      Saturday Stuff

      Saturday, June 7th, 2008

      Damn but it’s hot out there!
      We got up for a run this morning, but honestly should have gone half an hour earlier.  It was fairly cool at the beginning, but stinkin’ hot by the end.
      The desired effect is definitely there.  I’ve lost 12 pounds since we started the running program.  That’s just the kind of [...]

      Fixing Stuff

      Friday, June 6th, 2008

      I got my MacBook repaired the other day.  The top case/keyboard had small cracks in it.  Through a conversation with a customer that runs a Mac store in Ottawa, I learned that this was, in fact a design and material problem, and was covered under warranty.  Fortunately, it turns out that there is an authorized [...]

      The Weekend That Was

      Sunday, June 1st, 2008

      It was a good day today.  We tore apart the office, and made it into our office/library.  There’s nothing cooler to me than a wall FULL of books!  The room looks twice as big now, with the new desk, three massive bookshelves, and there’s even a chair in the corner in which to sit and [...]
