Another day...

Well, I help take Jane to the doc yesterday. He mainly wants her to try and keep moving her knee, so it won't stiffin up any more than it already has. I was glad to hear that there were no problems with her knee replacement. I'll be going over to her house later today to check on her. I think I got on her good side yesterday...I took her flowers, and some sugarless candy (for her diabetes). In any case, I'm just glad that I was around to help them out.
In other news, I got Will and Sarah up early this morning. We watched the space shuttle Discovery land at Edwards AFB. Sarah had never seen the space shuttle before. lol even Rachel had no idea about how it worked. She told me she assumed they still landed in the ocean at the end of their mission. Honestly, I was amazed...these things have been flying since 1980, and she thought they still landed in the ocean!? wow. Sometimes I wonder about my wife...I guess her brain is all filled up with medical stuff, rather than spacey stuff.
Anyway I watched Discovery land, and it reminded me of sitting with my grandfather (Pop-pop). We watched the first takeoff and landing of the space shuttle (Columbia) together in 1980. I guess in a way history repeats itself. It didn't hold Sarah's attention as it held mine in 1980...of course, I wasn't missing cartoons to watch the space shuttle land either.
For the tech side of my blog- I got a replacement Ipaq yesterday. (to replace the one I accidentally destroyed) It's a bit nicer than my old one I think...I believe they've updated the model some. Thankfully I didn't lose any infomation, because I had it all backed up on my laptop.
It's kind of interesting...When I first started getting "into" technology, I did it mainly because it let me play bigger and better computer games. I hardly have time to play computer games nowadays, but now I'm learning about the technology behind things because I want to see how far I can push them. Take blogging and Podcasting for instance...3 years ago these technologies didn't exist. We can now do what amounts to radio and television broadcasts over the net'. This is a new technology called IpTV . It amounts to a television show you can download from the internet and watch. Initally, many of the shows using this tech had fairly poor production value, but now they're getting really good. Some of the shows I watch or listen to are: Systm , From The Shadows , and This Week in Tech . All of these shows are tech related.
What I like the most is that the line between TV, Radio, and Internet is beginning to blur so much, that you can't tell where one begins and the other ends. Take a look at some of the links in this blog and tell me you don't agree. cya all later-
