April and such
So, the end of March and April came and went. In there I had Mooney stop by for a few days which was a lot of fun. I played in my first Magic: The Gathering tournament and took second of 12 people. The new quarter started and is now 1/2 over. In general things are carrying on as normal here in CA. The weather has been fairly good with a week or two of cold & rain.
I saw Mike Doughty this past week at a tiny venue and loved it. Here's a track off his live cd, it's "White Lexus" tumblr link. Easily one of my favorite songs of his and he played it that night, which was appreciated. He also had a question jar where people in the crowd could write down questions and he'd answer them throughout the show. Some favorites of mine were:
Q: If I eat you will I gain your powers?
A: Yes but I would ask that you kindly refrain from eating me
Q: GI Joe taught us that knowing is 1/2 the battle. What is the other 1/2?
A: Being groovy. Knowing and being groovy is 100% of the battle
Q: How did you become so awesome?
A: There was once this dude that was awesome and I ate him
School wise I've been doing a lot of reading on security which has been fun. I'm doing a class project involving steganalysis and I'm digging that. Not where my career is going but fun to learn about and lay down some code for. I've also been playing with VMware and learning a lot more about compiling things into the linux kernel and all the fun that comes with that.
In closing, Happy Mothers day to all the Mothers out there. Thanks for all that you do, much of which goes unseen and unrecognized.
