Travel update:
India vacation coming up from 31st May to 16th June. I'll mostly be in Bangalore.
Join in the parties if you'll be around.
One also desires to have a pythagonal road-trip, but it might be too difficult to pull
off given the tight schedule.
Running Update:
(thanks for the gentle reminders)
Six more runs since the last update:
- 3 3.5 miles runs around shoreline
- 1 3.5 mile stanford dish loop
- 1 3.5 mile San Aquino trail
The heatwave has moved all running to treadmill indoors since the past few days.
2 treadmill sessions. 5 miles each.
This activity is going to take a significant hit in the next few weeks. Refer travel update
above and other updates below.
Other updates:
After weeks of Guitar Hero, finally I'll lay it down to rest today and pick up the latest
toy I picked up from my fav local store in the morning. Wii Fit is finally here!! Can't
wait to get home and try it out. Will put out a review soon...

04:50 pm - Rock and Rockies update
The Indian Independence day reminded me that I didn't mention my second Rocky Mountains National Park trip on 4th of july. This time around we did a two day trek starting from Grand Lake, going over the flat top mountains, and finally ending at Bear lake. My friend and accomplice, the Theoretical Joker, put up an entry about it here.
Spent lot of July summertime in concerts ranging from Alka Yagnik/Kumar Sanu to Indian Ocean, String Cheese Incident, and Roger Waters.
Also caught a local presentation of Neil Simon play - they are playing our song - and a stand-up riot at San Jose Improv. All other days, I have been hiding in my cube working on obscure problems.
That's all for the updates since I have been gone from LJ world. Your turn now - what have you been up to?

12:25 am - life update
While the journal was gathering moss, I have:
- Managed to get a lot done at work. Though I am still not where I should be, but it could have been a lot worse.
- Spent many a nights at office and had many pizzas for dinner. Both me and my code have gained considerable bloat.
- Spent memorial day weekend at L.A. and San Diego. Much fun was had.
- Caught up with my SFF reading - Bujold's Cetaganda and Ethan of Athos, Simmon's Ilium, and RCW's Spin.
- Replaced songs with audio book in car and at gym. Half way through 'Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell'
- Settled down with my Treo and adjusted to its faults and shortcomings. Its hunger for batteries still keeps getting me in trouble.
- Attended A R Rahman's concert in Oakland. Great performers and extremely bad sound engineering.
- Decided to buy Wii. Still looking out for deals and packages. All ideas welcome.
