| mmmm.... poison ivy....
so yeah. I got poison ivy and it was fun. carnage ensued, and lots of swelling occurred. It was fun, as previously stated. I got to take lots of fun pills and stay in the apartment for like a week straight! Yay!
I went night fishing with some of my friends out at Lake Jacomo. We got there about 10:00 PM, and had to locate firewood by moonlight. I went digging around, in the complete dark, for firewood, located some, and also got into some poison ivy. Then, I brought the firewood back to the campsite, and we started the fire, which was very smokey to begin with. Of course, after getting poison ivy sap all over my hands, and not washing them, I immediately had to spread the sap all over my face while rubbing the smoke out of my eyes.
The symptoms didn't show up until Tuesday Night, and we went on Sunday night. But Wednesday was horrible. Yeah. See for yourself.
Tuesday Day 1: Some minor swelling around eyes, and rash beginning on cheeks
Wednesday Day 2: Major Swelling on face, rash continuing from cheeks onto neck, now covering arms, chest, stomach, legs, and face.
Thursday Day 3: Rash continues, swelling begins to subside, but rash runs rampant over entire body. Application of hydrocortizone cream to control itching.
There were other days, but the swelling had pretty much subsided and it was mainly just rashes that were oozing and scabbing at that point, and you probably wouldn't want to see that.
Yeah. It was definately an experience I'd rather not repeat.
Sorry for the graininess of the pictures, they were taken with the camera on my phone, as I did not have the energy to locate the real camera.

| So today was a good day.
I got off work early, the weather was great, and, oh yeah, I almost forgot...
MY REMOTE AND MY POWER STRIP CAME TODAY!!!
Yep. Both of 'em. I'm sitting in Mabee right now, programming it. 'tis fun, 'tis.

| Back from Denver!Yep. I was in Denver. Sorry I didn't notify anyone about it, but it's kinda hard when I have no internet access at home.
I went to Denver to go to CEDIA, a worldwide Electronics conference. It was a lot of fun. (Boy, isn't this sounding like 3rd grade show-and-tell?) It was completely free for me because it was a business trip, which was uber-awesome, because I got paid hourly, and I won some stuff!
Here is the first thing I won:
This is what is called a Wireless AV Reciever. Basically, you put this in a cabinet where you have your Home Theatre Equipment, and if you have a Logitech 890 Remote, you don't need any line of sight to turn stuff on or change channels or nothin'. It's all RF. However, since I don't have a Logitech 890 Remote, I realized that this was completely useless to me (Even though it is worth $150 and I could sell it on Ebay.), so I took it to the Logitech Booth, and explained the situation to the rep who had done the training. He said that he could take the Receiver and give me this:
This is a Logitech Harmony 880, the 890's little brother. It is a force to be reckoned with in the world of Remote controls. Drool over the Full color LCD Screen. Lose yourself in the sheer beauty of its construction.
Needless to say, i was pretty happy. Not only did I get rid of something that was useless to me, but I got a $100 more for free (This remote retails for $250.) Happy Happy Joy Joy!
I also got a couple shirts, and a really nice TrippLite Surge protector. I'm a happy camper.
