I went to my first Hapkido class today. I have a very good (and respected) friend from work, who is already taking that class and he recommended it. I had high hopes for that class, maybe a little too high. It was a little bit underwhelming due to my overtly hyped expectations. It is definitely more exerting (physically) than Aikido. It combines the kicks from Taekwondo with the joint locks in Aikido....

After three days of not having any rice, I finally made some today. Is it just me or does every one well up a little bit when they are about to taste rice?So if I like rice so much, why don’t I make some every day, you ask. Well, I’m a lazy bum who doesn’t enjoy cooking as much as eating. There, I said it!

InnerVoice: That is latin for “Life is Short, Art is Long”. Me: Yeah, I know, I’m a little behind on my personal projects. InnerVoice: Try waaaaay behind. There are at least ten tabs open at home and five tabs open at work Me: I’ll get to it. They are not going anywhere. InnerVoice: BTW, those unread emails with some tutorial links isn’t gonna master itself, you know. Me: Hmmm….. InnerVoice: Are you even listening to me?...

I heard about the Movember Movement at Ignite SLC #6. I decided it is high time I use my facial hair for something useful (other than impressing the missus). Shout out to Clark Winegar of Mustache Power for his Movember presentation @ Ignite. ◀ 1 of 2 ▶

I went to a Beans and Brews in American Fork to get some work done. It was a total disaster: I decided to try dirty Chai (Chai w/ espresso ) which tasted terrible. I got no work done, thanks to the noisy coffee grinder and their horrible excuse for a music. My netbook was having too many problems and I gave up trying to get any work done on it....
