DAY 1 - RIDE 1 - VEHICLE 1
Bethanie attends dance class on Mondays (ballet) and Thursdays (traditional Chinese). Angie takes her on Mondays and I take her on Thursdays. When I take her, we leave about 5:15PM and she has class from 6 to 7:30… actually it is about 7:45 before she is done and ready [...]

A couple more flash games for ya… I love ‘em, but usually tire of them quickly.
I’m still working on these 2 though.
Both are puzzle-type… and aren’t easy at all.
The links will open in a new window.
Bloxorz - flip a 1×2 block through some terrain to get to the goal… you’ll probably need to play this a [...]

This is so cool…
www.dailylit.com
From the website:
We created DailyLit because we spent hours each day on email but could not find the time to read a book. Now the books come to us by email. Problem solved.

In writing about the former Nebraska Cornhusker and #2 MLB Draft pick, Evans writes,

Let me make this clear. I’m not a Microsoft aplogist. I just want tools that help me get my work done.
But we’ve got to give credit where it is due… right?
When I was working in the computer industry… I attended a cool seminar given by Microsoft where they demo’d Office 97 and whatever server package [...]

Back in March 2006 I wrote:
If you are here… I guess you found us somehow… I’m going to change this theme at some point, but for now I hope you like “Gentle Calm”. It seems like it works and with moving, etc in our house right now… we could use all the “gentle calm” we [...]

Taiwanese can’t swim.
Of course I don’t mean that ALL Taiwanese can’t swim… just that in general… most Taiwanese can’t swim.
