Overconfidence
A modern dance performance pushed me to the brink of uncontrollable laughter. I took a high-interest loan off my future self-control reserves just to keep it together. Poetry recitation while dancing was more than I could take.

Hot and Cold
Given a room of people with similar body fat, why are some cold while others are hot? Something to do with metabolism? I'm going to see if I can find out.
I am in-vin-ci-ble!
I'm fairly sure I just became the first person ever to run LimeWire under Java SE6 on Mac OS X. SE6 is 64-bit only, Carbon is 32-bit only, and they do not play well together. Good enough for a victory dance.
Mt. McKinley Routine Part 7
Sixty flights of stairs, 43 pounds, 45 minutes, and no trekking poles on the way up. Slower than last time, but I dropped the crutch. Once the time comes down, I'll add another ten pounds. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
Grrr
I added Growl support to LimeWire a few minutes ago. Watch as crowds of people suddenly want to be my friend. Yes, you can be my friend too.
Modern Day The Twilight Zone Ideas
Twilight Zone premises for the modern age: suddenly every installed web browser vanishes, leaving only the installers. Or every compiled compiler disappears, and we have to bootstrap gcc from scratch. Years are lost.
In New York in April?
Do you live in New York, or will you be there the second week of April? I have a plus-one for a company party. They're fun.
Mt. McKinley Routine Part 6
Another ten pounds on the pack, now 43, and sixty flights in 40 minutes. I caved and used the trekking poles from the 24th floor up. Also: my building has two thirteenth floors, so I've really been climbing 61.
An Invite to The Met
Work is sponsoring a trip to The Metropolitan Museum of Art, with some fun stuff afterwards. I've got an extra invitation. Anyone want to go?
Mt. McKinley Routine Part 5
I skipped a day and felt guilty, but the rest probably helped my legs. Same 33 pounds, sixty floors a minute faster, and no trekking poles at all this time. Very encouraging progress. Time to add another ten pounds.
