I'm back! it's been a while because of this fixture design and manufacturing project that I've just officially finished. WOO! Boy, there was overtime, and weekend working, and major hurdles, but I'd rather not get into details. This weekend was just what I needed to unwind and I didn't even know it was coming. My uncle tells me on Thursday night that I have to drive him down to Eugene so that he can drive my cousin's car back to Portland to get it Smogged. Oregon has this crazy backwards rule where you have to get the car DEQ'ed (Smogged in Cali) in the city that it was registered in? So instead of having it smogged conveniently in Eugene, we had to have two cars travel over 200 miles roundtrip to get it done. Thats great for the environment...

But it was a blessing in disguise, because when I showed up in Eugene I found out that we were going to the beach on Saturday. Woohoo! I forgot how long it's been since I've seen the Pacific Ocean. I've taken living 1 mile from an ocean for granted. This portion of the blog shall be in pictures. I present to you:: Hobbit Beach (credits to LN and JY for their beautiful pics!)
Nice view of Hobbit Beach (left) We spent probably over 2 hours building our manly wave protection wall hahah. It was destroyed in 15 minutes. Damn you nature! (right)
You always gotta do handstands at a beach. Guess who's the gymnast and who's a good fer' nuthin' scalliwag?
The Ferocious Five
I draw the only thing that I know how to draw, Turtle Power!
I get buried, and it was so comfortable I damn nearly fell asleep! (feel free to caption-ize this pic)
Heh, thanks to Jenny's action picture taking skills, I had to make this. He was merely helping me get all that sand off, don't judge.
Then we went into town and ate Prime Rib for $12.95. Hell yes.
What else is new? ah yess, I splurged and bought myself something nice and shiny. So let's get on to the
Review
I always despised Bluetooth Headsets. So hard to use! The first one I got was this crappy cheap logitech one where I was never sure when it was on or connected or off. It would drain out of batteries cus I left it on, and I probably spent a total of 9 minutes actually using it. So since then, I stuck with the tried and true wired earpiece or the even more tried and true "cellphone held by wrenched neck" method.
But then I decided to look for one recently, because I had this Call of Duty session where there were 5+ buddies with headsets trying to talk to me, but I remained a mute. It was like I wasn't even playing with them at all! And plus, I was tired of the CHBWN method. And plus, I'm going to be driving a heck of a lot and will need emergency calling to keep myself alert (like last time when I played "I Never" over the phone). Anyways I scoured through the net seeing what the most recent new fangled reasonably priced Bluetooth headset was, and I came across this baby
Behold the Motorola H17
This thing is so cool! the microphone boom flips open and close to turn the headset on and off! Now I'll definitely know if its on or off, and it's super quick so that I can flip it open, put it on my ear and still be able to answer the incoming call. Another big feature for this is that it can connect to 2 devices at once. So imagine this: I'm playing COD with my friends, smack talking, yelling, having a grande time when suddenly my phone rings. This headset will let me switch over to my phone with one touch of a button, and when I'm done I'm back in my game. Yay! Now I understand this use case scenario doesn't apply to a lot of you, but I really love the design of this headset. Simple, elegant, and it just works. Plus it charges in 15 minutes haha
So when I'm driving back to home, feel free to give me a call. I won't end up in a ditch trying to fumble for my phone, I promise! (plus, thats illegal)

Holy COW!!! TWO DEVICES AT ONCE!! I'm not even entirely sure how that works... go technology!
And Hobbit beach, scalawags, and $13 prime rib. Dude, your weekend kicked ass...
The picture of your manly wave protection wall.. I thought that was Lisa in the middle because of the height, until I clicked on the pictor and it was David in a ditch.
Man, that prime rib was so great. I kinda regret getting the potato rounds for an extra $1.25 (they used some weird oil to fry them and they weren't crispy and had a weird texture), but the prime rib made up for everything. The service there was pretty bad, but I would go back just for another piece of that meat.
