Over 5 years ago I upgraded to a Hawk 147-IRCB and I can conclude it was a wise investment. It stood watch over all the Robbie adventures, and the Morlock departure, faithfully capturing without any interruptions. A comparison between first activation and today however, suggests the IR light might be dimming. All it took was a Zmodo CM-S23349SV on Woot to convince me to push the button. Alas, the new camera has a much more narrow field of view and doesn't seem to be as clear as the trusty Hawk it replaced. You can see the difference from the 3:32pm Webcam Images, but to be fair it could be the now 8 year old 12v power supply causing the problem. Being too cheap to buy another power supply, may end up going back to the trusty Hawk.

I heard this guy at enorym.com does this for realz and professional like. I also heard he made the gnome cam. Just sayin Senator Kelley
Laura from work found a new meme that's all the rage with the kids in Japan.
It involves jumping while you snap a photo, so of course I had to plug my new blink lens
which finally has a use. I have confirmed that this is the very first Hadouken taken outside of Japan, so when it's all the rage with the kids here you can say you saw it first.
I'm also the first to overuse the meme with our second Hadouken rendering it into the same dead corporate stage the harlem shake is now enjoying. You're welcome.
After hearing about a place you can bring your kids to climb on gym equipment while you eat sandwiches and drink coffee, I had to check it out.
Yes I know about Chuck E. Cheese, but Lila needs to toughen up more before I'm ready to bring here there. The toddler gangs at that place are legendary.
On arrival to Java Jungle, a huge party was leaving which cleared a lot of space. The entire "3 and under" play area was empty, giving Lila free reign.
She used the time to familiarize herself and prepare for the coming battle. Soon enough, 5 other kids well over 3 jumped into the area but Lila was ready. Using her tiger growl, she was
able to secure the pink elephant slide and bouncy zebra, a full 1/3 of the territory. After explaining the zebra had no protection money to pay her, I decided it was time to graduate to the main
area. While all the other parents buried their faces into their phones, I helped Lila organize a structured oligarchy where she ruled from the highest point.
With Lisa off at work/church/meeting/whatever, Lila and I were left to our own devices for several hours.
With the Ninja 300 teasing me for the last few weeks, I decided the
only responsible thing to do was take my daughter to see one. On arrival, she was immediately drawn to the Ninja 1000 ABS. I had to explain to her that her father
only rode girl motorcycles, and 300cc was the largest engine size he could handle. After she was done throwing the resulting tantrum, I coaxed her into sitting on a Ninja 300.
After checking to make sure no other toddlers were watching her, she looked it over and said nothing. I took that to mean she approved, so I let her sit on the 1000 before we left to regain her reputation.
Despite buying a Surface RT that I have no real use for, peer pressure has forced my hand into buying a
Surface Pro. I was perfectly content with my RT until Marco decided he had the shakes for a Pro and started talking it up
every chance he got. Then pushover TomTom started waffling and it was all over for me. How could I continue working without being part of the Surface club? The answer is
I would not be able to, so I now own another device I have no real need for. The experience index is about what you would expect for a netbook,
and more than satisfactory given the ultra portable size of it. Being able to play the new SimCity and Battlefield 3 on it helps make me feel a little better, but after loading Visual Studio
and writing my hello world app for Windows 8 I can now cling to the idea of becoming a famous software developer for Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 (whereas before it was just Windows Phone 8).
Now here's a creepy photo of the guy that forced me into buying this as he plays Civ 5.

Why isn't your Surface a server? Boggle Senator Kelley
Fearful Lila will grow up introverted like me, I decided to bring her to work with me once a week to experience the hate and pain of socializing.
I decided $40/day is a small price to pay to mean her up a bit in the daycare, but after touring the facility I discovered there were no roving toddler gangs or pain squads.
I had to start somewhere though, so blowing bubbles and playing on jungle gyms will have to do for now. Today I stopped by for a helicopter parent visit and was given this
perfect expression when I told her I was leaving. It's a predictable pattern of her ignoring me when I drop her off, but clingy when I leave.
Since I'm selfish, I put her through this cycle 3 times a day to get my feeling of being needed so despite the daycares best efforts, I'm still traumatizing my daughter.
Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm released last week, and TomTom pressured me into buying it despite my hangups on paying for what is essentially a campaign expansion.
It of course included extra multiplayer units ala Broodwar, so even strict multiplayers like me get motivated to pay up again. My first actual non-beta game was a "Left 2 Die"
game mod based on defending against waves of zerg. Once we got seige tanks up and running, it was very satisfying to see them rack up kills,
but I still feel empty about buying the expansion. The new units aren't all that hot, and at this point I'm sure I'll be destroyed in any multiplayer game I join.

Blizzard is milking StarCraft 2 baddly. I play custom games not the lame limited scenarios. Because choice. Senator Kelley
My obsession with RAID configuration is well documented, so I was naturally curious when I discovered a computer at work
was setup with a 120GB SSD and a 300GB HDD RAID. Someone had actually taken the time to configure a RAID0 container to pair a superfast 120GB SSD and only 120GB of the 300GB HDD, effectively
negating any speed benefit of the SSD and eliminating more than half the capacity of the HDD. I demanded answers, and was essentially given nothing but a shoulder shrug in response.
I'm glad my interactions with PC support at work are few and far between, my OCD would go through the roof if this was common.

Yo bra I heard you like Raids so I raid your raid! Senator Kelley
Over two years ago, we staked claim to the Myrone love tunnel in the BFBC2:Vietnam expansion.
It was a glorious time, and our defense of the tunnel was unbroken for many months. Time passed, and so did our time with BFBC2:V, but today I felt the need to
resurrect that glorious past. With the release of "End Game" for BF3, I decided to dedicate my rented server to those times gone by, and christned it Myrones Love Tunnel. It was on this sever that I confirmed the End Game easter egg, and banned several players I did not approve of in the fine tradition of rented servers. Sadly, the man of honor only played for 1.5 rounds and was mute for the entire time due to "microphone issues." I fear he may be pulled back into the real world and leave the Battlefield forever.
