Wii

I want a Wii. I do not want to pay $500 for a Wii. These two goals are seemingly incompatible.

Carcassonne

Kelly is the most awesomest Carcassonne player ever. Her strategy rocks and she totally deserved to kick my ass tonight. Really.

Christmas Gifts

A totally awesome sweater A totally awesome coat that I can’t find a link for. Inns and Cathedrals Fiction Writer’s Workshop The Areas of My [...]

Happy Holidays

Merry Xmas. I hope you all get what you want. Oh yeah, RIP James Brown.

Video Games

Short post. I have a 360, and it is fun sometimes, but I don’t use it much. I’m way more interested in old school DOS games like Space Quest and Railroad Tycoon. They are literally 50 times as fun.

Merry Christmas

Well it is that time of year again. Time for the annual Halley Holiday Newsletter. I know that most people write these up on fancy paper, and put them in pretty envelopes, with stamps and everything, but we found out this year that Phil is allergic to paper, so I’m going to have to do [...]

John Lennon

Today was the day that John Lennon was shot 26 years ago. I’ve walked by the Dakota, the building where he was murdered, many times, and every time it is sad. I’ve never really understood the people who stand and gawk and take pictures. That’s too gruesome, especially when right across the street is Strawberry [...]

Diet Soda

Since getting diabetes I’ve had a lot of diet soda. I only get to drink real soda when my blood sugar is low and I need a lift. So when I want soda, diet it is. First off, let me make it clear that no matter what anyone says, diet is not as good as [...]

MSCS

So I officially got accepted into the Master’s program in Computer Science at Wash U. I did the “fast track” admissions process so I have to get B’s or better in my first 3 classes. But still, I’m in. I would like to thank Beth for all of her help, especially with dealing with a [...]
