I'm in full-fledged "winter cold" mode. Runny nose. Headache. Cough. Intermittent scratchy throat. Sneezing...
Speaking of sneezing: Does anyone else sneeze so hard that you feel sharp pains going down your arms, starting in your shoulder? Maybe I'll Google it. Please hold.

The consensus is a pinched nerve somewhere that gets agitated by the sudden head movement of a good sneeze. Good thing. I thought I was having mini heart attacks or something.
I just tried a netti pot. But my nose is so stopped up that the saline bypassed the other nostril and came rushing out of my throat. It felt like I was throwing up.
Nothing like seeing chunks of green and purple coming out of your mouth.
Wait.
What is purple and is residing in my nose? Google?
I jailbroke my iPhone 3G the other day.
You know... that process that will void your warranty and could possibly convert your amazing advancement of technology into a $200 piece of masonry.
(The warranty thing is pretty moot since, if it breaks, you just reset it to its original factory settings before sending it in.)
The only negative consequence of jailbreaking it, so far, is the regret that I didn't do it the day I bought my first iPhone.
Jailbreaking it transforms it from a device that does a lot of cool stuff into a device that works for me. I'm customizing the appearance. I've removed the icons of applications I rarely use (why must I keep a "Contacts" icon when the same information is under my "Phone" icon?). The icons that I hide are still on the phone... you just can't see them.
One aspect of being a graveyard-shift worker is the problem of getting phone calls from family and friends who just can't understand that I sleep til 3:00pm. Every day, I get calls from people who just don't understand my work schedule.
Jailbroken phones have applications that allow you to turn off incoming calls and SMS messages to your own defining. Now, if you call between 8:00 and 3:00, the phone will go straight to voice mail. My phone won't "DING!" when a text message comes in. And it'll hold off voicemail notifications until 3:00 rolls around.
I have an NES emulator so I can play Super Mario Brothers and Mike Tyson's Knock Out!.
Jailbreaking takes about 10 minutes, and it is as simple as running a program and answering a couple of easy questions. If you have an iPhone and haven't jailbroken it, take it from someone who was very suspicious about the process: DO IT!
A very good friend of mine back in the high school days just had a Trisomy 21 baby. Instead of sending a baby shower-type gift -- this is her third child -- I was thinking I'd cook up a huge meal and deliver it to her doorstep.
Is there any particular meal that says, "I'm very happy you had a baby. Even though it had a genetic malfunction, I don't know anybody else who is more suited to care for such a baby,"?
I was thinking I'd make lasagna, but everyone sends over lasagna. I also considered some smashed veg and homemade fried chicken. But I'm afraid they'll warm up the chicken in the microwave, killing it. You have to warm up fried chicken in an oven, but most people won't follow those directions.
Maybe the pork loin braised in apples. That would appease both the adults and her two older (yet young) boys. Plus, it freezes well, which was how I was going to send it so they could enjoy it whenever they wanted. Perhaps some pumpkin muffins for dessert.
Well, that's it for now.

Things to do today:
- Get truck's oil changed, battery checked, and a couple of tires replaced
- Get a hair cut
- Go to school to make a payment
- Find new car insurance
- See if I can link renter's insurance with car insurance to save money
