The official U.S. time

A government site with a memorable URL: www.time.gov. So yeah, my phone (current time piece of choice, since I've gotta lug the thing around anyway) was 10 minutes slow. That's my excuse for showing up to work late and I'm sticking to it.

Tahoe, May 2004

These photos have been uploaded to Flickr, tagged with May 2004 Tahoe vacation and added to my Vacations set.

Since I've mostly been posting pictures, and rarely even that, I really should get Picasa up and running with the BloggerBot. Or I could actually decide to finish one of those articles I have saved as drafts, like the position: fixed; design one, where I explain how I did Jade Lee's site. But not now, it's time to pack my bags.

DoubleType - DoubleType

A font creation tool written in Java. I'm more at the learning to use typography stage of learning than the creating my own, but looks like a cool tool to come back to.

A note to myself, from gadling, a travel blog.

Pierced Eyeglasses

Just got new new rimless glasses, taking some adjusting too, keep having these moments of, "my glasses are broken, where did my frames go?!" Anyway, these glasses mounted to your bridge-of-nose piercing make a certain amount of sense, IF you've already got a bar of metal through your face. But I can't imagine why someone with glasses would put a piercing there in the first place.

Serenity

Serenity exceeds all expectations. And if you've noticed the banner ad on this page you know those expectations were rather high.

We saw an early screening last night, the special effects were quick rendered with no texture, but it was still awesome seeing them all on the big screen.

If I had to sum up the movie with one word it would be "intense". Cybil and I stayed up late talking about it, recalling favorite scenes. I can't believe we have to wait until September, I want to see it again right now.

Early Christmas

Celebrated an early Christmas with the Solyns yesterday. Cybil got me a freestanding tent:

The ground here is too hard to pitch a stake, but they've finally started coming out with free-standing tents light enough to carry solo. It's not very wide, but there's lots of head room for a tent it's size.

The white thing in the very back corner of the room in the above photo is my ping pong table, hidden behind a canvas cover I made so that it isn't this giant looming black thing dominating the room.

And as long as I'm posting, here's the obligitory cats being cute photo:
