Doug's photo blog — originally a photo a day, now not so much
On a fairly regular basis people bring in food and put it in our lunch room. Not often, though, is it two entire boxes of donuts. These were courtesy of one of our sales guys.
We use MythTV to record all of our TV. One nice thing is that I can stream my TV shows to my desktop PC or even the laptop, meaning I don’t have to be at the TV in order to watch something. Tonight I was able to chat with people over IM and read my email while I watched This Old House.
Roasted beets!
This paltry amount of food, believe it or not, was 3 good-sized beets when they went into the oven an hour ago. Now they are like candy… candy that’s actually good for you.
On the road again…
We continue to go to open houses to keep on top of the market. Lis’s TomTom has been invaluable in teaching us how to get to (and around within) Newton and Needham.
No lifeguard on duty.
We received an offer on our house today. I’m not gonna say any more than that on this public blog.
Compare and contrast…
Some coworkers and I took advantage of the good weather today to go across the street to get lunch.
Allergy drugs so I can breathe at night and not keep Lis awake with my snoring: $20
Dealing with our pain-in-the-ass mail-order pharmacy: priceless.
2009, meet 1999.
I took advantage of Circuit City’s going out of business to buy myself a new pocket-sized camera. It will see use primarily for this very Project 365 (in fact, it did for yesterday’s photo), but I will also use it for travel & social events where the DSLR is a chore.
The new camera is much smaller, much snappier, has a very nice screen, and a quite useful 28-280mm (equivalent) zoom range. I hope it serves me as well as its predecessor.
