The Ramblings of Ken

For those that have not heard yet, Google Voice is a new telephone service. It allows you to make free long distance calls, have unlimited text messaging, and provides voicemail transcription. It is awesome! Read more about it here.

By the way, you can use this button below to call me on my Google Voice number.

I was washing my hands in the men's restroom earlier today and as I went to grab some paper towels I stopped and read what it said on the dispenser. I don't know why I never have paid attention before. It says "Emergency feed on the side. Turn knob." Um... is there such thing as an emergency when paper towels aren't coming out of the bottom of the dispenser for you to pull on? Is your life at risk because the paper towels aren't working right?

Maybe it should say something like "manual feed on the side, turn the knob if no paper towels are coming out." Ha ha ha! Maybe I am wrong, and it should qualify as an emergency... I just have a hard time understanding I guess.

I made a recent purchase of a bluetooth car stereo! So far I love it! It is a Sony MEX-BT2700. It connects to my LG Chocolate 2 via both A2DP and HFP profiles. Music streaming works flawlessly with my phone and hands free calling is awesome via the car speakers and built in microphone!

Here is a video taken with my phone when I installed it...

So, it turns out that Las Vegas is a lot of fun when you don't go with your parents. We came to Vegas a few years ago and basically just walked up and down the strip and we all thought it was lame.

Well, now my roommates and two other guys came down to Vegas and we are having a blast! Tonight we are going to see Phantom of the Opera and I am SO excited! I will post later about the show and also with pictures.

This post was done on a Mac mini in the Apple Store in Caesar's Palace.

So, my mage is now fairly well geared. I've cleared Naxxramas and Obsidian Sanctum several times. I still have yet to do Malygos, but I'll get there. I have 3 of the 5 T7 pieces Valorous Frostfire Shoulderpads, Heroes Frostfire Robe, and the Heroes Frostfire Gloves. I know... some of you are saying, "But you don't have all 5 pieces of Valorous gear! WTF are you doing playing another character?" Well, I'm not done, I will still raid with him every now and then.

Anyway, I kind of started to get bored of the mage and I am now leveling my Shaman. I want to try out healing these raids and see how difficult it is. My Shaman is now level 74 and steadily climbing. So far I am really enjoying his new healing talents. I am looking forward to being able to run heroics and raids to really test the new talents and abilities.
