E3 Pictures

Some personal pictures taken at E3. I only took my camera on the last day to sample the surroundings. Here’s us with a Powerpuff Girl and Victoria playing the Cars demo.

It’s Not Easy Being Green

I have this trail to the next deli that I often walk during lunch hour. It’s a bit of street and a lot of hills and trees. So about 10 weeks ago I noticed a flurry of movement in one of the puddles on the side of the trail. Tadpoles, and a lot of them. 2 weeks later the sun had evaporated a lot of the water (the puddle would dry out later before most tadpoles had turned into frogs). So I figured why not take a few tadpoles to the office, feed them and see what happens. We did this kinda stuff all the time when we were kids, after all. 8 weeks later I have about 15 frogs in my little watertank, pictured below. They’re fun to watch, even though coworkers find the occasional escaped cricket on their desks

Welcome to Sonoma. We’ll Steal Your Identity!

Victoria and I didn’t get a lot of mail when we first moved to Sonoma. After a while we started to think that somebody must be stealing or mail, too much stuff went missing. We finally found out that the post office was holding our mail – without telling us about it, of course – and got a huge backlog of 10 days or so. So everything turned out to be fine, right? Yeah right. We just got notification from the USPS that somebody did break into the neighbourhood mailboxes, and that’s why they started holding mail in the first place while they were “busy” replacing the box.
We already put fraud alerts on our credit accounts, I don’t think anything bad will come of this. One of the prices you pay for living in what Wolfi and Roland described as “Wisteria Lane”.

Woohoo!

Woohoo! E3 coming up! Are you excited? I’m excited, and I hope you will be, too! See you in LA.
