Web site updates – added MediaWiki
In addition to hosting my blog directly, I’ve installed MediaWiki’s wiki tool. I’ve become co-manager of the MediaWiki implementation at work, so I figured I should install it here. It was fast and easy to get the wiki set up; the longest parts were FTPing the files to my web site and getting the MySQL […]

Hopefully this is my blog’s new home
I’ve installed WordPress on my web site, which took perhaps 5 minutes, and moved my blog entries over here, which took perhaps 20 minutes. I’ve used a free template I found that looks okay along with some widgets. I’ll do more formatting after I take some time to catch up on entries.

Sawtelle and Govindas
Got to kick everyone out of work early today. So, Aviva and I took a trip into West Hollywood. First, we stopped on Sawtelle. This is yet another Japanese area, with a few really cool stores like Giant Robot, which is a cool store that sells Japanese toys, books, and just general stuff; I bought […]

Still getting moved over
I’ve still got to finish moving the images over to my blog, then I’ll start adding some new entries. Most will be in the past, for example some of things we’ve done in Los Angeles. I’ll probably add a page to my travelogue for our trip out here (we drove from Chicago, IL, to Westlake […]

Switching blog tools
I haven’t posted anything new, although so much has changed in my life lately. Why? Turns out the company (and author) of the blogging software I’d been using, iblog, has left it in a semi-finished state that won’t run on Leopard (MacOS X 10.5); I’ll never buy anything from them again and suggest you don’t […]

Chinatown in Los Angeles

The Getty Villa
We went to the Getty Villa to celebrate Aviva’s birthday. The Villa is located in Malibu across from the ocean on a hillside. The building is modeled after an Italian villa; one part is designed after Hadrian’s villa. The collection is centered on art of the ancient world. There are two gardens, call peristyles, one […]

We bought two cool things, a glass object with what looks like a jelly fish inside (its just glass, but its very cool looking), and a […]

Soda Can Robug
I assembled a soda can Robug from a kit. I bought the kit at a book sale in the lobby of my office building yesterday; I had to bring in a small philips head screwdriver to complete the project. I built it while waiting for the post-release meeting to start early today (we rolled our […]
