Movies

We’ve had beautiful weather the last week or two… culminating in yesterday’s high of around about 36° which was actually hot… at least, it is when you’re inside with no pool or beach or air conditioning, cleaning a bathroom. Frikkin’ bathrooms. I just feel like placing a can of hospital disinfectant in the middle of… Read more

reddit party

Last Wednesday I went up to the city with F1 & Ross for a party thing reddit was throwing to celebrate their open-sourcing. That I’d never used reddit and was only vaguely aware of what it was didn’t seem any good reason at all to skip free food. ;) I kinda figured it’d be the… Read more

Phoenix Lands

Last Friday (Saturday?), I went out with Erick & Petra, Steve and Alex for lunch (dinner?)… anyway, despite the apparent amnesic qualities of the food, that was all good, and through Alex, whom works at NASA up in Mountain View, I was reminded that the Mars Phoenix Lander was due to touch down on the… Read more
