Upcoming weekend

I seem to only be updating this thing on weekends now. During the week tends to be fairly unnoteworthy, but here’s a couple highlights of my week so far:

  • Got stuff accomplished at work
  • Fingerworks released new firmware for my keyboard, which includes XWinder support under Windows 2000. Much happiness!
  • We received word that our Costa Rica trip is now fully sponsored and paid for. We have all the money we need. Much happiness again!
  • On Thursday, I attended the Magic Online Birthday Party, during which I entered two 8th-ed drafts and got to the semi-finals in each one. That means that I paid 3 packs to get in and won 2 packs in each of them, so between that and the cards that I drafted I think I about broke even. It was fun.
  • On Friday, I went over to the in-laws with Jessi and we had supper with her parents. We then went to Prof. Yang’s house (she’s one of Jessi’s professors) and watched Crossfire, a 1947 murder mystery movie. It was quite enjoyable, although I found it difficult to keep track of the many characters.

Plans for the rest of this weekend:

  • We’re going back to the in-laws to go Garage Saling with them. We’ll spend the morning looking for treasure amongst things people no longer want.
  • After that, we’re going over to my parents’ for lunch. We’re celebrating Jessi & me’s 1st anniversary, which is coming up on Monday.
  • At some point, I need to work on my homework.
  • I’d like to finish setting up my home network for VPN connection to work. I established a connection yesterday, but I want to get DNS and my firewall rules set up.
  • I’m going to be giving a 10–20 minute talk at Campus Ambassadors on Tuesday. (7:00 at Dowden Hall). This weekend, I have to figure out what I’m going to talk about. I’m currently leaning toward something on evolution (and evidence against it as commonly taught in schools), but I have to figure it out more specifically. People are welcome to come to it if they’d like.

More long-term plans:

  • Looking at the calendar ahead, we have one free Saturday in July. Or are we doing something on the 17th that isn’t on my calendar yet?
  • July 3: Independence Day party at my parents’ place
  • July 10: Wedding shower for our friend Jen from CA
  • July 10: LAN Party at Adam’s
  • July 24: Jessi takes her teacher’s test
  • July 31: We leave for Costa Rica. We plan on being back August 9.
