I fell asleep around 9:00 PM and now I can't go back to sleep.

Worst shit ever. Happens to me sometimes. I don't even know why I'm up right now.

On the plus side, I got a screener of Drive, so I'm watching it for the first time (missed it in theaters as I was traveling at the time). Damn.
 
I took melatonin and ZMA last night and slept for about four hours. Woke up and tossed and turned the rest of the night.

bahahahaahahhahahahaha....heh..
 
So my phone came today and they sent me the wrong version. I was told I was getting a Sensation XE and I got the normal Sensation instead. I'm kind of pondering whether to send it back or keep it. I'm quite an impatient person though when comes to things like this. I'm not sure I want to go through the hassle of sending it back and waiting for a replacement.

It's pretty much the same hardware anyway. The difference between them is the dual core processor in the XE is clocked at 1.5 where as the normal sensation it is clocked at 1.2. The XE also has a better battery and earphones.

The truth is though, they both have the exact same processor in them. You can clock the normal sensation at 1.5 as well. You could also buy a better battery.

I think for that reason I may just keep it.

As a heavy Android phone user, (I'm on mine now) anything that you can do to prolong the battery, go for it. I would buck up and wait for the superior model

It's not really the superior model though. It has a better battery, but I could probably buy the better battery. There are custom roms out there that basically turns your normal sensation into an XE. It unlocks the CPU, it gives you the extra features, it is practically an XE.

You might want to call just to clear up with Customer Service that the mistake was made, but you are willing to keep the normal phone. You might even be able to get some kind of compensation if there is a price difference between the two, if you play your cards right.

Yeah. Perhaps it is worth calling them up and seeing what they say. I would much prefer a slightly better deal actually.

The CPU in the Sensation is made to run at 1.5. It was originally underclocked.
 
I see through your lies, if you flip the photo around you'll see that it's Davedough who's actually balancing himself on the top of a bottle, not the otherway around.

Cheater.

And I conveniently turned my kitchen completely upside down, complete with fluorescent lights on the floor. =P
 
Poor Beefy.

His inherent failure at winning things increases my Rumble odds by 3%.

I have a solar/AC AA battery pack if I need to charge mine on the go. I tried using those power conserving apps, but it turns out that they're just stability reduction apps on the inside.

You're just pushing the bottle against the ceiling, not balancing it, I bet. :P



I found an excellent tab to learn for my guitar. Weird Al's "You Don't Love Me Anymore" is pretty simple looking but sounds fantastic (part of the reason why I link to it when people ask me for a theme song). With luck, I'll be able to, er, anti-serenade peoples at the next geeky faire/con that I go to. :)

I'm 6'3. My kitchen ceilings are a little lower, but still at 7'6". That bottle isn't that big =P.

I will have you know though, after about 5 takes and equal as many almost smashing that bottle on my kitchen floor, I finally got that shot. lol

Why did you not get somebody to help you? Out of shot of course.

Only person that was home was my 4 year old and I'd rather not have to go into a lengthy explanation to my wife who already thinks I'm crazy.

"Well you see honey, there's this woman on Neogaf... yes... I said woman. Yes, women game. No, I dont like her. What?! No, I'm not having an affair... I wasn't going to get drunk... Yes, I have a bottle but.... NO..."

Sounds like every conversation I have with myself every day.

Then I am impressed. Also, you should get bigger bottles. They store more booze. :D

Mr Dave Dough:"Can you help me fake a picture of me balancing a bottle on my head?"
Mrs Dave Dough: "Why?"
Mr Dave Dough: "Yes."
 
Wow, how did you manage to prop that on your head for that long?

Took 5 times, me with my camera in front of my face, finding that perfect spot and quickly throwing my hand to my side and snapping the picture. I literally almost dropped the bottle so many times and it would have splattered all over my tile. With that shot, the camera snapped as the bottle was toppling... I had to drop my phone to catch the bottle. Good thing for the Otterbox cases. =)
 
God, I feel so drained today. Been working really late lately (had a business meeting/dinner until 9:30-10p last night) and I had to lecture at 8am.
