Vitamin Water

I sometimes need a pick-me-up in the afternoon expecially when I am on the road, not such a big deal when working in town. I will typically either go for a coke or a traditional (yellowy-greeny) gatorade. no trad gatorade, didn't want a coke, so i thought i would try one of these vitamin water things. they have nice colours, aesthetically pleasing packaging, good names and funny descriptions. I like: balance, focus, power, heck i am pretty sure I like 'em all.

Rancid Carrot Wars - Escalation

we have now gone beyond rancod carrots to co-workers toys (slinkies), coffee cups and garbage. after a recent barage by Mark, he dictated some "rules" of engagement.
  1. No line of sight; must throw blindly accross cubical walls
  2. Cannot break computer monitors (seems to me with XP this is debatable)
  3. Cannot break opponents glasses (if you can't aim... well you get the idea)
I have come to the conclusion that Mark is just a warlord who wants it all his own way.

Seahorses

My five year old is doing a school project on seahorses and she has to give a presentation (powerpoint is an option - not kidding!). Anyway, she told me tonight that male seahorses not only give birth to baby seahorses but they carry them in a pouch like a kangaroo. Being a bit of a skeptic I had to check this out; low and behold it is true - who knew? Not really sure what I learned in kindergarten, but apparently I never knew anything about seahorses.

Rancid Carrot Wars

ok, i just started blogging at COREid Nitty-Gritty and I am having fun so I thought I would try my hand at my own eventually. Well, my good friend Mark Miller keeps throwing these shrivelled up little carrots at me. It is very distracting but fun to retaliate. This of course has lead to escalation problems (more force, larger items, etc.). WHo know where it will end?
