I've added titles to my posts so this is starting to feel more like a real blog now. It seems Google Finance has changed the layout of their site slightly, breaking my Stocks page in the process. The good news is that I've discovered they have an actual API that I should be using anyways, so I'll have that fixed in a few days hopefully.

I signed up for an account at Good Reads today (thanks Lois)! So I'll eventually be upgrading my Lists page to pull from there. I'll need to find a similar service for movies. I'm sure there's got to be one out there. Maybe I'll outsource this blog to an external service too and this whole site can just be a giant mashup.

I'm stoked for the French Open. Have my fingers crossed for yet another epic Fed-Nadal showdown. I'm rooting for my main man Fed of course. I figure with his recent victory in the Madrid Masters his chances are actually half decent.

After a month or so of falling off the fitness bandwagon, I'm back on yet again. I have a gentleman's wager with my friend John "Button" Hill that will take us racing up the notoriously punishing grouse grind on June 21.

What else? Conversational French started up for the summer, so I'm going once a week. My fair-weather tennis season has begun. I started reading A Passage to India by E.M. Forster and am liking it so far. Stuck Ubuntu on my laptop and am playing with VM's. My ultimate goal is to ween myself off Microsoft tech once and for all. Then I can work with Lois to push open source within government. The ideal would be to have every technology in our development stack and our servers be open source. I'd say give us two years, but we'll see, I guess. First I've got to get out of this furiously boring documentation that I'm stuck on and back to where I belong, in Vim, programming! I've recently turned down no less than 6 job offers in the last few weeks so that I could keep doing what I love, so I'd better get back to it soon.

I went to Vegas last weekend -- that was a blast. I was in Parksville for work the week before and that was really nice too. Summer's here as far as I'm concerned!
