Yesterday was my last nn birthday, and if you know what that means then you're a huge nerd (like me and Em). If my memory serves, that means today is bilherron.com's 6th birthday. I think my first blog post ever, in typical navel-gazing blog fashion, was a complaint about who forgot to wish me a happy birthday. This year I'm moderately more well-adjusted, so I'm just happy about all the nice emails, myspace comments, calls and text messages I got. Thank you guys!
Here's the card I got at work today (click for larger version):
(If you can reach way back to middle school math, you'll remember that nn means I'm 33 = 27. I'm going to try to shoot for 44 (256), but I'll admit I might not get there)
I know this is kind of old, but I just saw it today, and it's pretty cool:
Yup, that's Providence's skyline in the background and the terrible soulless blank wall of Brown's Life Sciences building. Em's dad's company worked on the project, which I would imagine was quite an engineering feat.
I'm reading a book that insinuates that one of the characters is weird for picking up socks off the floor with his toes. Is this uncommon? I do it all the time and never thought anything of it but now I'm a little self-conscious.
Also, my second toe is a little longer than my big toe. Google didn't know what percentage of people have this trait, but it did tell me that the evil podiatry-industrial complex considers it a "disorder" and recommends consulting with your podiatrist. Go figure.
It had a good run, but my second generation iPod finally bit the dust this week. It was sad, yes, but progress marches on and I bought a refurbed 2 gig nano for $100. Since most kids these days don't remember what the old iPod looked like, here's some pics:
In the third one you can see the pry marks where I scuffed up case in the process of replacing the sketchy battery (thank you class action lawsuit, can't wait to use my $50 Apple Store credit on one of those new iMacs...)
As I was snapping these, it became evident that my entire desk is silver and white. I'm all Mac'd out, apparently. Even the rad painting from my friend Rachele matches!
