Where are they now?

(Not that anyone asked.) We’re in Wyoming tonight, halfway between our day in the Badlands today and camping at Yellowstone tomorrow. Here’s a picture of a rainstorm we drove through somewhere in the middle of South Dakota:

Christina sure does take a quality photo.

One more day in paradise

So tomorrow is my last day in Orlando. I don’t know if it was something I ate (Cheeburger Cheeburger, I’m looking at you) or just the stress of traveling, but I’ve felt sick to my stomach since yesterday afternoon, which is terrible timing. If I was going to get sick during this trip, I would have preferred it to happen anytime during the week, since I can still program just fine if I’m nauseous, but it’s awfully hard to enjoy the extra downtime of the weekend without being further than 20 feet from a bathroom (just in case).

The work portion of this week’s ScapeCon was productive. We planned out some new features that are going to rock your world once they’re released. I’m not kidding – the next time you feel the ground shake, or even if you stumble a little bit, that’s just us at Netscape, releasing new features and rocking your world.

I should probably get to sleep; I have to be up before 6 tomorrow to make it to the airport in time to catch my flight. (Hopefully the plane won’t be as packed as my two flights were on the way here.) Once home, Christina and I are road-tripping it to Yellowstone, so I’ll be offline for the majority of the next week.

Software isn’t the only thing I build

Christina and I just finished remodeling the stoop in front of our house. What used to be crumbling concrete steps covered in peeling outdoor carpet is now a wider and more inviting stairway complete with flower boxes and new handrails.

Except for the handrail parts, we designed and built it ourselves from scratch (scratch being a pile of treated 2×12 lumber and some plywood). Now it’s onto cleaning up the yard as it’s late April and winter has finally ended in Minnesota.

Life is good

It’s a Friday, Netscape 9 development is humming along, tonight is Casino Night at my wife’s work, I found and bought a Wii today, and tomorrow is my birthday. Life is good.

Best Week Wife Ever

I have the best wife ever. For Valentine’s Day, Christina got me Pixar’s Cars videogame for the Nintendo Wii with an “IOU One Wii” note attached. Then, we had a Super Nintendo MarioKart tournament (her idea). Oh, and her card to me included the phrase “If you were a booger, I’d pick you first.”

Sigh… How did I get so lucky?

It seemed like a good idea at the time

10:05 AM: “Oh, look!” said Christina. “Some cute little birdies! I shall feed them my leftover Tostitos!”

10:06 AM:

Hi Christina

Hi Christina, I love you!

Sorry Ladies, but I’m Off the Market

Christopher Finke — Sat, 10 Jul 2004 02:36:03 +0000

Yes, it’s true. Yesterday, July 8, I proposed to Christina Tewes, and she said yes, making it the happiest day of my life.
