Gas is not just 4/gallon... well above...
That’s right, with a weekend trip up to San Francisco, I have now seen gas prices well above the $4.00 / gallon mark… no good… no good. Thanks to Sean and his phone for the picture! [read more]

The Mystery of the Badge
No matter what I do, my ID badge that I wear attached to my belt will always turn around so that the back of the badge is facing out and the picture side is facing towards me… You know those little hooks that have the spring loaded string so that your badge can be moved away from your body? Well, yeah, I have one of those and it does not cooperate. I have tried everything,... [read more]

The importance of being busier than you
Isn’t it funny how we compare ourselves for self-satisfaction or maybe competition with others. During a busy week at school, you can hear any kid (myself included) going up and down the halls to and from classes complaining to friends and acquaintances alike, “I was so busy last night, you have no idea.” The last part, an unneeded appendage to the complete substance of the sentence, you have no idea, says it all. It says... [read more]

Hello from California
Dear Readers, I am finally in California. The drive was very long, but an enjoyable one. Once arriving in the Cupertino/Sunnyvale area, the apartment search didn’t seem to go as smoothly as hoped at first, but in the end, I think things have worked out very nicely. I have a new apartment in Sunnyvale that is in a gorgeous complex with a heated swimming pool, tennis court, sand volleyball court, club house and everything. I... [read more]

Arrested Development
Due to some persistent nagging of some friends, I have started working my way through the show Arrested Development. I’m pretty sure the show has been finished for a few years, but according to the guys, its a must see. I am about six episodes into the first season and enjoying it. The best way to describe it is… its like a bedtime story, a really strange and dysfunctional bedtime story. I like it! The... [read more]

Birds
Birds have started to take over our house… It started last night when I was sitting up on the couch working with Mandy on one of her Java programming projects. Sean comes up and says that he thinks we have an animal in our water heater. I head down to the basement, and sure enough, in the steam tube on top of the water heater we hear some scratching noises. All of a sudden, out... [read more]

Someone is trying to be me

For the first 3 or so weeks of the quarter I sat in the same class for each class. Second row/left side/furthest seat left for Network Programming and Fourth row/right side/furthest seat to the right for Wireless and Mobile Networking. And it was good.... [read more]
