I’ve been participating in International Timing League Online for the past few years. It’s a remote StepMania tournament that runs from March until June with a focus on personal improvement: while there are winners, there are over a thousand other participants who are trying to reach their own personal goals or maybe outdo their rivals.… Continue reading ITL Online 2024: 450k

WordPress ahoy
I have moved my blog to WordPress! It’s been a long time coming. I’ve been holding out on leaving LiveJournal, mostly because I didn’t see TOO many shortfalls over other blogging software. It still allowed me to do whatever a blogger needed to do. But upon realizing that the future of LiveJournal is a bit… Continue reading WordPress ahoy
Good thing I'm okay at puzzles
My roommate locked himself out of our apartment, but noticed it before he left his building. After waiting around for his building manager, he decided to come down to my office building and pick up my building and apartment keys. He’s got a weird sleep schedule, though, so chances are he’ll be asleep when I… Continue reading Good thing I'm okay at puzzles
Europe Trip Omg
Anna and I are going to Europe! For 2.5 weeks! In November!… Yes, we’re really, really jumping the gun and planning way too far in advance. But what the heck there is not much else to do during downtime at work. At this point we’re planning on visiting these places: London Paris Cinque Terre Rome… Continue reading Europe Trip Omg
iPhone 4 The Tie
I reserved an iPhone 4 the day preorders opened – I didn’t actually order one since I couldn’t get through Apple’s website; I reserved one via the Apple Store iPhone app instead. Turns out this was about as good an outcome as waiting for it to just be available, since I wouldn’t have had to… Continue reading iPhone 4 The Tie
Fired
I have a job now and the mandated 30-day silence period has ended, so here’s this post! I was fired from Linden Lab last week. Basically, some goons were banned, other goons asked me why they were banned, I asked coworkers and attempted to discover in our internal issue tracking system why they were banned,… Continue reading Fired
Achievement Unlocked, or Why Lyndon LaRouche Owes Me An Arm
I broke my first bone yesterday, and it was pretty badass! I was biking to work as usual, eager to jump in and check all my code into SVN, when I noticed something new on Market Street: LaRouche PAC tabling with their obnoxious “Obama = Hitler and should be impeached because he wants people to… Continue reading Achievement Unlocked, or Why Lyndon LaRouche Owes Me An Arm
Post About How I Am Enjoying Second Life
Probably has something to do with the fact that I work at Linden Lab, but I’ve begun to actually enjoy mulling about in Second Life. I’m proud of the product my company’s working on. Crazy, right? Anyway this is mostly a vanity post to show how I’ve actually learned how to create stuff to an… Continue reading Post About How I Am Enjoying Second Life
And then he got hit by a car
It's been half a year since I updated my journal, so I thought I'd give a recap to those who've either been in the dark, or following me on Twitter and have as bad an attention span as I do when it comes to keeping track of what is actually happening with people's lives. In… Continue reading And then he got hit by a car
