Dave and Christian tied the knot last weekend and we&#8217;re thrilled for them. The weather was great (the wedding was outdoors). They had a very diverse set of readings &#8211; selections from Buddha, the Bible, the Bahá&#8217;í Faith, and even The Velveteen Rabbit. A string quartet played at the ceremony, and they accompanied Christian&#8217;s long [...]]]></description>

We went on a crazy paperwork clean-out spree over the past week. Among the old finds: an old apartment lease from back when I was in college and paperwork for cars we don&#8217;t own anymore. Yes, this was long overdue. In the process, D killed one shredder and very quickly broke in a new one.

		<description><![CDATA[Another fantastic week in Las Vegas has come and gone. This time out we were joined by Mr&Mrs; Boom and Prof Xomox and wife (protecting the names of the guilty, of course).

		<description><![CDATA[A quick update after a bunch of work last weekend.
I spent about five hours on Saturday working on the box. I started with putting the mobo tray back in the case before continuing with any wiring. Well, that didn&#8217;t go so well. It may not be apparent from the previous pics, but the CPU cooler [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I finally know what it&#8217;s like to see an NCAA tournament game first hand. Unfortunately, I also know what it&#8217;s like to pay a bunch of dough to see the Buckeyes lose (yet another) heartbreaker on the national stage.

Friday, D and I headed up to Dayton to see a couple first round NCAA games. Our [...]]]></description>
