  • Just watched "The Prestige" after seeing "Inception", also directed by Christopher Nolan. Very well done movie, but an unbelievable ending. #
  • Made a juicy, spicy mushroom/onion/walnut/feta cheese/turkey burger for dinner! #
  • Can't complain about traffic anymore. Apparently the Beijing-Tibet expressway is experiencing a 100+ km traffic jam. http://goo.gl/GhAZ #
  • "Sorry, but I can't hear you over this Sun Chips Bag!" http://goo.gl/Qkok #
  • Eating pineapple upside-down cake with vanilla and strawberry ice cream while watching So You Think You Can Dance Canada! #
  • Just picked up my $4 Fandango coupon over at groupon.com…but no good movies until Harry Potter in November. http://goo.gl/V6PR #
  • Off to play softball! #

  • Re-kindling the learning spirit by attempting these MIT OpenCourseWare courses…let's start with linear algebra. :) http://goo.gl/IME6 #
  • Apparently a "mini tornado" passed through Princeton/Plainsboro last night and took out the power at the office for a while. #
  • So glad that they schedule So You Think You Can Dance Canada right after the American version ends. It's like the show goes on forever. #
  • :( Spending way too much time upgrading my blog while trying to retain the same functionality as it did before. Had to do it eventually… #
  • Had a glass of "green tea" soy milk…surprisingly enough it tasted just like regular soy milk, but had a green tint to it. #
  • Found the entire series of the TV show "Early Edition". Just as good as I vaguely remember it 10+ years ago. #

First Post from the Renovated Blog

Apparently my brother tells me that our excellent webhost (A Small Orange) will only be using PHP5 by the start of September.  That means that my “stable” blog for the past 4+ years needed a full upgrade to WordPress 3.01.  Unfortunately for me it broke a bunch things, but at least it’s “modernized”.  Now if I could remember what everything looked like before doing this entire conversion, that would make stylesheet hacking a little easier.  Pretty cool that twitter tools allows you to pick the “via” on twitter to say whatever you want now.

I really should put more content here though…just can’t think of anything right now.  Maybe I should start a project or learn something (useful). ^_^

  • Someone brought in gourmet chocolate chip (w/ and w/o walnuts), peanut butter, and oatmeal raisin cookies! #
  • Today at work, I learned how to crack an Excel password because someone forgot theirs. Quite interesting how easy it ended up being. #
  • Eating pistachio ice cream with blueberries while watching the So You Think You Can Dance season finale! #
  • While driving home, saw what looked like someone walking their pet bear down the street…turned out to be a really big dog instead. :( #
  • Switching it up today…watching Little League Baseball! #

  • Movie time! Watching Inception while eating popcorn, grapes, and fresh papaya. Let’s see if it lives up to its 9.2 IMDB rating. #
  • Finished watching the movie…quite an interesting film. Felt like a cross between The Matrix, The Dark Knight, and Ocean’s Eleven. #
  • Tonight’s movie…Toy Story 3! #
  • Excellent, excellent movie! Even better than the first two! It’s all downhill now for the rest of the movies this year…maybe Harry Potter. #
  • Someone finally filled the chocolate bowl! Eating an “Extra Creamy Milk Chocolate with Toffee & Almonds” Hershey’s Nugget. #
  • Looks like someone’s BBQ’ing outside…so early in the morning. #
  • Need to stop hitting the same spot on my knee while playing tennis. I think this slice of layered chocolate-chocolate cream cake will help. #
  • Staying at work until 8PM to help move computers around definitely has its benefits…like a really good veal parm / fried calamari dinner! #
  • So tired after going to work all day today moving computers around. #
