Sick Day
I got to bed around 6 and woke up, late, around 9. Called Justin and caught him driving into work. When I told him I was going to be late and how I was up for a long while, he told me to go ahead and just call in sick. :) I guess it’s ok….

*yawn*
Got an IM from rypunked, asking me to look over some freelance stuff she was working on. Before long, a few hours had passed by and we ended up going back and forth through things for most of the late evening. The one thing about working with someone else’s code (and, really, anyone else’s code)……
Viddi, Revisited
Started using the Viddi Player at work, and it’s great! There’s so much to explore… My music knowledge is pretty limited. Like I’ve said elsewhere on this blog, I don’t own that many CD’s and tend to obsess over the few things I do listen to. The past few weeks, I’ve started to break out…
Animatrix | Program
The second episode is out. Go download and look at the pretty pictures.
No Correlations
From: JulietSent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 3:01 PM Subject: Search engine + and – Felix, I encountered two search engine events that both made me think of you. The first because it’s very cool and handy, the second because it’s nuts and screwed up. No correlations to your personality are implied here. The first is…
Figured It Out
Why that Bookworm game is so damned addictive. Most games online, they blur by quickly. They’re fast paced and usually the randomization isn’t working as well as it could – essentially, you tire of it quickly. Play the game a few times, and it becomes old hat. Boom, and it’s over. Do that enough, get…
Viddi Player: Internet Radio
This is a link that Grumpy passed along to me. It’s a player that accesses over 750 internet radio stations, all broadcasting ad-free. Looks amazing and I’ll have to check it out at work tomorrow. Very, very interesting.
Birthday Plans May Include Jousting
As we were walking to Justin’s car, I was kicking around a few ideas for what to do on the birthday this coming Sunday. Mainly, I was figuring on a relaxed, quiet evening… maybe just having some drinks with folks at the nearby Artful Dodger pub. Justin mentions Medieval Times, a place I’ve been wanting…
But
I’m not gonna stop writing. :D
Hanging Out at the… uh… Holiday Inn… Yeah.
:D After work, Justin and I decided to do a little study session. Turns out, it was more a read and relax session. We hiked over to the Holiday Inn across the street, and hung out in the lobby. Keep in mind here, the actual hotel is pretty high up in the building, with the…
This Game Was Created by Satan
Alright. It started in this thread at twelvestone. With a thread title called "Don’t Play This Game," of course I’m going to be a good monkey and click on the damn link to see what it’s all about. The game is called Bookworms. Gaah! I spent a good long while last night playing this infernal…
Walking Home
I had a strange experience walking home from work. It had just started to really get snowing, and as I walked back down North Avenue… I didn’t make any attempt to shield my face from the wind or snow. Instead, I ended up sorta holding my head up and occasionally looking skywards. It was cold,…
Thinking of You
Walking down North Avenue, that cornucopia of images, I came across a note taped to a restaurant window and some old, discarded balloons. As I got my camera out, I realized the batteries were moments near death… and then they died on me. I contemplated putting the camera away and just walking to work. I…
Proactive Laziness
So today, we’re supposed to get a ton of snow dropped on us. Supposedly. This morning, I walked out to my car, dusted it off. I drove it all of 20 feet and parked it slightly closer to my front door. Just in case I have to dig it out at some future point. Then…
Hmmm.
Just noticed today’s date on the blog. That’s kinda cool. In addition to it being my mother’s birthday today, I’m incredibly partial to the number three. I’m also really keen on the number nine, as it’s the sum of three plus three plus three. See, if you create a 3×3 matrix, you’ll always get the…
