Won’t you be my neighbor?

General April 23rd, 2008

My neighbors to the south (yes Eric, the ones with the pool) put a for sale by owner sign in their yard today. If you’re interested in a 1500 sqft home in a great neighborhood, bookended by librarians (ha!), let me know. I use your backyard, you use my wireless, everyone wins!

One down, three point six

General April 23rd, 2008

I’m a little slap happy tonight, as I finished a major project at work. I was at work until about 8, and I decided to take the rest of the night off. Well, that’s not true. For tonight’s academic reading, I read Andrew’s blog post about DC. Now I can buy the button, “I survived the blog post of 2008″ (and there weren’t even pictures!)

Tomorrow is a term paper day (give or take some work meetings,) and I’ll finish up another project that’s been hanging. I’ll finish a second project over the weekend, getting me close to finished with my wireless policy class. The final monkey is the telecomm term paper, which I hope to finish by next Friday.

Then I can relax again. I am on deferred self-indulgence until the work is done, but when it is, I feel a bender coming on.

Also school related, my family is coming up for graduation (5/10-11) and there will be some partying. I’d also like to plan a summer party with my tailgate friends (either here or up north,) so start thinking about when works for you. (I’m guessing Mother’s Day weekend doesn’t, which is why I ask for more suggested weekends.)

Nude models for video games

General April 23rd, 2008

I thought I’d commented on this before, but I couldn’t find it. Volition is again hiring nude models. Makes me wonder what kinda skills their art people need, and what games are “in the pipe.” Can I make an inappropriate joke out of that? No, I don’t think I will.

Lucky for all involved, I have no plans to moonlight.
