Sweet Candy

Happy belated Easter to everyone. I hope everyone a good day.

As mentioned last time, part of my Easter sunday was spent on lombard st. watching people dress up in unncessary costumes as they hurtled down the crookedest street in the world.

Last year there were around 30 racers; this year they had easily over 100. there so many people at this years event that the organiser is concerned about next years event. apparently the homeowners on lombard weren’t too thrilled about the amount of people hanging out in their flowers. fortunately the organiser was able to get enough donations to pay for all the damages.

Also, sunday was spent watching Planet Earth. i’ve watched several sporting events in high def, and the super bowl was the only one that actually left an impression. however every episode of seen so far has been spectacular. this show is easily one of the most powerful messages to help promote the conservation of the planet. the last four episodes are on this sunday, and the following weekend at 8pm and 9pm on the Discovery channel.

Here’s a fairly interesting read about the death of Microsoft. it’s not that the company is going to filing for chapter 11 anytime soon, it’s just that the shadow that it casts is only a fraction of what it used to be and will be shrinking exponentially unless some serious changes are made.

not much else has been going on except sending my camera of to Canon to have it fixed, trying to find a new jacket at Patagonia, and gearing up for the NHL playoffs. let’s pray my roommate doesn’t go in to cardiac arrest when he’s screaming for the sharks. oh, and if you didn’t notice, the braves swept the phillies, took the series against the mets, and have beat the hapless nationals twice. all in all, an excellent start to the season.
