Jan. 8/08
I had a great time at Disney World. I went to Epcot on a Disney bus. At Epcot I went on lots of rides. I went on the Finding Nemo ride three times. Then I went on Soarin’. And Test Track. Then I went back to the hotel to watch the Weather Channel. I saw the Local on the 8s.

Great ad from Nike, directed by Oscar-winning director Errol Morris. (via AdFreak)
I’ve been enjoying The Superest, a version of a cartoon war. Start at the bottom and scroll up to see who beats who. (It’s on hiatus for the holiday, but there’s lots to catch up on…)
I’ve always wanted to do something along this line, but as yet none of my colleagues have wanted to battle.
Cute vid of cat in bath—who seems happy about it! (via Neatorama)
As opposed to Photon, who spends most of bathtime on her hind legs trying to get out, and so who needs two of us to keep her in the tub.
Wii Chores, shrinkwrapped
Laura and I (but mainly Laura) faked up the packaging for a Wii game, modelled after one of the ones Nintendo itself created. Erik contributed great hunks of the promotional copy for the back. We inserted the label into a spare DVD case, labelled a DVD inside and added a little instructional handbook (that acutally contained a gift certificate), and with that we had Meghan and Austin hovering between belief and skepticism for a good three minutes. The coup de grace was that I had carefully removed the shrink wrap off of one of Jon’s DVD presents and more or less seamlessly got it on the fake, adding that extra bit of verisimilitude. (Jon was sold; he wanted to play it before we gave it to Meghan.)
Patti (Meghan’s mom) was right though: the top right chore gave it away. We should have put one of the other chores there, no one would send this to market with the scooping of dog poop so prominently featured.
I know only two things about this gentleman. He goes by the name Heita3 on YouTube, and he makes wind instruments out of vegetables.
I love my doggy Photon. I like to give Photon some kibbles and I also like to give Photon a kiss and a hug. When I see her I say, “Photon kisses for me”. I like to play ball with her. On Saturday, December 15/07 my daddy is going to help me video tape the ski conditions and the highway conditions.
