I got a Playstation 3 a few weeks back.  I need some PSN friends.  My online ID is colonelpannik.  Feel free to send me a friend request.

This is what I did on my day off; I played hand model.

Also, the iPod touch is an amazing war driving device. It picks up at least 4x the networks as my PowerBook. Just in case you were wondering what else it’s good for. ;)

Went down to Jekyll Island/St. Simon’s Island with Erica, Ben, Josh, Crystal and Robbie.

Here are the highlights:

- Found two big horseshoe crabs on the beach.

- We played beach football.

- We rescued a seagull with a broken wing and took him to the Georgia Sea Turtle Centre.

- Ate dinner on St. Simon’s Island.

- Caught sea creatures in tidal pools.

- Got a nasty sunburn on my feet.

Thank you, Andy. This made my day.

But it damn near won’t buy you one glass of Guinness at Cutter’s Pub.

I decided, half jokingly, to pay for my drink with some of the gold $1 coins that have been weighing heavy in my pocket for two weeks.  I handed them over to the bartender and she said “Were you the one who brought these last week?”

“No.”

“Well.  Do you have something else?”

“I have a card.” At this point I should mention they have a $10 minimum on tabs on your card.  I didn’t feel like drinking 6 to make the minimum.

“Here.  I’ll just put that in my tip bucket.  We don’t normally roll these up for the bank…”

Forget that it’s legal tender.  They didn’t want to take my money because they don’t “roll it for the bank.”  And I almost made the bartender mad.   So, if you don’t want to make the bartender’s at Cutters mad, don’t pay for your drinks with gold coins.  No wonder pirates are always angry.  No one wants to take their gold. ;)

Check them out. Especially, the ones in the “disabled” section. The first one made me cry when I saw it.  There are some disabled folks with a great sense of humour.  But, I wonder if it offends the other disabled folks.

There are some geeky ones, some that are just silly and some pretty repulsive ones on there too.  Some, I would say, are borderline NSFW.

“You got a lobster and you got a magnet…”

This never gets old…to me.

Ok, not really.  I don’t know much about “Naruto” except that Ben’s neighbour’s kid talks about it ALL the freaking time.  That and just about everything else.

This was the second weekend in a row that we became “free” babysitters for Brian.  Not Dixon, the 13-year old Brian that lives next door to Ben.  Last week, he stayed over with us and watched “Die Hard With a Vengeance.” And we made him stay over until his mother got home after 1am.

This Friday, he invited himself to go see “Live Free or Die Hard” with us.  So, we had him in tow at the theatre.

Long story short, we made a song about him.  That may be available online soon.  It’s not just a song about him.  It’s a song about any kid that you may have ever come in contact with. We didn’t get paid to watch him, but we got a song out of it.

Nope. Not making this up. I finally got around to watching Macworld 2007 and this is one of the calls Steve made on the iPhone.

I now have several friends with Wiis. Unfortunately, the only way you can communicate with someone else who has a Wii is if both of you share your numbers and add them into each other’s address books. And, the numbers are insanely long and not “memory friendly”.

So, I would love to share my Wii number with you if you’ll share yours. Drop it into the comments for this post and I’ll be glad to add you. And, I look forward to seeing your Miis wander onto my Wii.
