Leah Ramsdell and Josh Heitzman’s Blog

Well, it’s Saturday night and I’m having a great time back in Redmond!  I’ve played Bunko with a house full of ladies I didn’t know (except for Chelsea), played trampoline/crash test dummy/professional wrestler with cousin Reed and gotten peed on twice (by Felan).  Illaria and I have been reading some great bedtime stories and discussing makeup techniques and tools.  So far, it’s been a very full 2 days!  Tomorrow a party is being thrown in honor of my gracious presence and I’m really wishing I’d been smart enough to bring a friggin’ camera.  Here’s hoping my shutterbug friends will cover for me!

Just dropped Leah off at the airport. She’s heading back to King County, WA to visit with friends. Perhaps she’ll put up a blog post while she’s there.

Been watching for 110 for a while now and just saw 110.1 degrees. Various weather sites have shown our zip code to have been over 110 a number of times already, but it doesn’t count until I see the reading from my always shaded sensor that isn’t over blacktop or near an A/C exhaust vent.

Well, we’ve had our Roku for a few weeks now and its excellent being able to instantly get movies and TV series from Netflix.  Picture quality is similar to cable TV.  The compression artifacts are quite noticeable on black scenes, but I don’t notice them otherwise.  Netflix also seems to be pretty rapidly expanding their instant view offerings although there are few weird things like a few episodes missing from a season of a TV show.  Currently media available on instant view is almost all older stuff, although the first season of new Doctor Who series is available, so we were able to catch up on that.  Heroes is also on there although I don’t know how many seasons.

Just noticed the outside temperature was 102.3 degrees. I haven’t seen a triple digit temperature since a decade ago when we were still living in Wisconsin.

This should amuse you if you are a fan of sci-fi:

On the way to the gym I happened to notice the temperature had hit 90 degrees for the first time this year (that I noticed anyway).

Just ran across the Leningrad Cowboys & Red Army Choir - SWEET HOME ALABAMA and thought it was post worthy.

We’ve had several days where the temperature was up to 80 or higher here in Vegas. We heard through the grapevine today that the folks back up in Redmond were getting snowed on, so today seemed like a good day to mention the weather here

Leah thought my work related posts were to long and pushed off the personal posts to much, so I’ve created an impersonal blog just my work related posts.

My work related posts here have been replicated there and will soon be removed from here.
