My blog. Personal thoughts, anecdotes, and musings.
I’m writing this post from my Tablet PC that the University bought me. It was sitting on my desk when I came into work this morning and I immediately started fiddling around with it. It is definitely going to take some getting used to but I’m very happy with how easy it is to use. It does a decent job with the handwriting recognition, and it also has voice recognition which will be very useful for me.

Anita and Jeremy were married today at Dover Lutheran Church outside of New Auburn. It was a very nice ceremony. I had a great view from where I sat, playing the music. Anita had asked me a few months ago if I would play, and I said yes, not really realizing how much work it would be. I’m glad I did it though. Everything went well, and it was the least I could do.
I turned 27 today. It was a very low-key birthday. I went to work and solved some big problems that have been bugging me for the last few days. We all did lunch at Mogie’s to celebrate. Every time I go there, I’m reminded that I need to go there more often. When I came home from work, I spent time with Ana and then watched the VP debate with my dad who stopped over to visit.

Here’s some useful M.A.M.E. links. M.A.M.E is an arcade emulator capable of playing images from arcade machines. The legality of all of this is pretty sketchy, but I’m not posting anything that you can’t find with a simple Google search anyway. Besides, I’m not posting any links to any games.

It’s been a little while since I’ve written, and there’s been a lot going on. Mom’s doing some more aggressive therapy now. She spent the last four days in the hospital for some in-patient chemotherapy. She’s home now, but she will be going back to the hospital in a few weeks for more chemo, and then to Marshfield for a bone-marrow transplant. The hope is that after the transplant, she’ll go into remission.

So here I am, watching a flick, when my laptop freezes up. I figured that it was no big deal. My laptop has a tendancy to freeze up every so often, so I’ve gotten used to it. However, this time, no matter how long I held the power button down, I couldn’t make it shut off. So I unplugged the laptop and ejected the battery, as the instruction manual says to do in such a situation.
The reason for the lack of updates on my blog is quite simple-vacation! I took my week summer vacation to spend some time with my wife. We celebrated our second anniversary this last Tuesday by going to the restaurant we met at. I also spent the week recovering from a neck and shoulder injury which occurred last weekend after karate. I was finished with the workout and was turning around to grab something and all of a sudden, I couldn’t move.
