The Speed Racer Movie...

...was unfairly maligned in my book. Yes, it's silly and cheesy, but it was also surprisingly good, with perfect casting, quite a few wonderful moments of pure geek joy, and it was exactly the kind of movie I was in the mood for yesterday. Thanks for having me over to watch it, Jer!

I apologize for that last post...

...that's more of my torso than anyone wants to see.

Still loving my job...

...despite working all weekend, and late both Sunday and Monday nights. Yay job! How weird is that?

Work

Is it telling that, though I face the prospect of working this weekend, this may be the best job I've ever had?

Bad day at work

So the project I'm working on had some major issues today, and I'm feeling pretty responsible for them. It's no fun being the only QA person in an organization when something goes wrong.

D&D

Dinner theater

J's work took the R&D group out to see The Producers. I felt rather
odd getting served coffee by someone with a swastika armband.

Weekend update

So we went to J's grandfather's funeral on Saturday. Spent a lot of time hanging out with family. J's doing all right, better than I would have expected, and I hope that lasts.

Pix from PAX

I've uploaded the few pictures I snapped at PAX 2008 to Flickr, you can find them here. I wish I had taken more, but I was apparently having too much fun. For my impressions of some of the games I saw there, please head over to the gaming blog I write for, gameosaur.us.

Kids, don't run untrusted exe's!

I'm smarter than this, but I still got caught. Just finished reinstalling my OS and necessary software last night. The internet is a scary place sometimes, don't trust anything in executable form from its darker corners.

So amazing

J @ NIN

We are this close to the stage for NIN

Back at work

Still recovering from PAX. The funeral for Janie's grandfather is next Saturday. We're going to a NIN concert at Red Rocks tonight. Row 3. Neither of us are as excited as we should be, given the situation. But we're going, and hopefully good times will be had. I just feel like I need a week's more sleep.
