Newsflash
- We moved into the new house 3 months ago. Plenty of space, good layout, nice yard for Sedona. Everybody (me, Kristen, Vlad and Zeb) is happy.
- I've torn my ACL a few months ago. The surgery is scheduled for Oct 25th. I putting in a "new" ligament from a cadaver.
- Research started to cooperate, so work is keeping me very busy. I went to a conference in San Diego back in April, and I am presenting another paper in Seattle on Oct 16th.
- Because of my injury the only cardio activity I can do is biking. I recently bought a sweet older road bike. It's a Piranello, steel frame, built initially for cyclo-cross, so it has very light mountain bike components on it. I've done a couple of rides so far and I love it.
- I am building a Home Theater PC using MythTV for the living room. So far it cost me in the neighborhood of $400. What is a MythTV good for? You can set it to record one or two episodes of "Law and Order", "CSI" or any other favorite show everyday. If you only have time to watch TV once a week, you go to MythTV select the recorded show that you want to watch and click play. The best part is that it automatically cuts out the commercials for you (suck it Tivo). I hate commercials with a passion, and being able to watch the whole Daily Show in 15 minutes without the stupid ads is awesome.
