So I now have a new laptop, have a new monitor on the way, and thought it would be a good idea to get a full-sized keyboard. Where else to look but Craigslist, right? Very quickly, I found one on their for the low, low price of $2. So I wrote to ask if it was still available, and whether it would be compatible with my computer. Below is an email transcript:
----------------------
(me) I writing in reference to the keyboard that you listed for sale. Is that still available? If so, can you tell me if it has a USB or PS/2 connector?
Thanks,
Adam
(him) It's for a computer and the conector fits the key bord slot on the back of a computer only
----------------------
That was reassuring! Guess I'll be shopping around a bit more. :)

Biking Mercer Island
With a beautiful Sunday in front of me, and not much else to do, I decided to bike over to Mercer Island, a well-to-do neighborhood situated in the middle of Lake Washington. I had never ventured very far off the highway exits, so this was new territory for me. It was also new for me to bike in the bike lane alongside I-90. As expected the island is filled with lavish houses and lots of vegetation. The most pleasant surprise was how the whole island smelled like ripe blackberries ('tis the season). Made me want to come home and make some blackberry cobbler for...me. Yeah, not so exciting.
Anyhow, the ride was between 34 and 37 miles (my bike computer and Google Maps disagree), and I was definitely ready to be done when I got home. It didn't help that as I turned the last corner to my house, the wind picked up to 10-15 mph in my face. The psychology of being close to the finish line is really quite strong.
I've tried to plot my route on a Google Maps mashup, but it didn't come out so good. If my GPS hadn't acted kooky (it had me somewhere over on Vashon Island), I might've just downloaded that track. But whatever.

Phase 2 of deck is complete
I built the patio back in May, now I've completed the landing, walkway, and steps. Phase 3 -- the railing -- will probably be the most challenging, since I admittedly didn't plan too well for where and how it was going to attach. I might hire someone to install it, since I don't think I have the tools to correct for my poor planning. In the meantime, here are some before and after pictures of where I'm at:

My Weekend
I planned on spending this weekend working on my deck and taking a sailing class on Saturday, and I turned out getting a lot more than I was bargaining for, including a new laptop, softball game, and dinner with a friend I haven't seen in a while.
Friday night, Saturday afternoon, and Sunday I worked several hours on my deck, and I am happy to say it is coming along rather well. Building a deck is a lot like other things in life, where no matter how much effort you put forth in the planning process, something is bound not to go according to plan. I've had a few such snafus, including not measuring out the walkway width according to the decking width (steps need to be 36" wide, but 6 Trex boards, spaced at 1/4" apart, only gets 34.75", leaving a gap). The one that I'm currently dealing with is the fact that the deck necessarily needs to slope away from the house, so it is technically not level, and yet the steps need to be level, making it appear as though the steps are crooked. I'm think I'm just going to have to grin and bear it, since there's no going back at this point. Here are some pictures of my progress (still need to put the steps in):
A major surprise this weekend was that I ended up buying a laptop, the HP dv2000t. I say this was a surprise because I had configured it and added it to my cart about the middle of last week, but wouldn't pull the trigger for some reason. Then, when I got the Sunday paper today, the ads for HP seemed to indicate that the weekly special had changed, from something that was very advantageous for me to something that was barely impressive. Fortunately, since I had added it to my cart, the special from last week still applied (a bug, perhaps?), meaning that if I configured the same computer from scratch, it would've cost a lot more. Lucky me! So I bought it. I figured I've maximized the value out of my current machine, so I may as well sell it while it has value for someone else.
The other nice thing that happened this weekend was meeting up with Jonathan, my former roommate, for some grilled salmon a movie at my house. I hadn't seen him in several months, and he's actually going through a similar situation as me -- his girlfriend left Seattle for a job in NYC, and now he's got himself a good job in an ideal city and a nice house, and he's weighing what to do. We had far too much to catch up on, though, so I guess we'll just have to do this more often.

