Run, don’t walk to see the Pirates of the Caribbean trailer! OMG I can’t wait!

I’ve been wandering through life for some 36 1/2 years now. I think I had blinders on between 6th grade and age 31. As I have been maturing and growing, meeting new people who open new avenues of life up to me, I have been starting to get to know myself a little better. I… Continue reading Wandering through life

I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year! May 2003 bring you peace and happiness and the strength to deal with the hardships that may come. Last night Mark picked me up and we went to Steve’s place. Mark was kind enough to leave his sis’ dinner, he even picked up Subway. Note: Never… Continue reading Happy New Year!

Had a fun time at Pat’s party – Thanks pat! Frank, Steve and Mark were there, along with Matt and I. We watched Star Warped again, which is a pretty funny claymation spoof on all things sci-fi. “What is a tape recorder, Captain?” Spent the morning shopping with matt for telescope items, now going to… Continue reading Partay!

I spent the weekend with my friends Scott and Jeanie and their two children. I had a great time, despite the air of tension, as Scott’s dad had just come out of heart surgery the week before. Our prayers are with them for a speedy recovery! I got to give Christie many piggy back rides… Continue reading Weekend with friends

On top of a vintage Microvision, Matt also ordered three old baseball games off EBAY, two of which I used to have (I think, one for sure), Entex games, and one Coleco head to head! They came yesterday. I’ll definitely be turning the kitchen into a game museum! The older Entex didn’t work. It is… Continue reading Restoration 101

Merry Christmas and a Happy Holidays to all of my avid readers! I had a wonderful Christmas. I spent xmas eve with the inlaws. That was for a 40th bday party for Marc. Had a lot of fun and got some really cool gifts! My brother made me a couple of DVDs of video from… Continue reading Merry Christmas!

Tonight is the first time TK3 has never been able to run from an immutable directory. I am so excited! This is one aspect of the application that always bothered me. While working on the OS X port, I got a bug up my ass to fix this problem once and for all. It now… Continue reading Whoot!

Did I say “Hunting?” I meant shopping! Close to being done. Went to Disneyland to find a gift but they were sold out! It is only available at the park. Called this morning, they have ONE in the back, and can’t hold it. 🙁 I guess we’re heading out later, so will see what the… Continue reading Christmas Hunting

I saw Two Towers last night with Lia and her new hubby, Brian. Congratulations, guys! I loved the movie. Only one scene I cannot recall in the book, so I’m going to have to investigate that!. Much symbolism abounds – When I moved here 16 months ago, I had two towers of friends here, Lia… Continue reading Two Towers

Kat and I saw Spirited Away tonight. I really, really enjoyed it. I am not sure I understand the symbolism, but we had a good time talking about it. I will have to add it alongside Princess Mononoke….. P.S. Thanks for the calendar, Kat 🙂

I delivered the first working build of TK3/OSX to Night Kitchen tonight. It is buggy and uses too much CPU, but those changes will come in due time. It opens books, plays most annotations but is pretty quick and seems stable. Finally! The monkey is not off the shoulder, but it has changed shoulders for… Continue reading A new era has begun

Well I have 2 gifts down now. Sigh. 🙂 I had another fun date. Anyone who can hit crowded malls with me and not stress out, but rather make it fun is ok in my book! I am still battling the effects of this flu (mainly just poor sleeping patterns and overtiredness) I feel pretty… Continue reading Shopping

I had a blast talking about our iMovie class with Terry tonight. There were a ton of great questions. Mac users are so unique! I reenforced this idea that has been forming in my head that I actually do enjoy teaching, or at least helping others in some fashion. I don’t know what will come… Continue reading That was fun!
