Following in the footsteps of Shana and Tyler, I too have decided to change jobs. Is it something in the air? Starting January 7th, I’ll be working for Avago Technologies in their ASIC design lab.

Xmas tree
Look, we're all festive and stuff:
The best part is that it's rosemary, so I can eat it when we're done.

History of Programming
Good morning geeks.
This page has a cool timeline of programming languages from Fortran to Java:

Bread In A Can
I'm sure this type of thing has been around for a while, but I just stumbled on it while looking for some baked beans:
It tastes how you would expect some bread from a can to taste. But it's still better than Vegemite.

Snow Day
It took all the way until the middle of December, but Christine and I finally got our ski season kicked off today at Winter Park. Our original plan was to stay closer to home and go to Eldora, but we made an early morning decision to check out some of the 6 inches that Winter Park was reporting.
It was a rough ride down from Fort Collins, with fog and slick roads all the way down I-25. In the end, it took us 3 hours to get to the resort and we were second guessing our decision to go to Winter Park. Once we got onto the snow, however, we were glad we came.
I'm used to ski resort over reporting their snow totals, so I was pleasantly surprised to see a full 6 inches (and then some) on the the slopes. Unbelievable conditions today. From the first run to the last, we were skiing through knee deep powder. Beautiful.
Sure beats work!

Smart Playlists
I learned something new about the smart playlists on my iPod yesterday.
I have a smart playlist called "New Podcasts" which, as you would expect, contains all the podcasts that I haven't listened to yet. The rulesare were:
This correctly created the playlist for me, but when I would finish a podcast they weren't disappearing from the list (even though their play count no longer fits the criteria). It turns out that some playlist rules keep the live updating from working. My new smart playlist rules are:
Now my podcasts are correctly removed from the playlist after I listen to them.
Bored yet?
(I found out about this here.)
