Tiana on her way to see snow
This was a photo I took on our New Year’s Day trip to see snow in Lake Tahoe. I’ll post the photos I took on my Flickr account soon.
QotD: One Lump or Two?
How do you take your tea or coffee?
Submitted by Vasquez.
If the coffee is regular cup size, I take two sugars, one creamer. If it happens to be the coffee at work, it is amp’d up to four sugars and four creams. Yeah, it’s strong coffee.
Otherwise, give me a Venti Mocha please.

QotD: My Dream Career
What’s your dream career?
Submitted by Something.
If I could do it all over again I would have probably be a chef. I thought of being a chef my junior year in high school. Funny, I don’t cook to often now, but I think if I made that career choice back then and stuck with it, I would be pretty good at cooking.
QotD: OS Preference
Windows, Mac, Linux - What’s your preference and why?
Submitted by ramblingsbymark.
In order of preference: Mac, Linux, then Windows. I’ve actually just switched all my home computers to Mac. Linux I’ve used at jobs and on website. Windows I enjoy the least. Too many people with too many spyware slash virus problems!
QotD: All My Computers
How many computers do you have in your house?
Submitted by Foomper.
Four.
24" iMac - Just purchased this about three weeks ago. A very sweet machine, and my primary home computer. I know I wrote that I was lusting after Mac Pro, but after researching it more I think the iMac suits my needs. Away with Windows!
Pentium 4 3.0 gHz Windows XP machine - A three year old computer which is the second computer I ever built. I used a black Antech Sonata case, and an ASUS P4C800 Deluxe Motherboard. It was frustratingly fun to build a computer from scratch.
QotD: On Podcasts
Do you listen to podcasts? Are there any you’d recommend?
Inspired by Alex.
I listen to a lot of the twit.tv podcasts, or as Leo Laporte has been using now, netcasts. I like his Mac netcasts, This Week in Tech, and his KFI feed.
Also on my list is the Answer Bitch from E! Online. Celebrity gossip with a little bite!
Vox Hunt: I Love This Mug

My Batman mug is used for most liquid beverages. Unfortunately, I chipped it while washing it earlier this year :(
But it minor damage hasn’t stopped me from using it!

A quick happy birthday to Tessie and Tiana!!!

Vox Hunt: Stuck On You
Take a picture of something that someone put a sticker on.
Tiana with Stickers.
Fun with stickers!!!
Give a child a sheet of stickers and they will handle the rest.
QotD: My Intro to the Big Screen
What was the first movie you remember seeing in a movie theater?
Question submitted by mainmor.
Star Wars. At least it was only known as Star Wars back then. I would go with my older sister to work on the weekends. She worked at Liberty House in San Antonio Shopping Center, which was located across the street from the Old Mill Six theaters. I would wander the shopping center — yes, all by myself — as she put in her 6 to 8 hour work day. If I went to work with her, I had to be willing to occupy myself the whole day.
There are only so many times you can go to the San Antonio Hobby Shop or to the bookstore, and so, I would cross the street and go to the Old Mill Six theaters. I still remember the first scene: the music, the scrolling words, the laser fire, the smoke, and Darth Vader.

Sideshows Come to Sunnyvale?
I pull out of the house this morning around 7:00am. I get to the corner of Ahwahnee and Fair Oaks, the first major intersection I hit as I head into work. I stop at the red light and watch a guy in a black side-dented Chevy truck make a U-turn to go to south-bound 101, even though no u-turn is allow. The guy in the black Chevy truck proceeds to go around in circle, burning rubber in the intersection, as people wait to cross. He does this for about 4 or 5 circles, enough for the smoke and smell of burnt rubber to fill the air. Then he takes off, satisfied that he has made a spectacle of himself.
It’s nice to start the day with a nice dose of idiocy. I wonder what is going to happen the rest of the day.
