I have been too busy to get anything up here lately, but I’m working on getting the ultrasound pictures up as soon as I can. If I have time tomorrow night I’ll get them up, but I can’t call it a night without linking to something, so I’ll just link to this. Make of it what you will, it looks pretty real to me. That would be one heck of a surprise.

Rennaissance Festival!
We just got back from the Renaissance Festival and I must say it was an eye opener. Here is a list of some of the things I learned about “The Renaissance Era”
1. Lots of men wore tights
2. Lots of unattractive,rotund(dead link) women wore ill-fitting clothing.
3. I’m glad my family didn’t live during this time.
4. I am intrigued by sword fighting.
5. Everyone walked around with amug(dead link). Just in case, I guess.
6. I like to throw axes and knives.
7. Turkey Legges are good for your health.
8. I need a chain mail hood. -
Satellite images
I know Microsoft’s Terra Server has been around for a long time, I’ve just never used it. Now that I’ve fooled around with it, I’ve found a picture of our condo development, a picture of the buildings the EE department is in, my parent’s home, and my wife’s parent’s home. Disregard the red push-pin markers. I couldn’t get them to reposition, so the only one that is right is the one of the University. The majority of the pictures here are from 1994. The picture of Ohio State has two buildings that were torn down since I’ve been there and a whole set of buildings are missing that have since been built. That’s pretty cool stuff.

Four wheeling
Got back from the in-laws, had a good weekend with the family. It was nice to see people we only get to see a couple times of year. It’s hard to jam a whole year into a few days of fun but we tried nonetheless. Had some fun doing some four–wheeling! Can’t beat that.
Our Buckeyes gave us quite a scare! I saw that tip go over the middle in the end-zone and all I could do was hold my breath. Phew, that was a close one. I figured we would fall a spot in the rankings but so far the ESPN/USA Today poll (not that I give that poll much creedence) still has us at #6. I love those buckeyes. Can’t wait to have Clarett back. Now that I look at it, the AP Poll feels the same way.

21 Dog Years
I just finished 21 Dog Years : A Cube Dweller’s Tale
. It was pretty good. I wrote up my review for Epinions just now. You can read it here. I had to get one last review in before I left for Cancun. Now it’s off to work for a bit. Gonna find out if there’s a TA-ship in my future. I’m actually starting to look forward to it.
