Beautiful Weather

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I had a nice trip to Madison, Wisconsin on Tuesday and Wednesday. Just been busy here. I have a relatively big talk to give on Tuesday so I've been getting ready for that. Somehow between when I left on Monday and I got back on Thursday the anticipated audience for the talk increased tremendously, so I really need to get my stuff together.

Anyway, the weather here has been unbelievable for November (76 degress today). I spent about 3 hours this morning outside for our monthly Aikido in the park class and I wore a t-shirt and shorts and was very comfortable. Mainly cooking (for the rest of the week) and cleaning for the rest of the day. I may try to watch Throne of Blood today, Akira Kurosawa's adaptation of MacBeth.

If you're a fan of animated shorts you might like one of the following animated short series I tend to monitor from time to time.

Strong Bad - The most popular section of homestarrunner.com, a crazy character wearing a Mexican wrestling mask and boxing gloves answers e-mails. Click here for the classic Trogdor episode.

Weebl and Bob - Very odd group of generally very difficult to understand characters with an obsession for pie. Anyone who has shortened "Hello" to "lo" is good in my book. Click here to see one of my favorite episodes.

Neurotically Yours - My friend Jody got me into these toons. The voice acting is a little weak but I like the characters. Click here for a good one.
