22ish hours left of 2007. Man, that went by fast.

I've spent the past couple days doing some web design work for myself. It's a lot of fun using new CSS 3 styles. It's a shame that it would take hours (and weeks) to back port these for other browsers. You know... Internet Explorer...

And now that I've done some light testing, seems like Firefox...

I'm tired. I miss sleeping in.

Xmas went better than I anticipated. Got a couple cool gifts, a few I wasn't expecting. Ember's "first Xmas" was enjoyable, she said. That pleases me.

Though we still have to buy each other gifts. Eventually. Maybe when money isn't as tight.

Hmmm... Working the week of Christmas is weird. Almost spooky though because hardly anyone's in. This...

Three and a half hours till Christmas!

I don't know why I'm excited because I'm pretty sure I'm not getting what I really want until later. Ember and I are a) broke, b) still haven't bought each other gifts yet. Which reminds me, I should probably start looking up what I want.

My iPhone now knows where I am.

I can't wait to get lost and use this to find myself.

Today was a good day. Yesterday we got a [new to us] rear-projection TV, now that Mark replaced it with a 40-something inch HDTV. I need to finish hooking up the receiver and the Wii so I can play Mario Galaxy.

Where Mario is a foot...

Our cats are sick again. Tuesday I woke up to finding vomit everywhere (and some poop, not nearly as much as the vomit). While I was at work Ember said Madison was throwing up a few more times. She dropped him off at the vet and we picked him up later that night. Several tests and billions of dollars later they did not find any...

Apparently there's a big snow/ice/rain storm coming Sunday... so the new TV is on hold. Dammit. If we don't get a chance to pick it up the following weekend, we probably won't get it until next year with all the holidays and stuffs.

Also: I remember why I hate taking trains. Last night I arrived at Princeton Jct at 8:15. I got home around 11...

A good morning: walking in and before you even get off the elevator, getting handed your paycheck. Nice. Especially now when I'm broke. (I have no idea where my money went. I've been really good at not going broke the last couple months, too!)

I'm excited for my [possible] move to the new building. I'm sure it'll be difficult at first, as everyone figures out...

Ember and I made so much freaking food. I don't know what we were thinking. We have so many leftovers. We'll be eating Thanksgiving dinner over and over again for the next week.
fire:
You guys should bring me some food!!! I miss you both!

Rendering HD stuff takes so freakin' long.

While I lack the scientific data to back up this claim, I'm pretty sure everything takes 1.52x longer when you're on a tight deadline (ie: the last FedEx pickup of the day).

Actually, that number may be too conservative.

Comparison of SD vs. HD render times:
I have some graphic elements that are rendering now. Visually, the look...

wow, I haven't really read your blog in a while.

It's filled with nerd stuff so I got bored and stopped.

Today's fortune cookie (sweet and sour chicken, ftw!) was an actual fortune! I'm amazed, shocked, and other action words!

Good news will be brought to you by mail.

By mail, eh? Well, which form of mail? My apartment's mailbox? Email? Or, with Leopard, my RSS feeds come in through Mail (though I find myself going back to Safari's RSS reader from time to time), so...

Since some time yesterday my throat has been dry and scratchy. Today it's just brutally sore. I hope it stops soon.

Luckily it's a bit of a slow day today at work. There's a chance everything I was supposed to do today will come back when I'm in the middle of another project. And then there's a chance I'll have to work Saturday of next...
