My inner quack revealing itself. I mean, what use could colored lenses really provide to a computer user? Having said that, there are enough reviews (gadgetreview, wired, gizmodo) from people I consider to be my peers that this isn't just a gimmick.

So, who'd like to pony up ~$80 for my new pair of eyes? And I thought that I was finished with glasses after Lasik...

This evening Anastasia was cooking food for the coming week.  As a result, our apartment got rather hot.  When I went to take some trash outside I was surprised at how much it had cooled down, and there was a gentle breeze blowing.  The lovely evening was emphasized all the more by the stuffy indoors.

Strangely, the first thing that came to my mind was that when we buy a house, it will need a porch.  It may take a little while to afford it, but before the kids have all flown the coop, I'd like a porch.

I realize that a porch doesn't necessarily belong on a wishlist because it is something I'll need to do myself.  However, a barren porch is a pitiful sight.  In order to be functional, there are a bunch of things required:

• place(s) to sit
• small table to hold drinks, newspaper, etc.
• wind chime
• candle in a cage
• miscellaneous small artsy-fartsy things

After scouring the Internet for a few moments, I found the images at the top.  They are things that I like, but before you go and grab any of them, you may want to check with my wife. ;-)

Here are a few interesting sites that I found while wishing for a porch:

I'm tired of getting stuck in traffic and not knowing how to unstick myself.  The husband convinced me that a new iPhone would solve my problems.  My camera is getting ready to die too, so maybe this will work as my main camera, until we can afford a real camera for me.

Santa Claus, if you're out there and listening, I want a white one.  I don't really care about how much space it has, so whatever you have available will be fine.  Just make sure it is white and is the most recent model.
