Mark's

The Pushing Game

Been a while since we’ve hung out at Mark’s… good memories there, and we added more tonight. Of note were the Trivial Pursuit champions, Andrew, Mark, Van and myself (and my Kevin Mitnick answer… yay animated GIFs!). Also, masked in an attempt to play the above pictured game with her, I very triumphantly slapped Kathy in the face much to my satisfaction. =) Sorry, little one, it’s just so much fun. =p

Spring Break!

I don’t know why I put an exclamation point in this post’s title, because I don’t really have a spring break (oh woe are those in the working world, haha ;). Regardless, I had a blast in Surfside, TX at a beach house. Many thanks to Kathy for putting up with us and fronting the planning, it really is a rather difficult thing to do.

I’m in the process of uploading a lot of pictures to my flickr, but it’s taking forever… once they’re there, I may title/comment on some of them and create a set. The other photographers on the trip have other pictures, especially a higher ratio of pictures including myself in them (and… that’s something I may or may not be interested in you seeing, haha).

Kathy, Ochs, Van and I went to Sam’s grandfather’s funeral today. I’m finding it difficult to put words on the experience, but it was quite obvious he was loved by many people. Please continue praying for Sam and his family, especially his grandmother.

Warcraft 3 on MBP

Played some Rosetta Warcraft 3 on the MBP today. Seems like the issues were primarily due to the custom map we were trying to play (not sure if it’s a problem specifically with the map or with the Rosetta/Mac/IntelMac and the map together). We played a short regular game and a game of DoTA and it seems to play okay. The mouse acceleration is still a bit weird to me… I hear there’s a Microsoft utility I can use to make it Windows-like… I was using a Logitech mouse though so not sure if that’ll work… I might try it out sometime.

In other news, with casual use (web surfing, iTunes) the MBP doesn’t get scorching hot like when it’s importing 11000+ photos. Parts of it, especially towards the rear can still get pretty warm though.

Firefly

Chad, Mark, Patrick, Van and I just finished watching Firefly finaled by Serenity. Man, such a crazy good series + movie. Anything I say about it won’t do it justice. So this is it. Watch it if you haven’t.
