Game two was a bit more eventful for me. I was able to stick it out to the end, and won a few key hands that helped me maintain a healthy lead (although Eric and I were going back and forth a bit, towards the end there). This is a shot of the final hand. Eric had a Jack and,…
Damn. I can’t believe it’s almost been two months since we last got an official game going. Trying to coordinate everyone’s schedule is always tough, but a few of us were able to squeeze in a night before the holidays officially roll in. Left to right it’s Chris, Ben.Trentand Eric. I think Mike and Justin are off somewhere, possibly getting…
From: RockyTo: FelixSubject: Strong House Hey there Felix, Just doing a bit of catching up with your blog, and I wanted to chime in on the “strong house.” I recently moved out of the townhouse in the background of the 12/10/04 pic. We called the strong house the “garbage house,” as the entire structure was filled with junk. In between…
There aren’t that many things that change, drastically, in my daily walk from home to work. But this caught my eye today. Electronic parking meters – first ones I’ve seen. This sign is posted near the actual machine itself There are signs at several intervals, all of which have arrows that point back to the centrally located machine. It may…
Ended up talking a while tonight with Clare (who I first met at Alex and Linda’s wedding). Fun conversations, and we got caught up a bit. Halfway through our talking, another IM window opened up, and I met one of Clare’s friends, Albie. She and I talked for a while (books, blogging and Monty Python). It was fun chatting with…
I like how these stickers are getting closer and closer to my house. It still amazes me sometimes that I first started seeing these stickers over 2 years ago.
Alain Robert: he’s climbed over 70 skyscrapers, to say nothing of the cliffs. He’s fractured both forearms, fractured his pelvis, fractured his nose, and suffers vertigo due to a fall. Uhm, yeah. Let’s see… Today, I did some laundry. And uh… took out the trash.
Philip K. Dick fans… this is your screensaver. When your computer goes to sleep (screensaver mode), it joins other computers to create a new “sheep” (a fractal flame). There is a new sheep born every 15 minutes, and the overall group of sheep constantly changes. You can vote for or against various sheep that you see on your screen, thus…
A really interesting series of character studies, by Michael Paulus. Hello Kitty finds its way into art a lot, it seems.
Travelled out to the suburbs with Chris and Justin, for Rey’s family Christmas party. Got to break out the camera a bit but, partly due to its newness and partly due to my shyness… I didn’t take all that many photos. I knew a handful of work folks at the party, but walking around taking shots of strangers made me…
Hung out with the boys again, and we played a crapton of poker. Three games, in fact. We started around 8PM and I ended up leaving somewhere around 1:30AM. Good stuff, and loads of fun. Will threw down an impressive amount of beer. I got to meet the infamous upstairs neighbors. Hung out in the stairwell with Will, and talked…
In the time that I was without a camera, they did a lot of work here.
