Taken at 7-Eleven?

I’m having a great time visiting my brother and his family. Lazy Saturday!

My dad got a new heart and Aaron and Un-ho got me to Ann Arbor from Houghton!

Thanks guys!

Learned a whole bunch about improving site performance today on two different conference calls.

The Google Translate App for the iPhone is amazing. Thanks to Jacqui Cheng from Ars Technica for pointing it out. I’m going to have a lot of fun AND learning with this app. http://t.co/hzeuCuK

Dan, thanks for sending me this!

Click if you wanna buy it!

Looks like we’ll have a total lunar eclipse tonight. According to NASA and EarthSky, around 317a EST is the best time for us in the Eastern Time Zone to catch this.

I had a great Thanksgiving with my family yesterday at my cousin’s. Thanks for hosting Lilly.

Also, good fun that you’re playing Words with Friends with me now.

Nathan was cute as ever and getting bigger so quickly.

In fact, there’s only one practice that’s been proven, without question, to preserve your memory: exercise. “A****erobic activities tend to show larger effects than non-aerobic activities,” University of Pittsburgh psychologist Kirk Erickson tells Yahoo.

I read that on this article: http://shine.yahoo.com/event/vitality/the-number-one-way-to-improve-your-memory-2401728/

The only other thing to help prevent symptoms of Alzheimer’s, from what I learned on the HBO documentary as well as a study by TIME Magazine, was to have large social networks as well as those who teach. It seems that those engaged with more people in their social network as well as those who participated in exercising the mind, via teaching, for instance, showed the least signs of the horrible disease.

Holy cow!!!

Wow, this is amazing!!!

Solipskier

I was looking for a way to delete large attachments in my Gmail. Gmail doesn’t offer a sort by size feature, so I figured I’d do a little Googling. It led me to this:

Sort Gmail by Subject, Labels, and Senders to Organize your Inbox

In doing that, I found this nice trick (from the page above):

Though Gmail provide hundreds of thousands of inbox memory (at present 7400MB), then to you can run out of space. In such a case search for “has:attachment from:me label:sent” which will list mails sent by you and have a attachment. You can safely delete them to get some extra space.

I was trying to configure Pidgin on my Ubuntu build at work, but the general help Google offers via their Help site doesn’t work. You have to go to the Advanced Tab when adding your Google Apps Talk account and set the connect server to talk.google.com. You might as well change the file transfer proxies setting to talk.google.com as well. See attached.

10 years ago today, right around now, I was at my mom and dad’s house with my groomsmen, aunts, and uncle. Sadly, my visiting aunts and uncle have since passed on, but I’ll never forget them coming here for the first and only time in their lives.

We were laughing, getting tuxedos on, drinking mimosas, and eating some Greek pastries. I was so excited. I’ve wanted to marry Michelle since damn near the time I met her in Junior High School. And on this day, that was happening. Thank you Michelle, for giving me 10 great years and 2 beautiful boys.
