Yesterday geekpdx and I went to a board game party put on my my old CS prof, mainly for CS majors.  We played Puerto Rico, a tiny bit of DDR, and ate Chinese food while listing to people discuss creating a portal in Second Life to let the hordes of orcs from WOW in.  Then we came home, I did a bit of Operating Systems homework, and then geekpdx ( Read more... )

I'm considering signing up to do the Jingle Bell 5K run in December. I currently jog about 2.5 miles (about 4K) fairly regularly on the treadmill, so I figure I should be able to work my way up to 5K with moderate hills by December.
