A Long, Hard, and Tiring Week.

Man, this last week has sucked. On Friday (4/25/08) our cable TV line got hit by lightning, causing some TVs and other things such as my Wii and DVD players to not work. Many of the things that were hit were on surge protectors, but they didn't seem to work. My parents have called our insurance company (West Bend) and are debating on filing a claim. Saturday (4/26/08) I called Nintendo about my newly fried Wii. They told me to try a different AC adapter on my Wii and see if it would turn on or not then call them back. So, I called my friend, Colin and went over to his house and tried using his adapter. I had no luck, it would just light up red and not turn on or eject the disc stuck inside it. So, I called Nintendo again on Sunday (4/27/08) and told them about what the results were. They said "Well, you can't control lightning really, so we'll send you a new one if you ship the old one back we can get the disc out." I was so happy and was so worried about getting a hold of a new one and I didn't know what to do. I'm so glad I called. Anyway, that was my week, and today I shipped my Wii to Nintendo.

Spring Finally Approaching?

Looks like spring is finally here and i'm glad. I've been on my scooter a couple times this year already and I can still tailwhip and do very high jumps, e.g., going down 6 stairs. But my scooter is in very bad condition from the abuse it has had in 2007, the current tricks that have been easy for me in the past are now hard because of how loose the handlebars are and other things on it. I've had many scooters in the past but they all have been the Razor A2 Models (except one that was a Airwalk that broke the same day I bought it). So now i'm going to be saving my money for a Razor Pro Model which has increased durability in the handlebars preventing the shakeyness that I have been having with the scooters i've had in the past. Once I get that Pro Model though, I know I can tailwhip a 3 stair.

Windows Remote Assistance

These last couple days have been fun, yet challenging. I have been trying to connect with my friend Chris, who lives in Florida via Remote Assistance. I must say, it was not easy, for we have came across alot of issues that didn't make sense because i'm on Windows Vista and he is on Windows XP. Also, we had some firewall issues at one point. We now have had sucess connecting to Windows Vista while on Windows XP and vice versa. Overall I am happy though as to what we were able accomplish and now we both have more experiance as to how this cool program works, thanks Chris!

Adventures With Guinness: Toy Rescuing

Yesterday I made a new "Adventures With Guinness" video, and it was a hit. I've been getting honors like crazy. I can't wait to see how much attention my upcomming video will get when I post it in the near future.
