Another Year or So…
This year’s birthday spoils:– iPod Nano– Novint Falcon– NFS Undercover– BF2142 Deluxe (for the living room PC) I ended up working half a day today, spent the 2nd half being productive and hanging out with the dog.

>We’ve been cleaning the house this weekend, and as I was vacuuming I wondered if I was nesting. I don’t think so, I think it’s cooincidental with spring cleaning time. I tend to hoard over the winter and then do an overhaul in the spring. I try not to stay inside in the summer, so less likely to dirty it up again and it stays relatively neat until the fall / winter when the whole process can start over again. It feels good to have things picked up though. We finally got around to hanging a lot of artwork /…
