In the past week or so, I’ve watched a variety of movies. A while back, I watched Kids. Now, I remember hearing years ago (maybe when I was still in high school even?) that this was a disturbing movie. Being into disturbing movies, I thought I’d give it a go. I [...]

This afternoon, I took a break from a bug I’ve been working on for nearly a whole day now to run some afternoon errands.
Recently, I decided that I was going to close my Washington Mutual account. First, it took like 2 weeks for them to open the damn thing. Then they [...]

Also, I did get back home safe and sound. Better yet, there were no delays or snags in my flights back. I got home around 1am and still made it to work this morning. Being Wednesday, it was a long day, but fortunately it’ll be a short week for me, having been [...]

While eating dinner tonight at work, we watched this video on the new Office 2007 UI. If you want to know what I work on, this pretty much explains it. Check it out and learn.

I did get on my flight to Chicago on time and in first class. However, it was about 1.5 hours late which caused me to miss my connection. I then got rebooked onto a 4pm flight that was supposed to get me into Raleigh at 7pm, but I managed to luck out and [...]

On the way, I noticed there was a self-described “Deutschsprachige” (German-speaking for those who are not) UCC church right across from Cal Anderson Park. Anyhow, tonight I remembered I had [...]

On Sunday I met up with various people from work and their wives to play board games. The game we ended up playing was called Robo Rally. Basically, each player programs a robot to perform movements in pursuit of the goal of reaching several flags. However, there’s nothing electronic about the game. [...]

After my last post, I drove up to Best Buy for the now nth time to pick up a working DVD player. I ended up buying one with HDMI out since I now have a TV that supports that. I also searched around the store for a DVI to HDMI converter that would [...]
