Level Of Difficulty at Work: 1.75 out of 10
NapTime During Lunch: 25min
Oi, poor roomba, it's been acting kinda schitzo for the past 3 weeks.. i called up the iRobot people (isn't that a movie or something?) and i tell them what the silly thing is doing. On it's website it says to clean every nook and crannie and i did that, still it goes all over. It comes out to be a malfunction on the sensor on the wheels.. oi.. got a return #, and only had to send off this one little component, and they'll send me a whole new one minus the removable parts.. woot!
i've been trying to study some more tricks at Lighter Tricks.com which is a spawn of zippo tricks.com.. ZippoTricks.com got canned because it was sponsored by Zippo lighters. The tricks were cool and nifty and of course someone had to spoil the fun and blamed it on the zippo people. Lo and behold a new site appears with new and improved stuff! I find it funny that 60% of zippo tricksters don't smoke. It's just a skill people want to play with.. What did it for me was this guy Morten Kjolberg whos the founder of lightertricks. There are tricks with spins and twists. This guys tricks involve tossing and setting his own finger on fire.. I dunno when i'm gonna attempt that one, it looks kinda nifty.. Until you download the video of it Gone Bad.. owza..
Kinda funny how a little a piece of metal with less than 10 parts can produce so much interesting things.. I like the zippo for it's 'clink' opening sound.. Kinda like when i shoot my M1 Garand just to hear the 'ting!' of the clip flip off the rifle.. It's the simple things that matter.. Need a light anyone?
