Summer was ending so I decided to move.  Ok, not really, it was simply time. I’ve moved back to my parent’s house in Laurel, MD… which is exceptionally close to Columbia, MD.  I’ve moved into my parents house in an attempt to save some money, I want to clean it and restore it, while putting […]

Finally got the cranks on, the pedals on, the new 17 tooth cog on the old wheel that I re-tensioned and trued (well, partially trued at least), only to put the chain on with a broken chain tool. (I didn’t realize it was broken). So one of the bushings became bent, and on my ride […]

I’ve been… not away, but simply taking pictures. I should get back to writing… more JavaScript (to refresh myself), more XLST, a little Django/Python here or there. I’ll do that soon.

Oct. 8, 2009 – 12:32am Right now I’m… Sitting on my bed reading the Fannie Farmer Cookbook (my favorite) on how to bake a 9.25lb ham.  Page 201. Remembering how I tell everyone they can’t take it into the kitchen, because I don’t want it getting dirty. Thinking about how I need a roasting pan, […]

I found it very amusing that I wrote a javascript for loop for( int j=0; j<checked.length; j++) Ahh, C comes back to you at the oddest times.

I have no time for anything! This is how I usually feel. There are so many things in the world that I want to do/know about, and yet they all take time to do/learn. I don’t have any big to-dos that eat large chunks of my time either… I work, I have my orchestra, I […]

The coolest part of having a website is seeing that people I’ve never met, from places I’ve never been, have looked at something I’ve done.  For the last day of the year, I just want to list the places that have sent traffic to this website.  I think this is really exciting, and really interesting. […]

1) The idea of beautiful programming books representing the connection between art and programming is an interesting one. I think that there is an “art” to programming, but I don’t think there is really a direct connection. As a musician, I have a very formal vision of an “artist”, and knowing many programmers, few have […]

Raluca Bucur has found me!

Some part of me, deep down, will not let me post photos without cracking open Photoshop first. I don’t know why I feel so strongly about it, but my gut won’t let me avoid it. So of course, it’s ages before I feel alright showing anyone what I took. Be that as it may, I’ve […]

Leaving in about an hour to drive up to the summer house in New York.  Yes, I know it’s fall, and it will be cold (40’s) but I have to shut off the fridge.  Really.  Anyway, I hope that I can relax a tiny bit for the time I am there. C ya maryland!

I moved most of the large items this weekend. I still have a few odds and ends (less than one car-full) left at the house. One more trip, and then one trip to wash the carpets, and I should be fully vacated from the old location, and fully “in” the new. Of course, everything remains […]

…all this traffic. Originally uploaded by ed_welker Getting away from all this traffic and signing the lease to my new place today. Woo hoo! Or at least I think woo hoo. Not going to start moving in yet, because I have a month overlap to do that. Slightly scared, however, that I am looking forward […]

I am trying hard to find a new place in Bethesda, but everything is so expensive… if only they would start the purple line, life would be much easier. I’d still be trying to move regardless, but life would be easier. Ideal location would be on 185 (Conn. Ave) near the beltway so I can […]
