Was a beautiful day this morning on my drive to work.. Blue skies, sun shining. Had to take a picture so I can remember it as the winter starts to hit.

Yes, another Woot purchase. This one is sub-par though. Whoever wrote the install for the software needs to call support and get it fixed. When it asked if I wanted to associate "Video files" with the Home Theater software I said not a chance. So instead it wiped out the current file extensions that were registered. And when trying to watch tv it would freeze and the led would turn red. I had to unplug it and plug it back in to get it working again. Oh, and sound quality was not so good. Lots of random crackling every few minutes. Although it might do the job for the amount of live tv I watch. We'll see after I do some more troubleshooting....

Sleeping in on another Saturday with Gabby. I was wondering where Bunki was and then heard a thump as she jumped down from the top of the closet. Still not sure how she gets all the way up there.

It's not a true blog without a bunch of pictures of your cats. Meow.

A few pictures from the drive home yesterday. It was pouring down rain but cleared up for the most part as I pulled in at home. Also saw and incredible full arc, double rainbow, with one being exceptionally bright.

Yes, those are my windshield wipers going as fast as they can.

Went to Gameworks for a release party today. Spent most of the time playing pinball, but found the DDR machine. It was apparently out of order. Hopefully it's because they're waiting to install the flamethrowers. :)

Mmmm blue-green algae.

What are these two doing in my hood? Hehe Sleebs ordered a saganaki (aka flaming cheese) Unfortunately I missed the fire picture.

I'm finally getting around to tackling the pile of stuff that was just dumped onthe dining room floor after Burning Man. My brand new sandals were a friendly reminder of how much dust was out there. Before and after comparison of cleaning...

Lissen up here kids... back in my day we didn't have no fancy iTunes or Windows Media Player. We didn't even have mp3s back in that day. I used to download 100meg wav files on a 14.4 connection just to hear rare b-sides from my favorite bands. And you were lucky to download it all without your sister picking up the phone and killing the connection. There was no download resume either! We had no eye candy to react to our music, but we made do with Acid Warp. Hours upon hours were spent in a dark room, eyes glued to this simple yet entrancing DOS program. Yeah, those were the days....

Ok, so I cheated and spent some more of the bonus on a new monitor. Hey, it's better than hauling 3 huge CRTs cross-country! And it was on sale. Amazing how much deskspace it frees up.
