Optometrist visit

A couple weekends ago I went to visit the optometrist. He was startled to find a scratch in my left eye!! He said I should have been tearing and hurting like crazy from it, but I can't even remember when and how I got the scratch. :p So I had to wear a soft contact lens in my left eye as a bandage for a couple of days before going back again. Luckily everything healed up fine. Whew... 

He took some pictures, which I've attached. The blue one is when he put that dye in the eye. He said the scratch was fairly deep, which is why the dye pooled into one spot.

Facebook ads again

Ok, now I'm being bombarded by ads saying it's ok if I loose my job, because I can make tons of money via Google somehow. Haven't checked yet. Haven't needed to yet, thank goodness. :)

Interspersed with the dating ads still, of course. ^_^

A more complex cruise control?

So I started using the cruise control on my new Prius. Given the feedback on mileage the car gives, I started thinking if a better system for cruise control can be provided. One that takes mileage into consideration.

Instead of only specifying a speed for cruise control, the driver specifies a range of speed. The car will then restrict its speed within that range while maximizing the mileage. I was thinking that this could then adapt to elevation changes and wind. I think the biggest problem would be user interface, and making the system understandable to the common driver. Maybe instead of the driver specifying a speed range, the system just assumes a range of 10 mph around the specified speed.

Wonder if I should look into patenting this crazy idea... ^_^

Piano

I've been back in CA for 6 months now (time flies! O_O) and yesterday was the first time I touched the piano. I am both ashamed and proud of myself. -__- But, I promised myself that I would play the piano first before playing video games from now on. We'll see how long that lasts... :p

Deal w/ the devil?

If this was true, we wouldn't, or at least shouldn't, be loosing money. ^_^
