Cable
I was excited for Six Feet Under to end yesterday. Not just because it was a good series and all that, but also because I had decided to kick Comcast to the curb for WOW (no, not that WoW). I had seen one of their vans in my apartment complex and figured that they were available. Sure enough, I typed my ZIP into the website and found out that I ( Read more... ) -
Summer sickness
I'm sick, but what's weird is that it came on really suddenly. I was playing Xbox and all of the sudden I realized my throat hurt, my muscles were sore, my nose was runny and I was warm. You know, sick. It hadn't been like that a half hour earlier. I was exposed to sick people on Thursday and Friday, so I imagine the bug has been in my body ( Read more... ) -
Things to do in CA?
It looks like echolex and I will be on vacation in California for the first week in September, what should we see/do? We're primarily going to be in N. CA around San Jose, San Francisco and San Cramento, but may head south to the greater LA metropolitan area.

Music meme
I normally ignore memes, but when Ben Tesch calls, I answer.
Total volume of music on my computer
3 songs, 31.9 minutes, 33.2 MB. All of which were linked on the MetaFilter right now in my post about the Simpsons and this post about live mashups. 2 songs, I guess, since one of those is an episode of the Simpsons.
Yup. Only 3 songs on my ( Read more... ) -
School's out
So I've posted a few friends-only posts about this earlier, but it's now my last day at work. Exciting stuff, Chris even got me a moleskine as a going away gift. I can see why people fetishize them, I'm kind of afraid to write in it because I don't have anything elegant enough to say. I'm sure I can figure out some stuff from the 43 Folders ( Read more... ) -
License plate parsing
I saw this license plate on the road the other day and could not parse it. What hidden message does it contain?
