I think my wife is finally starting to agree with me – CSI Miami is just about as cheesy as TV comes anymore, and I think they do it on purpose. Then again, Caruso can only dig so deep…

• Give your resume a face lift
  After avoiding the 7 deadly sins of résumé design, you may be asking, “If I can’t use crazy colors, clip art, and other types of decoration, how do I make my résumé stand out from the crowd?” Like many things, the answer lies in the details.

Had a fun week outside of work, with a concert on Sunday and another on Thursday. With all the RIAA crap floating around, I guess I assumed that cameras and such weren’t allowed in concerts anymore, so I missed out on pics of our Barenaked Ladies Are Me show on Sunday. When we returned for the Mercy Me concert on Thursday, though, we were ready to go.

Mercy Me – Nov 2, 06

Oh, yes. I will be seeing this one (IMDB link). Considering how many times I’ve seen Shaun of the Dead, I’m anxious to see the duo of Peg and Frost back together again. I even recorded the BBC showings of Spaced just to keep things going. I know STD isn’t for everyone, but it is pretty close to the top of my favorite movie list. Just a fun, fun movie… with living dead…

Well, I did my “husbandly” duty and replaced a bad exhaust fan in our master bathroom last night. For a large portion of you, that probably doesn’t seem like much, but for yours truly, while technology comes fairly easy, manual labor is far from my strong suit.

I had purchased a replacement fan kit a the previous night, but when it came time to install, there was a piece missing from the kit and it’s location on the assembly meant that my usual scattered self couldn’t have misplaced it. After about an hour of assuming I was an idiot, I verified that “it weren’t all there” and called it a night. After returning it and double checking the new kit in the parking lot of the HD,
I headed home for round two. After struggling to see through the debris that was especially bred for blinding any would be attacker (killer drywall?), I was able to pop everything into place and hit the switch for the final verdict. I knew I was golden when I could feel the air pulling through both the door and over my fingers on the wall plate. After a quick mowing of the lawn (all .2 acres I call home), I hopped in the shower and emerged to a non-steam filled bathroom for the first time in about a week.

‘Tis the little things that makes you comfortable and replacing an exhaust fan in the bathroom that pulls double doodie duty made my world a slightly better place.

• Gadgetell – The Moto Q gets a price, date
  I’ve been looking for a nice phone to upgrade and have heard nothing but good about the Razr. I’m looking for something a little more “PDA-ish” and the price of the Q just about fits the bill. Going to be watching this one.
