Amazon just e-mailed me to let me know that they have the Segway available to order now. If it was under $3,000, I might consider it, as I could get rid of the Taurus, and just ride the Segway to work. I could just park it in my office even!
I've spent much of the weekend playing with my new TV, the Panasonic PT-53wx42. I've wanted a big screen TV for a long time, and now I finally have one. You haven't seen a DVD until you've seen it on a 53" HDTV widescreen. This is definitely going to reduce the amount of films I see in a theatre, as my basement doesn't have strangers yelling back at the screen or snoring loudly in the seat behind me. I swear that if I'm ever called to jury duty, and the case involves someone accused of inflicting violence upon an inconsiderate movie-goer, I'm going to acquit. Update:Coincidentally, I just found that Wil Wheaton posted a similar (and longer) rant on his weblog too. Great minds think alike, I guess.
I've been busier than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest this week. My coworker's grandmother passed away, so he's been out much of the week, leaving me to tackle the classroom projectors, which have all conspired to break down at the same time. Meanwhile, I'm trying to get everything organized for the LAN party I'm hosting at my house tomorrow night. We're going to play a lot of Age of Mythology starting at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, and quitting when our eyes start bleeding. Oh, and I have to work tonight at Software, Etc. while managing to get everything taken care of for the TiVo and iBook I put up for auction. At least the TiVo sold to a professor here on campus, so I don't have to ship it anywhere.
In case you're ever looking to call in an airstrike on my house, the GPS coordinates are:42° 30' 13 N 092° 26' 57 W
I scored a good deal last night on a place setting of our china pattern on eBay. Only $19.99 for something that'd cost at least $90 in a store.
