I point to an article covering an open source development toolkit for the GameBoy Advance in my other blog, The Farm.

At last, the birthday hot tub photos!

I’ve been getting email asking for photos from the hot tub all day, so here they are!

First, a look at the Hot Tub Truck from the side:

And now, from the back. That’s Michelle Turingan flipping the bird. As you’ll see in later pictures, she likes to do that.

For the rest of the photos, click here or on the picture below:

Tub preview number 2

I have about 300 photos to sort through, so it may take a few more hours before those birthday party / hot tub photos go online. However, since some people are bored at work, here’s another photo from the tub.

If I ever release a country album, this has to be the album cover:

Belated birthday shout-outs

Happy birthday to two geeks who have my respect and admiration: Jamie “jwz” Zawinski and Aaron “aaronsw” Swartz!

Aaron turned 17, a fine age. Why, I remember that when I was 17, it was a very good year. There was this girl, see, and…

Hmmm.

On second thought, Aaron, buy a good WWI-style army helmet with a wide brim. As my buddy Festus used to say, “Sometimes the shit comes down so heavy, you have to wear a hat.”

You’re welcome, Eldon

Eldon emailed me this thank-you note for the party. You’re welcome, dude!

Photo: Church sign with thank you message.

Eldon added to the surreality of the party by not only being one of the few, the proud and brave to enter the hot tub; he also did it in a (brrrr) Speedo!

Girls who remember him from Crazy Go Nuts University are hereby entitled to take the day off for emotional trauma that that mental image may have caused.

WiFi meetup Wednesday

Accordion City’s having a WiFi meetup this Wednesday at 7:00 pm at the very nice cafe/lounge SpaHa (the name is an amalgam of the street intersection where it’s located: SPAdina and HArbord). I’ll be there, as will Boss Ross and a number of WiFi users of all stripes, from hardcore Pringles can antenna hackers to just plain ol’ folks who like the idea of being able to hop online without wires.
