Friday Five

1. List five things you'd like to accomplish by the end of the year.

• Migrate from Webboard to Moodle--exciting, I know.
  
• Arrange for more tech jobs (have to get some extra money).
  
• Get broadband access at home.
  
• Get new tires for our van.
  
• Get Abby potty trained.
  

2. List five people you've lost contact with that you'd like to hear from again.

• Anne and Mary. I had a crush on Anne, but got past that and became great friends. Mary was her older sister. Both of them and their family we're always kind to me.
  
• Doug and Marie. Doug was my youth pastor, Marie was his wife. I still e-mail his daughters from time to time, but have lost contact with Doug and Marie.
  
• Josh. My best friend from high school. What's odd is that we did get in touch again, and then all of sudden, nothing. At least I can still get to his website--definitely NSFW though, and yes that would be him in the chicken suit.
  
• Jennifer. Yet another H.S. crush. Got over that, and just wish we'd been able to be friends. There seems to be a trend with this.
  
• Mike. As a friend, he was pretty inconsistent, especially after his divorce. Still, though, he was extremely loyal, which goes a long way with me. Apparently, he's moved into town again.
  

3. List five things you'd like to learn how to do.

• JavaScript.
  
• More HTML.
  
• Program in Visual Basic.
  
• Play MTG at Pro Tour level--hey, this is a priority. :)
  
• Program in C++. I think I'd rather learn guitar.
  

4. List five things you'd do if you won the lottery (no limit).

• Firstly, pay off all our debt.
  
• Set up a trust for Abby, well, our children.
  
• Rachel and I have always said we'd build homes for all our families if we had the money.
  
• Buy a lot of MTGO virtual cards.
  
• Sony VEGA.
  

5. List five things you do that help you relax.

• Sit and watch TV or a movie.
  
• Browse different blogs.
  
• Play MTG or MTGO.
  
• Read.
  
• Get my desk in order.
  

A much easier five than the last couple of Friday Fives.

Phriday Phun?

I've got most of my work for the day done, so it's time for a little break.

Oh yeah, here we go. Footwear of the Middle Ages.

Bob Booth's Primitive Weapons. Somewhere, Jakob Nielsen is twitching. Oh yeah, MIDI is from the devil.

Soccer goalie tackles a soccer fan. With video.

Weird. No, beyond that. I don't even have any words for it. The story speaks for itself.

Ok. That is all for now.
