Just got back from a short trip to Chicago for the President’s Day/Valentine’s Day weekend (I try to coordinate my trips to Chicago with President Obama, when possible). So here are a couple blog-worthy items:

More Random Cool Stuff
That last post I did about Random Cool Stuff turned out pretty well, so I’m continuing an already successful tradition!

Interesting Things
It’s official, I’m going to the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics! Hooray and huzzah! Of course, I’m going as a spectator. As soon as they make excessive geekiness an Olympic sport, I’ll be proud to represent the country. Anyway, I got tickets to see ice hockey and short track speed skating, and even though the Winter Olympics are more than a year away, I’m already ridiculously pumped. I’ve always wanted to attend the Olympics, and now that dream will be a reality! Man, going to the Olympics! SWEET!

Dominican Republic
In faster-than-usual fashion, pictures from my recent trip to the Dominican Republic are now available in the gallery. I took well over 400 pictures during this trip, although there are only around 150 or so uploaded, mostly because some of the pictures are redundant and, well, 400 is a lot!
Although you can certainly view all the pictures from the gallery on my blog, in a very small number of cases where the picture caption is particularly long, they may get cut off (due, I believe, to a small technical issue with Shadowbox JS). Also, due to another technical issue (maybe kPicasa Gallery?), videos don’t seem to be working through the gallery (there are only 4 or so, so not a substantial amount). If you want the full, unadulterated viewing experience–i.e., no captions ever clipped, and videos–you can view the album at my Picasa Web Albums page.

Rain Rain Go Away
So, instead of playing with this new piece of consumer electronics and actually enjoying my last day in Chicago with the family, instead I’m fending off basement flooding. Oh, the benefits of living on a hill…
