Shattered Sun

Wow, it’s amazing what Xerox has been able to do! They just put in a patent on some new technology that allows them to “decode” the patterns in black & white copies and print them in color. Yes, that’s right. Is that not the coolest innovation? Just imagine the possibilities in both the office world and our personal lives. I work in an office that prints a lot of documents and receives a ton of faxes. If we could receive the faxes and decode them into color images, that would make life so much simpler. I’m sure this technology is going to cost an arm and a leg initially, but I’m willing to bet that it will take off quick.

I really have been working on the whole schedule and managing time better thing. It’s working pretty well, I think. Somethings I don’t have in my schedule yet that I’d like to fit in. One is crafting because I do love it and Christmas is coming very soon. Two is getting in touch with my friends more via email, websites, and phone calls. Three is actually going to the sites that I don’t have set up as a feed. I am so addicted to blog feeds! Oh man, do I ever love them. But I think I’m not making enough effort. I mean, I read more now but I don’t comment as much now. That’s disappointing. People love to see responses. And I haven’t been giving them. So I’m putting that stuff in my schedule. Maybe it’ll work this time around.

Looks like I wrote off Mr. Neil Diamond sooner than I should’ve. Hey, what can I say? He’s got great music but in recent years has become a Las Vegas live-in. I don’t partake in LV in particular, so that’s always pushed him away from my tastes. Most reviews of his most recent album, 12 Songs is sounding good. I can see this as something that I’d buy for my mother (who’s a die hard fan) and myself. Actually, I’d probably grab it off iTunes, but you get the idea. Who’d of thunk it?

If you’re the brother of a wanted polygamist, the best thing to do would probably be to keep a low profile. This means you don’t get pulled over by police, have the driver charged with prostitution, and have $142k in envelopes labeled to “The Prophet”. Just further proof that Warren Jeffs’ brother Seth is not the brightest of the bunch.

And you’d think it would’ve been nice. And it sort of was. Except it was supposed to be for a surgery for Zackery. Yep, another ear surgery. Of course, that was a go until he woke up this morning around 2 am vomiting. After I clean him up and all he gets into bed with us and he was definitely running a temperature. Come 5 am when we had to get up to get ready for the 7 am surgery, he’s running near 101 and can’t keep anything in him. Long story short, surgery is moved to November 29th now. Which isn’t a bad thing, but it’s definitely not a good thing either. And he was sick all day long! No food really stayed in til this evening and he was up to 103 at one point. It’s down now, thankfully. I even think he might be able to go to school tomorrow. I just can’t believe our luck that he’d get sick the one day he needed to be well. What are the odds!? Anyway, I’m heading to bed. That’s where he is and I better sleep in case something happens and he starts getting worse in the night. Keep your fingers crossed!
