graduates are able to find a job.  They might be better off riding out the recession and going straight to grad school.
  • May sweeps brings out the worst in local news.  Last night the teaser story was about doctor offices and germs.  Well, duh.  Sick people, especially sick children, go to the doctor and congregate in a waiting room for somewhat long periods of time – germs are going to happen.  Then you leave to go get medicine and feel better.  Probably one of the dumbest news segments I’ve seen in a while.
  • Speaking of the doctor, I can’t believe how well the shot he gave me helped reduce the swelling of my hives.  That, along with my oral medication made them pretty much gone by the end of the night.
  • A very interesting assignment. Google the place, you’ll be fascinated.
  • I saw this segment on child preachers, well, in particular one child preacher, on Nightline the other night.  ShowBiz or Salvation?

Study Ball

The Study Ball gadget is a prison-style ball and chain that you can program to keep track of how much time you spend studying. Once you’ve selected the desired duration, you chain the ball to your ankle and the manacle won’t come off until the schedule study time is up.

A red LED indicator displays the “Study Time Left“ and keeps you informed as to how much longer you’ve got to keep studying. The ball and chain are made of highly durable steel and weighs a total of 9.5 kg / 20.95 pounds, which makes it difficult to move while wearing it.

Quite often, students who are having problems concentrating tend to get up every ten minutes to watch TV, talk on the phone, take something out of the fridge, and a long list of other distractions. Were they to dedicate all this wasted time to studying, they would optimize their performance and have more free time available. Study Ball helps you study more and more efficiently.
