Just got back from watching the San Jose Sharks vs. the Chicago Blackhawks at the HP Pavilion San Jose Arena. It’s the first time I’ve gone to a live hockey game. It was quite exciting. The Sharks were able to catch up 2-2 but they lost in overtime. Thanks go out to my boss for giving us, at the last minute, the tickets which were for luxury box seats. Little did he know that today is the anniversary of my first date with O (the Lord has a way of working these things out). We brought along with us O’s sis and her husband.

I forgot to shave today, which is a work day. This is probably the third time this has happened to me in my entire working life. Oh well, I suppose my unkempt look keeps up with my casual Friday attire.

(Ack, my blog is turning into the “woke-up-got-ready-went-to-work-ate-lunch-went-home-had-dinner-good-night” type of blog I’ve always dreaded of it becoming)

Hey, a whole week without a blog entry. Lately I’ve been obsessing about my new mode of transportation. It has definitely made my commute easier. It’s compact, energy-efficient and convenient. It’s a…bike! A folding bike by Dahon, to be exact. I can take it on the train and on the bus with me. It’s a great conversation starter. When I took an Amtrak train this past Saturday, the conductor liked my bike and asked me where he could get one. He needed a means to get around Sacramento during his two hour layover. I referred him to Dahon’s website. He in turn let me have a free ride!

This bike also gives me a nice cardiovascular workout. I bike about 3 miles each way to and from the train station. On my last yearly check-up, my doctor asked me if I exercised regularly and I said no. But now I can confidently say that I do. And with gas prices rising past $2.00 a gallon, I feel I definitely made the right move (not that I had a choice). The only problem is the weather forecast for the next couple of days here in the Bay Area is rain! Yikes.

PhilMUG Forums get a facelift. Great work from Ernie.

Macromedia has a new site design. Hmmm, sorta has that HP look.
