Which one is which?

Okay...Time now to test both your Food AND Space knowledge. Here's the deal, this weekend, we ate quesadilla's for dinner. The following image is a side by side comparison of the Planet Jupiter and a Quesadilla that grilled up looking like Jupiter. Here's your test...Which is which?

Glad this wasn't around when I was a kid...

When I was a kid, I played outside, played inside, and played LOTS-o-VIDEO GAMES. I don't anymore, and that's mainly due to the fact that I have a 7 month old watching everything I do, while I'm watching her.

It's okay though, I knew that the older you get, the more your priorities change, and you know what, I'm really okay with that. While years ago I enjoyed spending time Squishing Goombas and Saving the Princess, Tracking down the all-powerful Triforce, and Defending mankind in Space...the following have replaced them:

* Squishing bugs to Save my Little Princess.
* Tracking down the all-powerful toy that comforts Her.
* Defending my space as it gets taken over by more and more pink colored things.

But to be honest...I don't miss them that much, and every once in a while, I'll get a weekend alone, and then it's me and my old friend having a good time once again. Video Games are kind of like a bike, you never forget how to play (ride).

Anyway...All that to say, that I found evidence of a very Parent-Friendly gadget, that will aid them in the battle against their children going on All Day Video Game Binges this summer.

Check it out...It's the "Game Dr."



Simply put, you plug your Video Game system's power cord into it, IT plugs into an outlet, and after a Parent set amount of time, it will kill the power to the system, rendering the system useless until the next opportunity. Oh...and you can't simply unplug the system cord, since it's locked inside the "Game Dr." nice and tight.

My thoughts...Sales of extra power cords are going to go up! Buy stock now! Want more info...Here's the article I found.

Where am I at?

So where am I at on the whole "calorie counting/weight loss" thing on my iPhone. Pretty much where I was last time. I've been naughty enough here and there to slow down my progress. However, I believe I'm still on track for my goal weight on my goal date!

In other news...Since today's supposed to be a pretty nice day, here are some Friday time wasters:

In the music department, here's a drum machine that has different effects tied to the letters on your keyboard. Make some music and share with your cubicle neighbor! LINK

Also...See what kind of song you can come up with, with this fun little program. LINK

In the art/entertainment department, here's a fun site where movie/film posters are reduced to an abstract image. They're really cool looking and you can even play a game by guess what movie the poster is for. The "How to Play" can be found on the site! LINK

Outside of those time wasters, here are a couple of opportunities to catch up with JQ99!

Coming up later today (Friday, May 8th) I'll be broadcasting live at Garden Crossings from 5-7. Stop out and pick up some flowers for mom before Mother's Day arrives. Also...For any JQ Family Rewards members...I'll have a Bonus Code!

Tomorrow (Saturday, May 9th), you can find me, Ceci, Mandy, and Sports Director Roger Allen, driving/riding along in the Tulip Time Meijer Muziekparade. Thing is...the line up online doesn't have us in there...so I won't make a promise that we'll be there! :)

That's about it. Take care of yourself, others, and call your mom! It's her day on Sunday!

Oh and just for fun...Here's an image that made me laugh:

Losin' It: Week 3 (Back on track)

Okay...So...After meeting my wife, getting married, and having a child, I've put on a significant amount of weight...FOR ME. So...I decided to do something about it.

A couple of things about me...I like games/contests and technology! So with my iPhone in hand I sought out an application that would assist me in my quest of losing a couple of pounds.

Here's the stats for you:

* Starting weight: 180
* Goal weight: 165
* Plan: Lose 1 pound per week.

Take a look at this screenshot.



Within the last 3 weeks, I've lost 5 pounds. Oh..and that spike towards the end? That's Easter weekend. Oops!

I'll try and share more as I continue "Losin' It!"

Daddy Day Care...uh...Day

So our Day Care provider headed out for Spring Break early, leaving us to find a replacement. Well...part of the "Replacement Plan" involved me staying home today with Baby Emerson. That's ALONE...for a LONG TIME...for the FIRST TIME!

Here's what I was greeted with this morning when I woke up. CLICK HERE!

Yeah...So...HAPPY FRIDAY! I'll try and check in throughout the day and let you know how the Daddy Day Care is running!

Children Books into Movies...

Okay...So here's the deal. I don't like reading. Never been a big fan. I can do it...but it's not enjoyable for me. I'd rather do something else. Get the picture?

Well...This is who I've been since I was a kid. Now, I'm guessing that I am 1 of a 'handful' of individuals who has NEVER read the book, "Where the Wild Things Are". Don't know why the book never crossed my path, just never did.

Anyway...I bring it up, because by something short of a miracle, Hollywood has taken a short children's book and turned them into full-length feature movie. They have done "the Grinch"..."Hornton Hears a Who"..."The Polar Express"...and maybe a few others. Now..."Where the Wild Things Are" is coming to theaters.

I watched the trailer...Not bad. Click here to view the Trailer!

All that to say, that my FAVORITE children's book...one of the few books I've ever read, still has yet to become a full-length feature.

Where's my...

..."Harold and the Purple Crayon"!

This is a book I'd like to see transformed into a live action movie! So...Hear my cry Hollywood...please make, "Harold and the Purple Crayon"!
