What I did at Work Today
So, today I made this for my job, so we could post it on YouTube.
Now, to be fair, I was cursed with using Windows Movie Maker, which not only has only 1 track for videos, but plays out of sync in the timeline unless you play from the very beginning! Top it all off with the inability to crop videos, and I hope you're realizing it's a miracle it ( Read more... ) -
Kingston Classic Completed!
About an hour ago, I finished my first race, the Kingston Classic 10k run. My pace was an average of 9:03 per mile, making my finish 56:09. Huzzah! Next race in the Grand Prix is in June! Time to work towards a better time! Also, anyone interested in joining me for that, I'd love to train with anyone who wants to ( Read more... ) -
On My Own Again
So tonight at our annual Goyish Passover Satir, James informed me that he's planning to move to Albany once we move out. With Kris determined to buy a house with Apples, that leaves me on my own for the first time since we moved out. This should be interesting. When I first moved out, I was getting a place with Tim, and we both moved into the Geek ( Read more... ) -
16 Hours Until the Kingston Classic 10k (My First Race)
So I just got back from a 5 mile run, gearing myself up for the Kingston Classic 10k. This is my first race, and I'm not looking for a record time or placement, so much as I'm looking to finish in the first place. A 10k is about 6.2 miles, and while I've run more than that, my routes always involve lots of hills, so we'll see how it is to run on a ( Read more... ) -
Hunger vs. Temperature
So I'm sitting here watching BBC's News Night, their version of late-night news programs. Their feature story tonight has to do with the rappidly rising cost of food. Due to both Australian drought(Australia is a major wheat producer) and the rise in bio-fuel used to combat global warming. With some countries set to double their use of bio-desel in ( Read more... ) -
Poor Scientific Process Strikes Again - Chemical BPA in our Plastics
So every morning since I got my new Blackberry, I roll over to hit my alarm and then pick up my Blackberry to check out Reuters. After reading about the SOuth Korean Astronaught, and some bullshit about Clinton and Obama's bickerings, I came to an article about recalling baby bottles. Because I was feeling no motivation to get out of bed, I decided ( Read more... ) -
A Bad Moon makes for a Mixed Week
So I was talking to my Sifu and friends at our I Liq Chuan class last night, and it seems to have been a bad week for a lot of people this past week. Mine personally has been very mixed, but not all bad ( Read more... ) -
The Geek House Closes? -or- ¿Compters the Next Victims in the Housing Cresis?
So either way you shake it, The 5 year run of Chez Geek may be nearing an end. The Kingston residence of 9 different local Geeks over the past 5 years is not only in foreclosure but also in threat of being condemned. After 3 different attempts of selling the house, Alan's lack of maintenance finally caught up with him. While we do not have the ( Read more... ) -
Life Continues
So here I am, back to my sporadic posts. I was just going back through some of my posts over the last few months, and realized how much I miss posting, and thinking about things. This year, learning about Chris Dodd really inspired me to get involved again, but after he fell out of the news, and the primaries died down, I've gotten back to lazy old ( Read more... )
