Well its 5:30am and I am getting ready to head to the Lake for Morenet's HELIX 2007 conference at Tan-Tar-A.
I should be back in time for the Special Olympics Trivia Night fundraiser on Friday night.

See if you can beat all the levels on this game.
I cant, I can only get to level 27. What can you do?
I had to go my optometrist last week for my yearly eye check up (that I do every two years) and we got to talking about how I like to play golf. After we got through the exam he recommended that I try Nikes MAXSight Contact Lenses for a few rounds to see how I like them.
Well I played today for the first time since I have gotten them and noticed a few things.
1) I can really see the ball a ton better.
2) Its much easier to read the green. My play around the green picked up today.
3) You really freak people out when they look at you:

I'll give them 3 or 4 more rounds and then make a decision on if I want to keep playing in them of not.
For the last three weeks I have been playing hoops at Union Hills Gym. I didn't realize how out of shape I was until I started playing. I also didn't realize how bad my knees hurt when I play. If I keep playing I am going to have to go to the doctor or find a knee brace.
Today is the first day of spring! To celebrate I am going with Eric to pick up his new golf clubs in Columbia tonight.
Go Spring!
So sticking with the new theme, Missy and I bought a new TV for the living room last night. We settled on this JVC 56incher* from BestBuy and with help from Eric was able to get it home and setup last night.
*My monitors at work was the same size as our old living room TV.
**It is also snowing outside which is strange since last weekend it was 75.
We switched around cubical's today to make room for a new programmer and I ended up with this awesome cube*:
*Don't be jealous!
**Yes that is a picture with me and Miss America.
Today is March 14 (3.14), also known as Pi-Day. Interestingly, it is also Albert Einstein's Birthday.
If you run an NCAA Tournament Pool you know that finding software to run the pool can be hard and expensive. For the last two years I have used FreeTrak because it is both Free and Easy to use.
*This post is mostly a reminder so I can remember the name of the software next year*
Well it looks like DST went off without a hitch last night and the world didn't blow up. All of my home electronics updated correctly, now if stuff works this smoothly at work on Monday I will be happy.
It will be interesting to see if Congress changes DST time again in 2009.
I had planned on working on my yard today but the weather had a different story and rained most of Friday making that impossible. So Eric, Nick and I went to Columbia and dodged a Neo-Nazi riot to buy Eric some new golf clubs. He ended up getting the Mizuno's MX-19's custom ordered since he is 6'6". They should be in next week and I think Eric will become a much better player then he is now with the Ram clubs he got for $50.
We also snuck in a quick 9 at Railwood for the first time this spring. Eric and I beat Nick and Andy 3-2 in a best ball scramble.
Potatoes Make Your Butt BIG!
I got this bumper sticker from the Missouri Rice Growers who were giving away a free lunch at the Capitol. This is going to look good on Nicks Honda!
One of my favorite online video games is back online:
I remember playing this game almost everyday in high school.
I love this Tot Rejection Game that sonic has out. I cant get past level 10 though... can you? I also won some free tots because I am pretty awesome.
Today is the first day of March and it came in with a bang with a huge thunderstorm and a tornado watch.
Now how long until the NCAA Tournament?
