Can't decide lunch?
1/31/2009
This is going to just be a quick post about something random I added to the website. My friends and I sometimes have a hard time deciding where to have lunch when we go out while we are at work. The idea of a tool to help us decide came up, so I made one and put it on this site.
Here is the tool or you can find it under the 'stuff' section. It allows you to create a tournament style bracket of 2-16 places and then it generates the result randomly by having 11 'matchups' between each two places. The winner is displayed after all the rounds have been played.
It may not be very useful to you if you live somewhere other than Rochester, but if you really want it I can make versions for other places too. If you are from Rochester and want a food place added, then just get in contact with me and ask.
Also, Happy Birthday Todd (though technically yesterday was his birthday).

I never realized how weird I feel if I go out without my glasses until this past weekend. I went the weekend without wearing them because I've been experiencing discomfort in my left eye. When I went out to Best Buy on Saturday it definitely felt like I was missing something. It's odd how those things matter so much when you don't have them.
I will be starting work this week, so that should be exciting. It will be good to start again because I'm starting to get a little bored just sitting around the house doing random tasks.
As promised, here are some pictures of the view from my place. Click the picture to make it bigger.
The webcam also points in a different direction than both of these new pictures, so take a look there too to see that view.

Go Cubs Go
6/27/2007
The Cubs are currently in a 6 game winning streak in which they have been hitting very well. The pitching has been pretty good too, except for a few games. The other night the Cubs let 5 or 6 runs score in the 9th inning. They blew a 5 run lead and then had to win the game in the bottom of the 9th on a Soriano 2-run single. It was pretty exciting though. It seems like this team is finally starting to get good, like they are supposed to be.
There really isn't much new with me. I've just been working and hanging out. I started riding my bike to work now, since it's not that far away. I'll probably do it every day now as long as it isn't really hot out or any chance of rain.
Cubs play the Brewers this weekend. It's a pretty important series since the Cubs can narrow the Brewers lead on the division. Also, both teams are really hot right now so the games should be fun to watch.
