Why didn't anyone tell me that Nikon has SDKs for its cameras and scanners?

Bought a 2 foot long yellow RC Corvette from Target clearance for $15! Let's see what sweet robot I can make from it.

Driving in the snow is like playing guitar hero on expert. It's more fun. P.S. I like my ESC.

Strike that, I just got an email saying offices are closing at 1:30, but other campus activities will remain as scheduled. Score.

Working on a snowy, snowy day. No snow day for me.

@kemipa when I searched if you were on Twitter, your username didn't show up, but it asked me, "Did you mean keith fail?" Interesting...

@matthenry it seems that @HRBlock is stalking us. In other news, H&R Block uses Twitter. Who knew?

Only took me an hour to do my taxes online. H&R Block FTW.

Played through Portal again. Such a good game. The cake is a lie!

TF2 runs nicely at 1680x1050 and settings on high with a 9800 GT. Not the latest graphics hardware, but decent.

Nice weather. Walking to Autentica to get a burrito for lunch.

Just played some Team Fortress Classic. That's right. TFC. People actually still play that. Rock2, Well, Casbah...

Ordered a new video card since my old one can't run TF2 at 1680x1050 and keep a decent frame rate.

Finally made it back from Boston. Horrible roads, but awesome show. See: http://amwhalen.com/photos/2009/metallica/

Off to Metallica.

Circuit City Enfield: 20% off DVDs, 30% off furniture (tv stands), 10% off TVs, 10% off computer accessories. Online deals are still better.

Circuit City going out of business and they're liquidating through March. Could this mean an awesome deal on a Samung TV or possibly a Wii?

Good weekend: I got out from work early, season 4.5 of BSG tonight, Metallica concert in Boston on Sunday, and Monday off for MLK.

Power's out in my building, and someone's stuck in the elevator. I'm going home early.

@DearIE6 You've taught me so many things I never wanted to know.

Samsung makes amazing monitors. And 1680 pixels wide! What did I do without those extra 400 pixels?

Speaking of Guitar Hero III, it's the first single video game to earn over $1 billion. That's right, BILLION. Wish I thought of it.

Finally beat Metallica's "One" on Guitar Hero III on hard. Only got 3 stars, but I hit 85% of the notes.

3:48pm January 12th 2009 via Twitterrific

I ordered two Samsung monitors, one 19" and one 20". That brings the total Samsung LCD screens here up to 4. Next up: Samsung 46".

9:52am January 11th 2009 via web

Wow. Leaving work and it's still kind of light out.

2:07pm January 9th 2009 via Twitterrific

Can't seem to beat Metallica's One on Guitar Hero III on hard. I got 93% through yesterday then failed out. So frustrating.

Thought: CSS is to HTML as ActionScript is to XML. I style my XML with ActionScript, and Flash is a rendering engine like WebKit. Hmm.

Vacation's over. Back to the real world tomorrow. Tuesday will bring BSG season 4.0 in the mail.

2:22pm January 4th 2009 via web

Only 2 days left of vacation. I'll have to get back to a normal sleep schedule at some point.
