I went kayaking for a few hours yesterday. Tim is thinking of buying one, so we went to the EMS in Bridgewater and rented a couple for the afternoon, since we had a half day off work. We tried a "recreational" boat, the Acadia 12.5 (feet), and a "light touring", the Tsunami (a 14' boat). The Acadia had a rudder (or "skeg" as the kayak people say, I ( Read more... ) -

If you are a weaver or know a weaver, feel free to direct them here. Or if you just feel like trying it out, and telling me what you think in general, let me know. No printing yet, but that's on the todo list. Along with some fancier editing (cut, copy, paste, for example). -

Gah. Performance review time. I need a list of "shit I've done since last time we did this" ... but the last time we did this was 6 months late; so is it shit since then or shit since when it was supposed to be ( Read more... ) -

Firefox, you are joyous. Microsoft, you who spit loudly on standards, your damned music store won't work with Firefox. Is this some sort of idea to keep people using IE? That's just irritating. I have found my reason to switch over to ITMS for all my musical medlification. I've been a reasonable defender / supporter for a while, not a knee jerk MS ( Read more... ) -

One of my father's favorite books is James Clavell's Shogun. I've been reading it, and I'm about halfway through. It's the story of an English naval pilot that crashes ashore in 1600's Japan and the ensuing political turmoil that follows. There are some interesting crossover points from Neal Stephenson's Baroque trilogy, as the eras overlap, and ( Read more... ) -

Well, the last beach tourney has come and gone. There was a great turn out, 15 teams in the 2B. Tim and I ended up in a pretty tough pool though - third, so we didn't move on to the finals. I think that we could've been in second if we'd been a little more energetic, but the fact that both of us are recovering from flu still is probably a little ( Read more... ) -

Gah.... second summertime flu in less than a month. Is it stress? Why has my immune system gone on vacation, and left me here? I really really really need to be healthy for Saturday; this is the last 2's beach tourney for the summer and I really want to win. But given how wiped out I'm feeling still, it's going to take a miracle to summon enough ( Read more... ) -

I suppose it is a sign of my geek-atude that I happily spent a good deal of the weekend (with some breaks for volleyball and yard destruction) recreationally programming. Learning Java and having a couple projects to muck about in have made coding fun again in a way that hasn't been true since high school. Something about the CS classes I took ( Read more... ) -

Yet more volleyball. A bunch of us went to the Bob Bertucci 3 day volleyball camp for masochists. 3 hours on Friday evening, 3 3 hour sessions through Saturday, and one last 3 hour session Sunday morning. We covered all the basics, had a lot of team play, a lot of drilling. As a person that was never on the volleyball team or ever had formal ( Read more... )
