Geronimo - the giant sailboat

Is this sailboat huge or what? Turns out, this is the record-breaking Geronimo. We came across it when sailing the bay in James' 40-foot sailboat on Sunday. It was a fun trip for me - first time sailing. There are more pics at Flickr. :)

It's getting hot in here!

So take off all your clothes... oops, not so fast, this is the bay area after all :)
Keep a jacket packed, just to be sure. I'll probably be sailing in the bay with a friend from work and will definitely take a jacket to make sure I don't freeze in this arctic water that seems to have a direct conduit to the shores of Nor-Cal.

Anyway, hot weather is here. Pool parties around the corner, had a small start with some dessert tonight. The week went by so so for both App and me. Highlight of the week: App's long overdue birthday present - the Nintendo DS Lite. I'd been waiting for it to go on sale and gifted it to her on Sunday, day of release, well US release anyway. She loves it so far - with just the Brain Age game - tests, calculations and sudoku. Nintendogs wasn't so well received. Oh well, plenty more games to try.

Also been watching some world cup soccer since we're getting all the matches, in HD too. Have a knack for missing all the good goals though, even when I get up early to watch live. Need to cut down on bathroom breaks, etc.? Can't wait for a HD version of Tivo or the Comcast DVR.
Will stop rambling and get to bed now, tomorrow is the Italy vs. USA game!!

This video is too funny for words - watch!



Thanks, Roshni!

Here's last month's consumption - there were some good wines here. The trend looks to continue this month. Also, click through to Flickr to see notes for this and last month's wine (which I forgot to post).

Belkin WiFi VOIP phone w/ Skype

This phone looks pretty neat. Belkin might be learning a few things from making so many Apple accessories, you think? Anyway, read
this article but I wish we had more details like a price or date. If it was $150 or below, I can see myself using this. $100 would be the magic price point at which I would get one for each of my family locations :)
