The Current put me on the guest list yet again. This time for Le Tigre at First Avenue. Fun show. I've been to First Ave a million times and I can't say I've ever seen a crowd quite like this.

Garrett parked at a meter today that had a small sign attached to it that said it was for taxis only after 6pm. Even on Sundays, apparently. Return to the car to find it gone. At this point he is already late getting home.

I drive him to the impound lot to find he has a fine and a large tow charge. What a fucking pain in the ass.

Joe, Matt, Bill and I took Ben Harper's new VW Jetta downtown to see Rob Dewey and Green at the Times Bar and Cafe. Met up with Brian, Ian, Paul, John and a couple of Brian's friends as well. Great show.

Yahtzee and Sparks... and a Bonfire and Fireworks. With Sarah, Mike, Joe, Matt, Jenny, Boris, Tim, Meredith, Drew, Pat and a few others. Joe found this awesome paper bag! I got the lowest score at Yahtzee.

Today they sniffed my feet, and then I played the guitar for them. Gave them a bit of fresh air too.
Tinkering with Progressive TripSense

I decided to take Progressive Insurance up on their offer of a minimum of 5% off of my insurance by trying their TripSense program. The device arrived with some expensive packaging and I had no problems getting it working. It essentially sits on your car's OBDII port and records how you drive. When you want to look at your data and send it to Progressive, you plug it in your USB port and have their software parse the data and shoot it off.

After a bit of research I found that the device is made by Davis Instruments and they even have CarChip Software and a CarChip SDK available at their website. It works perfectly with the device I got from Progressive. It gives you almost complete control of the chip.

I've already tried hacking the thing. It seems like they were anticipating people like me and I cannot easily change the on board thresholds on the device that define "Extreme Acceleration," "Extreme Braking," and the speed bands without getting errors.

The log files that both the CarChip software and the Progressive software generate are identical, so I should be able to see if I screw something up.

Finally, another interesting thing about this device I found: it only records the latest activities. If you fill the small amount of memory on the device, it will delete the oldest log. Basically, I could drive like shit until the last 300 driving hours before I need to submit and start driving like an angel.

Playing a freeroll with Riverush Poker. I got first place on the loser's table. This means I am a Number One Loser. (And I get a T-Shirt)
