Snoskred - Life in the Country

A few bits and pieces from the web and my home.

On a recent blog topic, Sephy has posted Where Did Wordpress Go Wrong?

The Other Half has been doing Yoga on the Wii Fit - and loving it. There is no possible way that he would have tried Yoga without the Wii Fit. Isn’t technology wonderful?

I love the Wii Fit myself - in particular the step aerobics.

I did a bit of stumbling today and put together some of my favourite finds for you to enjoy.

One Word - This is cool - they give you one word and sixty seconds to write about it.
Spiral Pictures - Mesmerizing.
Dear Dad - If only the internet had been around when I was getting bad report cards!
World Maps This site looks pretty handy.
Spectacular Cockpit Photos - Wow, these are stunning!
Cliche Finder - This might come in handy.

In a few days - on Wednesday in fact - Aussie Bloggers will be releasing a new tool for bloggers which is funny yet also potentially handy at the same time.  So be sure to check in at the Aussie Bloggers Blog on Wednesday.

So the last couple of weeks I’ve been on a bit of an upside down schedule. I’ve been doing a lot of work and staying up later than usual. I’m typing this at 12:49am on Thursday morning and as I am typing it, I have these little headphones on.

This is the Blueant bluetooth wireless headset. I am completely wireless. The little transmitter is plugged into the home stereo amplifier and I am able to go pretty much anywhere in the house and still hear the sound. In fact you can also plug in a microphone and use it with Skype if you want to. I can put on a dvd, the radio, cds, music, tv, whatever I like. Mostly I watch.. err.. listen to tv. Right now it is Law and Order.

What I’ve learnt is there is a lot more to the sound of most shows than you usually pick up just listening to it through speakers. You can hear so much more with the headset.

This way I don’t miss any of the show - I can go to the kitchen and make a snack (or cookies!) - grab a glass of water - go to the bathroom - if I need to run back to the computer to do something I can, plus the other half isn’t kept awake with my “noisy” shows. Yep, by that he means The View. Cos he doesn’t like all those women talking over each other.

I recommend everyone gets a bluetooth headset thingy.
