8:33am; 8:33am; 8:35am; 8:36am; 8:39am; 8:44am; 8:46am; 8:47am; 8:51am; 9:01am; 9:02am; 9:05am; 9:07am; 9:09am; 9:11am; 9:12am; 9:16am; 9:16am; 9:17am; 9:18am; 9:19am; 9:20am; 9:22am; 9:23am; 9:24am; 9:27am; 9:28am; 9:28am; 9:29am; 9:29am; 9:29am; 9:29am.

I did it on a Saturday... so not quite the same. (There are more people, and I start my walk earlier.)

X-mas weekend

Here's a bit of what I did on x-mas weekend.

Here's some stuffing. Putting the duck in the stove. Looks tasty I better have a plate.

After the food is gone, I better play some games.

XP on Mac

I just updated to the new Parallels Beta. Now you add Windows XP applications to your Mac task bar.

Here's a screenshot of my two monitors: click here.

Mac with XP

Parallels Desktop for Mac is an interesting product. With it you can run Window XP on your mac. I was able to have Windows XP windows and my Mac OS X windows co-exist. Have a look!

Natalie and Natasha

While mom's away, Natasha and Auntie play. Molly's trying to be in the picture too!

NY Knicks

My friend, David, and I went to the NY Knicks game on Saturday.

Some pictures from the game: Picture 1; Picture 2; Picture 3; Picture 4; Picture 5; Picture 6; Picture 7.

The game was exciting. The Knicks came alive in the third quarter and started the fourth with a commanding lead. Their performance for the first minutes of the fourth quarter was—to say the least—lackluster. Eventually they woke up, and they won the game.

After the game, we met our friends Andrew and Mirae. We had a small snack.

Santa Visits

Santa visited Whitewood. He even met some bad children: Brittany; Laine; Lawson; and Kennedy.

Getting a Wii

On November 19th, 2006, Nintendo launched its new game console, the Wii, in North America. For some reason, I decided I should get one.

I arrived at the Jersey City Target at around 4:14am. There was already a substantial line. It turned out that I was number 50. The store had 63 units in stock, so I got one.

I carefully opened it. There was lots of stuff inside.

The unit is quite small. Not much bigger than my hand.

Using the system is comfortable (the big innovation is the motion-sensing controllers). Here's a character I made. The system came with Wii Sports, and I bought a couple games, including Trauma Center and Zelda.
