Earthquake!

We just had an earthquake. Not a damaging one, but enough to shake the room, rattle blinds, knock [precariously placed] stuff off shelves, etc. It certainly gets the heart going a bit, though… now I get to sit here and wonder if that was just the precursor to something bigger, or not… And already there’s… Read more

Hills circuit finally complete

Today I finally did the circuit ride through the western hills that I’ve been eyeing for ages now. It turned out to be harder than expected, largely because the ~2km of Redwood Gulch Road in the middle is insanely steep, the entire way. I walked that entire bit… I was already tired from just getting… Read more

Better late than never, right? :) There’s a few glitches running it in Classic, but luckily none that interfere with the gameplay once you get into it.… Read more

These airplanes are known for travelling vaguely over the Pacific at times, and may indeed be landing in Melbourne. 😄 To be less annoyingly vague, I’ll be flying out… Read more

Halo 3

So today was all about Halo 3. I went and grabbed breakfast/lunch with Ross (Chipolte’s on De Anza), and he finally decided then that he was going to get the 360 and Halo 3. I offered to buy the game itself and a second controller, to sweeten the deal. It’s funny that we went to… Read more
