Home. Stressed. 8PM can’t come quite fast enough for me.
December 2007
Tonight. We party tonight. For now, I drive.
Wow, this computer doesn’t even have Windows XP SP1 installed on it. Maybe I should bring it home to update it to SP2… How sad.

This person is an idiot. At least half the titles on there should be classified as ‘real’ games.
I ache. Perhaps should have slept in my bed instead of Karen’s couch. But the company was better up the mountain. Snow Tubing this morning.

When I first started this feature over a year ago, I really wanted to put a focus on what I considered to be a highly overlooked portion of arcade history. These flyers, lovingly scanned and cataloged by Dan and friends over at TAFA...
Dial-up Internet is awful. Not even “lightweight” pages like Twitter load with any reasonable speed. And forget Google Reader. Terrible.
Can you say exhausted? Good day of riding despite the conditions. Proud of the little one for conquering the mountain. Hot tub night?

If you’ve been sitting on a paper that addresses the role of software and related technology in shaping human behavior and attitudes, now is the time to polish it up and submit it for the Persuasive 2008 conference, to be held from 4-6 June in Oulu, Finland. Deadlines have been extended and the new submission date is 1 January. Ian Bogost is going to be one of the keynote speakers, and...
Snowball fight!
Twittering from the ski lift. It’s warm but at least there’s no rain.
Up on the mountain. It’s rainy and foggy. Hopefully it will clear up tomorrow so I can board. Until then, I’ll stuff my face with cookies.

Sister’s all moved out. I’m driving the Grand Charokee home.
Gotta move my sister out of her apartment today. This should be a blasty blast.

Funny hearing people in the Apple store asking about unlocking the iPhone. “Why would you want to remove the SIM card?” asks an employee.
It’s the day after Christmas, which means it’s been about one day too long since I’ve gone shopping. To Tysons!
To Grandmother’s house we go
So this is Christmas? It’s a weird one.

It’s weird not sitting by my computer most hours of the day. Saw National Treasure 2 - it was a fun filled romp. Rock Banded the night up.
Our band LEONARDO LEONARDO is going to take over the rock world.
Braving the crowds to do a little shopping. It’s the most mediocre time of the year.
UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME - Pretty sure my laptop is beyond repair.
Just passed Gangs Dominion
Just hit Virginia. About three hours left.
Just hit North Carolina. In the words of Wooderson: I’m making great time.
I’m hoping to only stop once this trip. Going to hit 95 soon.
Finished up Veronica Mars season 3 today. I don’t know whether to order this XPS laptop or wait for MacWorld 2008.
