I had the day off today, so I slept until 11:00 but got up ready to make the most of the rest of the day. I started out by cleaning the rabbit cages and reorganized their habitat.  I moved the shelving unit into the corner and moved their cages a bit closer to the wall.  […]

After Tasha headed to bed tonight, I started in on the Man Cave project.  I decided to start small by simply re-arranging the stuff on the storage unit to see if my Mom’s re-stacking genes could pay any dividends.  I’m happy to say that they have.  I was able to re-arrange my entire LOTR sword […]

As previously mentioned, today is the 13th anniversary of getting my Shodan.  For this reason, I opted for a karate workout with my buddy Paul.  We started off with warmups, then I took him through the body tension and connection drills that we did at the Arvada dojo on Tuesday.  Then we did some basic […]

As I was getting things shut down for bed, I looked at the date and wondered aloud why it sounds familiar. Then I came to it… 13 years ago today, I got my Shodan.  Thinking back, I can almost feel the frozen tile of that Elk’s Lodge under my feet.  If my memory serves me […]

My lovely wife purchased me a record player for Christmas, a really cool present.  All of the reviews I have read about how to properly enjoy vinyl says that you should invest in a decent set of headphones to go along with your rig, so today I started researching.  I’ve come up with a few […]

Tasha and I went shopping today after lunch, and I decided that it was time to replace my iPod case with one that wasn’t cracking around the edges badly. We headed in to the Apple Store in Flat Irons Crossing Mall, where I quickly selected a replacement case.  There are three things that strike me […]

I got so engrossed in getting my D&D game together last night that I neglected to blog.  So much for my daily blogging goal, but I will try and make it as close to a full year as possible.  I’m not too bummed about it because I’ve been averaging far more than 365 posts in […]

What a wonderfully crappy blog topic for tonight… it seems that I have the writer’s block.  I’ve sat here, cursor blinking inertly in the post box for twenty minutes now without even the glimmer of an idea to write about.  This isn’t just limited to my blog, I have writer’s block regarding my D&D campaign […]

Today was a busy day at the office, luckily I got to spend quite a bit of heads-down time coding.  I like days that work out like today… I feel like I made a lot of headway on my tasks and didn’t have too many meetings to break up my concentration. A coworker was in […]

Tonight was a great night at the dojo!  After a painfully slow warmup, we started in with standing punch and block combinations to work on core tension and body timing.  Shortly thereafter, we were told to get across from partners and we were going to do some kumite drills.  We started off with basic three […]
