Bike fixed and broken again

Thursday before last I finally got my bike back. No fault of theirs – it was probably fixed weeks ago – I just hadn’t been able to get to the bike store during their open hours. Anyway, they’d even managed to find a hanger for the derailer, so that was fixed as well. Cool. :)… Read more

810 photos to go

I am working slowly through my New Zealand photos, believe it or not. Only 810 to go, now… sooo many. And the scenic ones sometimes take ages, because I have to spend all evening in Google Earth trying to figure out what the heck I’ve photographed. I’ve been mostly successful thus far, though, and it… Read more

You win some, you lose some

Today I did very little. Read a bit of Mac OS X Internals, which I bought earlier in the week – finally; I’d had my eye on it for a year or so – and played some games, and whatnot. I was trying to motivate myself to keep going through my New Zealand photos and… Read more

It’s a surprisingly quick drive, given it’s highway all the way, but when we got into Vallejo at around 11:30am or so, we were greeted by our first queue of the day – the queue to… Read more

Monterey Bay Aquarium

On Saturday I went down the Monterey Bay Aquarium with Gus, Julian, Ashley and Renaud. Gus had suggested the trip a week or two earlier, and I’d vaguely heard of the aquarium, so I figured it might be cool. Plus, it was a way to get out and about for once. All in all, I… Read more

Movies, my life is apparently nothing but movies

I grabbed “The Brothers Grimm” & “Fun with Dick & Jane” from Netflix early last week. I’d been trying to see The Brothers Grimm for ages – I’d missed it in the cinemas, despite my best efforts, and just hadn’t seen it around or been suitably inclined to find it. So it was rather disappointing… Read more