More grammar...
Grammar shouldn't really be classified under my "adventures", but I suppose one can have adventures in grammar, no?
First, I wanted to revisit the more/better discussion. I had a conversation about it today at work, and realized that it should be qualified even further. I believe that, in addition to "liking something more" (rather than "better"), there are lot of other interesting scenarios. Sometimes, verbs (such as those related to senses) -- need "better". E.g. "I feel better" or "I can see better when the lights are on". These examples have a different meaning entirely (yet still technically correct) if you insert "more" in place of "better". In general, "more" refers to quantity and "better" refers to quality. So why doesn't "I like red wine more than white" need "better" instead of "more", when we're talking about quality and not quantity? Perhaps it makes sense to look at the opposite: "I dislike the anchovies more than sardines." Clearly we wouldn't even think to use "better" in that, and yet it's the same construct. Off the top of my head, though, I can't think of many other verbs that require "more" as a rule (aside from the obvious other "feeling" verbs). Anyone have thoughts on this? I'd love to hear...
Today's grammar issue focuses on the correct answer to "How are you?". In my opinion, the only reason this question is answered with "I am well" rather than "I am good" is because there is an implied "doing" or "feeling" ("How are you doing?"). One does well but one is good. Of course, to answer "I am good" is equivalent to saying that you are "benevolent" or "virtuous", but I believe an adjective is the only proper answer to the question. When the verb "to be" is used as a primary very, rather than the auxiliary verb, whatever follows must modify the subject (a noun), and therefore must be an adjective. After all, we could just use any old adverb in place of well ("I am happily," doesn't cut it for me, unless "am" is the auxiliary to another verb: "I am happily writing a blog"). Now one could argue that "well" is actually an adjective in the case of "I am well", but there aren't too many other cases where that's true.
Stream of consciousness...one could "look well" and "feel well" and maybe even "seem well", adjectives in all three cases, so perhaps I've disproved my theory. If one is well, is that a matter of health? Because one is doing well, it has other connotations (such as being successful). So I guess my question really becomes this: Are "being well" and "doing well" the same thing? Or is "being" just an all-encompassing word that incorporates doing, feeling, looking, etc.? And just how does this all relate to "wishing someone well"? What part of speech is "well" in that phrase, and can it be replaced by anything other than an abstract noun (e.g. happiness, success)? I've never felt so confused by a word (and don't even get me started on the provincial, "I like it well"!)...

Lessons in grammar
Spending a lot of time in the car with a teacher can lead to some very interesting conversations. I had a feeling Jessica might be one of only a few people I know interested in a good grammar debate, and I was right. In the process, I got agreement on one of my controversial pet peeves, and got my other one shot down.
The first has to do with the replacement of the word "more" with the word "better", such as in the case of "I like red wine better than white wine," which some people like to pass off as being grammatically correct. Frankly, this usage of the word better has always hurt my ears. "Better" is not synonymous with "more" in this case. You could certainly say "Red wine is better than white wine", where "better" is the adjective that it should be, but it doesn't work so well (good?) as an adverb. However, as with many common grammatical errors, it's so infused in our lexicon that nobody even notices. Other than me, of course.
Feeling good about myself, I decided to fight the "I" vs. "me" argument in such sentences as "He is taller than me". I've always thought that the people who believe it should be "He is taller than I (am)" were using a lame excuse -- that the "am" is just implied. I argued that when it's not there, it's not there, but me is a capable substitute (see: "Who wants a cookie?" "ME!"). I tried to resort to such technical grammatical conventions as the "subordinate clause", which I hadn't used since diagramming sentences in 5th grade. However, Jessica soon pointed out the error of my ways by saying "She likes red wine better than me" (she had trouble changing her bad habit!). With the proper intonation, this doesn't sound as wrong as it may look (that she likes red wine more than she likes me). However, intonation is even more stupid to fall back on than implied words, and so the duplicate meaning of the sentence proves the point that it *needs* to read "She likes red wine more than I do." Case closed.

It's nice to get visitors
This past week, my friends Jessica and Mike from D.C. came to visit, since they just *had* to be part of my blog. According to Jess, she reads my blog occasionally when she wants to see nice pictures from the beautiful places I visit. This was a pleasant surprise to me, since I have no idea if anyone actually reads this stuff (or even looks at the pictures).
Anyway, they arrived late Tuesday night and stayed through Monday, barely missing out on the airport drama that happened in London. In the five full days they were here, I have to give them credit for seeing more of this state than most people see in a year. Wednesday, they hung around Ballard and went to the aquarium in the afternoon. Thursday, they headed to Mt. Rainier and got taken in by its beauty, despite the overcast weather.
Friday was the official beginning of my weekend. I took the day off from work and gave them a tour of Fremont (and Seattle) during the day, and then went sailing with them, my boss, and another co-worker on Friday night. I must say that it was a little strange giving out orders on the boat to my boss. Since this was the first time on the boat for all four of them, I was *really* hoping that there was good wind, but it turned out to be dead for much of the night. Fortunately, our patience paid off around 7:30 as the wind slowly and sporadically picked up for our last hour of sailing.
On Saturday we made the long (3 hour) drive down to Mt. St. Helens, and got a good education on volcanoes. I had been wanting to see it for some time now, and I'm glad this was their "gotta have it" activity for the week. The weather cooperated and magnified just how different this landscape is from the rest of the cascades. No Douglas firs, very little vegetation, and not a whole lot of water either.
Sunday was the icing on the cake, as we headed up to the North Cascades National Park for what turned out to be a fabulous hike through Heather Pass and Maple Pass. Once again, the weather was flawless and provided us with 360-degree views of some of the most rugged landscape the West has to offer. Our hike up to 7000 feet gave us views of two turquoise alpine lakes, and partially or fully glaciated peaks in all directions. Jess and Mike were particular impressed with the smurf-blue lakes in the park, and seemed adequately challenged by the 2100 vertical foot ascent.
All in all, it was an excellent weekend for me, and I think they would agree. August is a great time to visit this city, to escape all the heat and humidity elsewhere in the country. Why is it so hard to convince people to come then?
I'm hoping Mike will be nice enough to mail me the pictures he took with his digital SLR, which are no doubt much nicer than these!

