…if you’ll permit me. Code Igniter rocks*. It was a geeky night for me. I watched an episode of Battlestar Galactica, then fiddled with Code Igniter for an hour that felt like ten minutes. I think I’m going to try and use CI for a website that will allow me to give friends and family the …
So next Wednesday (October 4th), I will be grading for my brown belt in judo. This will put me one step away from my shodan, or black belt. I’ll have to do an abbreviated set of the nage-no-kata (the forms of throwing), as demonstrated below: (The part that I have to do ends at the four-minute …

A castle suspended in the air winked reflected sunlight from crystal windows. Man’s first sun lay low to the horizon, a bulging red oval nearly kissing the edge of …
^^^That ain’t me. My new judogi came in tonight. It’s very blue. Also: I’ve become hopelessly addicted to the new Battlestar Galactica series. A co-worker (thanks, John!) loaned me the first couple DVDs the other day, and I watched them; now I’ve got the next three discs. Must… pace… myself. It was amusing, though, to show the …
