the time that i made a diagram of my home environment

Monday 28 April 2008 @ 11:53 pm by ryan rutledge
  

so i’m sitting there working on some random things and i suddenly come to this realization that i am sitting amidst a multi-taskers dream environment …

yay for multitasking!

okay, now i really wasn’t pulling reports for work (it was just out for e-mail checking) but it adds to the nice effect.

so yeah, a site redesign is in the works. the hope is to make everything a bit more visual and turn this into more of a photo-oriented blog. here’s to hoping the next 3G iPhone sports a 5 megapixel camera. if not then i suppose i might have to buy a decent digital camera.

on to more exciting things … i totally kicked ass this sunday during softball. and by “kicked ass”, i really mean that i was able to hit the ball and still have it be fair. 3 hits. 2 runs. just so we’re all on the same page … these weren’t great hits, i won’t lie. one of them only went three or four feet (i kid you not). the thing that matters is that i actually hit them and the were all fair (something i couldn’t do during the two previous practices). i only struck out once and that was during the second game when i was called in to be someone’s substitute at the last minute. i’m chalking that screw up to not being in a softball-playing state of mind (yeah, i can come up with an excuse to justify pretty much everything i do). all in all, it was a rather good sunday morning of softball. we lost our first game, but only by one point which was rather great (they were a pretty good team). the only bad thing is that i’m beyond sore now. i could barely move today. my legs aren’t cooperating much. i can’t seem to lift them high enough to even set them on the coffee table. i knew i was out of shape, but i didn’t think i was this out of shape.

after much work i’ve finally figured out the best way to get the HD content off my tivo and cropped and adjusted to look normal in flash. yay for fancy macs being able to do everything so easily … the file is a bit large, i still need to work on adjusting some more settings to get it down a bit.

the time that i played softball and was horrible at it

today was the first day of softball and whoa did i suck. i mean, wow. what an embarrassment i was. my glove is all stiff and i throw like a chimp. plus i can’t swing a bat and hit a ball to save my life. i left practice and all i had was a broken ego and a bruised hand:

besides the softball it was a rather enjoyable weekend. joe was in town and we went to see forgetting sarah marshall, which was pretty freaking awesome. yesterday we ran around town doing my errands, getting my glasses fixed, taking a trip to ikea, etc. good times overall.

more later.
