405 is actually better! (1/26/2009 7:51 pm)
Filed under: Personal

My commute as of late heading into work has been much better. I thought it might have been a fluke last week because people were on vacation or some such, but even today it was still better.

It looks like all of the construction they've been doing to 405 around the Coal Creek area is starting to pay off. They've managed to get rid of the choke point at the I-90 interchange, and I couldn't be happier.

The only bit that sucks is now I won't have as much time in the car to listen to my audio books. I'll live :)

Microsoft ACES Axed (1/23/2009 7:06 pm)
Filed under: News

I'm sure you've heard the news about Microsoft's layoffs. Well, one of the victims seems to have been the entire Flight Simulator team.

Sadly, this would also mean there won't be a Microsoft Train Simulator 2. That's just wrong. Of course, I was probably one of the few people looking forward to it.

I wish the best to those hit by this.

Germany takes on Combine Honnete Ober Advancer Mercantiles (1/21/2009 5:09 pm)
Filed under: News

I see that Germany is banning a drug called "Spice", and I immediately wonder what the navigators have to say about it.

Don't worry; I know you didn't get what I'm talking about. I'm just deep into Dune right now, working my way through all of Brian Herbert's books.

A friend of mine has released a game to Xbox Live Arcade's Community Games called Toxic.

Go, check it out! It's a fun puzzle game, I know I've been addicted to it for a while now.

Engadget a quotable source (1/14/2009 11:00 am)
Filed under: Humor

Around work Verizon is doing some work, installing FIOS lines, apparently. The trucks all have this on the side of them:

So fast it hurts!
- Engadget

I'm sorry, but they might as well quote some blog for all the credibility Engadget brings to their endeavor. I just think it's funny Verizon is using something that's basically a glorified ad service (one that I like, nevertheless) as a source of marketing material.

Origami of the Day (1/5/2009 1:32 pm)
Filed under: Personal

Once again I've ended up with an origami calendar. If you want to keep up at home, feel free to go here, the page will update each day as I attempt to follow the calendar and create something new and exciting.

Yeah, I'm working today. Really I am. I'm sure I get paid to build snowmen. =)
