Here’s a pictoral update of things at my condo. I’ve got a few before and after comparisons.

BEFORE

Video game systems everywhere

Huge mess…
AFTER

Video game systems tucked away. Now featuring Spiderman! Still have crap in the corner near the window, but that is necessary for window shade replacement.

Clean and with couch and loveseat! That Vietnamese artwork in the [...]

I’m working on an web-based database to track spending. Anyone can play with it at www.trackyourspending.com using username fool and password fool (I created the fake account for people at the Fool.com message boards to try). There are still many, many things to fix and complete. For example, you can’t edit a transaction, you have [...]

What the hell? Bob Edwards rocks as the host of NPR’s Morning Edition. Replacing him is heresy. And so close to the 25th anniversary of Morning Edition too. It’s a slap in the face. News in the morning will never be the same.

I have internet! Woooooooooo!

My condo’s still a mess, but at least I had an opportunity to buy some food yesterday. I also have cable (but no TV yet) and cable internet should be activated soon. I’ve actually gotten used to not having internet at home, but I still want it. I really haven’t spent all that much time [...]

This is my first night sleeping in my condo. Feels weird that this place is mine. There’s so much to do, which is why I’m not getting to bed until 2 A.M. despite having work tomorrow. Cable is getting installed on Tuesday and I should have internet that same day. Right now I’m using my [...]
