Birthday Party!

My 30th birthday party is on Tuesday, April 7th at 7:30pm. We've reserved all of Europa Bistro ( map ) - you can come for dinner or just drinks, but all are welcome. Just give me or (e:James) a heads up if you're planning on coming, so we can make sure we've got a good count.

Hope to see you there :)

Home Ownership!

So, my Dad has let me know that there's a 401k account of my mother's that he hasn't cashed in since she passed away a few years ago, and he's decided he wants to use it to help me with a down payment for a house. That coupled with the $8000 first time home buyer's credit ( ) means that I am pretty sure that I'm going to own my own place sometime this year.

James and I have talked, and the only downside is that we'd only buy something if we knew exactly where we were planning on living next year, and we've been talking pretty seriously about moving to Portland, Oregon or Austin, Texas.

Money certainly doesn't go as far outside Buffalo. For the price of a 2,000 sqft Victorian home here we could only get a really cute 1 bedroom condo in downtown Portland, like this:

Of course it would be in the middle of an awesome urban area that only gets 2" of snow every winter and has excellent public transit and career opportunities...

iPhone 3.0 SDK

The biggest news for me (aside from Copy&Paste) is that the SDK allows virtually unlimited access to hardware. Which means I can get one of these:



And build robots with iphones for brains. hooray!

18 Mile Creek

Thanks Paul, Matthew, Terry and James, it was a fun day :)

I took lots of photos, but most of the ones that looked good were the more abstract ones of the ice.

iPhone 3.0

Preview demo March 17, 2009

Will be nice to get a look at the new OS. Hopefully they'll have a dev release at that time too. Background processing would be just what I need for the apps I want to build.
