A Happy Pumpkin...

SMC_Pumpkin_photo.jpg Sarah and I spent Friday morning looking for her Halloween pumpkin; after roaming the pumpkin patch for more than 15 minutes, she found the right one, it was love at first sight. :)

It Was May of 2004...

IMG_1127.jpg When we finished the renovation of our kitchen, we left gallons of sweat, tons of curses and among all that, we ended up with a very long statement from the Home Depot; Good times.

Today, that story is happening again, not so violently though...judge by yourselves:

Expanding our kitchen is a project that Luciana and I have poundering for over a year, but today we decided to go forward and cross the point of no return...

This is a rough view of the new area, with no wall, no roof:

Then, the wall came up along with several details: new wiring, insulation, skylights, raised floor, etc.

Now, this picture was taken on Thursday night:

And this one on Saturday night:

Hopefully this time we will not loose our steam, or better put it: let's hope that Sarah allow us to complete this project.

Back In The Day...

Almost 10 years ago I developed this mini-game for a U.S. Hockey team which I don't remember which one was:




The funny part of it is that you can still find it in the "cloud"... funnier is to see that people still play it -- but the funniest part -- is that the version above is the one that I intentionally release on which the computer always win.

If I remember correctly I was showing/proofing to someone that with very minor tweaks on the code you can make the game very "smart" or very "stupid", evidently I left the "smarty" one on the wild.

One of these days I will re-load my floppy disks, I'm sure I still have the source code of several mini apps I developed...Sarah will have a blast with some of them. (although I need to find a floppy drive first).

Another Year, Another Parade...

DSC_0021.jpg Is that time of the year again: Columbus Day Parade. Sarah will be among hundreds of people walking, marching, dancing through the streets of Baltimore, hopefully her dad will be in the back seat of some fancy Italian car (like last year).
