Tournament
It's been a hard year for my volleyball scumdogs. Even with recruiting three new players, our team's had numerous injuries. Most of our wins came early in the season when we were healthy and other teams struggled to get going. We got a record 16 wins by forfeit and skyrocketed into first place. Then the other teams gained on us, and just last ( Read more... ) -
Parkour Notes
On Tuesday I left work early and drove down to the Parkour gym. I've got 10 passes. Let's burn one before I forget everything from my intro class ( Read more... ) -
Fire and Ice
We're buried in at least 20 inches of snow. The news is saying that for some places this is the biggest snow storm of the last 100 years. And yet I managed to start a fire tonight totally by accident ( Read more... ) -
Listening In
Yesterday I went to an HDF5 workshop at 9 AM. For those of you that aren't familiar with HDF5, it's just a file type to store a bunch of data. I've worked with HDF in some form since 2000, and one of my current projects requires me to read and write in this format ( Read more... ) -

Clean Up, Aisle 6

My last plant was ten years ago. My aunt bought me this fern thing. After a few months I took it to my parents to watch it, and they've been stuck with it ever since ( Read more... ) -

One of the friends brought the other two of us for mutual December birthdays. It's my first visit to a theme park in years. They had spinning tea cups, tilt-a-whirls, carousels, a ski lift, and an indoor roller ( Read more... ) -
Run Through The Corn
Ha. The local Popeye's chicken is playing an instrumental tune on a saxophone or horn. Where have I heard this tune? Oh, oh yeah. Heh. I'm laughing my head off. People think I'm nuts ( Read more... ) -
Just Fine
Two years ago, I got my new car at the dealership. My old white brick broke it's hood release, and I was in a race against time to get it to the mechanic before it ran out of coolant. Ever since then, my new car's been awesome. I mean, sure, the clutch gave out while driving a DC highway in rush hour, and the dealership went out of business ( Read more... ) -

Alright! August is over! I'm at Reagan airport, waiting for my flight to Chicago. I've got plenty of time to think about my latest stories. This has been a special month ( Read more... )
