A Case Of The Monday's :: PART 2

These are really random this week, but there's some cool stuff in here...

1. The most effective places to apply perfume or cologne are on the middle of your chest or behind your knees.

2. My new favorite website is Lala.com! It's like iTunes, except that you can listen to entire songs/albums instead of 30 second previews. You can also create a queue which can be set to "shuffle" and has no limit that I know of. (My queue is currently 600+ songs.) You get to listen to full songs one time for free, but you can also purchase a "web version" of the song for 10 cents for unlimited listens. You can also upload your personal music collection, that way all your music is on the Lala website so you can access it from anywhere you have the internet. I'm having a blast listening to old music from high school and random bands that I would never want to own.

3. I know I mentioned this in our contest announcement post, but here it is again! Become a fan of Gehman Photography on Facebook!

4. So you think you want a ride into space? Want to see what Earth looks like from 100km away? Here's your chance! The company Virgin Glactic has created the first commercial spacecraft offering 2.5 hour flights through the Earth's atmosphere and into space where it's 6 passengers can experience weightlessness for 5 minutes. All this for a nominal fee of $200,000 per person. Sounds like a great Christmas gift! Take a look...

5. According to a Rasmussen Poll, 80% of Americans plan to stay home during the holidays this year. That’s up from 77% last year and 60% in 2006. Only 14% plan on hitting the road this season. Surprisingly, only 45% blame their lack of travel plans on the economy.

6. Jodi and I have been loving our new Jotul fireplace! There's something about smoke coming out of the chimney that just makes a house look inviting. Although it is a curious thing that someone would intentionally build a fire in their house. Now the biggest problem I have is going around the house finding drafts, and trying to seal them off.

7. Tiger Woods has stepped away from golf indefinitely. While I will miss watching him, I would like to add my two cents to the situation: No amount of fame, fortune or celebrity will ever fill you, or satisfy. I believe that there is an emptiness in all of us, and that void was intentionally designed by God and placed there so that we would seek Him to fill it. But, more often than not, we try to fill it with other crap that doesn't bring lasting happiness or give us life on the inside. I'll still cheer for Tiger when/if he decides to come back, but more importantly, I pray he finds God and that his family is restored, because when the last cheer is cheered for Tiger, he could be alone in an empty house full of trophies and that would be worse than losing any golf tournament.

8. I finished my Fantasy Football regular season 10-3, and had a first round playoff bye yesterday! The last two years my team was awful, so I'm happy to be this far. The studs for me... DeSean Jackson, Tom Brady, Ray Rice, and Thomas Jones. Lots of high scores from them this year.

9. An office desk has 400 times more bacteria than a toilet.

10. Curvy wooden magnetic photo frames!
These are made from real Bamboo and Walnut wood, comes with magnets and look SWEET! Buy it with one curve, or live dangerously and go for the S-curve! ;)
