Bits of Randomness

Saturday, January 6th, 2007

I have no resolution regarding blogging, but all the same, I think I'd like to share a bit more wordage to the world. Perhaps it'll help me put my world into context. I take a lot of value from writing; it helps organize my thoughts and put recent events into ...

On Christmas Blogging

Saturday, December 23rd, 2006

Well, I seem to only blog while on holiday... Nothing much to say about anything at the moment. I'm trying to figure out what I'd like to do with myself. Other than being a cunning linguist, I am sort of sailing through life waiting for something big to happen. I'm ...

Happy Thanksgiving

Thursday, November 23rd, 2006

Happy Thanksgiving from my house to yours. This year, my family experienced the final product of the kitchen at the Pine Crest house as we know it. By this time next year, a new kitchen in a new location and with new appliances shall be the instrument of our cooking. The ...

Musings from Fresno

Sunday, February 26th, 2006

Here I am, in lovely Fresno... actually, it is rather pretty this time of year. The snow-capped mountains, although hazy in the distance, are quite the sight to behold. Anyhoo, I'm sitting here, setting up my laptop to start grading (this laptop is woefully understocked in the emacs department, wonder ...

Ruminations on Events Passed

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006

A few weeks ago, Sarah and I had a bit of a row about my presence on Valentine's day, or lack thereof. In a nutshell, a few things happened that caused my weekend before this infamous "holiday" to sink in a sea of transistors. Oh well. Not to be counted ...

Ahoy from Riverside

Saturday, February 18th, 2006

Greetings from David (and family)'s fine home in Riverside, CA. We started from San Luis Obispo at about 9:30AM Friday, took a sister-pickup and Woodstocks layover in Isla Vista, and proceeded straight south into the far away land of Riverside. Due to some gnarly traffic promptly beginning at the Los Angeles ...

Venting from SFO

Friday, February 3rd, 2006

This is sort of a follow-on to my SEATAC post, except that I'm now at SFO. Luckily, the wifi pass ($9.99 for 24 hours, ouch!) at SEATAC works here at SFO through a roaming agreement. Dunno why they charge so much, it's not like data costs much. United, who I hate ...

Thoughts from SEATAC

Friday, February 3rd, 2006

Greetings from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. I'm on my way back to San Luis Obispo, but I have been delayed due to heavy fog in San Francisco. I had a good day at Microsoft yesterday, with 6 interviews of ~1 hour each starting at 9:30 and ending at 17:30. 1 interview was ...

I Did a Nice Thing Today

Monday, January 30th, 2006

I took Paul to Costco to buy batteries (for I have a membership) for his AG kids. On the way back to the car, we found a cell phone that had fallen off the belt of its owner. It had a nice body-glove case. Instead of leave it in the ...

Bus Woes

Monday, January 23rd, 2006

A little tale of my bus woes today. To get to school, I take route 1 from Orcutt and Laurel to the Transit Center. From there, I board route 6b from the Transit Center to Cal Poly, and then move about my day. Normally, this isn't a problem. This morning, however, ...
