I'm on a boat.
Went swimming yesterday on Christmas Eve in Half Moon Cay. It's been a little cooler this time... only about 23 degrees. At sea today, heading to Jamaica tomorrow. I really, really hope it's cold back home right now.

I'm (almost) On A Boat
We're leaving tomorrow to fly down to Fort Lauderdale. On Thursday we board the ms Noordam for 56 3-hour tours. Stops include The Bahamas, Jamaica, Cayman Islands and Mexico. Back on the 30th. I'll see if I can get some of that really expensive Internet while I'm there.
Why Are You Still Using Facebook?
If you have a Facebook account and are active and use it to post comments, status updates, photos, videos, links, etc... this isn't about you.
If you have a Facebook account but aren't active with comments or photos, but keep your page active as a way for people to find you and contact you... this isn't about you.
However, if you have a Facebook account and have, for all intents and purposes, abandoned it... if you don't check it regularly, don't post content, have email notifications turned off, and ignore friend requests and messages sent... what's the point? Why don't you delete the page? Because if someone is actually trying to get in contact with you, there is a reasonable expectation of some sort of response. To not respond, because you have long since stopped being active on the site is, for lack of a better word, rude. How is someone coming onto your page to know that you'll never see any message sent?
Please do everyone a favour and clean up your online presence.

You And Everyone Else
I went to Gamestop to buy a TV mount for the Kinect. Here's how the transaction went:
Salesgirl: "These things are pretty complicated. I hope you have an engineering degree."
Me: "As a matter of fact..."
Salesgirl: "Oh right, this is Waterloo."
So not only is my degree nothing special around here, the mount was ridiculously difficult to put together.

I Wish I Knew A Word That Sounded Like "Kinect" So I Could Make A Funny Title
Yeah, I picked up a Kinect for my Xbox 360 on the weekend. It looks like it has potential. So far I only have the one game that comes with it, but hopefully they can get some other applications built for it soon. Browsing the menu is pretty easy, and it can be done from sitting down, although there's not much to browse through, as the main menu are still controller only. It recognizes gestures really well and picks up voice commands no problem. I have to give watching a movie a shot still, so that can be good.
