Rude Awakening

Started playing with the new DS Lite especially Brain Age this past nite. First time playing this game gave brain age of 70 then after a couple of days of working thru it went down to 40 :) He he yeah 40 wut a number too young to fall into that category
Its a really interesting game. Take for instance our dependence on calculators & cell phone gadgets to do our calculations. This game has a 100 addition, subtraction, multiplication questions ur supposed to answer as quickly as u can. Sad how technology has ruined our great memory of a brain from being being so stuck on the 'wonderful' calculator.....

So yeah playing that all nite & Super Mario led to waking up late thinking hey its Saturday still hence driving like a maniac on the highway to get to work....

Hmm in the news today Obama would be selecting his vp candidate this week. :) I wish it was Bloomberg or Al Gore even. but I doubt *sigh* watch it be Hillary Clinton to try to use the 'female' card as 1st vp.... I mean I'm glad that she ran for president but still its about Ur credentials not oh i want to be the 1st female president/vp.

Something else read in this weeks businessweek, companies such as GE are using the Olympics as their platform areas to showcase their innovative ideas. One item discussed was this ultra sound type of device that can detect ligaments or damages incurred by athletes to determine remedies for them. Another one was with Nike where they gave Le Bron James & Kobe Bryant shoes that have so new fiber in them that is 5X's the strength of steel or even the Phelps dude gets goggles from Speedo that help with seeing things crystal clear while in the water to compete. What ever happened to using Ur abilities to win a game & not something some marketing director felt would help in winning the game & bring in the tangible returns to the company :)

Argh too much sugar in the body from cake at work. too many b-days at work its like y r u going to stuff yourself with cream,sugar, and eggs? Couldn't ppl just pitch in & give the b-day person some gift card or a nice trip to a baseball/football game, or better yet one day pass to a spa to relax from all the turmoil the person has endured at work :) nope ppl don't think in that manner ; they want to be stuffed with more sugared stuff which will go straight to their thighs eh & they'll complain later "I'm getting fat".....

Well Good nite then back to reality tomorrow morning
