    I just discovered a little chunk of code that made me laugh out loud. Seriously, a coworker came over to ask what was going on and I had to explain it. In case you're wondering too, the chunk of code is called AsciiDammit.py.

    Was just down at Las Galas in Little Tokyo, enjoying a chicken bowl and some free wifi, courtesy of Little Tokyo Unplugged. Would've written this posting from there, but my sister IM-ed me and we chatted about stuff while I ate. Just another example of what's cool about ...

    still xmas in union station

    One of the things I enjoy most about my commute is walking through the lobby of Union Station. It's a really great public space and worth walking out of my way.

    So 2007 is just about over. It's been quite a year. Getting settled in Pasadena, riding the Gold Line to work, and sharing that commute with Una for much of the year were really nice. Attending OSCON 2007 in Portland and travelling with Una to San Francisco and Big ...

    I got to geek out with my Dad a bit - he recently got an OLPC and was showing it off to us. It's a sweet little machine. Here's a photo of it next to my EeePC:

    While I'm waiting for Ubuntu to download so I can install it on my new EeePC, why not post some recent events news? Una and I have both liked Björk for awhile - I like her electronic experimentation and her raw punk energy, and Una appreciates how her song structures ...
