Beer Run!

I promised a friend I’d show him some pictures of the time we went to burning man in 2002. So of course, I figured might as well make a blog entry about it. For you geeks out there, the Playa (A nearly level area at the bottom of an undrained desert basin, sometimes temporarily covered with water) has a wi-fi network available. Every year, Black Rock City, a temporary city, is formed in the midst of the desert near Gerlach. This city is the host of the Burning Man festival. It’s about a thirteen hour drive from Los Angeles and the closest city is Reno, Nevada which is about 4 hours away.

We can’t find Waldo, we can’t find Osama, but we found Bobby. Hooray!

Omer’s post (Hey, everyone! It’s the “Omer Asks For A Feature” time again!) reminds me that I have a feature request as well regarding references in Visual Studio .NET. I’d like to be able to reference an exe assembly. The C-Sharp compiler supports it, but VS.NET strangely does not.

I like this idea found on Boing Boing:

Earlier I posted the factual backup from Michael Moore’s website concerning Fahrenheit 9/11.

Google apparently is behind this mysterious billboard that presents a nice number theory problem. I love number theory!

This stolen from Koba-san

Michael from London and Dave from New York dropped in unexpectedly this week at the same time. We had a fun time driving around nearly all of L.A. yesterday.

You’ve got to see this video.

The production move went smoothly, but who sent the herd of rampaging elephants over to stomp on my head last night. Strangely enough, nary a hair on my wife’s lovely head was touched.

I’m going to buck tradition and start a new craze just because I mean to. Let’s call it, blogging while buzzed. Perhaps it will be the next meme, fad whatever, but this won’t be the happy byproduct or unintended consequence of an event, but the sole purpose of this blog posting.

This may be a more palatable way to understand Fahrenheit 9/11 for many who are not fans of Michael Moore. His website has a list of the facts he presents in the movie along with the source.

Kurtis Blow once rapped

Which is perfect for finding that bag of chips in the dark. Found this gem on Boing Boing about a recent scientific study that indicates puffing a joint can improve night vision. Of course this won’t help you with the “beer goggle” effect.

The blog you’ve all been waiting for, Jeff Richter is keeping a blog. Well actually, it’s a Wintellog!. Several members of the Wintellect team have formed a group blog. It seems Jeff Prosise is holding down the fort as the most prolific blogger of the bunch.

Ian Griffiths wrote this informative follow-up to my question on delegate references. The .NET framework definitely does not use Weak References to implement delegates.

I have a big question that can probably be best elucidated via some code:

What a weekend in L.A! Beautiful sunny weather hovering in the mid seventies all weekend. I played soccer on both Saturday and Sunday. Watched Spiderman II (loved it). Had some of the best Chinese food I’ve had in a long while. Found time to work on RSS Bandit. Went bodysurfing at the beach. What more can I say? I’m a happy camper.

Michael Moore is keeping a blog. Now if I can convince him to provide an RSS feed.
