I went paint balling today. I gotta say, it's incredibly fun. Like most things fun, it's just a bunch of adults pretending to be kids. But it is interesting to see how some people take it to extremes. I spent about $50 for the day, but there were some people spending hundreds on all sorts of things like grenades and mines.
The very last game we played was capture the flag, and after crawling through the brush for 10 minutes, I retrieved the flag and hopped back to base like an antelope.

I heard an interesting story today about the reCAPTCHA word verification appearing on sites lately. Very cool.

... And we're back.
Sometimes you just need a break from things, and other times things just break you. Over the past 17 months, I've been wondering if I should come back here and continue. Perhaps I should change format and get all weird on you. But then I was reading some of my past posts and saw how cool it was to have a history of my daily activity ... not at the tweeter level, but just something.
The real reason I'm back is that I finally got a laptop for my very own and now have the convenience to post nightly. My Dell 266MHz was just not cutting it and is now retired. So just this past weekend I bought a MacBook 2.16GHz. It was either that or a Lenovo Y515, but I really did not want Vista. I've actually wanted a mac for a long time if only to see what the hype was. Truth be told, after 3 days of using it, I might be a convert. But just as a reminder to all the mac haters, I still have 3 Windows machines in the house to maintain.
