Bye Steve

It seemed clear not long was left when he resigned. Sigh.

Thanks for all the insanely great stuff Steve.

I Won a Box of Nerds from @KenJennings

In the geography quiz he gave I knew that the exclave of Cabinda is administrated by Angola. Woo!

Ken Jennings was here promoting his new book Maphead. Of course, my favorite map related thing is still the Random Spot Tool that I made for my Random Trips a few years back.

Finally Done Done Done

A 26 foot truck the first weekend. One trip to empty our storage space, one to start moving the actual house. Second weekend a 16 foot truck. Two trips. Third weekend another 16 footer. We ended up keeping for it over a week instead of the scheduled 48 hours so we could just finish. At least three trips. Maybe more. At some point we lost count. But now everything is moved. The old house is empty. Maybe now I can sleep?

14609.6880 Days

Well well, here we are. As of this moment… 16 Sep 2011 at 13:28 UTC (6:28 AM Pacific, 9:28 AM Eastern) I am the number of days old listed in the subject, which also happens to be equal to a number of years that ends in a zero, and starts with a 4. Yes, indeed, I am 400 years old. Oh, woops. Wrong number of zeros. But yeah. 40. Woo?

Of course, I have pre-scheduled this post. At the actual time mentioned, I hope to be asleep.
