I have a lava-light lightning bolt lamp on my computer desk, and I turn it on at night when I’m sitting here in my room. It’s random blue glow is soothing and provides just enough light.
Did part one of a trade with my acupuncturist yesterday – she’ll work on me next week. After that, I went and saw the new Star Trek movie with Jason. It’s a new imagining of their origins, and it works. I love Zachary Quinto (Sylar from “Heroes”) as Spock, and the rest of the cast is very good, too. Lots of spicy action and lurid danger to keep things moving along and great visuals and sound to immerse one in the experience. Recommended.
After that, I had my evening client, and came home to have supper. Does anyone else have one of these? It’s a fifteen foot long electrical cord with a pass-through plug on one end and a switch on the other. It’s essentially a remote control switch for a lamp or other electrical applicance. I had forgotten I had one until I was looking at my bookshelf last night and saw it. Suddenly, I can control one of my floor lamps in my bedroom while I’m 8 feet off the ground in bed. Hooray for reading in bed again!
This morning I headed down to the Apple store on Stockton at Ellis downtown to have them look at my phone. The volume rocker switch came off and I wanted to see how much it would cost to repair. Turns out that my one-year warranty is still in effect and they just gave me a new phone on the spot. While I was sitting there, the iPhone Genius noticed that the rubber on one of my earbuds is coming detached, and he said, “while you’re here, let me exchange those for you, too.” So it’s suddenly like having a brand new phone again! That’s the kind of customer service experience I like!
