We had a good time on vacation despite the lack of wifi. On the way down to Orlando out flight out of Minneapolis was delayed 20 minutes. Not to bad. We had a hour to wait at the airport, but no free wifi in the Minneapolis Airport. They did have wifi, but it was $8 a day, and I didn’t need it that bad since we were there for only an hour and I had podcasts to listen to.

In St. Louis we were delayed two hours because they didn’t have a pilot for our plane. I guess our pilot was coming from Boston and they were having weather out there. No wifi what so ever in St. Louis. We ate and then just hung out and I listened to more podcasts. We didn’t get to our hotel until almost 1:00 AM. It was no big deal because we had no plans for the first day.

The hotel was super nice. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, Jacuzzi tub, full kitchen, it had everything a person would want except wifi. It wasn’t to bad since we were out and about most of the days, but it would have been nice to have some of the Internets at night.

I am not a huge theme park fan, but my wife likes them. Saturday we went to Sea World, Sunday we spent the day with my family that lives down there, and then Monday we went to MGM Studios. It was a fun time. It wasn’t to warm down there. It was only in the 60ºs, but it felt way better than the 10º we came home to.

On the way back home I did find some free wifi at the Orlando Airport. Every Airport should have free wifi. We weren’t in the Orlando Airport long enough to do much. I was able to download a couple of podcasts to listen to on the way home and that was about it.

The trip home was pretty uneventful. Short vacation are nice. I don’t really like being gone that long, but man it did go by very fast.

Well we are back from Orlando.

I had a great time.

I am way behind on my RSS feeds.

I will be back when I get caught up.

So guess what I went and did at 3:00 in the morning?

I went out and shoveled snow.

We must have gotten at least 6 inches so far. It was still coming down, but the plow just came by and I wanted to say ahead of the game since a lot more snow it on its way. It is actually a pretty nice night out despite the snow. I didn’t need to wear gloves or a jacket.

Florida is sure going to feel nice on Friday though.

I couldn’t resist it any longer. I signed up for Twitter. You can find my Twitter here. Now you can really stalk me if you want. I plan to post all the little crap that I am thinking there.

Another thing I did over the weekend was play around with Tumblr. Tumblr is another blogging platform. It is more of a link blog thing. It designed for mainly posting links, pictures, and videos. I am debating weather to use it as my link blog or not. Google makes is so easy to add stuff to my link blog, but everything I add has to be from Google Reader. That’s usually not a problem since I live in Google Reader. Almost everything I read is in Google Reader. If you are looking at starting a link blog you might want to look into Tumblr. Leo Laporte and Merlin Mann both have tumblr blogs if you want to check a few out.

So it was a boring snowy weekend, but I was very productive. I got 100% caught up on my podcasts for the first time in months, I fixed our running toilet that has been sticking and running for the past couple of weeks, and I bought a labeler and organized the file cabinet. Our file cabinet has been a mess for months and it has been bothering me. I am kind of a neat freak. My desk may look like a mess, but everything is in it’s place. My tools are also all clean and organized, and everything has its drawer. Now that I got a labeler I can start labeling everything and be even more organized. Yeah, I am a freak.

This has been a bad year so far for people dying. I guess it all started with Darrent Williams on New Years Day. Just this week there have been three unexpected deaths in the sports world. First you had Dennis Johnson, then Ladainian Tomlinson’s dad, and now Damien Nash. Nash was the second Bronco to die in three months. Then there is that chick that is all over the news. Who’s next?

So I just got curious how old Wil Wheaton is. Of course I checked Wikipedia. Check it out, Wil is wearing a Tsunami Bomb t-shirt. I wonder if he has check out The Action Design yet? Anyways, he is 3 years older than me. That’s about what I though.

I finally got around to doing our taxes tonight. I knew we owed so I haven’t been in to much of a hurry. In the past I have used TaxCut, but this year I got Turbo Tax. I like Turbo Tax way better. I bet it only took me 10 minutes to do both federal and state. Using TaxCut there always seemed to be a few questions that made me go hmmm. Turbo Tax seemed way more user friendly. Turbo Tax even imported data from our last years taxes which we used TaxCut for. Another thing I liked about Turbo Tax was that it gave the option to export as pdf. I now have a copy of our taxes on the NAS in a pdf. I wish I had past years in pdf. More pdfs means less file cabinet clutter. That’s another thing I need to get done this weekend. Our filing cabinet is a mess.

Anyways, we only own $630 combined. That’s not so bad. I got the checks written out and everything, but they wont be dropped in the mail until April. Why send it in early?
