Patotoe Cannon
I’ve been procrastinating on getting permission to reproduce this page so I’ll just post the link. A fantastic read! I’ve played with just such a cannon and they really are awesome … and dangerous! The Splorg Potato Cannon Project
This page chronicles the construction of a potato launcher (potato cannon, spud cannon, spud gun, tator tot bazooka — whatever you want to call it) by a group of friends from Orange County, California.
US Medicine has to change!
“As a bonus; I live in Canada so it was all free. We don’t even see any paperwork for non-elective surgeries.” Free?! And no paperwork!! I’m moving to Canada! (bonus on the beer..and super bonus on their approach to the environment)

Frustrating
When I am in the mood to work and have the energy to work, I can’t work due to external factors.

A New Day!
Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:
This Morning
Woke at 4 as usual but could not convince myself to get out of bed.
Woke again at 6. There is this movie that I have a memory of about Jesus. It shows him healing a blind man. The man’s eyes look as if they have be encrusted with sand. I guess a more accurate discription would be that the prop man put half a walnut shell in each eye. Jesus then washed the sand away and returned the man’s vision. That’s what my eyes feel like right now.
Noah, the morning child, would not stay in bed. Got himself up at 6:30 and had breakfast. Wisely returned to bed to play Gameboy.
Amy announced herself right about 6:55.
Yesterday
Got myself prepared for an interview. Joined Cathy, Tommy, Noah and Amy for a doctor’s appointment. Had lunch with them. Then was off to my interview. I thought it went rather well and I was actually complimented on my interview skills. That’s quite a turn-a-round since the days of interviewing to be an Resident Assistant in college. Thank you Cindy Hieky!
Returning from the interview I skirted around a storm in the Jeep. It’s amazing how aware of weather you become driving a convertible.
In the evening I conducted the Aspie Support group and we had a great turnout with some fantastic conversation!

This Morning
Head stuffy. Woke at 4am and couldn’t convince myself to get out of bed. Alarm at 5 was silenced quickly. At 6am Sarah was roused and Noah was told to stay in bed (pink eye!). I returned to bed to find the most comfortable spot, pose and warmth imaginable only to stare at the clock watching the minutes count down. I cheated and gave Tommy medicine at 6:35 and found Sarah asleep on the couch. Noah has even returned to sleep.
This weekend wiped us all out. We played and worked so hard!
Tommy got to school only to be sent home because he had “scratched his face until it bleed.” So naturally I drove out to get him. Both boys have a doctor’s appointment at 10:45 this morning.
Time to work.
Partly Found
I found the bag but the batteries aren’t in it.
Lost my mind because I just realized I was supposed to be helping the wife do some planning last night when I fell asleep! Ugh again!
Constantly Lost
I can’t find anything in this house and I’m as much to blame as anyone else. I need the rechargable batteries so that we can take pictures at today’s party. I need to be able to put a charge on the batteries. Ugh!

This Morning
Slept like a rock last night. This morning I did some dumbbell exercises after getting Noah to bathe.
Today we are celebrating 4 birthday parties: Noah (8), Sarah (11), Amy (2), and Gabriel (2). There should be honorable mentions to Cathy (?), Jeni (?) and it seems like I am overlooking Carmen (?).
Noah has the unstopable internal clock. He gets up between 6am and 6:30 whether he needs to or not and has this blank look on his face like “why isn’t everyone else up?”

Spent the afternoon cleaning the kitchen and the bathroom. Seems that I never get beyond those two rooms but I did a pretty thorough job.
Relatives came over and we have the unusual pleasure of entertaining guests at our house–I mean people stayed at our house for a lengthy time without being scared away! And we only had 2 carpenter ants show up.
The afternoon and evening were quite pleasurable.
I’m still developing an ulcer over lack of income. I’m in the uncomfortable situation of having a potential contract that has to be exclusive but being faced with the possibility that it may fall through so I have to market myself right up to the point that I accept the contract.
The Matrix is Here!
Robotic Sentinels to Protect Water Supplies from Terrorists
“Not too far off, though, this technology will be able to serve as an early warning system, a network of robotic sentinels, to protect our waterways from terrorist attacks,”
Science
Metal using velcro like properties to bond stronger with other metals
Like joining two pieces of Velcro, TWI says it can bond a metal to a composite simply by pressing them together. The carbon fibres in the composite wrap tightly around the protrusions, creating a firm bond without any kind of glue.
Working?!
Wahoo! I’ve gotten of my rear – too little too late as usual – and am making phone calls to drive contracts to me.
