Okay – wow: 26 inches of snow here yesterday in Reno, and 5.6 feet of it up at Lake Tahoe!

Finished listening to “Rainbow Six” by Tom Clancy on abridged audiobook yesterday. Since Christmas, we’ve had an honest slew of new DVDs to watch. We haven’t made it through the stack yet, but here’s the ones I’ve seen over the past few days (the kids may’ve seen more):
A Cinderella Story (2004; Hillary Duff)Seven [...]
Found the following caches today:
FST: Give Me Immortality Or Give Me DeathFST: How Can You Be In Two Places At Once…Dad’s Cache
but couldn’t find the ‘Genoa Town’ cache in the dark on the way home from Lake Tahoe.
Our place is in a veritable shambles after Christmas with new unfamiliar toys at every turn. The [...]
Found the ‘Jolly‘ cache yesterday – FTF! Jared does this hilarious stomping walk so much around the apartment lately that he’s earned the nicknames “Mr. Stompy”, “Sir Stompalot”, and “The Stomping Willow”.
Between the four of us, we’ve seen so many movies recently that I can hardly remember them all, but here goes:
The Straight Story [...]
Kinda sucks that Outlook distribution lists are limited to approximately 125 email addresses.
Found the ‘Ranch Scrabble‘ cache today, along with the ‘god bless america G.B.A‘ [sic] travel bug. No one in my family could decipher the anagrams – but it only took Deanne about 30 seconds to do so. Guess we’re the losery [...]
We procured some of the new Brown and Haley Cashew Roca. It only tastes slightly different from the original Almond Roca. Push come to shove, however, the original tastes better. They also have a new Mocha Roca flavor, which we haven’t tried.
I also snagged a 2.5 oz (70g) package of Farley’s & [...]
Grisoft’s free AVG 7.0 anti-virus program seems to be more refined than 6.0. (And you can’t beat the price!)
Watched “Charade” (1963; Audrey Hepburn, Cary Grant, James Coburn, Walter Matthau, George Kennedy) last night on VHS. I love a quirky murder mystery.
Well, get ready for copy-protected music CDs, folks. I’m sure that’ll make [...]
I enjoyed comparing F-Secure’s 2003 and 2004 year-end summaries on Internet security. Very good reads – well written, and informative (with just a touch of nostalgia!).
I also enjoyed reading Maximum PC’s new article about how the new AMD FX-55 64-bit CPU running at 2.6 GHz (socket 939) completely trounced on Intel’s P4 Extreme Edition [...]
Watched “The Great Train Robbery” (1979; Sean Connery, Donald Sutherland) on DVD three nights ago. Misti finished crocheting me a nice warm scarf recently, using one skein of Lion brand homespun yarn (“Nouveau 338″: chocolate color with dark gray, a touch of tan, and subtle reds and blues mixed in – 98% acrylic, 2% [...]
Watched “The Bourne Supremacy” (2004; Matt Damon, Julia Styles, Brian Cox) last Wednesday night on fullscreen DVD, and also surpassed 60,000 miles on our car that day coming home for lunch.
Found the ‘Who am I?‘ cache on Saturday, followed by some monster crazy Christmas shopping at Meadowood Mall and Walmart. Tried the new Wisconsin [...]
Finished listening to “The Princes of Ireland: The Dublin Saga” by Edward Rutherfurd yesterday on abridged audiobook. Brad and Emilie came over on Sunday night to visit and discuss our recent noveling experience, in addition to bagging on various aspects of geocaching. Last night, we watched “The Medallion” (2004; Jackie Chan) on VHS.
Finished [...]
In a major bonehead move, Lycos Europe created and distributed a screensaver that is aimed at illegally shutting down websites of known spammers, but is in reality in the process of unintentionally DDoSing (Distributed Denial of Service) their own antispam campaign website. When I posted this, their own site was completely unreachable (effectively shut [...]
Well, we made it: 55,175 words in 30 days, between 6 people. NaNoWriMo was fun, and our collaborative novel isn’t too bad, actually. I can’t believe that some people do that much all by themselves – there was someone here in town that did over 100,000 all by herself. Insane. Once [...]
