• A little work on the reading website

    23 Mar 2006 » 1 min read about Productivity & Tools

    I did a little work on the reading website tonight, but nothing published publically yet. I’m working on two new features. One shows a list of future books that I’ll be reading. The other shows estimated completion dates for current and future books, as well as progress on the current book. I’m also thinking about…

  • My new cell phone

    22 Mar 2006 » 1 min read

    My new cell phone was delivered this afternoon and it’s a pretty cool little gadget. It’s a Motorala RAZR. It’s very thin but has a very good display. I got it mainly for the BlueTooth and Speakerphone, both of which I have already made use. I have my phone book now synced to my Mac…

  • Into work and then back home

    22 Mar 2006 » 1 min read about Work & Career

    I got up and went into work as usual this morning. Just before 9 AM, I figured I’d check on the status of a package I was expected to be delivered later this week. I hadn’t heard anything on it, and when I last checked, it hadn’t even shipped yet. However, when I checked this…

  • Spam of the week

    22 Mar 2006 » 3 min read

    I was forwarded the results of an NBC “poll” this week about whether or not the words “In God We Trust” and “God” belonged in the Pledge of Allegiance. The indigant author of the spam pointed out that NBC had the highest number of responses that they’ve ever had to a poll, with results as…

  • Season tickets are here

    22 Mar 2006 » 1 min read about Sports

    When I got home from work this evening, my Oriole’s season tickets for 2006 were here. Same seats as the last two years. This year, I noticed, there are more game times that are “TBA” than in previous years (at least 4 game times are “TBA”). I called Dad to let him know that the…

  • New music Tuesdays?

    21 Mar 2006 » 1 min read about Reading & Books

    Why Tuesday? Why are new books and music (and DVDs) almost always released on a Tuesday? I’m sure there is an answer to this, but while I’m curious enough to ask the question, I’m just lazy enough to avoid searching for an answer. Besides, I suspect the answer is precisely what an old math teacher…

  • Physical

    21 Mar 2006 » 1 min read

    For the first time since 1999 (I think) I have an appointment for a regular physical. Since I moved out here almost four years ago, I haven’t had a regular doctor. Last night, I was chatting with Rich and asked him if he could recommend a good family doctor in my area. He recommended the…

  • Pushups

    21 Mar 2006 » 1 min read

    I’m back to 90 pushups tonight, and my shoulder is feeling much better. Still a little sore, but not when I was doing the pushups. It felt good. I’m also at a new peak weight of 65 kg.

  • New phone

    21 Mar 2006 » 1 min read

    I ordered a new cell phone tonight. I’ve been wanting to get a new phone for quite some time and tonight I decided to do it. I got a Motorola RAZR V3 phone. It’s got a few additional features that I don’t have on my current phone, specifically the bluetooth technology so I can finally…
