Every Friday, Staying Awake

Bought some new bathroom scales, the other day.

Seemed like a good idea.
Some nice digital scales with Bluetooth and all manner of extra details, like BMI, body fat, visceral fat and more.
£27.99 on Amazon (1byone)

Except there are two slight issues.
Issue 1 is that I don't have a fucking clue what half the stats are, or what values they should be to be considered as "good"..

The second issue, however, is that depending on what surface I place the scales onto, I can be either 7.6st, 10.10st or 12.8st.
(In stones.pounds, because I'm British, and having my weight in kilos is fucking bizarre!)

So, I'm not entirely sure what to do.
Seems I'm heaviest in the bathroom, and lightest on the upstairs landing.

I'm going to have to dig out the old scales and figure out which is the most accurate, (fairly sure I should be 10.10) then leave the scales there in future. Unless I can reset the scales or something. Not sure.
I'll look into it.

In the meantime, I'll continue to weigh myself on the landing, where I'm lightest!!

I never used it, myself, but PalmOS seems to have been a lost treasure, as far as OSes go.

Tonight's the night!
At 4am (ffs) GMT, Nintendo will be doing a live presentation from Japan. Where we'll be learning all the ins and outs (hopefully) of the upcoming Nintendo Switch.
Are you as excited as I am?
..
NO, YOU ARE NOT, BECAUSE I AM VERY VERY EXCITED!!!

I'm not sure why I'm as excited about this as I am, but the idea of blending home and handheld consoles seems like a wonderful idea for Nintendo.

It'll be nice to see if there are any surprises along the way.
Seems to be a lot of people getting over-excited by that VR Patent that was discovered a few weeks ago.

Guess we'll find out, soon enough.
Will you be staying up, or waking up early?
I'm not sure which I'll be doing, but I'm too excited to do neither!!
