In case you were wondering
I weigh 210 pounds on Earth, 79.3 pounds on Mercury, 190.4 pounds on Venus, 34.8 pounds on our moon, 79.1 pounds on Mars, 496.4 pounds on Jupiter, 192.3 pounds on Saturn, 186.6 pounds on Uranus, 236.2 pounds on Neptune, and a measly 14 pounds on Pluto.
Next time someone asks me how much I weigh, I’m going to tell them I fluctuate anywhere between 14 and 496 pounds depending on the day. Oh yeah, and what planet I’m on.
How much do you weigh?

Just when I thought that I was out
they pull me back in!
World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade is out and I’ll be purchasing a copy today at lunch. What’s great about this expansion is that it virtually makes all level sixties even again, whether they’re decked out in tier 3’s or still wearing greens. Since I’m only a casual player, this is great news for me.
I loathe 40 man raids…

Apple’s new mobile phone
Apple finally revealed their new mobile phone. Head over to Engadget to see pictures and more live coverage.
The phone is absolutely gorgeous. It runs OS X and has a 3.5″ widescreen / touchscreen (only one actual button). It plays music, movies, and TV shows, and integrates seamlessly with iLife. I’m excited and I’m not even a phone guy.
Oh, and it has wi-fi and bluetooth capabilities. Wow…
***edit***
Apple partnered with Cingular (now AT&T)
$499 for a 4Gb
$599 for an 8Gb

Joe’s Goals dot com
joesgoals.com is website that allows you to create your own to do lists for anything you can think of. It’s a very simple, yet surprisingly useful little web app. Since this is the season for New Year’s resolutions, I thought I’d share this tool with you.
The website isn’t the most pleasing website to look at, but don’t let that deter you from trying it out. It’s well worth a look.
There’s tagging, tracking reports, logs, all sorts of goodies.

Join two Ventrilo servers simultaneously
A friend of mine showed me this simple little trick that allows you to log in to two Ventrilo servers simultaneously. I thought this could come in handy from time to time. Here’s what to do.
click on the pictures to enlarge
First, locate your Ventrilo short cut.
Next, right click on the shortcut and choose properties.
You will see a dialog box show up like the one below.
Add the switch -m after the last quote as shown below. Click Apply and then click OK to close the dialog box.
You can now launch multiple instances of Ventrilo by clicking on the shortcut as many times as you wish.
The last step is to make sure you bind a Hotkey (push to talk key) for each instance of Ventrilo that is open. See the two images below.
and
Voila, you can now hang out on two (or more) Ventrilo servers at the same time.
You’re probably not going to want to do this a lot because it can get kind of crazy trying to keep track of who’s saying what and from where. It’s definitely a nice little addition to anyone’s bag of tricks though.
Speaking of Ventrilo, Zen Geeks just launched its very own Ventrilo server. It’s a members only server, but membership is free so it’s essentially a public server. Stop by the forums for more information.
