Ooopppss, sorry looks like the links were not working, try it now.

 

Got approved for the new second on the house. Should save somewhere between 500 and 600 on my monthly payment. So I think I have set us up (at least financially) a little better for when the twins get here. Remember I rolled in the car payment and changed the loan to a 30 year due in 15 from a variable.

The score so far is:

1 boy

1 unknown.

Should find out in about 3 weeks, hopefully, what the second one is.

 

New little project:

Make my own Parabolic WiFi antena!! Looked into buying the normal high gain booster antena's, 80 bucks a set. But a buddy of mine, saw a podcast about making your own.

http://www.dl.tv/ episode 101 if you are interested.

They were also on digg, and here is the website for the template:

Got the business card stock today at lunch and a glue stick. Total cost so far $1.03 Will construct it tonight and I will let you know how it turns out.

 

Drost made me a new sig:

Thanks Drost, it rocks!!

Did a pre-order for GOW and COD3 at Gamestop. Now I just need to turn in a few old games, get a couple of bucks and get ready for the New fraggin hotness to show up to the store.

 

That's about it, today's eye candy is a pic of Carmen Electra fallen out of her outfit. Sweet!!!

I did the same for GoW and COD3... does that mean we could be playing together again in the near future? Also - congrats and you will be called warren buffet now.

I saw the windsurfer about 5 months ago. It tried with metallic craft paper. Needless to say they use mylar, not any metal :) Anyway, paper alone doesn't seem to work well. From what I hear and read you need metal. That's why they used alluminum foil. I also read on somewhere a wire mess will work good too. I would think the smoother the surface the better. I might go to a hardware store and get some sheet of metal.

Brad, I think we will be playing again soon..But I am going to be under my leeroy jenkins tag (see tag area in blog for correct spelling). Send a fr to that tag so we can hook up. Poonga!!! Yeah, I am going to be glueing some aluminum foil on the "Parabolic Antena" portion for the reflective properties..Lets see what happens.

Threw together an antenna in 15 minutes on my lunch break. Will see if it works when XBL is back up (I don't have a laptop to check the signal). The template was shoddy so I reillustrated it. Check your PM for a link to the cleaned up templates, LB.
