Dr Horrible

In case you missed the reference in the Penny Arcade sketch below, Felicia Day stars in The Guild, a webshow about gamers. She also starred in Dr Horrible. And if you haven't seen Dr Horrible, well then... you're just missing out.

Yes... that is Doogie Howser, M.D.

PAX

I'm seriously considering attending PAX, a gaming convention started by the guys at Penny Arcade.  It's the 29th, 30th and 31st of August.  Unfortunately, I missed 'Pre-Registration', so it's $5 more.  Harsh!  :-P

Bonus Week Off

Since our latest bits are shipping this month, management has decided that everyone deserves some time off. Thus the Bonus Week. Everyone in the organization can choose to take off the week of August 11th or August 18th. No need to report it as vacation. Use it or lose it.

I'll be taking mine on the 18th. Mom, Dad and the boys are coming up here to Seattle for a week of fun in the sun rain. We will be visiting Olympic National Park, hiking in the local rain forests, touring several museums in Tacoma, getting lost in downtown Seattle, riding ferries and hopefully having a lot of fun.

The Xterra is all fixed!

The Dark Knight

Work took everyone to see the new Batman movie: The Dark Knight. I'll take going to a free movie instead of work any day.

Is this blog abandoned or what?

Mac Mini Setup

I'm taking a breather from the back breaking house renovation project to get my mother's new Mac Mini setup and ready for her use. Of course the problem with doing this is that I am totally enjoying (for the most part) Mac OS X and now I totally crave a Mac of my own.
