Night crossing

Because I wanted to see what the picture would look like. Experiments in limited photographic tools and all that.

I ran 12.06 miles this morning. I feel accomplished.

And if I was posting this directly to LiveJournal, that would be my mood to go along with this post. That, and hungry. Running 12 miles gives one lots of appetite. I guess it's time for me to be looking into signing up for a half marathon in the not too distant future, and maybe I'll get around to doing an actual marathon in 2009. Now that's something that even a month ago, I wouldn't have necessarily felt that I would want to do.

(It's too bad I didn't have a camera with me this morning, or I would have accompanied this post with a picture of the Highway 4 sign.)

It's desert Emma! Collect them all!

Because it's christmas, you get extra frequent Emma pictures!

(And it's really too bad that once a post is up on posterous, you can't fix the image rotation. I tried to fix it on my phone, but somehow once it got to the internets, it went back to sideways)

Emma's ready to go

Merry christmas! (This got lost in the internets earlier, so I'm reposting.)

Loco Roco 2

It will be released to us in the States on February 10, 2009. This is one game I'm definitely going to have to pre-order. The original was beyond awesome. So anyways, I was prompted to write this because Sony posted a rather awesome video to the PlayStation Blog. Maybe it'll cause some people who have neglected their PSPs to pick them up again.

Auditorium

I was too busy and ignored it when Penny Arcade mentioned it. I missed it entirely when ArsTechnica reviewed it. And then, Ars mentioned it again, and I actually followed the link this time. You should check it out, it's as good as they say, and I'm currently addicted.

HP Business Computer Sale

While I know many of you are Mac diehards, for those of you that run Linux or Windows, this sale is off the chain. The prices are almost at the HP business refurb prices, but for new machines. And while I used to be a IBM or nothing person when it came to PC laptops, the current HP business laptops seem at least as good as the Lenovo laptops these days. So anyways, pass it on.

You know it's winter when it is 46F out, and you think it's a warm morning

Speaking of which, we get something closer to real winter out here. It's generally been below 40F in the mornings, and quite chilly during the day. Its still a bit trippy for it to be warmer when I get to work in SF than it was when I left home. I think the plethora of colored leaves are worth it, tho. ;)
