I looked up my stats in Battlefield 2142. Seems that I’ve done quite well for myself. I am currently #9 in the USA and #36 in the world according to 2142-stats.com. For confirmation, I’ve attached a couple of screenshots.

Hey, Christmas time is here. It’s a nice time of year. I get to take some time off of work without feeling guilty about it. Sadly, this year I have to take a lot of work home with me since I have a deadline to meet at the start of the new year.  But still… I can rest at home.

Works out even better that I am home this week because I screwed up my ankle. I was out back running with the dogs when my ankle went sideways. I don’t know if it was a stick, a mount of dirt or just clumsiness, but I twisted my ankle good. At first I thought I might have broken it since I heard a horrible snap. Luckily that wasn’t the case. I’ve been hobbling on crutches for almost two days to let it heal. Then with company coming tonight, I’ll loosen it up and try walking on it. Should be a good show.

If you haven’t yet seen, Toyota has been showing off their new line of robots. These robots were built to eventually take over the world help you around the house and at the mall. There’s a segway-like version that you can sit and ride in. Then there’s the version with legs that can walk about, play violin, hold you hostage in the house and hopefully help with the chores.

There is a video available and it really shows you how creepy these things are. I want one… no doubt. But they are just creepy in some strange way.
