Random Musings

A bit of catch-up first. Corinna was here this weekend, which rocked socks. She arrived Friday night and left this afternoon (she has MLK day off). Friday night we just crashed, pretty much, but Saturday we got together with Chuck, Johnny, and Calmie and played some Pop-Culture Trivial Pursuit (DVD Edition) at Chuck’s place. I DOMINATED without remorse, winning the game with the closest person behind me having only 2 pie pieces. We played Uno afterwards, a game which I never really played before (or at least haven’t played in many moons) and my dominance did not carry over there… :)

Sunday and I just rented two movies ( The Hunted and The Talented Mr. Ripley) both of which were OK but not great. I took Corinna back to Hoboken today so she could catch her bus in NYC but on the way we stopped at Davy’s Hot Dogs for some wieners. They were yummy. I tried to circumnavigate a traffic jam on Rt. 3 near Montclair, but ended up getting somewhat lost. I ended up in East Orange and jumped on 280, so I wasn’t really lost as much as misplaced. Even with my meandering around The Oranges I still think I made better time than if I had sat in the traffic jam, and at least I was moving the whole time. I hate traffic.

Regarding my experiment: I think I am getting used to Expose vs. Virtual Desktops, so my real analysis and comparisons will begin over the next week. I seem to have mostly deprogrammed myself of the pager hotkeys, and am working pretty efficiently with Expose.
