It's snowing!
At least it is here on my blog.
Just a post to update links on the left. Now go read xkcd. All of it. And make sure to read the mouseovers, they are often the best part.
Current Music: "Self-Conclusion" - The Spill Canvas
Links of the Day: This bug is why you often can't read the full mouseover text on xkcd without doing a right-click/properties. Sad how long it has taken to be fixed.
The origin of emoticons... everything comes from somewhere, I guess. :-)

I am now an old man
It's probably about time for a quarter-life crisis...
I kinda forgot about the whole having-a-blog thing, and the idea of how you're supposed to update it. Perhaps I'll go through a phase of updating again. We shall see. I had to figure out what the heck my FTP upload account info was again (thanks Jeff for keeping the site up and around) and figure out how to convert my Blogger account to use my *Google Account* (oooh, shiny)
Anyway, it was my birthday a couple days ago- thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday via Facebook! I know it reminds you that my birthday is coming up, but it's better than a kick in the ass. Or nobody wishing you happy birthday. :) Speaking of Facebook I suppose I should get back on that... Jen and a bunch of people are on a trivia team and I am slacking off- the only points I have are those that Jen earned while signed in as me...
My new job at ProCurve is going really well and my job is definitely really interesting. It's way different than being at a small company, but everyone is really friendly and easygoing. Jen is interviewing with a couple places in the area, so she's pretty excited about that. Riley (our dog, I guess I haven't written about him here yet) is doing pretty well... he is getting better about listening to us, although he is still pretty hyper sometimes. Fortunately the 110+ degree weather of summer is over and most days it's in the 70's or so.
Well anyway... enough for now, I'm off to play some Zelda: Phantom Hourglass on my DS (Thanks Jen!)
Random Quote: A witty saying proves nothing. -Voltaire (seen on a random Slashdot sig)
Current Music: Ratatat - Remixes Volume II
Link of the Day: ogame.org - A text-based space sim game. I like it because you can log in like once or twice a day, do stuff for 10 minutes, then let things build/research/etc for several hours.
