Today I won a new 8gb micro SD card during a raffle at my office. My digital camera uses normal SD cards, so I sold the micro SD card that I won to a friend of mine. One of the guys won a brand new 16gb Creative Zen. I have a 4gb Creative Zen with a 16gb SDHC card in it and I absolutely love it. I haven’t had any kind of trouble with it and it’s probably my favorite gadget. You can find the 4gb model for under $100. I pretty much keep the internal 4gb memory filled with music that I rip from my CD collection and I fill the 16gb SDHC card with videos and things like that. It comes in really handy if I’m flying somewhere or any other occasion where I don’t have anything to do but sit there. The battery life is about 20 hours or so for music playback and 5 hours or so for video playback. You can’t beat that.

A while back I mentioned some bulk cable being left over from a networking job my office had done. Well, one of the guys from the office came up to me last week and asked how much I would sell it for. I guess he’s doing some work in his home and home office and needed some cable for it. I told him we could work out a trade. Long story short, I’ve got 6 free oil changes whenever I need them.

A friend of mine drives a big rig truck for a living. One of the guys he works with was recently involved in an accident and almost had to hire one of those expensive truck accident lawyers. Luckily nobody was fataly injured in the accident. The car that drove out in front of him was held responsible for the accident. There were a few witnesses that told the police what happened and they let my friend go.
