I am eagerly awaiting my golf clubs which I finally ordered earlier this week. For those golf geeks, I got a set of used Callaway X-16. There is just something about ordering something online.. and then waiting for it… and then checking the fedex/ups website to see your package travel across the nation that makes me even more eager to get whatever you got. And now, with Gmail and their super clever detection of tracking numbers, it is just one click away to see where that package is. Heck, to be completely honest, I found myself checking where my mom’s books were that I ordered for her from Amazon…. why?… I have no idea to this day. Anyway, I hope I am not the only one that has this “problem.”

This weekend Laurie flew off to Las Vegas to have a fun time with her friends from Berkeley. As a result, I have had the luxury of dog-sitting Toby for the entire weekend. I have figured out why dogs have become man’s best friend and the answer is simple. This guy is ALWAYS excited to see me. Who wouldn’t like that! He wags his tail furiously when I get home, when I throw his toys around, and even when I wake up. This guy just doesn’t care that.. well… I just am not that exciting. Makes me feel like I live a “happenin” life.

Also, here are some great pictures from the Sharks game that Laurie got me tickets to. Go Sharks!

You can see the players skating around after coming out of the shark head…

My boy Cheechoo scored a friggin hat trick this game. That beast.

Happy that the Sharks won. Had a great time.. thanks Lars!

Made myself a new and improved header for the site today… hope you don’t find it lame. BTW, legos are the bomb.

I have been watching Beauty and the Geek this season and have become a fan… however, this past week I discovered from a trustworthy source, that one of the “geeks” is not a real geek. Apparently, this “geek” was a varsity soccer player AND dated a cheerleader. I don’t know how you guys define “geek” but that sure doesn’t sound like one to me….

I have always had this suspicion that the show “geekifies” the geeks in order to make their transformation more dramatic. This can also be referred to as the “She’s All That” effect. My theory is that the show has a lot of incentive to do this in order to make the show more entertaining and improve the possiblity of a geek & beauty romance which apparently also happens in the first season. Coincidence? I think not.

Anyway, I still am going to watch the show, but it is not as cool as I thought it was.

I bought a new computer today. I won’t waste your time by telling you all the details, but I feel like it is a significant change in my life. It is a little sad to say goodbye to my old computer which I personally hand crafted as a senior in high school, but I already have some special plans for the old hardware…. I’ll keep you posted with the details once I figure them out.

Anyway, here is a cool picture of my coworkers and I on our Segway tour of SF. I had a pretty dope Segway with carbon fiber accents. The tour wasn’t all that interesting, but cruising around and getting pointed at by asian tourists made it worthwhile.

Here are more pictures from our QuickBooks “Ship Trip”. Although it didn’t involve any boats, we rocked out at the Warfield in SF.

The Gentlemen

My hot date

For those that have had the pleasure of riding in my car the past few days, you may have realized that I did not listen to music. No radio, no cds, no mp3 player.. nothing. The reason is because my car stereo decided to take a vacation and not inform me as to why. Thanks to Eddy and his old school Micronta 1000 Ohms/Volt Multitester, I was able to drag my stereo out of its hibernation. Woo hoo! I can now listen to La Romantica! [insert dance of joy here]

BTW, in case you were curious, the problem was a bad connector which was depriving my stereo of power.
