Now that the weather is finally shaping up in Seattle, I have been taking my new friend to the dog park and having fun in the sun. My dog is a 5 month old blue dapple Dachshund named Lily. Anybody else have a dog? Post pics!
Also, let me know if you have any training suggestions! This is my first dog (didnât have one growing up) and I have been learning along the way.
I was in Costa Rica all last week and had a couple of interesting things happen.
1) Monkeys really do fling their poo. And they have pretty good aim as well. We had monkeys outside of the house the entire trip and it was amazing.
2) My friends and I went down to a hotel for dessert one night. This place is in the middle of nowhere. We were eating and my friend looked behind him and sitting on a table was a copy of my Uberplay’s High Society game that people could play while eating. The only other games they had there was Rubikub. I was completely shocked as you can imagine. I would be shocked if I saw the game in the US but in the middle of Costa Rica – just bizarre.
A dreary day today, looks like.
And if your name is Julia, and today is your birthday, this is for you!

Article about that experience, and about elevators in general
Dunno how I’d do in that situation. I hope I would have a notepad and pen with me, then I’d be ok.
Well, it looks like I have forgotten Leaderboard prizes – again!
This time you all let me go two months!
They are all awarded now, so if you notice a boon to your TangaCash this is why.
Congrats to our Leaderboard Leaders!
I’m giving Dinners Ready a spin. It’s not terribly expensive, about $35 per person per week of prepared dinners. (of course, you could cook your own for much cheaper, but with the baby, I’m feeling lazy)
Anyone have any experiences with services like that where you “outsource” part of your normal routine/chores to others?
Based on my reading of this article, I got a new camera, and I am enjoying it.
I got a Canon Digital Rebel Xt, here’s a review.
I just got the base camera set, and then for lens I got a Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Standard & Medium Telephoto Lens. The lens cost almost as much as the camera!
8 GB compact flash cards can be bought for $37 now at newegg.com.
You can see some of the pictures I took on my flickr page. I don’t know anything about photography and this camera is such a huge step up from the Point and Shoot one I used to have. The pictures I’m taking don’t suck quite as much.
So, camera talk! What’s good reading for beginner photographists? What have you found useful?
So here it is.
I’m still on a baby high this week, my son Dashell (Dash) Clay Van Dyk was born last Friday (Pi Day!) and he is awesome. He even already has his own gmail and facebook account, got to start them off right, you know.
One of the things I’m looking of doing next is writing a facebook application for Tanga. There is one already written by the good man Scott Alden from BGG, but it’s pretty limited. For you facebook users, what would you like to see in the Tanga application?
Are there any other ways that we could integrate Tanga content into other sites?