Frivolity in the workplace
Have you ever had your company spend a ton of money on you (or even just a little bit), wishing that, instead of wasting the money, they would instead just give you the cash? Plenty of things come to mind -- free sweatshirts, backpacks, tshirts galore, and most importantly, business cards.
Yes, we got our business cards this week, in boxes of about 250. Now, I don't know how much these things cost. I've heard estimates as high as 80 cents, but I'll be conservative and say 50 cents. That's $125 worth of cards with my name on them that I'll never make use of. Sure, I may drop one in the jar at a local restaurant in hopes of winning a free meal, but for business purposes? I'm a software developer! I don't meet people. Certainly not anyone that would have any interest in contacting me at work. I've been working at Groundspeak for almost 10 months, and I've gotten maybe two phone calls at my desk (another waste of money on me), both of which were irrelevant to my job.
Over the years I've probably received 5 or 6 boxes of these cards (one company even gave me two boxes at once), and I might've used 1 or 2 cards for actual business purposes. And is there any particular reason that they always have to come in sets of about 250? Can't I get about 20 of them, and refill as necessary? It's almost as if there's an unwritten rule that you can't be a real business unless your employees have cards. What is this world coming to?

A weekend to savor
This was an exciting weekend for me on so many levels. It started off on Thursday night, when I got my shipment of wood from Dunn Lumber to complete Phase 2 (of 3) of my deck --a replacement landing, stairway, and walkway out to my new patio. I also had three parties to attend, which, for anyone who knows me, is usually enough for 2 months.
I got started on the deck on Friday night, and worked on it on-and-off throughout the weekend, eventually completing the walkway frame. This is a good place to stop, since my old landing and steps, though wobbly, are still in tact and usable. Here are some pictures of the big plan, and of my progress so far:
The first party I went to was a Dartmouth Alumni Club Blue Angels party at an alum's lakefront house in Medina. For those of you not from here, Medina is a very affluent and secluded suburb on the east side of Lake Washington, home to the Gates estate, among others. I was curious to go just to see what it was like on the inside of one of these beautiful homes, and I was not disappointed. The backyard was enormous, nicely decorated and perfect for a party of more than 70 people. It was also an ideal place from which to watch the air show, as the jets flew no more than a few hundred feet directly overhead. It's amazing what they're capable of.
After a brief stop at home, I went off to my next party at my friend Owen's, a former classmate of mine at the UW. It was more of a dinner party with very interesting people from very different backgrounds from the first party. While a lot of discussion at the Dartmouth party focused on investments, tax evasion, and other such topics, Owen's party seemed to be filled with people who worked in areas of conservation, marine science, and education. Between the two parties, I probably met 2 dozen new people, which is a drastic improvement from the wedding last weekend. Going to parties where you don't know anyone isn't so bad after all!
Sunday was the annual Groundspeak Blue Angels party at my co-worker Elias and his fiancee
Karyl's house, on the Seattle side of Lake Washington
n. This was a much smaller party, but I also knew almost everyone this time. It was very enjoyable, with lots of good food, wonderful hosts, and even a dip into the lake for me.
Throughout the whole weekend, the weather remained flawless, with afternoon highs into the low 80's with nary a cloud in the sky. What more could I ask for! My friend Jessica and her boyfriend Mike are coming to visit from D.C. this week, and the perfect weather is forecast to continue for the foreseeable future.

A Week of Firsts
This week has been a week of firsts for me. It started Sunday with the wedding of my friends Todd an Marie. No, this wasn't the first wedding I've ever been to, but it was the first I've been to solo, and to add to that, I didn't know another soul besides the bride, groom, and my ex-girlfriend (who introduced me to them). I admittedly had "a few butterflies in the stomach" as I approached the wedding venue, not wanting to stand out too much. I learned that people who attend weddings (myself included) tend to hang closely with the people they know, and it's hard for a stranger to break in. Added to this was the fact that most of the people flew in from the Tennessee and North Carolina, so they were especially groupy. No worries, though. A little wine loosened everything up, and Todd and Marie did a good job of placing me at a table with people of my age and shared interests.
The other first for me this week was my first attempt at wakeboarding, which I tried Tuesday morning before work on Lake Washington. For those of you not familiar, wakeboarding is essentially snowboarding while being pulled by a speedboat. My co-workers Bryan and Elias are big into wakeboarding and jet skiing, and they invited me out for a try. I requested that they bring a camera, just in case I was able to get going long enough to take a picture. Wishful thinking! After watching them master the wake so smoothly, I jumped in the water and tried 5 or 6 times to get up, to no avail. They telling me it was like someone pulling you up after you had fallen off your chair, and it all made perfect sense, but the forces were so great that I could find that balance point. Instead, I managed to swallow several gallons of the lake and ended up with a splitting headache. No worries, I will try this again sometime. I now have a much finer appreciation for those that could do board sports, since it doesn't come naturally to me at all. I used to think that I was athletic enough to just pick things up, but those pipe dreams are long gone. I'll stick to sailing!
