Doing some much needed catch up with Full Circle Magazine.

Nice! My email just won the Japanese lottery. Now if only *I* could win the Japanese lottery, I'd be rolling in the Yen.

Drinking a glass of red wine, listening to The Darkness , tapping out Java code and trying my hardest to be awesome. I feel good :)

Bwahaha! Drawing familiarity to "The little old lady on the phone who tells her life story to a telemarketer." Getting back to work now ^_^

@1889ca You are very welcome. And anyone listening in the TorrentSphere, follow this link and be entertained. http://1889.ca/

Hoping that the Nintendo DS drops in price now that the DSi is out. I'd buy another DS for around $100.

w00t w00t! We're presenting the North Okanagan Linux Users' Group publicly in April.

Huh. First time I've come across GoDaddy's advertised 1% downtime. How inconvenient.

Dear Sun Microsystems. Thank you for starting a contest and then making the programming language available on all OS' except the one I use.

Trying to watch Jupiter Broadcasting's "Cross Development Programming" videos in my living room. Then three very talkative girls walk in.

Crossing my fingers that I'll be showing off at next year's GDC.

Making coffee so strong that everyone in the office will get the jitters, whether they like it or not, simply by breathing it in. Muahaha.

Cracking open BLT (Bash Loves Twitter) to try to get it to work.

Rawking XBMC. Who doesn't love controlling their PC from the couch with a remote?

Received a bigger tax return than what I filed it as. There's got be a number to call to see if it's really mine.

Kicking it with Lovecraft in "The Dunwich Horror". Been loving H.P. lately.

I want to see a remake of the original Power Rangers movie. Heck, I'd love to see a "Power Rangers: Reimagined". You know you want to...

How awesome would it be to have white facial (and head) hair at 25? I just found two white beard hairs on my face.

Multitasking. Trying to bring down my 1.2 days worth of unlistened podcasts. Messing with nolug.ca, too.

Telling my office-mates about my "artemia salina" aka brine shrimp aka sea monkeys. Feeling like a big dork because they just don't get it.

NOM'ing on a bag of Licorice Allsorts Minis. Dispensing codification through my fingertips.

Enlisting the Scrubbing Bubbles Army of Doom to kick that bathtub soap-scum into outer space.

Once again Canada gets the shaft. Still no Amazon MP3 store in Canada. Incredibad for $1.99? http://ping.fm/wXjnq

Unfortunately, no midnight showing of The Watchmen here. I know my boss would understand if I slogged into work tomorrow.

Kickin' it with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Heh. Hot Topic at work today is Facebook trying to emulate Twitter. Hello, Facebook? How do think I'm updating my status this very moment?

Nifty-do! Unreal Tournament 3 free-play weekend on Steam. Starting now.

Thinking that since the snow/ice is almost gone that it might be nice to rejoin the UBC-O Aikikai Society.
