I decided to buy a nightstand from Amazon that has LED lighting, some drawers and most importantly, USB/electric port hook ups. The idea of this upgrade is that I’ve been using a flimsy folding table for too long. While the table still works, I’ll probably place it on the other side of the bed or…

I haven’t done an update since my last few purchases so I wanted to go over a few items that I decided to get tonight off of Amazon. I’m still in the process of expanding my desk/work area and to a lesser degree, my living room zone. For the immediate goal, I’m working on ensuring…

The laptop mount came in today and that along with implementing this 10′ coaxial cable that allowed me to reposition my cable modem finished up this weekend’s Desk 2.0 project. I’ll have to take some pictures tomorrow but the main goal was achieved and I have things mostly the way I imagined. However, I have…

Once I get a good chunk of this desk 2.0 project completed, my next project will be replacing some of the functionality I lost when I tossed my old couch, coffee table and broken entertainment center away. I still a couch I bought a while back that is decent enough but it feels empty these…

Today, I received the new 27″ Samsung LCD Monitor along with an attachable double shelving unit. I did a small amount of rearranging and my desk overall has cleaned up immensely.

However, that space has been…

California is one of those states that unless you’re in the top 1% income bracket, you’re pretty much screwed. And even if you’re in that top 1%, you’ll still be screwed on some level. When it comes to housing though, the state’s situation has been out of control for a very long time (at least…

Work was blase as I was inundated by trying to make something that has bad requirements work from a technical point of view using three shitty frameworks done through our favorite indy mudshow language javascript. Things became a mess later on as production issues surfaced where I couldn’t really do much without getting distracted and…

For the last few days, I pushed myself hard in completing Robert Jordan’s The Eye of the World. I had started it maybe over a year ago but never had the focus to really get traction with the novel. Honestly, I found it quite boring.

After talking to my friend the other day about drunken noodles, it got into my head and now I can’t stop thinking about it. Of course, I really don’t know how to make drunken noodles but my friend offered to send me a recipe. I was thinking though of just ordering Thai this coming week…
