i used to go to lots of local concerts, there were bars i would just go to on friday or saturday even if i didn’t know if anyone good was playing. i doubt i can do that anymore with my more busier lifestyle now, but i’ve only gone to three concerts since i moved to l.a. last august. three! in l.a.! there are great shows every other minute here!

i need to get back on the ball.

we (my girlfriend and i) moved to l.a. last summer from boston.

sometime i want to hop in my car on a friday night after work, drive to vegas, get there 1 or 2 am, people-watch in all the casinos and gamble weird, stupid bets, have breakfast somewhere when the sun comes up, and then see sight-seeing things in the morning and leave in the afternoon, be home by dark.

it’s marginally unsafe i guess to drive that far when you’ve been up for 36 hours, but i really want to. maybe i could take a little nap between work and leaving so it wouldn’t be 36 straight hours.

in an excursion from my usual coding platforms, i wrote a javascript gadget for practicing typing different types of keyboard layouts (http://www.google.com/ig/directory?q=dvorak&root=%2Fig&dpos=top&url=hosting.gmodules.com/ig/gadgets/file/114194522664212901366/dvorak_typing_practice.xml)

it was great to apply my programming interests to something without a corporate purpose again! i want to do more!
