Well, this was an uneventful weekend, so I’ll just drop some puppy photos.
I’m owiber on Instagram if you want to follow me, or view my photos on the web here.
I also threw together some short clips of Mozilla in a video here:
At work this past week, I got to pick up a quick short-term project that involved building something basically from scratch in one week. It was pretty fun, but the combination of Facebook and Internet Explorer is currently highly annoying me. Thumbs down!
I took Mozilla to the vet at the end of last month and he had gained a pound since getting him (about a week’s time). I realized then I should take lots of pictures as he won’t stay a puppy for long. He’s actually really good with the camera and will usually just continue doing whatever he’s doing and occasionally looking at me as I snap photos. This puppy is pretty awesome.
Haha, fat looking puppy:
I went to The Domain along with some peeps primarily for Jonney and FiFi’s engagement (actual event and photos). I took the opportunity to socialize Mozilla a bit more and took him too. He was quite the popular little puppy there. I had one guy stop me and gave me his email so I could send him information (breeder, etc.). Here are some photos:
“How you doin’?”
Oh, and if you’re interested in Jonney and FiFi’s engagement photos, you’ll have to bug Sam and Kat. =p
Shiba inus are infamous for not recalling well. You can tell them to come and they may look at you but then there’s a good chance they’ll ignore you. Mozilla hasn’t been too bad at this so far, but last night when it was rainy and wet outside, I would wipe his feet every time he came back inside. He apparently isn’t much of a fan of this so he got progressively more stubborn about not coming in. Luckily he is a little guy and I just catch him and pick him up. =)
This is the year the world’s supposed to end, right? =p
In usual planeteers fashion (we have a mailing list called planeteers, so that’s the name “the group” has inherited), we rang in the new year by playing Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield and at midnight we mass suicided by shooting each other and throwing frag grenades at our feet. Good times. Back in the day, we used to play Raven Shield a lot of the max difficulty which is really hard and you almost always die in one hit from “the terrorists.” Whenever only a few of us were left and we weren’t near completing the map, someone would yell “all hope is lost!” which would usually prompt some/all of the remaining players to turn on each other and then suicide themselves so a new round would start. Sometimes, though, “all hope is lost!” would be called prematurely by someone who just didn’t want to wait around that long for the next round… you’d immediately hear “NO NO NO!” but it’s kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy as we don’t need a lot of reason to kill each other. =p
Here are some instagram photos of Mozilla from my phone. I need to try to take more “real” photos of him while he’s still a puppy…
On the way back from Arkansas:
Chewing, with pink crate in the background:
Tired out after playing with pink ball:
Mozilla snuggled up against my leg and passed out:
Mozilla’s raccoon tail:
Also, I decided to get a new car (Accord Coupe V6):
2011 was kind of an off year for blogging for me. I’ll try to pick it back up this year. That’s my resolution.
Poor blog, so neglected. After the new year started, I stopped trying to keep up with the at least one blog post per week… I now see that without that target, I apparently don’t post very much at all. =)
Alrighty, so it feels like it’s been a busy month.
Last week, Andrew cryptically scheduled Ryan for a day of something. No one really knew what Andrew was up to, so we weren’t sure whether Ryan would be alive after that day. Turns out, Andrew bought the parts to assemble a MakerBot, so Mark, Andrew and Ryan set out to make the MakerBot so they could make other stuff. Oh… Sam joined for a brief period of time.
They finished really early this morning, but I took a few photos last night. I played around with the processing a bit… hope it’s not annoying.
Okay, it’s a bit late, but here are photos from Chicago. We’ll start off with some from Alinea, which was pretty ridiculous. I’d consider going again in a few years, definitely.
This was my favorite:
The dessert was pretty crazy. I don’t even know what was in it.
It was pretty cold… I think when we got in it was somewhere in the lower teens.
We went to the John Hancock Observatory which was pretty cool. Nice view of the city.
I think this one is funny because it looks like an ad photo.
The day after Alinea, we went to Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak and Stone Crab, which was pretty awesome. This is the same restaurant I went to in Las Vegas.
After that, we had stuffed pizza and Chinese:
The next day, we had brunch and italian and visited The Bean:
The last day… I don’t remember the place. It was good but not memorable. It did have wood ice-cream though.
Our family typically celebrates Christmas more on Christmas Eve than on actual Christmas day, so that’s what happened again this year. I picked up iLife ’11 and took it home and Olivia toyed with it a bit and quickly came up with this using its new trailer “mode:”
Here are a few shots of the Wong family opening presents, and related shenanigans:
Then, at around 1AM on Christmas day, Steph and I repeated our early morning IHOP run with Sam, Heather and Viraj this time (last year OMan and Mikey were there). We ended up staying there until 6:30AM. Craaazy.
We also didn’t let Christmas get in the way of our usual ultimate game, so we rounded up a group of six and headed to the field with the wind blowing and the temperature in the 40′s. We ended up revising the rules so that the frisbee was still live if it was rolling which caused quite a bit of hilarity. We played until until a team scored five and got out of there. Heather invited me over to Jimmy’s for dinner and they (plus Steph) cooked dinner which I was able to mooch off of… woo!
Now it’s time for me to play with iMovie… adios. =)
