Daily Walk - Long Form
I played a little game of "I bet I know where this road goes" on my walk today, which always means a longer walk. (P.S. I was right.)

Lifehacker comes through yet again
The site Can You Run It? helped me and my son determine that what his ‘puter needs most to run his favorite games better (or at all) is a new video card. More memory wouldn’t hurt, but is a secondary consideration.
Now I just need to do a little shopping and a (fairly routine) installation.

Quick Saturday Morning Check-In
I've got the place to myself this morning, since the boy slept over at a friend's house and the ladies sleep in reasonably late on the weekend instead of getting up at the same ungodly early hour every day like I do. The birds are fairly squawky--I've been whistling a bit from a Live tune and it catches their interest--and occasionally the dog ( Read more... ) -
All Asian, All the Time
So to follow up the Chinese feast we had for dinner last night and the leftover Lo Mein I had for breakfast, the guys and I took advantage of our fallen comrade today (out with his wife, who works as the receptionist on Fridays) and drove up to Byerly's for some lunch sushi.

Tom Morello Still Has My Number
I stole a little time for Guitar Hero 3 last night while the sammiches were cooking . . . I'm now playing on the "Medium" difficulty setting without any real danger of getting booed off the stage, and have completed all the songs at the first two venues. But once again, my nemesis Tom Morello, with his unconventional guitar style and radical ( Read more... ) -
My Right-Hand Tosses Are Actually More Consistent
I've initiated a practice regimen that should lead to juggling four balls, which is really just two with each hand. So for starters, I'm working up to being able to consistently juggle 2 balls in either hand for 100 consecutive throws.
My best of three attempts left-handed today was 43 throws, some of which were fairly wild--I'm pretty good at ( Read more... ) -
Walking in the Dark
With the new moon, a cloudy sky, and a little bit of fog, today's walk was as dark as any I've taken in the last couple of months--and getting an early start could only help.

Well No Wonder . . . I'm Not Subscribed Anymore
I'm doing some serious catching up on "Keith and the Girl", which hasn't been showing up in my iTunes since right around Christmas. Today I took a closer look at my list of podcast subscriptions . . . oops, looks like I inadvertently unsubscribed. So now I've got a backlog of something like 16 hours of the show to listen to.
That should carry me ( Read more... ) -
Friday already?
It hardly seems possible that the weekend is already here again . . . I just had eleven days off before working these last three.
I guess I'll still take it.
Soundtrack from My Morning Walk
It wasn't as cold as it has been, by a good ten degrees at least, and there wasn't any wind to speak of. I was still the only living thing moving outside ( Read more... )
