I got a cookie during 2011 National Volunteer Week for turning in volunteer hours in 2010. Woot! (Thanks to Nick for delivering the cookies to everyone.)

High Tech Dental
Posted on April 6, 2011 by Brian under Life.
So, have I told you how cool our new dentist is. They have one of the most high tech facilities that I have ever seen.
Last Saturday I had to get a new crown put on one of my teeth. In the past it was a long process where I hade to get an impression, have a temp put on, wait two weeks while it was sent out and made then come back and have the new one put on. Not this time.
Here is a video of my tooth being made.
Here is what it looked like after, before they stuffed it in my head.
And the days of those tacky dental impressions are in the past. They have digital imagery that does most of the work for you. This machine was the coolest. They had to spray a powder on your teeth that is the same stuff they print on M&M’s. Then they take a little camera and take a few pictures. Once they have all of the images, the computer finds the best match out of over 4000 possibilities. Then it provides a number and that tells you what porcelain blank to put into the machine. Then, 12 minutes later, you have a tooth.
All-in-all, I would say that my experience was awesome. I have to go back next month for a few filling replacements. Hopefully it will be just as rewarding.

Olivia Munn
Posted on April 6, 2011 by Ching under Life.
Brian was super excited when he checked the mail yesterday because one of his celeb crushes, Olivia Munn, was on the cover of Maxim. He actually tried to peel off the white address box. Much to his disappointment, it wasn’t a sticker. The white box was actually part of the page. LOL.

Brian and Ching Circa 2000
Posted on March 30, 2011 by Ching under Life.
This is a photo of Brian and me from over a decade ago. Can you believe it’s been that long? How time flies!
Incidentally, this photo was taken at Sumo back when they were over at North Rock Road. We used to go there all the time back then because we lived in a townhouse across the street. This photo was taken on October 23, 2000 when we all went out to dinner there to celebrate my 23rd birthday. đŸ™‚

Best Deal Ever!
Posted on March 28, 2011 by Brian under Life.
I decided to take advantage of Best Buys new Trade In program by taking some of my PS3 games that I have finished and seeing what I could get. I did the research before hand so I knew approximately what I would be getting. When I got there they took my games and started typing everything in. I had to correct the girl a few times because she was giving me the price for titles that were the first run and n0t the sequel. For example, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare instead of Modern Warfare 2. So after I corrected her and got everything set and she told me that I had a total of $117.00, $7.00 more than I calculated. After I got the card and received the receipt showing me the totals for everything, I realised that she entered the wrong title and it worked to my advantage. I turned in Gran Turismo 5 Prologue and she gave me the price for Gran Turismo 5. It should have been $6.00 but instead I got $25.00, score me!
So I took my money and got Dead Rising 2 and Homefront, 2 games that I had been looking at. The total was $118.01, I had to pay $1.01 out of my own pocket for 2 brand new games. The best part, All of the games that I turned in were all used from Game Stop, I didn’t pay full price for any of them.
Best Buy has the best Trade In program ever!
