Dang Google News

So I was looking on Google News. If you type in "Kim Heiny" a few links come up. If you type in "Elizabeth Heiny" a few links come up. But, if you type in "Sarah Heiny" .. nothing comes up. Sarah is always in the middle! It's either Elizabeth, Sarah, and Kim Heiny, or Kim, Sarah, and Elizabeth Heiny.

Gah.

Well anyway. It's a three day weekend, and I've been watching Psych because I've run out of Monk episodes. I've also done some of my English homework and some of my Chem. Wahoo! I'm making a dent in my hugeee pile. This is good news. :]

Driving Home from CES

So my dad and I are driving home from CES right now. We woke up at eightish and went down to breakfast. I got a chocolate chocolate chip waffle. Yummm. Basically, I think I had a better time at CES than I did last year. I met more people and saw more things. Last year we were just getting used to the way things went at CES, and seeing how things ran. We pretty much stayed at the Microsoft booth the whole time, which was okay, it was just a different experience.

Beth and Kim stayed back at CES, so there should be more things updated on NeekTalk.com regarding CES. Thanks to everyone who has supported us this far, and we can't wait to get out there with more NeekTalks. :)

CES!

Okay, so we opened NeekTalk, and have been posting our CES adventures. :)

CES

TOMORROW.

Uhm. Basically?

I'm excited x9321789.
Mmhmm.

I mean, we are missing three days of school for it, but I am sure that I can make up the work. My only concern is my engineering class, where most of the work is done in class. But we'll figure something out. Yeah!

And I can't wait for the Cheeseburger Las Vegas. Ohh yeah. Last time it was tons of fun .. so I'm ready again.

As for Neek Talk, we're setting up the camera and the microphone so we can have a live cam. And, well of course, meet // interview people. I think that'll be awesome, and I'm excited x937187. Hopefully with this new camera we'll have more stuff coming from CES. You know, videos of things we think are cool .. :)

This time I really want to get out there and explore things. Talk to more people, ask more questions.

Anyway. I'm beyond excited for CES 2007. :)

Live Writer! // Ink.

Soo .. I'm posting using Live Writer. :)

It's actually pretty neat.

Right now, we're getting ready for post an ink blog, with a picture and everything, so I thought I should learn how to use this thing. I think it's pretty neat.

But anyway. There was actually a point to this post. So I was going to google today, and I was using a UMPC, right? I don't remember what I was typing, but it was a bazillion and one letters long -- not nice when you're using the UMPC. I mean, if I could just use the pen for every website .. my life would be ten times easier. You know, a tablet compatible YouTube, maybe? Or how about a MySpace where you can leave ink comments, eh? See, that would be good for me.

I like how MSN has it so that you could use the pen when iming. Now I'm just waiting for AIM and YIM. But of course, yahoo has the doodle thing .. but that just isn't the same ..

So. MySpace // YouTube // AIM .. get inkified!

Please?

2007!

Sooo it's 2007!

Last night we watched Star Wars III (with popcorn, of course) leading up to the New Year. Then, after the ball dropped, we watched Dead Poet's Society.

Now, we're watching the Rose Parade .. Yayy!

I don't have a resolution yet .. but hopefully by the end of the day I'll think of a good one. Mmhmm.

And .. this means that I've had this blog for over four years now .. wahoo!

Yesterday // Today

I woke up this morning to snow. It wasn't snowing, but it had snowed last night. We ate cereal [[LIFE!! YEEEAH.]]

Kim and Cameron left a little after 11, which left Beth and I to do the podcast, so I came back downstairs. It sounds so much better than we thought it was going to be. It was our second time recording it, and there was no way we could have redone it, because Kim has gone back to California. But, as it turns out, it was just the quality of the speakers on this Tablet. Suggestion: Don't buy the compaq tc1100 if you want good speakers, mmk?

When we finally got the podcast edited and online, it was, like, three o'clock, and I had to shower and get dressed so my dad and I could go to JCPenny's to get the stuff we'd left there yesterday. They didn't even ask anything to verify that it was ours, but it was okay, because it really was our stuff.

Then we came back I came back downstairs to make the NeekTalk MySpace, and then after that was done, I went with my dad to get MILKKKK. Mmhmm. When we came back, it was dinner, and we ate some ham and green beans and stuff like that.

After dinner I came back downstairs and here I am. Yayy.

But last night was very nice, too. Everyone dressed up and looked really nice, and we went to this super nice restaurant for dinner. There were (I think) 15 of us, and we got a room for ourselves. It was funny though, because as soon as we got in there, we rearranged the tables because they weren't "familyish" enough for us. It was cool.

So dinner was nice -- we got prime rib. YEEEAH. But I don't think it was cooked enough. Either way, it was good.

When we finally got home, the house was decorated, and we had some cake. Yumm. I spent forever trying to get their cutting of the cake // feeding it to eachother video up. It took like 15 minutes to upload, only for YouTube to tell us it didn't work. So we tried it again, and .. it worked. Yayy. It was a cute video though.

So that was my day[s].

Neek Talk Has a MySpace??

Mmhmm.

So, if you have one, add them -- www.myspace.com/NeekTalk

:)

Neek Talk: CES 2007 Podcast

Listen.

Beth and I did the editing -- it started out at about eight minutes and got cut down to a little less than four. We have discovered that the speakers of the compaq tc1100 isn't very good, but we got around that little problem.

Anyway, listen and enjoy. :)

CES Podcast

East Coast!

Soo we just got back from the East coast! We first went to go visit my new baby cousin, who was born on Thanksgiving Day. Her name is Abby, and she is absolutely adorable. Even though she slept almost the entire time, and I was getting over a cold so I didn't hold her that much .. she has proved her cuteness. We took tons of pictures of different people holding her .. and .. it was awesome x974793.

After we went there, we visited my step-uncle and hung out with his kids for a few days. Beth got sick for a while, but after she got better we had an awesome time watching one of the girls perform in a school concert, and going out to eat, and shopping at Target .. cool stuff like that.

Then, after that, we went to my step-grandparent's house. It was nice there, in Onley, Virginia. My sister and I named it Lonely Onley because there were seriously about 15 shops in the whole town. Including McDonalds. And, there was a shop named Pebbles. Beth and I changed the lyrics of the "Weebles Wobble blah blah blah" to fit Pebbles in. Hehe. I think the locals wanted to kick us Californians out.

We also went to Chincoteague. Nobody was their either, but Beth and I played around on the beach for a while. We also ended up taking a mileish hike to where we were supposed to see wild horses .. but we got to the outlook and there wasn't a single one. Maybe it was because it was raining? Possibly.

El Report Card-o

Yeah.

So I got my report card the other day.

All F's, of course. *wink wink*
