40 days ago I shaved my head bald. Yesterday was the first day I woke up with messed up hair. I showered before bed and when I woke up I had a small patch of hair sticking out (more than the others). So….for me it takes 40 days to grow a bad hair day.

Pointless, but mildly entertaining for a few minutes. You can also reach it via AIM: (aim id sternestmeanings)

I hope this is a joke. From http://www.mollibrands.com/:

Yum! Give me a bottle of bacon delight, please!

On Sunday, I shaved my head….bald. I have wanted to do it for a long time (for some unknown reason) and I finally did it. I telecommute so nobody sees me anyway. :) I found some tips on http://headshaver.org and followed those. We used dog clippers to first remove most of the hair, then a razor (Mach III) and shaving gel to remove the rest.
Here are some before, during, and after pics.
It feels weird and cool at the same time. Too bad it’s not so WHITE. I think it might look ok with a tan up there. I actually liked the buzzcut look. This is a one-time thing though – I will now let it grow back (that was the agreement I had to make with my wife). My daughter doesn’t like it.
Warning: I use the word “cool” way too much in this post. Forgive me.
Besides having a cool name, what Tinchilla does is actually pretty cool. It cools a can of soda in about 60 seconds.
The Tinchilla is a simple device which utilizes the scientific principle of thermal conduction. By spinning the can at an optimised speed the metal of the can is rapidly chilled by exposing its surface to the ice cubes and water surrounding it. The spinning can is also given a slight wobble resulting in a whirlpool effect inside. This whirpool allows as much of the drink as possible to be exposed to the now chilled surface of the can thus rapidly transferring the heat from inside to the surrounding water and ice.
Runs on 2 AA batteries and ice. Cool.
