A Vending Machine for Crows

If you want more details, or can’t view the video, read more about how the vending machine actually works.

When I was living in Winnipeg, my girlfriend’s mom had a crow that used to stalk her walking to the bus each morning, and from the sounds of it, if she’s actually done something to offend the crow, the crow might not let her forget it either.

I knew crows were smart, but I honestly had no clue crows were this smart. I have friends that I don’t think would figure out this vending machine.

Oh, and apparently Magpies can recognize themselves in a mirror, which is potentially even more amazing.

iPhone data usage?

My first full month with an iPhone, so I check to see how much data I’ve used…

Under 100MB. That’s embarrassing.

Why? Well, I spend most of my time with access to wifi, and use it religiously. Still, I’d have expected 500MB or so, I’m constantly reading email and Google Reader while I’m out.

Still, I suppose this isn’t a bad thing.

Eating out

Everyone has a vice, or three. One of mine is eating out.

It’s a combination of laziness, and gluttony. Or it just tastes good.

With Lori out of town, I decided to try and cut back for a couple reasons, financial and health being the top two.

I think I’m doing alright so far. Lori left Saturday evening, so I decided to order pizza since Lori was technically still in town as long as my food arrived before takeoff.

After that, no more eating out.

Sunday I was invited to my parents’ place for dinner, so that doesn’t count.

Monday for lunch, I needed my dad’s help, so I took him out for lunch as a thank-you. So that doesn’t count.

Monday for dinner I had leftovers from lunch, so that one doesn’t count either.

So like I said, not doing too bad.

As I write this, I’m actually cooking food though, off the wagon already. 🙁
