I started a new job for a startup company called Wilife. I have to say that it is a pretty cool company to be a part of. Their product is a home/small business surveillance system that is inexpensive and really easy to setup. My first task is to learn how to use the product and mess around with it. I’ve just been playing with it all day seeing what it does. You can setup sections of the screen for motion detection and only record when their is motion in a specific region. Right now I have a camera recording me everytime my water bottle moves and another one recording anybody that walks by my office.

The system is really new. It has been 2 weeks since people can purchase the cameras and they’ve sold quite a few with some big orders from Radio Shack and Fry’s coming soon. Check it out here.

I’m done with classes for my last semester of college! Too bad I won’t be getting the police beat anymore from the campus paper. This week was a good one though. Enjoy.

1. Suspects in a white Chevrolet pickup were throwing snowballs at people near Helaman Halls. Officers were able to apprehend the suspects and give them a verbal warning.
2. An officer was dispatched because of several persons dressed only in bikinis in the Quad. They were gone on the officer’s arrival.
3. A male student threw a snowball at another male by the JFS building. He was cited for disorderly conduct.
4. A female student living in off-campus housing received a phone call from a male caller asking her if she would like to answer a few questions. He told her to lie down on the floor and relax. She felt uncomfortable, so she put the phone on the floor. After a while she could hear the man yelling, so she hung up.
5. A student set papers on fire on the bulletin board in W-hall in Deseret Towers. After he lit the papers he yelled “Fire” and left the area.
6. A male visitor was looking up Satanic Web sites in the library. He was asked to leave the premises.
7. Officers were dispatched to the Wilkinson Student Center after it was reported that two males had been shaking vending machines. The officers located the suspects who showed them a signature card transaction of the items they purchased.

The moral of the story is. No snowball throwing, No bikinis, and no shaking vending machines when your purchase doesn’t come out or someone will call the cops on you.

I don’t know if you’ve heard of this book. It is a best seller now and is about how technology and outsourcing has leveled the playing field globally. It is intriguing I was supposed to read it for one of my classes but only got half way through the first chapter. I wrote a paper about it today and was doing some research and found a funny article about a man who truly believes the earth is flat. I don’t believe it for a second but the man has some truly interesting points. He believes the earth is a flat circle with the north pole at the center. So if someone says they’ve flown around the world then they just went in one big circle. He also thinks the moon is about as far away from the surface of this flat earth as the distance from San Francisco to Boston. Read it it is funny.

After twelve weeks of running and fairly good eating habits I lost 9 lbs and 9 inches in my chest, waist, hips, bicep and thigh. I walked/jogged 108 miles

This is the last week of the fitness challenge. You have 4 more days to lose weight and get your miles in. I went for a 5 mile jog today and it nearly killed me. It was freezing cold and I’m not in my peak condition.
