Here is the view from my bedroom window as it looked this morning (from my camera phone).

I need a better camera.

I ♥ Sliders

I had to share this.

I went to eat at White Castle the other day. On the wall they had this sign:

If you can’t read it, White Castle is taking reservations for Valentines Day dinner from 5-8pm on Feb 14. You get your own server and a candlelight dinner.

All I know is that come Monday there are going to be a bunch of pissed off women at the White Castle and an equal number of guys who don’t understand what the problem is.

Listen in on me…

Thanks to a link from Scott Fitchet, I installed Audioscrobbler, a plug-in for iTunes that will upload what music I’m listening to. You can see my list here. If there is a way to get the 10 most recent songs updated live on my site, I’d like to do it.

I’ve also set up an account on Flickr. I have my phone set up to send photos there and I’ll eventually move my digital photos there too I think. It seems much more robust than what I was using before.

It begins…

It looks like I might be able to work on my first honest to goodness research project.

Its pending approval from the National Science Foundation, but if it goes through I’ll be working with the Institute for Rock Magnetism.

Shane Colin used to work at the IRM doing programming and such and I always gave him shit about it because I had no clue what they did. Now I know what they do and its pretty cool….I’m still not sure if Shane knows, however.
