Logitech Harmony Universal Remotes
We've the Harmony 880 remote for a few weeks now and I must rave about how much I love it. I always wondered why we were stuck with "universal" remotes that couldn't learn and that were limited by the number of buttons they had on the device. The Harmony line of remotes from Logitech range from B&W displays to color displays. The 880 is what I would consider mid grade and the price point at $200 isn't the cheapest..., but it is GREAT. It not only can control my Dish Network HD PVR, but my DVD player, Panasonic Plasma TV and Harmon Kardon receiver. Now most remotes can control the various devices, but I even get the special "Dish" buttons on my remote. Anything that a hard button wasn't present for I can configure into one of the "soft" keys available from the LCD display on the remote. Very very nice.. Programming the remote is easy as pie.. plugs into your computer via USB and you use an application that is connected to Logitech's website to download the latest programming codes... I have buttons configured such as "Watch Dish" which turns on the TV, sets the right video input, turns on my receiver and selects the right audio input.. all with 1 press.. volume controls the receiver while channel controls control the Dish Network receiver...I am most impressed. The remote also has a learning instruction, which I haven't had to use yet.. read more about the remotes at Logitech's site.. I'm hoping more people buy them to drive the price down...this is one universal remote finally done right.

Are you there God? It's me, Perl
Can you get this thing off me??!? The Baby hates hates hates the cone. But she's on the mend (Thank God!) and has learned to accept food from our hands (instead of only from the bowl). If the food falls into the cone she gets really frustrated and starts growling ... quite entertaining if it wasn't so pathetic!

Alameda County Fair 2006
I enjoy going to the fair to checkout the BBQ type gear and to see the animals and stuff. We went last year and it was great fun. Hoping we make it out again this year. Check out some photos from 2006. Unfortunately, with the theme we're using this doesn't fit so well by default so I hacked the HTML :).
