After hours of painting, we finished painting the bedroom. Next we need to paint the floor to seal the previous owner’s pet smells, then get the carpet installed and move all the furniture back in.

I’m ready to have my clothes back in the bedroom instead of all over the house!  Jessica’s dresser is in the front room, my hanging clothes live in Amelia’s closet but my dresser is in our guest room.

The finished paint job looks good. It's still a little splotchy in this pic since it's drying, but I'm happy with how it turned out.

A couple years ago, I tried switching to dvorak. I liked it, but then I got a new computer and I didn’t switch the keys on it.

Until last night:

All the keys switched on my Macbook Pro keyboard. Click for full size.

I’m slowly re-learning where everything is.

We’re tearing out the final flooring that we haven’t replaced in our upstairs: the master bedroom carpet.

It’s gross. Dirty, dog peed on, and just plain nasty.

Check out the path worn into the carpet as you enter the room:

Ew!

Here’s a quick preview of what it might look like when we’re done painting and have some new, clean, fresh carpet.

Dear Palm OS, you have been with me for a decade, and I’ll miss you. I’ve found a new friend named Blackbery, and, well, let’s not draw this out.

I’ve literally been using Palm OS for ten years and I’m switching to a Blackberry Curve. It’s only been a day and I’m still halfway between bewildered and confident. I’ve got everything up and running: Calendar and Contacts sync with Google, work email comes in, and the GMail app for my personal mail all work.

I can’t figure out how to personalize ringtones. I mean, I found the setting but it doesn’t play when that person calls, it’s just silent. Not sure what I’m doing wrong.

Anyway, Palm OS, it’s not you, it’s me. I hope your new Web OS on the Pre works out for you.

I stumbled across How to nail an interview, where a fellow records interviews to try and glean ways that he can learn to interview better. The tips are pretty common sense, but the interview videos crack me up.

Here’s one, there are more in the page linked above.
