such a busy today. so much cleaning, not including the daily task of caring for our children.

spent almost an hour just putting together a damn steam cleaner. but damn… the carpets are clean. maybe this is something i’ll be doing once a month. so much crud in the carpets… ugg. at least there’s no more dog pee smell, hope it stays that way.  anyway, this carpet is so clean now, i’m amazed.  next up is to figure out how to shine up the kitchen floor.  oh yeah, i think the oriental rug needs to get replaced. its getting a bit dangerous since it’s getting frayed in a high traffic area.

i feel the need to rearrange the house, my feng shui, but i need to educate myself on it more. the house definitely needs a more positive energy in it, but it’s definitely on its way.

married life with kids is so different. time management is such a key component to managing our lives, that without it, there is no way possible that i can see anyone staying sane.

Roku recently added some channels to it’s lineup so now i can listen to Pandora, watch my TWiT shows, and some other shows that i normally watch.  there’s this other subscription service call motionbox where i can add videos to it so i can watch home videos on the big screen.  not sure if i want to do that or keep them on youtube.  maybe youtube will make it on Roku someday, but that might be a conflict of interests. anyway, so much new tech coming out.

already bought my wife her christmas gift which will arrive on Dec 2.  Should i give it to her now, or wait till Christmas. Still not sure what I want. Not sure if I want to go the Apple route, if I do I would love the new iMac 27″ hehehe, but would settle for the Barnes and Nobles Nook. I already have an  HP Mini 1035NR running Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala, which I am quite happy with, except for the fact that I can’t run FileZilla because of some broken packages.

Some more tech stuff, I’ve had the T-Mobile Motorola Cliq since it’s pre-release, and I think its great, sans the battery life, does everything I need, twitter, wordpress, facebook, music, podcasts. what more can I ask for. This phone can do almost everything.  With my netbook, mifi card and Cliq, i’m intrinsically connected to the interwebs.  Only reason I would need a desktop for is for photo editing, and for music collection (CD) which i’m still trying to digitize, seems like an attempt in futility.

Long weekend is almost done, and i’m not looking forward to going back to work.  My behavior and performance has been less than stellar, needless to say i have a lot of work to do.

until next time….
