This is my last night of living in the Bay Area! Tomorrow I set off for the north. I will be driving 605 miles north on Highway 5 tomorrow to reach Portland, where I hopefully won’t be too exhausted to hang out with James for an evening, as he makes his way down to the… Continue reading Last hours

Lunar eclipse!
I was playing God of War 2 and getting my Vista partition to work under VMWare in Ubuntu and decided I’d watch out for the lunar eclipse, too. I’ve got a skylight in my room, so it’s easy!
