I wonder if going from 4GB to 8GB in my MBP would reduce the number of SPoDs I get per day – too bad it’s still $465 to find out
Ran another 10K on the treadmill during the Wild loss to the Avs – think I saw the best period of the game
Second-to-last swim lesson of the year for kid two. Can’t wait to warm up in there tonight
Taking kid two to the eye doctor for a follow-up, then to the credit union
Created a new test subdomain for 7minutemiles.com in DNS and configured Apache. Will load up WordPress MU and BuddyPress later today
WordPress/BuddyPress overload this morning – tutorials, podcasts, videos
So grey and depressing out today – hard to get motivated. Maybe this Code Red will help
All sites upgraded to WP 2.9 – now on to reviewing frameworks and widgetizing old themes
Hmm…Survivor finale or Vikings/Panthers game?
Mike Tomlin must be some sort of football genius. Thank you Steelers!
Couch, laptop, blanket and TV remote – all set for the rest of the night
Kid one and I hit four places and wrapped up all the shopping for the year. Now I just need to watch the mailbox
Yesterday Colleen and I made our annual trek over to the Walker Art Center to see the British Television Advertising Awards in the beautiful McGuire Theater.
Before the show, we spent some time going through the galleries, including the new Benches & Binoculars exhibit. The layout reminded me of museums we saw in the UK and was well done. Be sure to pick up the handouts if you go – they have a lot of great info in them.
After the galleries, we had lunch at Wolfgang Puck’s 20.21, which was surprisingly crowded for that time of day. Colleen tried the tasting menu and selected pot stickers, salmon and chocolate cake (with a 20•21 bellini to drink). I had the Singapore style street noodles with masala braised short ribs and the cookie sampler for dessert. Pastry chef Corinne Sherbert helped us select the desserts and brought them to our table. They were all good, but I really liked the cheesecake brownies.
I’m now 37.6 miles short of 1,000 for 2009 with 11 days to go
Ran 10 miles in Eagan and Apple Valley. The 1″ of snow was like running through the south bay beach sand – minus the bikinis (and warmth)
WordPress 2.9 seems to have broken my ancient (and deprecated) WeatherIcon plugin. Time to find a newer weather plugin, I guess
Ran 10K on the treadmill – took a cue from the Wild and slowed down the pace a little
Going to try a little workout in the basement while watching the post-fire Wild try to win in Ottawa with new equipment
H1N1 shots this morning, then we ditch the kids for lunch at 20.21, followed by the British Television Advertising Awards at the Walker
When my job at Northwest went away six years ago, I sold my first ten Cities 97 Samplers to help out with Christmas that year (and raised around $1400).
Yesterday I listed the last ten volumes (12 through 21) on eBay as one item. The auction closes on 12/23 and I’ll deliver them in person just in time for Christmas to anyone in the metro Twin Cities area.
More pictures of all ten CDs can be found in the 7MM Photo Gallery.
Happy bidding!
Now on eBay – 10 Years of Cities 97 Samplers (Volumes 12 – 21)
